2002 Specs?

[PBR]

Hey guys, new to the forum and thinking about picking up one of these bad boys. Was wondering if you guys could point me in the right direction for a comprehensive source on the specs for 2002s. Specifically, weight, dimensions, power output, etc. year to year... Sorry if it's already posted somewhere, but I didn't see it stickied in the FAQ section. Thanks!!!

This link may help. It doesn't give specs but is an overall introduction for first time buyers.

And

This link has specs and production numbers...

Pick up Mike MacArtney's Book. It is a restoration guide, but it covers everything that you would want to know.

Best of luck and welcome to the disease!

this is what breaks and causes yer back wheels to pass you

while your digg'in the twisties

this is what/where it cracks or breaks off and your steering feels wonkie

this is what you'll be asking about later - "how do I get a little more power, but I don't have a lot$ to spend ?"

this is how much(little) free-play your oil pump chain

should have

. . . . .a short story about yer pistons

here's where you grease and oil yer car

this is where they ALL RUST sooner and later

this is why your gear shifter is falling apart

here's some MPG facts

these are your fuses which will be blown or oxidized to death

this is the type of pile you look thru for replacement bits,

or tossout during the course of concourse deElegance preperation

these are the 'factory' wheel choices that came on your car

this a 2002 model that was not imported to the US,

but you'll be asking what the paint CODE is so you can

repaint - change the color a 3rd time

here's the day your car was born

this is what you'll NEVER do with your car unless you have

$30,000.ooo +

here's the 'bad' voltage regulator - which never goes bad-

because it's always the DIODES in the alternator that sheit-da-bed

ALWAYS replace the alternator first - after you repair the loose

and broken wiring

here's where you do most of your research

prevent this from happening -

and to end - sooner or later you'll find yourself

in this position. We'll say a prayer for you also.

Welcome abroad.

thanx for the replies guys. I had better luck with Google today, and came up with this: http://www.carfolio.com/specifications/models/car/?car=56826

I think I'm going to try to find a roller and look into swapping in a M42 engine.
