What did you do to your 2002 today !

[Mike G]

Replaced the fuel tank, old one was getting a little rough around the edges. Converted to an in tank pump while I was in there, just waiting on the electrical connector to show up.

would it be acceptable to clean and squish grease into these bearings at the top of the strut?

 

 

FCP Euro or ECS Tuning has Meyle ones for under $30. Buy two and get free shipping.

Love that flip top gas cap. How's the base plate attached to the fender? I assume that's how the whole thing is stabilized?

If you buy a new one, most are only selling the long stud version. If you removed your strut spacers, you can either purchase new shorter studs or cut the long ones shorter and clean them up to avoid have super long studs sticking up.

it goes under the trunk lip and is riveted in place. The trunk seal hides the rivets.

I wasn't sure if I liked the steering wheel...after a few days it grew on me!

Cool, what pump did you use...  Are you using a return and a regulator?

When your 30mm socket is too fat, you spend an hour modifying it, just zip the nut off in 1/2 a second…

You have a custom tool now but for anyone else approaching this gear wrench makes a 30mm socket with thin enough walls to fit in there. See photo for comparison.

Sourced a 74tii intake to swap into my 72tii. 
Don’t judge lol. 
Cleaned them up and painted the runners so it would appear period correct. Waiting on new gaskets.

So glad to see these cars driven after finished.  These were made to be driven and driven everyday.

 

Cheers,

This showed up today on my front porch.  New air filter setup for my 40 DCOE Webers.

My old filters were getting tired and started looking at my options. I found this made by Tim

at TimJason Performance.  We talked a few weeks back and I'm excited to get this installed in the near future.
