Cool video

Just terrible news. I always enjoyed Pauls posts and was impressed with the quality of his work.

His work was one of the benchmarks  and inspired me to get in the garage and work on my 02.

Not more than a week ago I bookmarked his thread for a winter project.

Thoughts and Prayers for his family. 

Godspeed Paul

Nice pic of his plate hopefully its his.

Nice apron

Nice box

Saran Wrap it to a 1x2 or a scrap piece of trim then pack it.   

The exterior pictures are overdone, but the interior and suspension look good.

I mean can the exterior be that nice ? As usual his presentation is very well done.

Very nice car for sure.  

Cool I can get one for my kid.  Ohh wait wat  wtf.  2009, thought I had old coupons.

I think you would miss the 02 more than enjoy  the BRZ.

That and I'm not a Subi boxer fan.

I like Subaru's just don't want to own one.

Great news .  Been thinking how to get it home and where to store it.  

Ran the part number on eBay and a dozen pop up. Bad news is there all in Europe.

I have ordered parts from eBay Europe before with good results.

Sorry to hear this. I did not know Dan personally but did enjoy reading his posts and the knowledge he had.

My heart goes out to his family.  RIP

Cleaned up the garage getting ready for a Michigan winter. ☹️

I have plenty of cool projects to do.

Hopefully life doesn't  get in the way this winter and I actually get something done.

Spent the last two days working on sub frames for our 72 Ceylon tii that’s bring painted, starting to put together tomorrow…

Your work ethic is impressive 

My Birthday present showed up today. Another project for over the winter.

Thank You Kooglewerks.  

I spotted one in my garage. Could use a wash but still pretty cool. 

I'm okay with it.  Thought it was hair at first  and kept trying to wipe it off my laptop screen.

Be careful with the cheaper aftermarket shift rod joints, like MTC and URO.  I bought a couple of those before opting for the much more expensive Genuine BMW joint.  The cheaper ones had the hole for the pin that attaches to the tranny shifter shaft drilled off center, so it didn't line up and wouldn't work.  I am sure most of them are probably fine, but the ones I got were a no go.

Had this problem also 

So I rolled the the dice and place an order for some wheel spacers and a fuel rail.

Ordered on Thursday a.m. est.  My order was shipped  Thursday afternoon and received it today Monday in Michigan.

Everything was correct and as it should be.

I was very disappointed  with my last attempt to order and very critical them. 

Looks like they turned the corner and things are getting better.

Do you know of those LEDs were plug 'n play to work with the rheostat, and if so, the source of the lamps.  Or did they require any additional wiring, etc?  They're much brighter than the OEM incandescents and look better too.

I purchased mine at SuperBrightLEDs. They are plug n play also dimmable.  Over a year with no problems.

Everything is LED but the alternator light.
