What did you do to your 2002 today !

[tomphot]

Once again......While your in there.

Putting Koni’s in the front struts turned into a complete front end suspension overhaul (as long as I have a lot of time on my hands during these times).  Everything is out and will be going for powder coating tomorrow.  Blunt has sent the replacement parts.  I didn’t want to drop the engine and this hoist kit has worked fantastic to leave it in - a few minutes and a couple turns of the screws and it’s secure.

Drove it for the first time. 
Still some stuff to do pulling front fenders, modding the distributor advance curve, jetting etc. but it feels good and is quite responsive.

That will take a while because this will hapen when I am on the dyno* to see whether I will go 29, 30, 31 or 32 btdc.

But nothing different from your approach just bending stuff to make it advance later and not so much in total.

*dyno is currently not availabe due to corona

may I ask which model of distributor you are using?

1970 2002(ti wannabe) Project 

     New rear flex brake lines (old ones were constipated), new brake reservoir, new brake light switch, and a good enema for all the lines.  Firm pedal now. 

     Celebrated with Simpler Times Pilsner.  This beer is a sad excuse for beer of any style.  Drinking it is like making love in a canoe:  it's f@#%ing next to water.

Replaced my speedometer cable.

Since I started driving the car a year ago, the speedometer hasn't functioned.

I sent the speedo itself to Buz at Seattle Speedometer over the winter, and I replaced my cable today.

The speedo and odo all worked great, reading roughly 2 mph faster than the GPS speedo in my phone.

Hooray!!!

Out with the old. In the middle of replacing my car's original differential. It made no weird noises or sounds. As far as I could tell the only problem was it leaked from the input side. I'm not sure if I should change all seals and bearings or only the seals.  I will use this refurbished temporary one for now until I decide how to proceed with my original one.

Wow, that is a thing of beauty, Uli!! 

 

What a crazy coincidence, I just cleaned and reassembled one of those last night. 

 

 

I had been thinking it was silly for me to ask you that question and now I am really glad I did.

 

Thank you for sharing.

I don't remember the details but back in the 90s my 008 distributor went missing from a shop and they replaced it with this one.  It ran in my tii for at least 10 years.  Later I had it restored by Advanced Distributors before selling it and putting the proper 008 back into my car.
