introduction New '02 Owner

[uber wagon]

Hello 2002FAQ!

 

I just joined the forums and wanted to introduce myself.  After driving and tuning Subarus for the last 10 years, I decided I wanted something 'cooler'. 

 

After a ton of research, I drove (and purchased) my first 2002 this weekend!  It is a super clean 1970 2002 with an S14 swap from Phil C. here in Colorado (I believe he goes by uxoman on the forums.)

 

I am very excited to learn more about these great little cars!

Good choice.

At a good price. I didn't think it would last long on the market for what he was asking.

Ive read about that car..........

 

is the former owner like a bomb expert or something?....his build was spotless....and i recall his career was kinda unusual cool.

One thing is for certain, 99% of the 02 owners will be jealous of your car! I know I am.

Not bad for a red car

 

 

Seriously, very nice and well-bought! Welcome to the club!

 

(and I do like verona)

 

Cheers,

Phil is a project guy.  I visited his garage when the conversion was in progress. I imagine his on to another something.

NICE !!!!

 

jrkoupe, "uxo" in military-speak means Unexploded Ordnance.

 

Cheers,

That was fast.

Thanks all.  Yeah, Phil is in the unexploded ordinance disposal business, and since he has all his limbs and fingers I reckon he is pretty good at it!

 

I've started some minor tinkering (fixing some rattles, cleaning up wiring, etc.), but I am sure I will be asking lots of questions here as I start tackling some more ambitious items (like how to fix the odometer on a metric gauge cluster!)

Repairing the odometer is pretty easy...find "Odometergears.com" on the internet.  They have all the stuff you need to get your odometer working correctly again--both parts and help.  Not a difficult job, just precise.

 

Nice car, btw--and welcome to the fraternity/sorority

 

cheers
