  1. Never use WD40 on any project unless you’re tasked to work around the house and you find that the barn door hinges are little squeaky. WD40 will not dissolve dried out grease. I have tried other purpose made products and none worked even acetone. The above article was the best way to restore this mechanism for me.
  2. you sure she didn’t make it out of something you used to wear?
  3. I’m ordering new indoor cover and the shop doesn’t know the correct size for the 02. They only have the template for e21. Does anyone know if the e21 is close enough or any other car that’s close to euro 02? They’re in different state so can’t drive there. Thanks
  4. What’s the difference between the 710 & 810? How many watts? Thanks
  5. Looking for the speedo gear in good condition for Getrag 235/5. Not sure if the speedo gear on my 245 is compatible.
  6. I’m running the flat top 8:3:1 and loving it. Vrooooooooom, tutututu 😁
  7. they do 911 pumps too. Also build race motors. Here is a link to their fb page kugelfischer.nl WWW.FACEBOOK.COM kugelfischer.nl. 165 次赞 · 4 人在谈论. Ruiter Motoren Techniek and Saxon Parts have joined forces in 2020 to...
  8. Thanks Steve, I was looking into sending it to kugelfischer.nl but I haven’t seen any reviews about them yet. They seem to know what they’re doing. so since my tii is euro spec and pump is going to be completely rebuilt for performance, any model pump is ok as base donor or would you recommend a specific model? Cheers
  9. Could one of you gents tell me if there’s a difference in timing or performance between tii injector pumps from 71-75? I’m trying to source a spare pump to send to specialist to be rebuilt to match the performance upgrades that I’ll be planning and want to know which pump to use as a base. My motor is 73 tii (roundie). Here is the pump I’m looking to buy:
  10. I hand turned some shift knobs with burl wood from over 1000 years old trees. I made custom brass and rose gold badges to complement them. I made these for myself but sold some to faq members. I’m not making these anymore but maybe this would inspire you to make your own.
  11. Installed the custom 02 rear panel badges. These are not the large e9 badges and made in proportion to 02 body size and need not drilling. Came out great.
  12. I know these guys. They’re ok with new BMW’s or general mechanical but had no idea about turbo m30 motor. He said he won’t touch classics. But yes, a nice guy. Andrew from AMC rescued my M535i after Brintech ruined it. motorretro I’ve heard of but never had dealing with. I’ll give them a call after Easter thanks.
  13. Do you know any shop in Sydney that knows great deal about 2002's and restoration?
  14. Ok, I have already used an alternative m10 to build a performance 02 using the same Tii chassis. I’ve decided to pull the matching motor out of storage and give it a naturally aspirated performance upgrade. My first choice was to do what everyone said here, to keep everything original but here in Australia, there’s no one who know about these cars. They claim to know but I experienced differently when building my e28. I found a shop in Holland to upgrade and rebuild the pump and he’s asking over $7k USD. Just doesn’t make sense. I’d prefer instead of just rebuilding the pump, also have it upgraded for better performance but as discussed, no resources here. That’s is why I’m looking into EFI but I’d consider the oem pump if I find a shop that could do the performance upgrade (for the pump) at a reasonable cost.
  15. Haha no more space. I currently have a turbo m10 in my 73 tii but plan was to have the original motor sitting on a stand and rebuild slowly as a side project. If I ditch the mechanical pump, I’d still keep it until I can find parts for it like the white plastic injector hoses. Someone did a repro on those while ago and I miss out on it.
  16. I had a look at the kit that Rama sells (he tuned my e28 m535i turbo by the way) and I think the Jenvey is more promising. I’ve currently got a 30psi turbo m10 under the hood and the original tii motors is on shelves.
  17. I shall remove the oem intake manifold and mechanical injection setup and install individual throttle bodies or keep the original throttle body and run an aftermarket ecu to manage the setup. The oem mechanical pump is too old and limited to power increase unless you have it upgraded by one of those Illuminati shops in Holland which is going to cost a lot of money. If you know a shop that can rebuild and upgrade my tii mechanical pump for a reasonable cost then I’m all for keeping the look. I also need new injector hoses which I can’t find.
  18. Has anyone done the EFI upgrade to the Tii incorporating ITB's and if so, can I have some engine shots for encouragement please? As much as I love to keep everything oem, I like to rebuild my original motor with upgraded cam EFI. Cheers
  19. when I go to my club track days, Miata (we call them MX5 here mate) owners beg me to find the bmw 245 overdrive. Using Miata gearbox is going backwards. Who told you the 235/5 is too weak? What’s your output power so I can recommend.
  20. Just realised something. I’ve been reading the numbers as xxxx / (dash) 5 but this “/“ is not a dash, it’s number 1 and it’s either changing clock or counter clockwise with each casting. In my photo, it’s sitting on 4 O’clock and in your photo it’s not 3009-5 it’s 3009 (1 sitting at 9 o’clock) 5. Mind blown ?
  21. both a) and b) would be nice to know
