2002tii Euro Pics

[saaron]

Finally got around to going through Eurotrash's tutorial on posting pics.

Here are some pics of my tii - it is Euro version. I'm trying to highlight some of the parts/pieces that are different vs. US. Most of you know all of these things already, but it is raining here in the Grand Midwest, so I'm just doing this for the heck of it.

Here's the car...

Button on the floor that activates the seek function on the radio. Change stations while keeping your eyes on the road.

The H4 headlights.

Cool floor mats.

Obligatory flat turn signal shot...

Wiper arms are chrome - someone told me US cars were more of a satin finish.

Ignition parts.

Steering wheel (obvious).

Rear of the car. You can see the license plate holder is different, and the plate lights are in the bumper vs. next to the plate. Nowadays just about every squarie has this arrangement...

Some sort of block heater plug, I think.

Nice car! I dig the seek button on the floor.

FYI: you can post multiple images in the same post.

In the picture of your ignition parts, note two things Euro:

1. Absence of the starter by-pass relay on the firewall

2. Ground from the valve cover to the body.

3. Does yours have a ground on the front of the hood to the body?

On the dash:

1. No dash lettering, knobs have pictures on them

Now, the interesting things are the stickers, those that are unique to Euro cars and those that are not on US cars. Do you have those shots?

Thanks for the tip, ClayW. Per Bill Williams...

Pics on the knobs:

The hood ground that was mentioned:

Only surviving original sticker. I had the car repainted in '91 or so. I bought new stickers and put them where they were supposed to go (at least the best thinking at the time). Of course at the time I didn't know they were unique to euro cars. Oh well.
