It's been a while but Leeloo is getting closer to getting back on her feet. Basically what started as a tranny rebuild for a broken R&P is now getting closer to the end after getting in there to do a "few things". DWD set in and since I thought "while I was in there"....you get the idea... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
First off was getting the 901 fixed. After taking it apart it was found that the rear mainshaft bearing obliterated itself and ended up tilting the mainshaft under load. It proceeded to wipe out the R&P and 3 gears. Not a pretty sight. After a rebuild with 3 new gears, new synchros, seals and the installation of a Wavetrac TBD, she is ready rock! All buttoned up and under her own power now. Bill P. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i126.photobucket.com-287-1407096935.1.jpg) |

Yeah, the rear down braces are a compromise. This is going to be one of those lightweight, all around toys. Once I got past which way to take the car (pure AX, pure track) and just wanted something fun, I decided what would work for both. In fact, more weight is going back in as I plan on building up the 915 I have with WEVO bits. I'll decide after that if I want a 993 3.6 in there.
My goal for AX is to be top 10 in local PCA regions (there is no hope in SCCA here for me to compete, too many awesome cars and drivers) and to be be quicker than the fastest SPB's in NorCal. And I want the car fuel injected, so it kinda makes things a mashup. Leeloo should still be a ton of fun to drive! Now...back down my rabbit hole!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Bill P. Picked up the magic front slicks today from Roger Kraus. Right compound, right height and brand new. Also just about unobtainable as you have to order them out of England. Think they belong on your car. |
