is the thermal reactor the thing above the exhaust manifold? I was wondering what the fuck that thing was..
Yes - and they have a tendency to crack. The air pump adds fresh oxygen into the thermal reactor to give any unburned fuel an opportiunity to burn off. I don't know way too much about cali law - but all of these thigs must be present and opperational for your car to pass smog. You'll need the charcoal cannister as well. I do know that for 76s these ars are extremely affordable in california.
If you want it to pass legitimately, you can't remove all of the relays and emissions crap like you'd do on a 74.

nice pickup! I made the switch to an '02 as well and am loving every minute of it. Slow as balls, but it puts a smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel
Damn, having to smog it will suck majorly but it looks good regardless. There are a few good threads on bmw2002faq about smog stuff, I have 1 bookmarked that I will link. Where abouts in CA are you?
here, there, and everywhere.
im in LA now, sacramento area over the summer, then not sure where after that.
supposedly the car passed smog 3 months ago with no EGR. ive got the new EGR and will have it running better tommorow hopefully. its in amazing shape mechanically, so i dont see it being too hard.
Got an MR2.. But it was fucking gay so I sold it. The rear subframe tore out the red e30 and ruined the chassis, so sold that too.
I did graduate.
The 02 will be built up into a trackday car. At this point the plan is to build the M10 to ~180 HP but I may just decide to go all out and run race fuel and higher compression. Or if I somehow came across a cheap s14..
runs like shit atm though.. hence me driving a honda right now. I'll likely end up somewhere up here or in the bay, so I'll see you guys soon enough..
