If you’re reading this ad, I don’t need to explain to you what a 2002 tii is.  What you’re looking at here is a 20 year old restoration of a 40 year old car.  We are the 4th owner and the car has been in California its entire life.  I want this car to go to someone who knows what they are getting, so if you have any questions after reading this posting, please let me know.

 

Like all abandon restoration projects, this one has a story.  My son and I bought this car about 3 years ago as a father/son project.  The first year, we got the car running well, did a ton of work on all the safety related stuff, and just went after fixing all the little things that needed immediate attention. We also started sourcing parts for the build.  About that time, my son got more interested in girls, so we never got around to doing the body and interior.  He recently left the country and is serving his military duty overseas for the next two years, so we have jointly decided to sell the car. His only request was that we find a good home for it who will love it as much as we have.

 

The body is very solid with only the surface rust and a minor paint bubbling in a few spots.  This was originally a Polaris silver car.  When restored, the car was painted an off -white color which is pretty hazy and faded, but because it was professionally prepped when the car was restored, it's held up pretty well.  The texture you may notice under the rear bumper is actually undercoating that the previous owner had applied when they re-sprayed the car.  This has protected the undercarriage nicely, and the critical points (rockers, fenders, and shock towers) are all solid and rust free.  Note the interior panels were replaced behind rear seat, package shelf, and front kick panels by a restoration shop that is known for their work with older cars. This was done to cover holes left behind by the massive sound system installation that the previous owner had put in the car. 

 

The car starts easy and runs strong.  The engine has good compression and makes great power, but does have a minor oil pan leak.  In its current condition, the car could be used as a reliable daily driver as it sits.  However, it’s in a condition that makes it worthy of investing in.  It would not take much to get the minor problems corrected, and it would be a great candidate for a full original resto, or resto-mod. 

 

 

Overview of the car:  

  • Numbers matching original S10 Engine w/rebuilt Kugelfischer FI pump

Not just 'our logo on a sail': Automakers gain technology from America's Cup

Wed, Jun 28 2017

HAMILTON, Bermuda - From water taxis that "fly" on hydrofoils to aircraft wings and cutting-edge car steering wheels, the America's Cup has produced technology with potential far beyond its "foiling" catamarans. With their focus on carbon fiber and aerodynamics, the teams that fought for the America's Cup attracted partners including planemaker Airbus and automotive groups BMW and Land Rover, who were keen to learn from them. One area where this is likely to have an impact is in harnessing "foiling" technology, where the America's Cup boats "fly" above the water on foils, cutting water resistance. "Foiling in small electric boats will most likely appear on rivers in major cities. We are just at the beginning of the foiling adventure," Pierre Marie Belleau, head of Airbus Business Development, who managed its partnership with Larry Ellison's Oracle Team USA, told Reuters. The space-age catamarans used in the 35th America's Cup, which ended in victory for Emirates Team New Zealand this week, can sail at maximum speeds of 50 knots (57 mph) and have more in common with flying than sailing."CARBON FIBER RELATIONSHIP" For Jaguar Land Rover, which sponsored British sailor Ben Ainslie's attempt to win the cup, the relationship is a strategic one with a focus on technology and innovation. "We don't just get our logo onto a sail," Mark Cameron, JLR's Experiential Marketing Director, said by telephone, adding that the carmaker would be providing more designers to help Land Rover BAR with technology for their next campaign. "This is a dynamic sport that is developing fast. ... It's moving quickly just like the car industry is moving quickly. It's all changing," Land Rover produced a special steering wheel for Ainslie to use in the America's Cup, with in-built gear shift paddles that allowed him to adjust the catamaran's "flight" levels. The relationship is similar between BMW and Oracle Team USA, with the German automaker focused on areas including the electronics in the wheel used by skipper Jimmy Spithill, the development of carbon fiber used to make the boat and its components, and the aerodynamic testing. "We like to think of ourselves more as a partner than a sponsor. We have a very strong carbon fiber relationship," Ian Robertson, who is the BMW management board member responsible for sales and brand, told Reuters between races. "This is a dynamic sport that is developing fast. ... It's moving quickly just like the car industry is moving quickly.

2015 BMW S 1000 RR looks to retain sportbike supremacy

Tue, 30 Sep 2014

The BMW S 1000 RR is already a pretty potent member of the superbike ranks, but BMW is revealing a host of upgrades for this two-wheeled lightning bolt at the Intermot 2014 motorcycle show that should make it even faster.
The biggest additions to the latest 1000 RR are its new cylinder head, lighter valves and different intake cam to tweak even more power from the bike's 1.0-liter, four-cylinder engine, and BMW now rates it at a claimed 196 horsepower (or 199 horses if you go with the European measurement, converted from 146 kilowatts), a boost over the first-gen's 193 ponies, and 83 pound-feet of torque through a six-speed gearbox. Those adjustments would probably be enough to make the cycle a tick faster alone, but the Bavarian engineers also cut 8.82 pounds (4 kg) to bring the motorcycle's weight with a full tank of fuel to a feather-light 450 pounds. Much of that diet comes from the redesigned exhaust that cuts about 6.6 pounds off the scales.
Cradling that tweaked engine is a redesigned, lighter frame with fully adjustable springs. The bike also comes standard with Race ABS, stability control, seven-step variable traction control and three riding modes. In terms of styling, all of these changes are communicated through an updated fairing with repositioned, though still asymmetric, headlights.
