Dear Santa...

[LindrelT]

So what are you asking Santa to bring for your 2002??  Merry Christmas!!

 

 

[1936spyder]

I exhausted all my wishes already this year regarding my tii…?

[RoccoGilroy]

I asked my wife for time… 2 kids, 5 and 2… Time is the enemy. I’m a teacher so I have a lot of vacation time and weekends but my kids and wife have all the same time off. And my daughter doesn’t sleep… like, at all. 
 

Dear Santa… Please fix it so I can dedicate 2 weeks of time to change the brake hardlines lines, new pedal box, install the new JBR aluminum Flywheel, sachs clutch kit, 5 speed, and exhaust… (stahl header and ansa sport exhaust…) 

 

And since I’m asking, maybe a week to drop the rear end and replace all the suspension bushings and seals in then diff etc…

 

So ya, dear Santa… I need 3 weeks. ?

It would be awesome if Santa sent some elves to reinforce my crappy garage floor so I can get the lift in faster. Oh, and a set of epoxy floor anchors please?

Been a very good boy?

Maybe he could send some elves to come install the aluminum radiator he sent me last year.

HAHAHA!!!! 

 

I feel your pain. Time is the thing I always ask for and never seem to receive. I have 4 Kids (ages 11, 8, 5, 2) and time is very limited. I completed my 5 speed swap this past spring and it required several late nights working in the garage after the kids fell asleep. 

 

I want time as well... time to button up several of the smaller projects I have, and time to install my big brake kit and rear disc conversion. And of course time to enjoy driving the car!  

 

I will be interested to hear your thoughts about the Aluminum flywheel. I went with a lightened steel flywheel when I swapped in my five speed but in hindsight I wish I had installed an aluminum flywheel. 

 

Happy Holidays!

I have a collection of stuff to install hopefully over the winter.

Had the Recaros for two years, posted this pic before.

But hoping Santa brings a rear spoiler and Speedhut gauges

I ask for a Schnitzer rally motor with a c/r ZF 5 speed.

While time would be great, I have to say I've been overly fortunate in the 02 department this past (and previous) years. Just hoping to make some progress with my herd so that I can do them justice.

It’s a long story. I had one in the last car, and it was awesome! It just got to the sweet spot of the power band so much faster and was lots of fun! Can’t say that a lightens steel jobby would be any different as I have never driven one to compare. 
 

The reason for going aluminum on this project was completely different. It had a 200mm 1600 old style spring clutch, disc, and flywheel. On a 2.0L motor… Oh did I mention that it’s a 6 bolt crank??? JOY!!! All of the solutions I found to make the existing 6 bolt flywheel work with the new style diaphragm 228mm clutch were complicated and would have taken time…. And that’s what I’m short on already. 
 

So I ponyed up the dough and bought a 6 bolt Aluminum jobby from JBR… If you have any performance built into your motor I can honestly say that it’s a worth while expense. It’s just fun. Stock motor, ?‍♂️ Maybe put the $ into carbs…
