hey guys.
i’m glad to be part of pittspeed.
I joined really from a link a friend at work sent about auto x’ing starting this weekend. I’m new to autox but have wanted to do it for years.
i have a few cars which keep me out of the bars and at home (as my wife puts it).
1972 bmw 2002
1989 bmw 325ix (best car ever in the snow)
1999 bmw 318ti (what i want to auto x)
for starters i have these cars b/c how how well the handle and the blast they are to drive. as far as i’m concerned, someone else can drive them for the blue and white roundel, and give me what’s left.
hopefully i’ll see some of you guys at north park on saturday!
you and me both. unfortunately they are through the roof right now (45k+ for one that doesn’t need a full resto)…check www.2002ad.com they usually import them from Japan and want a BIG buck!
a couple of other big ‘setups’ are dual sidedrafts, a single sidedraft setup (w/a linx manifold) or ITB’s and motronic. it’s a throw back and a half to drive the 02 over the other cars. but the are all a TON of fun in their own right!!!
there was a turbo for sale local for 12k roughly 2-3 yrs ago. it was in project car hell-- all tore down nothing marked body work started but not painted. i dunno what ever happened to it.
