Is there a better way to spend a day off than to hail mary the car on some lonely desert roads?
It's cold(40ish) and very windy. Heater works great so it made for a nice ride.
I got the new engine mount and steering shaft knuckle installed along with shimming the rear axle bearings to tighten them up. I have the ride height roughly dialed in and will wait until the springs settle to finalize. That will likely also include corner weighting the car.
The car feels great The spring changes made it feel more like a sports car should. Firmer but still with a nice ride. I put almost 100 miles on the car today on some lonely desert roads. That afforded me the chance to do some high speed slalom, 0-100, 0-60, slow speed sharp corners. Car is a rocket! To my surprise I met a state trooper way off the beaten path. At nearly twice the posted speed limit he just sounded his siren and kept going.
Good thing, I was just at the court house last week! The engine mount and steering knuckle definitely took some of the harmonics out of the car. I can't wait to get it back on the track.
