does anyone know where i could get a shifter for shorter throws for my 1971 2002 4 speed and how much would it be. :help

Dave Varco at Aardarc Racing makes one. www.2002parts.com

thanks dude. i've looked everywhere and couldn't find one. :redspot

No problem. If you have any more questions about 2002's let me know. :)

what kind of work have you done to your 2002? where can i find an intake manifold.

I just remembered that Ardvarc Racing's SSK might be only for the 5 speed conversion. Another SSK for the 2002's is to use the stock lever from a 3.0 Z4.

What kind of carb do you have on your 02? The cheapest place to get a manifold for the stock carb is from a junkyard.

As far as the things I have done on my 02, the list is pretty long as I'm building it into a racecar.

Interior
320 is Recaro seats
Nardi steering wheel
removed rear seat
Next up is a full roll cage

Body
Right now I have the fenders cut for the turbo flares but I got a wide body 2002 with fiberglass box fenders (this is the 75). Once it is painted I will switch everything from the 76 into it.
Wheels are 15x7 front and 15x8 rear.

Engine/transmission
5 speed from a 320is
SSK from Ardvarc racing
Dual Weber 45 DCOE's
11:1 compression
304 degree cam
dual valve springs

Exhuast
TEP header to straight pipe

Suspension
Koni adjustables
Intrax springs (2 inch drop)
Removed the front strut spacers
Front and reat strut braces

Misc
320 radiator
Rebuilt brake calipers
Took off the big bumpers
Low pressure electric fuel pump
tii distributor
Battery moved to trunk

I think thats about all but i might be forgetting a few things.

Here is a post from the faq site detailing the z4 install. I have done it on my 5 speed and it's great!

If I remember, it seemed like all the parts were in the $120 range. The shift lever was the biggest expense at $45.

where can ifind fuses

i got a webber 32/34 carb. you don't know where to find a performance manifold?

You can get fuse's at any auto store.

The most commonly used performance carb on a stock engine is a Weber 38/38, I'm not sure where you can buy a manifold for it but you can use the manifold from the 32/36 and just bore it out.

The BMW 2002 FAQ Store sells carbs and manifolds.

There aren't really any performance manifolds available for downdraft webers other than the cannon manifold which was basically a "hogged out" version of the stock "peanut" manifold. For a 32/36, a stock "peanut" manifold works well though. The "peanut" manifold differs from the other (older I think) 2 barrel downdraft manifold because the inlet is a single opening, shaped like a peanut where the instead of 2 individual holes. This picture shows the hogged out vs 2 inlet versions.

There is an entire article on the faq site concerning manifolds:

As far as fuses go, I had a horrible time finding any local and had to order mine. I walked into the local parts stores and got nothing more than blank stares when asking for a ceramic bullet fuse. That of course might be because I live in Oklahoma and there isn't much of a market for ceramic bullet fuses around here... ;-) All the reputable online shops have them however and they are cheap! Bav Auto (www.bavauto.com) carries them for $0.50 each. You can also catch them on ebay sold as an "replacement set".
