Your seats look very nice. I seriously thought about going to black, as it is so useable and straightforward. In the end I went with the tan as it was original to the car, and seemed to fit the Tundra with a 'soft' ambience an the goal was more a GT than a CSL.

Although delayed by a move to Ohio, we finished putting on an exhaust system using Ireland s/s ceramic coated headers and a series of Magnaflow mufflers with period twin resonated Ansa-style tips. While not to everyone's taste the car is near absolutely quiet in the cabin except for some muffled...

While delayed by my move to Ohio, the new interior is in. While it may not be perfect, we tried to replicate the original materials as closely as we could to what the car was delivered with best I can tell. We also installed several other small tweaks, such as the seats are electrically heated -...

test fitting We test fit the covers today in the continuing effort to reproduce the tan/beige style corduroy/velour cloth interior original to my car. All we have had to go with are very few photos, usually of other colors. It is interesting how the shade of the velour changes depending on the...

After installing a 265 5 speed with short shifter and a coupe king wide center console, the shift lever still hits the edge of the opening going to reverse. What might I be missing? Many thanks.

Very sad news. A great man who made a great number of people very happy. I imagine he's on those great blue roads in the sky. Rest well.

Today the reinforced front and standard rear springs and rubber pads were ordered from W&N. The lowering springs were just to low for a daily driver, especially in the rear, although the ride was good. The new springs should be here in about a week or so. Will post side-by-side photos, and give...

That is a beautiful little car. It would have been wonderful had BMW stayed in that market niche.

Springs Taking dQ's advice, I dialed up the Walloth website for springs. Indeed, it lists: Front coil spring, reinforced - 99 euros progressive coil spring CSL -152 euros Rear coil spring standard version - 102 euros coil spring rear progressive rate CSL - 125.40 euros What does...

Results Picked up car today with the ST sway bars installed, as well as the Korman lowering springs and Biltiens. A very nice ride, can be a little stiff on potholed repaired roads, but very flat and responsive compared to stock. Terry Sayther even took it for a drive and commented how nice it...

Seen at Terry Sayther's in Austin. Very tiny - and very cool.

Thanks guys! It is indeed a nice bit of kit. Great photos!!

Called Ben at LaJolla, and now Pertronix #1868 is running in the 72 CSi. Car is at Terry Sayther's getting the 5 speed (also from Ben), a set of ST bars and original BMW fender flares. I believe this car had them at cometime in the past as the fender lips were already drilled for them. Mr...

Installation this week... Any advice or precautions ? Thanks

Very well done!

Began seat disassembly; the foam and horsehair are in pretty poor condition, but the metal is good. Will cut some new foam to re-sculpt the seats as original. We have pretty good matches on beige corduroy, velour and leather from LeBarron Bonney to re-create the original cloth interior as best...

"Prices from $1495" Looks cool, though.

Perfect! Many thanks - will call Ben at LaJolla!

The distributor on my 72 CSi, Bosch 0231 306 001, does not have a listing for a Pertronix kit. Do any D-jet CSi folks run pertronix, and if so, what is the number and where did you order it? Thanks

Cool. Photo?
