What did you do to your 2002 today !

[tech71]

Not much happening on the 02 front right now.

Survivor is snug in garage and its project engine is delayed waiting on parts, and waiting and waiting ?

Had hoped to be further along by now but oh well.

I did remove the worn crank timing chain sprocket today.  No puller I own would budge it so I cut a slot and hit/spread it with a chisel ala TobyB.

It slid right off.?

Long overdue cleanup of my engine bay, more to do but refitted my original airbox, I quite like the sound they make at WOT, new plug leads & new battery to be fitted, not moving my battery now as my tray unbolts in all of 5 mins, it only needs to come out for the few times a year I’m in there. It’s not that bad and I’ve decided it looks kinda normal there to me now.

Before + After

Installed this wacky Abarth steering wheel because why the hell not? I like weird stuff

 

 

Also popped the top of the 32/36 off to install a new power valve, and then discovered that the secondary enrichment port wasn't plugged. Pops put a gasket in there, and then I recorded the jets I have in there, which seem way off from CD's prescription. This carb was rebuilt by a shop a while back before I was driving it regularly. It runs great, maybe just uses a little more fuel than I like. Hoping someone can provide some insight into these #s:

 

Idle Jets: 65/50

Air correctors: 170/165

mains: 150/155

Looking great. That yellowed washerbottle just needs to go now and be replaced by a new fresh one

Lol, yes, it leaks as well.  I’m sitting here looking at the new one from Jaymic, will be in this week!

just contemplating crinkle coat for the rocker cover or cleaned up standard one.

Good eye Ray, fixed camber plates, that and the full suspension upgrade a couple of years ago transformed the car.

Finally got the Cromodora's installed with some BMW center caps I put together....still waiting on the Cromodora center caps from Italy, but I kinda like the BMW caps.  Transformed the car and I love the look.

Hi all, today I struggle to install my renew 5 speed gearbox on the engine which is in the car... I could not align the gearbox correctly.
So after reading all the tips I found after a search on this forum, I found a helpfull page with many  valuable infos...all seems ok on my side, so I'll give it another try probably Tuesday. Just one detail I didn't find: do we have to slightly tilt the engine on its rubber support or not?

Thanks and Merry Xmas everyone!

Took it for a drive Thur the Texas hill country this afternoon,  up to 1500 miles on rebuild 72tii...

[cdbeemin]

Now that the car is in for paint, working on other priorities- cleaned the gas tank and gas lines, brake lines, fuel sender and in tank fuel filter. Also, felt the creativity bug. Since there won’t be any smoking in the car, I converted the rear ashtrays to tweeter housings. Came out pretty nice.

Barney, how fast did you have to be going to cover 1500 miles in an afternoon?

For real, though, what's up with that wheel?  What's the going straight orientation?

 

I'm with you on weird crap- and that wheel is definitely there...
