history and reference Keep The Tech Write-Ups Coming!!!

[foreste2002]

I just want to thank the writers of the recent tech articles and "how to's".  

After owning a 2002 since 1981, and seeing the focus on the forum's go from "faster" and "modify" in years past to a refreshing more "purist" attitude today.

Please keep the great articles coming!!!

 

Thank you for a great forum!

Faster and Modify are good for the hobby.  As long as no one is trying to make the car LOOK like an e21 or e30.  Which is what seemed to be the case in the 80's and 90's.  Personally, I try not to cross that line. Sticking to only period correct-ish things to do to my car. If someone couldn't buy it in 1980 or earlier, avoid it.  but that's just me. 

Although, some of my less visible projects are certainly modern.

My philosophy has been to make modifications that can easily be reversed without leaving scars (additonal gauges, smaller steering wheel etc), and/or invisible (or nearly so) improvements--lowering springs, bigger sway bars, wider wheels, performance shocks, Weber carb under a stock air cleaner, hotter cam etc).  Keeps the car looking original but improving convenience, performance etc.

 

It's always worked for me, and I'm a bit of a purist.

LOL! that is probably the first time this "how to" article author has ever been associated with being a "purist"....

I shall now return to modifying my car to make it faster!

PS- your welcome! happy to contribute to the madness.

Trust me...I've done my share of mods and "go faster" to many 2002's.  I think as I get older and the cars appreciate I am becoming more pure.....I can't even kill spiders.
