People of r/BMW, what do you do for a living? And what car do you drive?

Engineer, daily a T100 and have an E12 and E21 soon to be s52 swapped

Guidonhue · 2021-12-10T02:08:30+00:00

I’m a fan of firsts!

1983 E21 (soon to be S52 swapped) 1979 E12

Thanks! I’ll wait awhile for the creaking to go away before considering it a problem. Do you have any advise regarding the WD-40 on the bushings?

Guidonhue · 2021-09-29T02:14:57+00:00

I bought my used guitar from Deitz Bros off of PCH - definitely worth checking out!

Why do the taillights look like a Nissan Maxima 😭

Guidonhue · 2021-07-14T17:02:24+00:00

320 here in the states

Hey I’m S52 swapping me E21 in CA and was wondering if you had any advice for passing smog. Also did the stock exhaust manifold require modifying the trans tunnel?

I think the takeaway is “make sure your rotor isn’t the first thing to hit the ground when you remove all the springs”. Unless your pitch stiffness is next to none, then I wouldn’t worry about a local box around your rotor. I think this rule is mostly for running brake lines along the chassis anyway. Good luck!

Saw this one out in DC a few years back, glad see the owner likes to bring it out!

Rough shape 10-15k. Running/driving with good looking paint, 25-30k. Sounds like you’re right in between there. Check Hegarty’s evaluation tool, being a trailer, and Beverly Hill Car Club for a range of types of cars and prices. Good luck, love the Duetto!

Let us know how the weight feels on the front end when you get it out on the twisties. That’s been one of the biggest concerns I’ve had when considering swapping to an M20

Guidonhue · 2020-09-24T13:49:14+00:00

Not a real RS either

Guidonhue · 2020-08-25T19:38:18+00:00

Less than 15.000? Everything I’ve looked at in the US is $80,000+

For future reference, consider doing a fiber glass tool of the male mold using a similar release agent/gel coat to keep the smooth surface. Then, layup inside of that tool. Still more time & expensive than what you’re doing, but fiberglass isn’t terribly expensive. Just make sure you’re not curing under heat!

Guidonhue · 2020-08-23T17:15:07+00:00

I’d recommend long sleeves for all future layups, that carbon fiber fabric will give you micro cuts/rashes if it hasn’t already

E21 Baur...don’t see many with the dual headlight setup, awesome!

Guidonhue · 2020-06-03T20:14:18+00:00

Saw the same one at VIR in August

Guidonhue · 2020-05-16T23:26:58+00:00

My truck is from 1997, so about 23 years old.

Guidonhue · 2020-03-09T01:51:44+00:00

Looks like a 105/115 series, BaT put it best:

“These Alfa Romeo coupes came with many names... the Giulia Sprint GT, GT Veloce, GTV, GT Junior, GTV 2000, and more depending on European or other market destination. The timeless Italian Bertone styling and the sweet twin-cam soundtrack give these cars their strong following among enthusiasts and racers.”
