arg,

i get my timing set, tune the carb. car runs perfect! car feel faster than ever i love it. then as im driving the car starts to studder. im like WTF!! pull over what do i see the oil cooler line burst oil every where!! so i limp it home (down the street) aint that a bitch finaly i get the car to run great. o well atleast its an easy fix.


another thing i have to work on is the car floats. around 70mph the car feels like its on air. stearing gets soft kinda scarry. suspention should fix that though + an air dam would help.

sigh one day this thing will be on the road for more than 30 min with no problems. i pray for that day.

 

Welcome to the way of the first gen.

 

Floats around 70? That seems a little odd. You might want to head over to classicgarage.com and buy some cheap koni adjustables. Or lower your car.

And as far as the constant stream of problems goes, sweetege got that right.

*grin*

 

you might need new bushings, and tierod ends. Mine used to float around on the expressway too before i replaced the bushings. Now its not too bad, but new shocks/struts will also help you out alot. Sorry bout the oil cooler hose. That sucks.

 

very true

 

those are adjustable? i thought they were just stock replacements. i was not going to get them because they were non-adjustable and was saving for a tokico 5-way set up but if there adjustable i think i will have to get them.

so they are adjustable?

 

Yes - they are adjustable.. but only when they are off the car. In other words, if you want to adjust them, they need to be removed and reinstalled
