    Which Taiga Green? Both BMW 072

    I've just been going through this myself, albiet on my 2002. The color you show on the right more closely matches the PPG color sample I had made. The formulation of which is similar to Mal's photo. As has been said, Taiga changes a LOT depending on lighting. Fortunately, working for Peter...

    looking for advice on which electric fuel pump to get

    I've recently jumped down this rabbit hole, albeit on my 2002 (running triple webers on an M20 engine). Basically the low-pressure in-tank pump was a common practice on early fuel injection cars using a two pump system (low-pressure in tank, high-pressure external). This helps those of us carb...

    Reintroduction and some new parts in the works.

    Rick, that's great news. Thanks for the kind words, hopefully they treat you well. Mark, the online shipping system isn't great yet. If you email me directly with your address, I'll happily send over an invoice manually. ([email protected])

    These little guys are ready. Assuming a couple coupe guys may want them. https://adamsautosport.com/product/license-plate-light-lenses/

    Monterey Memories 2018

    Love that 315. Also, I had a friend there taking his own photos. It appears you were spotted. https://www.facebook.com/Carchaeology/photos/pcb.1820110874746767/1820109424746912/?type=3&theater

    Ireland Engineering Header Fitment Question

    There were two variations of the IE headers. The second iteration wrapped in a little closer and would clear the frame rail more often then not. FYI, Schmeidmann bought an IE header and sent it to China. I was working for Jeff at the time and took the order. I have seen a number of the...

    Reintroduction and some new parts in the works.

    Hi Mark, I make the lines out of Cunifer. I prefer not to use stainless steel for brake lines for a variety of reasons. Bullet points are as follows. 1) Cunifer offers corrosion resistance on par with stainless steel 2) Cunifer is softer that SS, so it is bent easier and seals better. 3)...

    Reintroduction and some new parts in the works.

    Jay - They ship in a normal cardboard box, actually just going over box dimensions right now in the U-Line catalog. Lead time is 1 week after the intent-to-purchase has been established. I have a spreadsheet for the 2002 with all the auxiliary mounting hardware (with part numbers), putting one...

    Reintroduction and some new parts in the works.

    Well, if people were willing to take the risk, I'd be happy to make them available in that way as well. However, I don't want to promote a false sense of security when there is a risk factor that needs to be considered. Now, I've done what I can engineering-wise to minimize that risk factor...

    Reintroduction and some new parts in the works.

    Ed - Ha, can imagine so. I am curious about 123dizzy's availability on the more exotic hardware. Stephen - I'm %100 in agreement! It is a beautiful solution. I figure hiding the line altogether is a close second (with higher safety margins).

    Reintroduction and some new parts in the works.

    Re: The M30 Triple Weber Fuel Rails. The initial thought was to make a continuous rail like I already do for the M10 (and one M20) engine. See photos below for reference. Very simple, but too risky on an M30. The problem is that with the M30 setup, that is a LONG ridged hardline that is...

    Reintroduction and some new parts in the works.

    I have. I can do a "coiled" setup for that as well if you wanted. The ends would have a bead-rolled flare to keep tubing from sliding off. That being said, the fuel system can be individualistic, making "kits" a hit-or-miss. If you were after someone local (who is reasonable but very...

    Reintroduction and some new parts in the works.

    Whoops, yes, as Stephen quotes, the difference is that one includes the "bodyline" and the other does not. It is the longest line on the car and I simply send it out as a "coiled" piece for compact shipping. Some people do not want to replace it as it requires the most work. For example here...

    Reintroduction and some new parts in the works.

    Thank you guys (and thank you Ed! Should have known you would be on here with your project.) Scott, I am located out here in OrangeCounty/LosAngeles region, just sent you an email back. Stephen, that sounds like an interesting setup. I should be able to help though, depending on what the...

    Reintroduction and some new parts in the works.

    I probably know a number of you guys either directly or indirectly already (either through the 2002FAQ, my past job, or the current day-job), but this is my first foray onto the E9 Forum in a couple years, and the first time writing after starting to do parts on my own. In the coming...

    Turin National Auto Museum Concept

    Thanks for posting these. The head curator for the museum actually takes time to teach Automotive History for design majors at IED Turin. I was fortunate to be one of his students several years ago. We were able to have access to everything after hours and were encouraged to open doors and...

    Shortening front struts ?

    Either you misunderstood or the person you talked to was mistaken. Ireland still does plenty of E9 suspension setups. You'll want to talk to Jeremy, he's been doing them for a couple decades.

    brake conversion

    Yep, really depends on application. I think that would be self evident! for example, here's a couple more coupes running IE kits that actually need it .... http://www.iemotorsport.com/gallery/v/car-of-month/July+2012+-+Arthur+Porter+-+E9+CSL/ And Mike's hotrod...

    72 Restomod clubracer build

    There is no reason why they would not work on an E3, in fact I know of at least a half dozen E3's running them. I'm enjoying watching this beast come to life!

    Repair shop in Boise Idaho for engine work any advice is appreciated

    I am very biased as I grew up in Boise, shoot Supreme Auto a call ( http://boisesupremeauto.com/ ). The shop and the family behind it is responsible for making me fall in love with cars.
