1971 BMW 2002 with M20 6 cylinder engine and Getrag 260 5-speed transmission & ecu.  The motor had a little over 100,000 miles at the time of the swap with 3,306.6 miles driven since the build.   All driveline, suspension, brakes, etc were either replaced or upgraded.   Specifics include:

1.  Fresh head and timing belt.

2.  New IE clutch kit and Ireland Engineering (IR) E30 short shift kit and IE windage tray.

3.  Guibo and custom driveshaft.

4.  Front and Rear Main seals.

5.  E28 Engine Mount and custom transmission mount.

6.  All gaskets and typical comprehensive tune-up items.

7.  Stitch welded engine bay and added body to frame reinforcement to compensate for the increased torque.  

8.  3.91 LSD rear differential from a 320 mated to all new CV joints and half-shafts using IE’s adaptor kit.  

9.  Custom fabricated new front and rear strut bars (the rear with a battery tray)

10. Custom headers leading into a complete custom 2.5” stainless steel exhaust.

11. H&R springs.

12. 15”x6” Panasport Minilites.

13. Bilstein sport shocks.

14.  Hankook tires.

15. Euro flush turn signals.

16. New strut top bearings and IE Negative Camber Plates.  

17. IE front vented big brake kit with Volvo calipers, tii master cylinder and rear drum cylinders and stainless steel lines.  

18. All bushings to polyurethane from IE

19. IE front and rear sway bars.

20. All new steering arms and bushings.

21. Since the Getrag 260 doesn’t have a mechanical speedo output,  a set of Haneline hot rod gauges are used getting RPM information from the ecu and

      speed/Odo information via GPS.   The gauges include fuel, water temp, oil pressure, and amp gauges that fit the look of the car well.

22. An IE fiberglass replica using hood pins for attachment replaces the stock hood.

23.  All of the door and side window gaskets have been replaced with new OEM gaskets that fit and perform well.  

24.  The chrome trim and window squeegees on both the inside and outside of both doors have been replaced.

25. New black carpet kit from Only02 along with a black stock rear bench seat.

26. New vintage Recaro recliners with Schroth 4-point harnesses.

27. New door cards are from Aardvarc and covered them with black material very similar to the Recaro fabric.

28. I also covered the stereo console and rear deck cover in the same fabric.  I opted to paint the roof of the car black instead of installing a new              

     headliner.

29. New Suede Sparco 350mm steering wheel.  

30. The dash was replaced with an used OEM dash with only one 1/4" crack where raised guage area drops down to passanger level.

31.  Also Included are the BMW owner’s handbook, the 2002 Workshop Manual and a Budge car cover.

Several items can either go with the car or I’ll sell separately including a new front air dam from IE, four Hankook slicks and four Fitipaldi alloy wheels. 

The exterior restoration was done by a paint and body man experienced with collector car restorations and has less than 400 miles since completion.  The car runs, sounds and looks awesome getting thumbs up every time I drive it.  It’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face.  I’ve had it stored under a car cover in an air conditioned/humidity controlled garage since I had it shipped in from California where it was built by Groma Race Fabrications.  It needs nothing mechanically and has absolutely no rust anywhere.  This is my fifth 2002 putting together all the features I’ve ever dreamed of with the first four.  I only wish I could enjoy it but health reasons necessitate the sale.

Recharge Wrap-up: Batty battery covers, Mercedes at Silvretta, new Hyundai Sonata Hybrid available in 2015

Tue, Jul 8 2014

Apparently, Chevrolet Volt battery covers make suitable homes for bats. As part of an Eagle Scout project, Matthew Netherland created 30 bat houses out of scrapped Volt battery covers donated by Chevy. 22 of the bat houses will be set up near hydroelectric dams in Michigan. Each bat house will accommodate 100 bats, and divert the scrapped materials from the landfill. The battery covers also make great nesting boxes for wood ducks, which General Motors has previously set up at its Milford, Michigan Proving Ground. Last weekend was the Silvretta E-Auto Rally, which saw emissions-free vehicles cross the Montafon Mountains in Austria, including cars from Mercedes-Benz. These cars included the B-Class Electric Drive, B-Class F-Cell, SLS AMG Electric Drive and even the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive. Also on hand for the Silvretta Classic Rally was a V8-powered C111, a 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC and 300 SL Roadster. Read more in the press release, below. BMW has finalized pricing for the i8 in the US at $135,700 (plus $925 in destination charges). In addition to the base price tag, which we've known for a while, BMW Blog has the complete pricing guide with options and packages. Most of the i8 orders were the Pure Impulse World package, which includes various aesthetic upgrades. It also provides membership to the BMW i Pure Impulse Program, which allows you to "to enjoy innovative ideas and trends in a variety of areas, including home styling, culture, gourmet gastronomy, design and many more." Head over to BMW Blog for more information. The new generation of the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid will arrive later than the rest of the model lineup, confirms Car and Driver. While the gas-powered Sonatas get updated now for the 2015 model year, the Hybrid remains unchanged until late this year or early 2015, when it will arrive as a 2016 model. Hyundai is offering a 2015 Sonata Eco edition, but with 28 miles per gallon in the city and 38 mpg highway (32 combined), it's not quite as appealing as the current Sonata Hybrid's 36/40/38 figures. Read more here. In June, average US fuel economy was 25.5 miles per gallon, making it the fifth straight month above 25 mpg, according to University of Michigan. The average window sticker ratings from vehicles sold in June dropped slightly from 25.6 mpg in May. The year started at 24.9 mpg in January, and hasn't dropped below 25 mpg since.

BMW may be planning AMG Black Series competitors

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

Word has it BMW has its heart set on giving the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series a run for its money in the US. According to BimmerBoost.com, the German automaker has been making more and more noise about offering a number of specialty models aimed specifically at enthusiasts. While at the Detroit Auto Show this year, the BMW PR machine revealed 2013 will be "an interesting year" and that buyers can expect one or two products aimed specifically at swiping buyers from the clutches of the C63 AMG Black Series. The news came courtesy of Automobile writer Marc Noordeloos' Twitter machine.
Noordeloos reportedly interviewed several executives familiar with the M models while in Detroit, and says the M division would like to offer hardware like the M3 CSL, GTS or CRT to buyers here in the States. That sounds great to us, but saying something doesn't make it true, and manufacturers rarely find it in their hearts to bring money-losing machines to our green shores. Still, that won't stop us from crossing our fingers.
