I did a throttle linkage rebuild on my 1941 Pontiac Tudor, 6 cylinder... What a difference!! It was almost like adding another carburetor!!! One of the most memorable car repairs...

Gary, without any doubt, you produce one of the most enjoyable KZbin channels I have been watching in recent years. Your knowledge and craftsmanship of restoring cars amazes me, and inspires me to start working on my just acquired 1986 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ73 FRP.. I hope one day you will feature this car in your show, and I can see all the mistakes I have done restoring mine;-)

The closest I’ve done to that is an FJ40. Many thanks for your kind comments and who knows, I may do a BJ73 in the future!! Regards.

I wish we could see a follow up episode of the 928 being brought back to Tom so he could drive it one last time now that Gary has it perfect now.

I had the chance to buy an early 70's 2002Tii in 1983, I visited a garage down the Fulham Palace Road in London where the car had been in for a respray in white. As I was on the cusp of a promotion at work that would have given me my first company car I decided to pass on the 2002 for £1500! At least I got the promotion and an Audi Coupe with it!!!

I remember when I was a little kid we live on a road with a cul-de-sac. The house all the way at the end, in the cul-de-sac, was owned by a lawyer and he purchased a brand new 1970's BMW 2002 TII. It was 1970's dark brown and i believe it was from the Pre-1974 rear square taillight facelift because his car had the "roundies" as they were called. When that car would drive out of the cul-de-sac and up the hill past our house, it had the sweetest sounding engine i ever heard. It was so quick and really looked the part back in the early 1970s. That was a time when BMW made quality cars that looked like nothing else on the road. I'll always remember that little car.

Mahalo nui loa (Thank you VERY much) for including the credits for the lovely music you feature in your videos! I love the British coal band sound of bands like the Black Dyke Band. That little ditty, "Dover", by The Westerlies just takes this ex-pat back a few decades! I'm on the opposite side of the world from Blighty now, but this music...is...just...IT! Oh...and the lovely car repairs and drives are marvelous, too!🤣🤣 In the nearly 7 years I lived in Germany, I only saw 1 BMW 2002 Turbo on the Autobahn! The example you featured is simply gorgeous! Mahalo for making my day...automotively...and musically. Much aloha to you and yours!

Interesting video once again, Gary. Remember seeing full page press adverts in a Daily Mail for the 2002 Turbo . Strange really , as they were such a low production homologation car , you wondered why BMW would go to such lengths of a full page advertisement. It was of course , the fastest production 2 litre car in the world at the time , so I think it was to push the BMW brand and the technology they had achieved more so than the model itself.

If the BMW waste gate has a diaphragm it may no longer able to hold boost. Otherwise check the turbo turbine for play. There should be the slightest end float play.

I was thinking wastegate siezed slightly open and unable to achieve boost untill high RPM

Very interesting ,I resprayed a 2002 turbo in the early 90s Polaris silver , Never seen another in the flesh ! Also did paint repairs on a Renault 5 Gordini turbo ( rear / mid engine ) Happy days 😃

@albertperks3476 6 ай бұрын

Always had a soft spot for the 2002 Turbo - a bit hairy in the wet I understand when the turbo spools up. 70s and 80s turbos were a bit binary - I remember taking an Isuzu Piazza Turbo out for a spin in the late 80s (on a wet day) and found myself looking out of the passenger side window as I wrestled to bring the car back under control :)

That toyota oil filter cup has a specific tool to open it. It cost's like 20buck's or so. It is a cup that has that big socket edges inside of it and slots cut to it's sides to go over the wings that Gary mentioned. I highly recommend to buy one.

Should have started the video with the " I think i'm gonna be back in the not too distance future" *INSERT DRAMATIC INTRO MUSIC* . the " Montecarlo bar" as Jay leno calls it....and I guess it's cheaper to fly you down to his car maintenance..

Great car, small, lively and good visibility. I ran a 2002 Tii with the Kugalfischer injection. That door would annoy me, something to do with the check strap?
