"NO GARAGE QUEEN, She."

Going up to Auburn today to 'test 49'... nothing too extreme, but a good day to see how it handles and let the suspension talk to me. I think the drive was very effective, revealed no surprises, and I feel more confident  the car is ready for more. I will continue to inspect and expand my driving radius.

Next time: On Board Videos: Stay Tuned.

Had an very weird oil leak and a pretty good mess ... O RING failure... Must have been made on a Monday...

Picture 212.png (871868 bytes) Picture 213.png (782432 bytes)

It's fixed now... note the expanding tube style on the replaced return tube. It's sealed now. No leaks.

I don't know why the O RING failed but heat may have been a factor since it looks as if the exhaust headers may have been leaking a bit. I used some gasket adhesive to solve that problem. I hope it does the trick now. I'll watch the exhaust headers for a few days. and be sure it seals properly. I think that blue stuff works pretty well.

1st DRIVE:
Alignment REPORT:


WOW!!!!
What a difference! The car actually feels pretty awesome and stable.
I feel like I can hit turns and know that the car will not switch ends without notice.

The rubbing on the left rear fender has completely ceased.

SWWWWEEEEETTT!

That is a great day for me.

THANK YOU !  G12!
 

Give them a call and let them know you saw it on 74911RS.com!
(SWEET) Alignment turned up a couple of things initially...

The ride height on the rear was PERFECTLY LEVEL, as I thought it was... Good guess... on my angle finder vs. Torsion bar setting. (NICE)

and

the rear left fender was a 1/2 lower than the right. (body imperfection I guess...)
The owner says he believes by setting the alignment to -1 deg on the rear and -1/2 deg on the fronts...
will all but eliminate the slight rub on the outer fender (left rear side).

I agreed... so we're going with -1deg rear, -.50 deg on the fronts. We'll report back when I have driven it again. It'll be a lot less spooky to drive I think.
