This is the 6th 2002 I've owned and it has become my favorite! She's a '76 model refinished in fresh Malaga paint.

I built this little hot rod to be my weekend toy. I wanted to pay homage to vintage racers and think I pulled it off. I originally bought the car with a TON of reciepts including original invoice! She's fresh out of her restoration and I've put maybe 270 miles on her since.

BODY & INTERIOR
I've got a lot of time in her and I think it shows. I repaired all rust, which really wasn't much, including both sills, front floors and frame rails. (The spare tire well has a soft spot in it from slight rust - this is the ONLY rust left.) I removed the lower molding and WELDED each and every hole! I also removed the rear driving lights and front side reflectors. (Those were welded in as well.) I installed turbo flares (ABS plastic so they're not brittle) which is quite a job when you want to do it right!

The interior has new carpeting, new vintage racing seats with custom lower mounts, and refurbished door cards. I also threw in a new Momo Prototipo Steering Wheel. You'll notice I removed the center console which makes it look much more "purposeful" - the look reminds me of a Porsche 914/6 race car I fell in love with. I fitted the earlier round-style shift boot which required the fabrication of a mount on the transmission tunnel. The shift knob is the BMW wood knob.

I also installed an early rear bumper doing away with the "back porch-of-a-bumper" it had. For lighting I installed H4 headlamps which really throw the light and are a great improvement over stock lamps.

The front bumper was also removed and in it's place I installed CIBIE Oscar Driving Lamps - these are getting stupid hard to find and EXPENSIVE! The bracket I made for them can be slid out if wanted. (I did this in case I needed to slide the stock bumper back in for inspection.) The car also features the flat front turn signals which are equally scarce and NOT cheap.

The hood hold downs are old-school rubber latches - I did away with the hold down bar and mechanism.

The car sits on Minilite replicas in 15X7.5 size with 0 offset - the grip is out of hand for this light little dude! Tires are new 205/50/15.

SUSPENSION
The car is suspended on H&R Sport Springs dampened by KYB Gas-Adjusts. I also replaced the majority of steering gear under the car: New front control arms, new tie rods and center link, and new ball joints. I also installed urethane sway bar bushing which keep her darn flat when cornering!

BRAKES
The brakes are stock units with new pads and new front calipers. All four corners are served through Korman stainless steel brake lines with new fluid.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The engine is the tried and true M10 4cyl with a Weber 32/36 carb carrying a water choke. The air cleaner is a Pipercross foam cleaner. I installed a "sync link" on the carb which converts it from progressive to synchronous operation - both carb barrels open at the the same time giving it great grunt when you "get on it" in 3rd. The ODO indicates 62957 miles.

The engine is mounted on Ireland Engineering urethane engine mounts as well as IE urethane transmission mount. All smog stuff has been eliminated and I cleaned up a lot of the under-hood mess.

The transmission is the stock 4speed box that is as stout of a 4 speed box as one can find - It's filled with Red Line MTL. I installed a new slave cylinder as well.

The ignition features electronic ignitor in the distributor, 8mm Ireland Engineering plug wires, and a Crane ignition box. The radiator is from an e21 and was a kit from Bimmer Parts Co. The car runs cool as a cucumber even on the hottest of days!

I installed new OEM under-hood decals including a new VIN plaque I'm in the process of installing. (Makes the engine compartment look new!) You'll also find a Hella twin air horn under the hood as well. (Crazy loud!) The engine runs steady as a rock, idles very well and sounds great through it's "newer" OEM exhaust. The whole car was just painted last month in BMW Malaga which shows great with the gold wheels. No smoke on deccel or accel.

TO FINISH
I ran into some time constraints with this project and so the rear seating area is unfinished. I originally left this area unfinished to install a roll bar but could not source one at the time. I do have a rear seat for the car which was not installed at the time the photos were taken. The CIBIE Oscars are not hooked up but the car does have an OEM fog lamp switch in the console (NOT the "dummy" knob) which did operate some small Hellas that were originally on the car.

Recharge Wrap-up: Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Finishes AXCR, Nissan Leafs drive 528 million collective miles

Wed, Aug 20 2014

The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV has successfully completed the Asia Cross Country Rally 2014. The plug-in Mitsu finished first in the EV class, and 14th overall, clocking in at 19 hours, 17 minutes and 12 seconds. For its second year in the competition, the Outlander PHEV used a new suspension with more ground clearance to help it tackle the race's treacherous terrain. Besides the glory of taking on the challenging competition, the rally helped Mitsubishi gather valuable data for EV development. The race took place over 1,367 miles of varied terrain from Thailand to Cambodia. Read more at Hybrid Cars, or visit Mitsubishi UK's Facebook page. Nissan Leaf drivers have driven more than 528 million miles worldwide. That accounts for a reduction of 150,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions since the EV's 2010 launch. Nissan projects that Leaf drivers will surpass a collective 1 billion electric kilometers (621 million miles) by January 2015, or perhaps even sooner if sales keep increasing. The mileage data was collected through the car's CarWings telemetry.

Whether it's battery-electric, hybrid, or plug-in hybrid, electrons will be doing their share to get the well-heeled from place to place. According to an article at The Sydney Morning Herald, PHEVs are "the most promising option." The BMW i8 is a fine example, as is the Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid, and Audi and Mercedes-Benz have plug-in plans of their own. Lexus, not so much. Read more at The Sydney Morning Herald. PGA golfer Hunter Mahan has taken delivery of a BMW i3 he won by scoring a hole-in-one. BMW offered a free, all-electric i3 to the first player to score a hole-in-one in the 2013 BMW Championship at Conway Farms Golf Club, which Mahan did on the 17th hole. The BMW Championship raised money for Evans Scholars Foundation. BMW Hole-in-One Scholar Melyzjah Smith, who was awarded a full four-year college tuition and housing scholarship in honor of Mahan's slick shot, was on hand to meet the golfer as he received his i3.

BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo won't be a one-and-done model

Tue, Jan 27 2015

The BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo seems like a model without a real segment to fit into. It doesn't quite match the mold for the swoopy four-door coupe niche like the Porsche Panamera or the brand's own 6 Series Gran Coupe. However, the vehicle isn't really a station wagon to appeal to those utilitarian buyers, either. Despite this identity crisis, BMW is reportedly prepping another GT for the next-gen 5 Series platform. According to German magazine Auto Motor und Sport, the 5 Series GT somehow has been a big enough sales success in the US and China to warrant another model. The next one would allegedly arrive in 2016, which is the about the same size as the future 5 Series sedan. The magazine speculates the new GT could lose about 221 pounds in the transition and be offered with four- and six-cylinder powertrains, plus a plug-in hybrid with an electric driving range estimated at around 19 miles. Globally, China is actually the larger 5er GT market than the US. According to IHS senior analyst Stephanie Brinley to Autoblog, the variant sold 21,089 units worldwide in 2013 (2014 is still being tabulated), and that represented about 5.7 percent of the 370,930 total sales for the 5 Series. China bought 42 percent of the world's GTs, compared to about 10 percent of the mix from the US. Europe, meanwhile, took about 29 percent of them that year. While the GT's sales figures make up just a fraction of the overall 5 Series, the variant is still a moneymaker for BMW, and IHS forecasts a second generation, too. "The 5 Series range as a whole is stronger for having this product, and it's very likely that the company's profit margin is higher on the GT, even with the cost of some dedicated sheetmetal and tooling," said Brinley.

BMW i3 configurator is so advanced it's replaced trim levels

Fri, 25 Apr 2014

BMW's electric i3 is slowly marching its way to dealers. It might not be happening quite fast enough for customers, though. For you anxious individuals, head over to the BMW consumer website and build your ideal i3 in the new configurator.
Before we talk about all the stuff this build tool can do, we need to address the naming of BMW's trim levels for the EV hatchback. The 328i, for example, is available in Sport Line, M Sport Line and Luxury Line. That's good; it makes sense. The i3, though, has Giga World, Tera World and Mega World. Seriously. We've no idea what BMW was thinking when it came up with this (this is the same company that regularly uses the phrase "Sport Activity Vehicle," so...).
Silly names aside, let's try and translate where each trim fits in. The Mega World is the base trim. The Giga, at $1,700, adds stylish leather-and-wool seats in a clean two-tone color scheme, along with 19-inch wheels and a leather-covered IP. The Tera World demands $2,700, but makes up for it with its own 19-inch wheels and a full leather interior. Both lines (worlds?) add satellite radio and eucalyptus wood trim.
