Had a similar situation with my 2002, think the bog was applied too thick causing the rust problem? Epoxy first over clean steel IMHO

Looking at doing 40dcoes on my BMW2002 and getting one of these to be sure of correct fuel pressure just to be sure, however I used to have a starlet running a 5k and a 28/36 Weber and the standard mechanical pump was fine without a regulator, the mechanical pumps run low pressure

Fantastic - a wealth of knowledge is available in this forum , thanks for the info.

Can anyone ID this wheel, a set came with my BMW 2002, made in England stamped on the back and Diamond and possibly KN on the front?

Ullrich Aluminium in Manukau have a few offcut bins you can rummage through.

I got carplan stuff from RA Johnson's at Wiri. Thin enough to flow into the nooks and crannies and stays soft.

Lechler 29107 Epoxy Primer - good stuff!!

Great looking Starlet, good to see you can still get TGP water pumps, approx how much $ was the pump? BTW I put a 28/36 weber on my mildly worked 5k and there was a significant improvement over the stock carb.

Very happy with my MTX-L bought from Amazon, also have it synced to Megasquirt, works well.

I'm happy with the Weber 28/36 i fitted to my 5k. It was fitted to Anglias/Cortinas and was a popular upgrade back in the day. Mechanically activated secondary choke and removable venturis to suit approx 1000 to 1600cc motors. Worth a Google for more info

If its similar to a 2002 rear axle it will be torqued to 270ft/lbs, a 2 metre breaker bar helps!
Not sure what your reason for disassembling is but unless the bearings are shot you could leave it intact, thats what i did when replacing all the suspension rubbers.

I haven't had any personal experience with deleting them but theres a few threads on the UK forum worth reading http://www.02forum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=1171 . The twin servos do take up valuable engine bay space!

Fenders were welded from the factory with 2 or 3 tacks and then lead loaded to cover the seam so your fenders could be the originals? Hopefully the underseal wont be hiding too many headaches! Keep up the good work

Nice project, watching with interest. IMHO mock it up in the engine bay, sort out your mounts, headers and other shit before throwing any money at the motor.

Nah, no spares at all, i really need a parts car but highly unlikely to find one of them cheap enough to break! Lots of good upgrade parts for a 2002 on an E21 though

This is the blog link http://2002bmwinnz.blogspot.co.nz/ be warned it is very boring - lots of photos of rusty metal and welding - enjoy!!

scanner - would love to see your 02 at a meet sometime!
ATM the only way it would get to a meet would be on a tow truck! Its a work in progress, ive got the most boring Blog in the world about it - basically i use it to remind me how to put it back together! I do have a KE70 as my daily though.
Haven't seen the fancy light gold one in Pakuranga (Im in Howick), theres not too many around though, ill keep a lookout

Sorry just realised this is my 1st post - im a professional lurker!! Any other 2002 owners out there? Im in Auckland
