What did you do to your 2002 today !

A little love for my ignition switch…. existing face was a mess!  Sourced better lock, swapped wafers out to keep same key, and threw in a NOS electrical switch while it was all apart.  ?

Before you put the door card back on I would stick some of that Dynamat on the inside of of the outer door skin.

but wouldn’t that detract from the beautiful sound of the original noise

During tear-down of an M10 race engine built over in the UK, I uncovered a bit of ugliness on the camshaft flange:

 

(I then visualized the moment (and how) the damage occurred - force!) -KB

Yes! Definitely I’ve been waiting for some Por 15 to arrive to address some rust due to some wild and stupid sandblasting. I’ve got some strips slated for there. Been wondering if some ensolite might help in there too. 
 

However, it’s true, I didn’t think about how it would affect the original noise ?? I’ll be sure to take it easy. 
 

i don’t plan on selling, but original is original, don’t want to mess that up toooo much ?

Out and about in the Baur today, sunny and 67 here today…had the Baur up on new shop addition foundation this morning sizing up lift layout. Tour around part of  Lake Travis and then home.

got rear ended. Jon at Fenders & Fins is working on the repairs and Hagerty is ponying up the costs.  Fortunately the hit occurred directly in the middle of the frame rails (and below trunk lid) and resulted in no structural damage to the car.  Simple bang out rear, paint and replace all lights...

That just sux...person behind you looking at his/her phone maybe??  ?

ill post here first! So In the middle of my fender flare/air dam install I bought from Ireland Engineering.

The back flares and are ready to be cut and welded however the fronts meeting with the air dam is totally throwing me off... 

I watched the video on YouTube that everyone posts about which is all well great but those are not I.E. Flares and are not cut like his..... I.E. says the flare goes behind the air dam SO I am missing something and or doing it wrong. 

 

Can anyone that installed IE flares help!

 

 

[AceAndrew]

No.... IE doesn't say that for fitment with the turbo airdam.   As you now see, tucking behind the turbo airdam looks odd.  Here's a quote lifted from their listing for fitting the flares with the turbo airdam.

 

"-When fitting with Turbo Airdam: Trim the flares to butt up against the airdam."

 

Therefore, take a sharpie or scribe.  Mark where the airdam hits the flare and trim the flare to sit flush on top.

 

Pretty color BTY.

Drove "the box" around today and pushed it a little thru the winding back roads. Lots of fun.

Hoping to do a couple of vintage autocross (HSC class I think) this summer.

It's a blast. It's amazing how much of an adrenaline rush you can get in 45-60sec run. Not to mention how to really handle and push your car (if you want to).

I have run my e39 touring, e46's and my e30 in various classes over the last 6 years. This will be the first time running vintage class. Looking forward to it.

I know, I've autoX'd off and on since the 80's!  Most recently in my (now sold to get a 2002) Mazda Miata.  Slowing down in my old age though LOL.
