I see it as an opportunity to rebuild the gearbox and get it sorted properly, it’s always been a little dodgy..

After a year long project that had heaps of scope creep and plenty of life happenings slowing progress.. I started with a refresh of bushings and bearings concept in mind.. Ended up doing a KW Coilover conversion, Elephant Racing mono ball rear bushings, polybronze front bushings, 935 Spring Plates, Tarret adjustable drop links, Elephant Racing Finned Oil Lines, New engine oil lines, replace all the bearings in the steering rack, replace wheel bearings, led indicator and brake light retrofit… and lots of powder coating, ceramic coating, cleaning and painting and zinc plating of parts.. Now hopefully it doesn’t pour down for the Track Day on Tuesday 🤞 That is some signinficant scope creep…. But enjoy.

Following the pattern of your suspension rebuild you’ll end up with a sequential racing type gearbox! tk111 and sjm 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hugh Posted 24December, 2021 Report Share Posted 24December, 2021 Just an observation @Joz but it seems like you don’t clean the car that often? Top tip, hose down the car outside of the garage as it saves everything else in the garage from getting wet.

Jeff's V8ster will be a tough little beast when finished. I've had a variety of pristine AC/WC 911's yet this Pcar is the most all round fun I've had by a mile. Absolutely low cost so zero fuchs given when I'm on the edge with it, and the way it's set up stiff light n loud it feels like a fun event just exercising it to the shops. Plenty of grip and go for the track, and in the hills roof down engine singing 2nd through 4th and the smell and close feel of the bush, it's one of life's joys, fast or slow.

Skidmarks Posted 7January, 2022 Report Share Posted 7January, 2022 Not so much what I did “to” my car today but what we did “for” the cars I bought a truck to move the race cars around when I’m flying solo. Good little thing. Jap import. As I discovered, it has a certificate of authenticity ... read on ... Anyway, spent the day with my boys washing it inside and out As we progressed to the cabin, my older boy quipped “maybe we’ll find some porno’s Dad”. ( I was of course horrified and immediately called his mother to find out what she’d been talking to him about. And then I hung up before she answered ...) But wait, we actually found some “adult reading”. Under the passenger seat. True. My arm was too big to get under the passenger seat so I said to 15 yo “see what that is”. And behold, it’s a Penthouse from 1979! And how we laughed (and then tried to cover the issue up when my 12 yo came out and said “what’s that?”. “A street directory” I say as 15 yo stifles a gut laugh. 12 yo looks at us quizzically and says “it’s a porno isn’t it?!” Lucky I have his mother on speed dial. WTF has she been saying to our sons?! Anyway, I get rid of the evidence and we move on when 15 yo says “Dad, I think there’s another one ..”. Seriously! So he reaches in again and out comes a vintage Japanese anatomical magazine. I kid you not. This time it’s straight into the recycling bin. 12 yo is far too inquisitive... that was the 15 yo’s call. I was a tad curious as to contents but it went. Fast! At least we have confirmation that it was indeed a Japanese import. So. Here are some pics of the Big Clean A day the boys and I will celebrate. mrar, cafe_racer, James P and 11 others 9 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
