Euro 2002tii

[01330i]

That's so funny that you bought this car man. I knew the owner of the car as he lives/lived in Roseville. He offered me the car but I said no since I was going to jail and thought I was done with cars for a while. he would always romp around town in it but then it disappeared and I never saw it again. Good luck with this car man, it's going to need it.

Yeah it was sitting for about a year he said. He was going to restore it himself but just never got to it and lost interest.

What color should I go with when the time comes? should I do go back to the original golf yellow? I want something that will make the fender flares pop.

Nice another local 2002.

it's a color that was briefly available on E36's, it's absolutely gorgeous, I've never seen an 02 anywhere even NEAR this color.

I love the lines on it and clean interior!

That interior (the seats) is gorgeous.

What motor might you put in that? Rebuild the one that's in it?

Yeah I'm definitely gonna keep the original motor. I want to go with a nice beefy na build on it, i don't want too much power cause it doesn't really need it. this car can be fun with 100 hp. It is pre smog so I can pretty much do whatever

02's are becoming rare. Let alone 2002. Let alone 2002tii's. What kind of question is that? There are a lot of less rare car to throw that random six pot turbo in to. This car , brought in to original condition is worth $$.

Well it already has 30 more than that . :)
If had an original Tii (sigh...) I'd set my goal to restoring it without any short cuts , no other alternative. And mayde tickle the engine to give just a bit more. I have one of those engines , and managed to get total ~2kg off the flywheel/clutch assembly. The flywheel is steel so it's safe to have it lightened, plus I replaced the original seriously heavy pressure plate with a newer type (meant for an M20 but bolts right on, both old M10 and M20s have 228mm clutch).

Looks like there's some work to do with the body? Rust here and there, from the pics it looks like the side skirts need some welding?

I asked him if he was rebuilding that motor. He might have thought to put an s14 in it. Who knows? It wasn't that crazy of a question. What does "02' becoming rare. Let alone 2002" mean? Isn't an '02 and a 2002 the same thing?

:???:

Nno..
For example , A BMW 1502 is much more easy to find than an original 2002. Let alone a Ti or Tii.

AC Schnitzer styled, matte finish up to with nice paint below the belt line.

Spray it in the original Golf and you won't be dissapointed. Looks like a nice find, a lot of elbow grease and you'v got yourself a nice little 02.

Will be tricky with the Tii injection system depending on your definition of a "nice beefy NA build". The injection system can get expensive if the pump needs rebuilding or if your injectors are on the fritz. You're probably already aware of the potential hazards if you've been reading up, which it seems like you have been.

In the states it's not quite that way.
