What did you do to your 2002 today !


Recommended Posts

Replaced the old 1 barrel Solex with a Weber 38/38.  I got the intake manifold from Patrick (Midnight Motorsport).  It was a good time to install a new radiator hose set from IE as well.  I got the modified early style air box from Peter at Coupe King.  Fit for the 38, and powdercoated (your choice of grey or black).

To my surprise, it practically tuned itself.  I started with each side mixture screw at 1 turn out, and both ended up at 3/4 out.  It idles perfectly, super throttle response.  

Just in time for the daily commute tomorrow!

I wiped down the old girl's original paint, vacuumed the interior, checked everything over, and took it to the annual McKee Gardens car show in Vero Beach, FL. I had been asked to represent BMW in an exhibit titled "The Best Cars From 40 Different Manufacturers." I was astonished at the number of people who, walking by the car, would say something like, "I used to have a 2002, and I really miss it! Why did we ever sell it??" It was a fun and worthwhile day.

Machine shop starting on custom fuel injected intake manifold for eventual Megasquirt conversion.

 

Chose fuel injectors and delivered to machine shop.  Still haven't decided on throttle body yet.

Today I went for a short drive up and down my street, testing out the electronic ignition. Seems to work well. After that, I attempted to address the tachometer... I found a post here about people using megasquirt with the stock tach and that one can simulate the high voltage flyback used to trigger a tach pulse by switching current through a relay coil using the ECM’s tach pulse. So I got a little creative and tore into a relay. I ripped out the switch, soldered a transistor and resistor across some of the connectors, and now I have a self-contained box that translates the speeduino tach signal to the stock gauge! I tested it and it works. (Plastic cover removed for pic)

What’s the mount like, will it fit a Tii with a spacer?

The bottom mount is 2.25" wide, no spacers needed on the e21 bracket. The tii is a top pivot as opposed to this bottom pivot mount so the offset top tab wouldn't make it easy. ( first 2 pics)

 

BUT, there does seem to be a similar alt with the top mount offset to right side on which case it would work for tii, I think it's for the Toyota T100 but uses a serpentine belt. If you can get the belt pully then it should work. (3rd Pic )

 

Also, the Suzuki Samurai/ Geo Metro have 12 and 6 o'clock mounts but you'd need to add spacers as they are only about 1" wide. (4th Pic)

Started restuffing the back seat today. Originally used 2" foam for the seat and seatback last year and it was too puffy even with the cover pulled very tight. Did not go back in without a big fight. Felt too cushy too. I'm using 1" foam now with batting and hoping the seat will fit in nicely.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
