After a spirited run around and over the cones I noticed a rubber smell persisting. This week driving to work I heard a squeal. Today it seems the right rear tire is rubbing the inner fender where the box projects towards the wheel. The camber has become more pronounced and is visibly tipped in at the top of the wheel. Tires are 205s, but they cleared before. Clearly something has changed, and I suspect that in fact it changed during the autocross. Can you help me with ideas? The suspension console looks ok but the car has rust separating much of the firewalls from the floor at the rear. Car actually feels solid with no door gap issues.
Thanks |

Jacking up the car and removing the wheel will let you check out the suspension console.
If it's too rusty to use a jack then it shouldn't be driven. |

It is really rusty in places, but the worm seems to have bypassed this spot at present. Someday I will pull the motor again to do what is right by that car, but right now it is the one that always delivers. Fer instance, I started tearing apart the motor for my 911 cause of the dilivar studs. Made progress there but would prefer to drive the 911. The six conversion moved ahead in that I think I have all the fuel lines tight. I silver brazed stainless in bad conditions, and had to redo. So, this one little 914 was the one that behaved reliably. |
