waiting to rebuild whitey!  Group: Retired Admin Posts: 15,854 Joined: 7-January 03 From: Indy Member No.: 100 Region Association: None  |
I'm taking whitey to the track in April. I need to do a couple things, so I'm making a list. I may need a bit of advice on some items.
TO DO LIST Install Front Swaybar Install Rear Bar New Brake Pads (I've used Hawks before, but not on stock brakes) - Recomendations accepted here but remember this may be the only track event for this car, so a good street/track combo pad is what I want. Replace Brake Fluid Clean Air Filters I think that about does it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) |

Closer to the event, make sure the wheel bearings are properly adjusted (fronts that is)
Id say do a maintenence job, like oil, valves etc... |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I'd say most cars flunk tech because of wheel bearings and batteries not secure enough.
I like to get under the car with all my open ends and tighten everything I can see. You'd be surprised what will work loose when you start putting the car under pressure. |

bearings are good and valve adjustment has about 200 miles on it.
Oil change was done with valves. |

Check EVERY f---ing nut and bolt. More than once.

Not to be outdone by Chris & Rich I got my Mod 07 today. It will end up in blue car but I think I'll put it in whitey for the DE in April. Is there a trick to get the horn button to stay in?
I'm looking for a couple items, too. A used 914 Harness bar A momo hub for a '72, can be used and not so pretty as it will only be used until blue car gets here. thanks. |
