    Looks fantastic. What did you use the staples for? I'm about to redo my cards too. M

    What size / offset?

    No 13", but I do have some 14" MSW wheels that are similar I would sell.

    Pictures not showing up for some reason? I get a "file not found" when I try to click on the image icons too.

    I had nearly the same idea. I was going to use 2 layers of 1/2" felt. But, now that I see your use of the canvas, that's obviously the way to go. The felt would probably end up shredded by the wire frame/springs without an underlayment. I think I'll forgo the coir. As you mention, not sure it adds much other than the “eau de ‘02” ?

    Sweet! I'm about to do the same. Can you post a video of the exhaust note (or just audio ? )? Which IE header did you go with? Any engine mods? M

    FYI, I get "Error establishing a database connection" when I try to go to http://www.bmw1602.com/ Mark

    I'm pretty sure I have one - it would be a "long" differential, correct? I haven't taken the cover off to count teeth, but it seems to spin about 3.91 just eyeballing. If you can't find anything local let me know and I can dig into it.

    Are the OEM manifolds Tii manifolds? In other words, will a Weber 40 DCOE fit a Tii intake? thx M

    How important is the water jacket for those of us in colder climes (Boston)? I guess it just takes a bit longer warmup without jacket? M

    Right - good catch. I put an upgraded charging system in the Triumph so no problem there - Except - it's positive earth (ground). I'll have to double check w/ Innovate to see if their system would have any issues. I would think that as long as there are no paths to ground through the actual Bosch sensor all should be good? Not so sure the scooter could provide 5A, maybe if I disconnect the always on headlamp. Will have to run a test. Thanks for the insights!

    I'm interested in front bumper bracket(s) if you are willing to part it out. thx

    The Honda scooter would actually be the easier of the two. The under-seat storage is cavernous! One of the side covers on the Triumph is a tool storage compartment. If I can manage to make a few runs on my "test track" without my tools (gulp) I think it could work.

    Can anyone recommend a decent portable AFR system? The only one I can find any mention of is the Innovate Motorsports (3837) LM-2 (BASIC) Digital Air/Fuel Ratio Wideband Meter incl. Bosch LSU 4.9, but it looks really ancient. I have my 2002, a 1970 Triumph motorcycle, a Honda scooter and who knows what else I'll acquire soon on which I'd like to be able to log AFR during various runs. I can't imagine that after my initial tuning I'll really look at a gauge all that often, hence my desire for a portable/temporary tailpipe mount system. Or, worse, I'd look at the gauge and notice I'm off by a smidge and spend way too much time worrying about it. Thanks in advance. Mark

    I used a sewing push pin. Fit nice and snug and it has the head that I can easily grab w/ pliers if I ever want to reverse. Can't say I noticed a huge difference.

    You're missing a 0 at the end of the VIN. ?

    Sign me up for that new Thread! I installed a 123 a few months ago and love it for my stock '73 with a 32/36 Weber. My curve is below. I picked up 3 nice Weber DCOE 40's (I know I only need two, but it's nice to have a spare!) and I'm dying to install them, but obviously need to redo cam and compression to get the most out of them.
  20. man_mark_7
    What cam / compression setup are you running with those Weber 40(?)'s? Looks beautiful. M

    Same reason I removed mine. I ended up going with carter electric. Works great.
  22. man_mark_7
    Definitely an easy to do thing that I should check more often.
  23. man_mark_7
    I am appalled, ashamed and embarrassed to state my findings: loose lug nuts on the left rear. Should have been the first thing I checked, but the car wasn't shimmying or anything of the sort. It also had a distinctly hard rubber feel to it. It must have been as the rim shifted from lug to lug that some of the shock was being taken up by the tire. At least Gertrude won't be off the road waiting for parts. Live & learn, with the focus on live. M

    Drove ~30 miles mostly highway driving to a 4th of July bash today. Car ran and sounded great. Drove ~28 miles home and car was perfect UNTIL: pulled off the highway and slowed down to about 30 mph. Started to hear and feel a thwap, thwap, thwap almost hard rubber on metal sound. As long as I was accelerating there was no noise. As soon as as I let off the throttle I would hear the sound again. I made it home the last couple miles by slowwwwly accelerating until I hit a bit over the speed limit, rapidly braking (while hearing the noise), then sloooowly accelerating up to speed again. It's past 11 pm here so I will put the car up on stands in the morning and report what I find. I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone's guess is? I'm thinking guibo or u-joint? M

    Found in a box of parts that came w/ my '73. I think it's actually for a RHD car. The cluster is the width of the top of the console, but it would angle the gauges to the right side of the car. Has a few nicks down to the fiberglass that show up as white dots. Could use a dusting with some spray paint (or a few taps with a Sharpie?) before install. +15 plus shipping OR totally FREE if you come to pick it up in your '02.
