Aw, don't give up on the original!

You can fix it.  They do get deformed, but just need a little coaxing back into shape.

 

Are the splines on the shaft still in good shape?

Cheers Simeon, Hi Stig I do have an upgraded throttle arm that will not slip , it's on here .

 

Hey Gents,

 

Mintgrun you're spot on with the splines, I'm guessing when I cleaned up the pedal box (2 years ago now) I was a little too aggressive removing corrosion from the spline area. I used two high tensile bolts to clamp the piece and torqued them to no avail. The lever is too far gone after that.

 

LimeySteve those levers are NLA so you are the only shop in town! I brought the car to an exhaust shop to weld in the 02 Sensor and had them put a tack weld on the joint while they were under there. Whenever I get around to fine-tuning my throttle cable setup I'll be sending you a message for one of those pieces. They look nice! Don't have patience for USPS these days .

 

Car runs awesome with the 02 Sensor and EGO Adjustment on! Still more tuning to go and I need to give the TPS Sensor another go, currently just using MAP for acceleration enrichment. I tried two different TPS sensors (all for a Nissan 300zx like 02again advises) with different results and none perfect. At the stage of the build it will be a Winter project for 2018. Really fun to drive! Taking it on the first 100 mile trip tomorrow (with lots of tools and fluids of course )

We went on the annual Turkey Run to Squamish,BC. Our Canadian Thanksgiving Day. 150+ old cars of all makes, the green '53 Ford was a show stopper, complete with turkey mascot, Took the Gondola up top for coffee and a walk. Great day. Longest run in years for the Agave '02. Five speed conversion makes it a different car to old 4 sp. version.

Nice turnout. Looks like a fun event and not too far north. Might have to remember this next year and burn a vacation day.

I didn't see another '02 there this year... so yeh, mark your calendars. If the weather cooperates it's a good way to blow the cobwebs off the old car :-)

Took Brunhilde out for a cool evening rip in the hills, probably the hardest I've pushed it since the rebuild and she performed excellent.

 

Still rich down low and up high (mid 12's) but in the midrange it's edging up on 13.8-14.2 before it gets rich on the air correctors at WOT.

 

Can't tell ya how anxiety inducing it is to drive a motor you built from scratch hard... terrifying. But she's holding together well so far!

Drove it to work today and yesterday for the first time since Spring.

 

Sorry for the crappy lighting. Got a pretty good parking spot.

Adjusted the valves to .08" - most were a bit tight at 0.06" and changed the oil and filter. I may revisit the valves since I'm hearing more tapping that I'm use to.

Real progress today from this...to this...

Won " Best of Show" at todays Utah BMW CCA event. It was a surprise as the earlier award was second place in "Vintage" class.

Congratulations Whaledriver on your winnings!
