Anybody has a spare they are interested in selling

Oh yeah, when I rebuild the head they look like stock 9:1 piano tops. This is all new territory for me, so thank you for your patience.

Ok, it seems I lost the mapping for Lola since I did not ran the engine during my protracted repair. Since i I have a different engine configuration than what the 123i guys may have set up, I do know that the one (stock mapping) loaded originally leaves my 02 stumbling below 2.8k to 3k rpm, but just takes off like a scalded monkey over that. So I would like to get some input as to what maps everyone is using with the following: Dual Webber 45s Schrick 292 cam MSD 6A 123i Bluetooth 9mm BAV plug wires Bosch plugs - stock 5speed - if that is an issue 3.64 LSD- if that is an issue If I can get the stock map loaded (never done that before) the tweak or add with your inputs from your experiences I would greatly appreciate. Want to to start driving her ASAP. TIA, Justin

Bluetooth 123 version, plenty of gas and has good battery (why the 123 should not have power during that time?) If it needed to be remapped, would the file on my phone reset it while the ignition activate the search to the phone? H & C Justin

Had to correct some issues on Lola after some shakedown runs, now she won't fire up. Engine was running fine before the work, but she just turns over and that's it. Plenty of gas and electric pump is working. Have dual Webbers, and 123ignition but not touched a thing, would I need to let the pump prime again as such a long sit? Hazed and Confused. Justin

Well it turns out that I did not have wheel bearing failure but that the the lug bolts (threaded) backed out after I lots some lug nuts. (I have 320 hubs that had threaded holes) Since I am using BBS wheels, is there a special lug nut that properly seats into the lug opening? TIA!! Justin

So last month my right front hub bearings gave out which will necessitate new set. I have never replace these before especially the big brake kit. Apart from drowning the new bearing with lithium grease (Mobil). What are the steps in removing the old bearings and installing new ones? Will they require a hydraulic press or any other specialty tools? Is there a sequence on order or part install? Any guidance would be appreciated. Justin

Hey y'all, As the title says, need one that the 2002 AD version failed. One of the main pins works its way loose and it keeps popping off the clips and detaching from the shift lever. Any help on a solution would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Justin

Got the worn center link off but installing the new one is a bear, and I am afraid of tightening the castle nut any further that could cause damage. Looking for any tricks to help speed installation. Thanks!! Justin

So the back tab suppose to show then? Here is a pic. Justin

Got my reconditioned console from Denver 02. I figured how it attaches from the front but was looking as to how to secure the rear portion to the tunnel. I notice that there is a little metal attached to the rear retainer that 1) secures it from the outside (noticeable) or secures but it from the inside of the console (how ones is going to attach it that way would require small hands to attach through the shifter opening? Or am I missing something? Has anyone done this reattachment? TIA as always. Justin

It has been a while since I have heard of something like this, but is there any interests to have a greater Texas 02 group meet this fall like in Fredericksburg? If not enough interests what about opening to the greater German car group (MB, Audi, VW and yes even Porsche). Thoughts? Justin

PM when you get a chance, got some things in the works for Lola this weekend.

BUMP!!

Decided to bite the bullet and get their rear adjustable spring perches. Been about a week with no update so I called them asking for a tracking number, got a Spicoli who apparently finally graduated from Ridgemont High School, saying that they haven't even shipped yet, and were waiting on the springs from their supplier. So I asked him how much for just the perches (since I already had some Eibachs) and said it's the same price, why not a lower price for less parts? Said just deal with it. I then ask when will I expect delivery, his reply was you'll get them when you get them. Nice. Anyone else been blessed with such award winning service? Justin
