What have you done to your car lately.

[8 spoke]

lets hear

[benssp]

despite the rumours, I haven't touched my 'lately' for days

[Zach Gomulka]

Drive, drive, drive, put gas in it. Drive, drive, drive, put gas in it...

[Mike Lawless]

We ran our last race less than two weeks ago, and now the engine is out and apart, the trans is out, the suspension is disassembled and parts either have been ordered or already delivered as preparations for next season have begun

[Bryan67]

Mmmmmmmm............ 2 inch CB beam, ball joints, tie rod ends, shocks, cb wide five discs, Scott Sebastion rebuilt trans, T 3 rear brakes, the 1914 out of my old Fastback, centerline, new tires, poly seats........

[SlingShot]

I broke mine 

[Jason Foster]

Just got back from a trip to a friends to help him take his axles off. Most recent thing I've done is pulled the engine and temporary trans Oct.19th and put my newly rebuilt trans from Jim Kaforski, went to 3.88 weddle main shaft and so on. Ran drag day on the 26th had fun but only ran a 7.90 at 86mph ( 1/8th mile of course) that day still not bad for a street car. Put a new side view mirror on it last Sunday. Also changed the DOT's to radials last Sunday. That's about it lately..... AND YOU?

Good to hear your working on you car Bryan.


Did my first rebuild on a set of dells'.  Tune up. Put on the sidewinder ( not very cal-look but its nice). Found some type III brakes, now looking for the wheels to match.

[Bewitched666]

Fix the alternator and am busy with my 1904 engine

[Neil Davies]

Finished building one of the doors, got most of the other one built (window winder still to go). Tried to find parts I've got but put away somewhere safe (Lucas indicators) and bought some more bits that I thought I'd got but hadn't.

[j-f]

[lawrence]

New alternator pulley, some carb tuning, painting vent wings and related items for that porsche look, new wiring cover, trunk liner and vintage tool kit. Driving it on my favorite roads of course!!

[Jim Ratto]

Yes, that sidewinder is very sexy. What kind of wheels are you looking for? No more Ansens?

[Donny B.]

I rebuilt my 010 distributor and installed some Bosch 90 degree ends on the plug wires.  I sure like the look now.

[Speed-Randy]

thinkin about goin all yellow with white walls so everybody can bitch about that

[Harry/FDK]

New engine is in, pumped for oilpressure. Made all new oil, gas and breather lines, re-wired the alt and rear lights, twin oilcoolers and fans are ready, brackets for Kaefer-bar are done. Now working on lambda wiring, plug cables and CSP linkage.
New front fenders and modified decklid are off to the painter, and i have to install aluminum door panels done by Cedric.
That's about it.

I didn't post pics of the complete "overhaul". Just here and there on diff. topics like Late models (engine lid) and something about the twin cooler/fan combo. Maybe i post some pics when the car is up to standard.

[louisb]

Bought some engine odds and ends this weekend at the Bug Jam. Getting ready to order my heads today.

Well I just put my car back on the road since my fronttrain broke down a month ago.  I was cool to hear the 48's IDA's and the straight cut time gearing again.  I missed it.

[Zach Gomulka]

Where did you find those 90 degree wire ends? I've been wanting a set for my GTV...

[Zach Gomulka]

Installed... a Original EMPI Engine brace bar 

Got pictures??

Yeah come on Harry show the pictures...
How your doing buddy.

[Donny B.]

I had them in my inventory.  They came on some Magnacore wires that I purchased from the Bergs many years ago.  When the wires went bad I salvaged the ends.  I believe that if you order Bosch plug wires for a Type III you get wires with the 90 degree ends.  Then you just need of fine tune the wire length.

[Bryan67]

You could just buy some 90 degree plug wire boots from say NAPA and put them on your old wires.

Well, the day before yesteday, I took the Zwit out for a quick cruise with the wife and kids. Me and the boys got our ears lowered, then we cruised over to our friends house, but a few cars to shame stop light to stop light and went home. Yesterday, I took the Zwit out to see a client and drop off some job info. Today, Me and the boys took ole' Zwitty out to visit a friend/client, pick up some small hardware at the plumbing supply, and then we hit Jansen Enterprise in San Carlos to see how Ken was doing. I guess, lately I have been driving it every chance I get. This California weather sucks.
