    Alpine White Rattle Can

    A little late to reply but I have several old BMWs and Rovers and have found that the BMW alpinweiss is the same color as the single stage alpine white that Rover used. I have several cans that I bought from Tower Paint several years ago.

    Trade my SD D1 roof rack for your SD D2 roof rack?

    I was faced with the same issue and decided to cut and lengthen mine. I had some trouble finding the right diameter tubing but found that you can cut a section out of the center and use it for splices. Then you can section the center tubes with the replacement tube that is only slightly larger...

    '95 D1- reverse only...

    That sounds like a typical issue that used to be seen with the BMW autos from the mid-late '80s. They also used the 4hp22eh trans and the issue usually came from reving the engine while in park as would happen during the emission testing or A/C charging. The A pack clutches would burn up leaving...

    20 years ago there were 3 or 4 main suppliers producing wheel scales for the racing market. We produced so many that most every local circle track race team here in the US had a set themselves or were at their disposal. We seven sold them to gocart and quarter midget racers and it became a...
