LM002 RHD Rolling restoration.. will be updated regularly

Enjoy the LM now , you've waited almost 30 years to get one.

Now we have a supercharged M5 track car to build

 

Mazeltov!

On a technical note the best decision we made was to bin the 2 decades old Magnetic Spaghetti ECUs and go for a current standalone ECU.

Running individual EGTs for all cylinders (the Haltech guy thought we were nuts) has been key in tracking down engine set up problems that probably caused this LM to be parked for over 10 years by the previous owner.

 

Are you talking about the ignition boxes?

Same as used in other cars and I've never had trouble in Ferrari or Lambo. In fact we have seen less trouble with Marelli Microplex than the Bosch Motronic that replaced it.


The injection ecus on the other hand are some home made junk and are such garbage Radio Shack wouldn't take credit for them.

 

Hi Brian,

We replaced both systems

The injection boxes had been sitting on top of a puddle of water under the right hand seat for 10 years which didn't help.

The great feature now is we can plug in a lap top and see what's going on in real time.

I was able to capture a quick video of Taffy's emotional response when he finally accepted the LM002 war was over

And yes he wept quietly ...

 

No question, advantages to be had that way.

Congrats on the job and congrats on being done. Now all you have to do is find some money to keep it's thirsty fuel tank filled.

 

That was a blessing in disguise.

 

Congrats on a great job.

Drive and enjoy.

Regards,

Taz

 

Filling it up isn't so bad , it's just a tank doesn't last very long

 

Yea, no kidding.

At least it isn't the big tanks in the carb truck. We only have 45 gallons or so.

 

Have you noticed that the fuel tank is not 290Lts as stated in the factory specs, it is about 200Lts, so your 45 gallons sounds about right.

 

To be honest I have never read the capacities section.


I once had the tanks out of a carb truck. The dealer I worked at had our own gas pump so when I put it back together I went out back with a 5 gallon can and filled it. Well it wasn't enough to get the fuel pump to prime so I put another 5 gallons in it. Then drove it around back and filled it. It took more than another 60 gallons to fill.

Those back seats hold a lot of gas.

 

simple incredible, good work and cool car.

 

9 is close to zero on the keyboard , they probably typed the specification sheet after another long Italian lunch

It's not too colorful , only half the colors of a gelato shop.

It looks good in my opinion.

 

Taffy , now go and put the LM on a truck weigh bridge to find out how heavy it really is.
