My 2002's resurrection - 56k go die

[boom-monkey]

You should have the cluster so the tachometer is in the middle. More baller that way.

Thanks very much Justin for the info. I remember when Dan started the second GB and everyone gave him shit because he may have made a little $$ on it. He didn't steal it. He worked for it.

very well done on the exhaust!!

I actually can't take credit for that down pipe. I bought it like that as a half completed exhaust from another 02er when he decided to turbo his m20 midway through the exhaust construction. But thanks anyway, I'll have to weld up everything from the down pipe back. Also, weld on an o2 sensor bung on the 2.5" section of the down pipe away from the body, then ceramic coat that to keep it from rusting since half of it is mild steel. Everything else is stainless.

Clay, you can believe I'll be callin' you time to time to see if you can come over and help out. Thanks :)

Lee, those are from the group buy COOP put together on the 2002FAQ a few years ago and caught a bunch of shit from. They can blame themselves for not having them available since they wouldn't let him organize something for the masses. As far as I am concerned for the effort that goes into that, I don't care if he gets any money, or any free parts. But that's water under the bridge. They may be able to contact the manufacturer that made them for the GB and start another or buy them one by one. I forget the vendor's name but I know they're from socal. I'm sure the info is in the archives on the forum, the issue was brought up several times. I have the fiberglass ones, the CF ones apparently turned out just slightly short due to the manufacturing process. As far as I know, the FG ones are okay.

Oh, and thanks e30s52. I hope so!

Hey Justin. A bunch of guys on 2002faq are looking for nice fiberglass hoods and trunks with the stock hinges. Where did you get them?

Small update-
In order to have an entirely accurate speedometer, simplicity of wiring (yeah right) and well, a couple extra gizmo's in the instrument cluster, I bought some Autometer gauges to create a new one all together. They arrived today. I'll try to use a scrap 02 cluster housing I have without gauges in it. I'll cut out the back side, adhere a flat piece of something to where it used to be with 3 hole cutouts, plus some drill holes for warning light LED's. They new gauges should just barely fit in top to bottom. I also had to deal with a problem that using one out of the e30's two fuel senders don't match up with what the gauge needs to read tank capacities. I'm pretty sure I've got it figured out though, and will be testing that functionality once I can get ahold of some electronics bits to build the circuit.

This is basically what it will look like, but they'll have a small space between them. They're holding themselves all upright in this picture-


Oh, and yes I know the speedo is reading a speed. The needle will move around when its not powered I guess. If I twist it in my hand it'll go to 120 :P Once it gets a signal it'll go back.

Blunt, yah I got the wheels from Brian. Good guy.

wheres my finders fee?:p

[backtrail69]

Those wheels will be TITS!

[318isbmw]

Wow, incredible setup. Keep up the good work. The body on that is a lot better than the body on my pickup which I've been resto-modding for past few years.

[Garageaholic]

Wow, keep us updated. great project!
