engine and drivetrain Whats happening to YOUR 02 this weekend?

i'm tackling the rear trailing arm rebuilds. got the old bushings out and the new ones in. i thought i had everything set for the axle bearing work but realized that all my backing plates are 320i versions and NOT 2002 version. don't have an 02 set that's painted and ready to go for this car that i want to keep stock, minimal upgrades. dang.

i'm tearing down the next set in preparation for the next car.

Put some new plugs in and started playing with the MS tuning, got it to start like butter at any temp.

Had my buddy drive while I did some on the road tuning and the damn fuel pump froze up about 1/2 mile from the shop. Guess I'll be hitting the junk yard for a pump Sunday. My duece is almost ready for her first try on small trips.

That igloo looks like one of the buildings where snow plowing and salting equipment is stored in colder parts of our world.

instrument cluster, one that has a working odometer. If I can make the CRX heater valve work I'll install it and install my replacement heater box with working fan.

The other day I found out why my heater box was blowing in so much hot air last summer, the valve was stuck open. What engineer thought it would be a good idea to make the heater valve pivot piece out of plastic?

Still waiting on new tii MC.

Rally prep work for the Alpine 500!

Did the mundane stuff like checking all the hoses and belts and clamps and plugs and cap and rotor and coolant and battery and...

I got my replacement rear foglight from Susquehanna Motorsports. (I crunched the last one on the Shamrock.) This one got mounted ABOVE the bumper.

I also got to install the H4s and wire in a set of relays and fuses.

ie go for a nice refreshing drive.

Of all the responses, this makes me the most jealous! I spent 20+ hours working on my brothers civic (bodywork), and my 02 didn't get much done. Head is on, engine is pretty much ready to go in after I swap out the steering box.

As to your other post, yah, its a big freakin dome. I don't know what it used to be used for. The insulation is actually some kind of mulched newspaper concoction with some 'anti-fire' stuff added to it, and sprayed on the walls. The place looks ridiculously funny from outside, I have never seen anything else like it. I'll have to take an outside pic..

Looks like a lot of 02 work was done this weekend, good to see!
