    First drive of 2017 today in the 73S. Ran great but did some fine tuning on the MFI idle. Also just had my distributor rebuilt at Parts Klassik. What a difference!

    Replaced 50 y/o front damper

    Ordered a set of 86-1394 Koni inserts a few weeks ago and put them in today. Straightforward job really. The car left the factory in October 1965 with Boge and the way the front was handling I assumed they were original. I wasn't far off from my assumption. What I found are October 1967 Koni inserts. This is good news because it made the swap even easier, slide out the old and slide in the new.

    Getting the new motor ready for installing in my old 71T. It is a relatively stock 3.0 with Webers and SSIs and my signature muffler. It is replacing my old 3.2SS that finally gave up the ghost after decades of flogging.

    Regards

    Jim

    After being run off the racetrack at the last VARA event at Willow Springs by a lapper 240Z that A) didn't see me coming and B) couldn't keep his vehicle under control (because of the "massive" power he was putting down ) I pulled the running gear and suspension out of the car to have the car put on the Celette bench.

    Turns out the RF was slightly tweaked from the impact with the berm, so I also need to replace the strut and control arm. Not too big a deal, really; more a hassle than anything else.

    What really burns me up is the dumb idiot who, after parking IN my pit, backed his Ford Transit into my racecar while it was parked behind my trailer in the pits as I was loading it up after the accident. Now I need to fix the LR quarter panel, too, which is more of a hassle than having the tub pulled because one requires paint and the other doesn't.

    Guess it wasn't my day.
