Koblenz

Drove her to school to pick up end of year items. Saw the School Resource Officer's cruiser. Could not resist.

Chris B, I am not using Thackary washers.  I cleaned and inspected the carbs again yesterday,  Ran it until at operating temperature. No leaks?  Starnge!  

Thanks guys! 

Yep.  I have soft mounts.  I will look closer at the top gasket. The small cover on the bottom seems to be dry.  Top gasket is dry. Carb throats are dry. 

Time to jump back in! 

I did the search.  Did not see anything.  After a short drive I have a slow fuel under the carb.  I don't see any fuel leakage on the top that could be a gravity fed source. Really not sure how to proceed for repairs or diagnosis. 

I don't know if I posted the pic.  Still work to do.  I have the driver side mirror but waiting to replace the window regulators.  That is not a summer job. 

I have all but run out of 02 surplus parts to sell.  Seems as though finding them is harder as well.

Got off my ass and started it.  Made a promise to shrug life's routine and start driving again. I have let too much stand in the way.

Robbie P.  No problem.  Thanks for the reply. 

I do not know if Robbie P is interested but, if he is not they will be available.  $225.00 for the four. Does not include shipping.   Less than 2000 miles on the set. 

Robbie P,  Are you interested in these? 

Robbie P,

Here you go.

front P30 0025H1

rear F4B46 0118 H1

Robbie P.  I am just getting home and will send numbers as soon as I get them.

They are B8s.  I will get numbers for you tomorrow. 

I believe B8.  I will check on them.  One of the guys I drive with has them.  We are in central Florida.

GOT IT!!!!

5 speed install

Test drove the 5 speed!

Got the 5 speed sorted.

Good morning guys.  It's not mine.  Guy was trying to sell it.  I will keep you posted.

Thanks. I would do $40.00. 

I was offered a NIB 2002 commemorative key chain.  Was told make an offer. No idea.  Any input is appreciated.

Hello,

I've just recently bought an 2002 that needs a little tlc.  I'm looking for a 5 spd transmission, lsd and e21 Recaros.  I'll also be needing a replacement spare tire well.  I'm open to something a little later that would be deeper as well as using a 2002 well. I'll be adding more things to my wish list as I get a little deeper into things.  I'm in Melbourne but willing to drive within FL for pick up.

 

Thanks,

Jon

Jon,

I will keep and eye out for you.  In Orlando.

Not directly 02 related but thought I would see if anyone here wants or needs before I throw it to the masses.

Badge was made by J. R, Gaunt in England.  badge in 9/10 condition and shows some aging on enamel but no pitting.  I have seen these go for $300.+

Offered here for $225.00 includes shipping.  I believe this is a fair price.  Please OBO if you don't.  Thanks

Right on koblenz ! Does look darn near the same... (Playing the game of "spot the differences" right now) looks great on your car...is yours steel or alloy? I made my first couple dozen out of steel and switched to alloy because they tend to be easier for people to install...(& don't rust when people don't get around to painting them)  

Thank you.  Steel.  We had thought FG but the mastermind moved back to Germany.  I do have to remove to have the car towed.  But that is a quick fix.  I like the alloy you are producing.
