I love these cars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Brought one of our local teeners car over to my house so I can reseal the engine for him and do a little fine tuning to it. I'll take some pics for you guys soon.

Maybe Chris can post the pic he took of me at the light (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

No, It needs to have the front lowered a little. It looks like is has 2 degrees positive camber as it sits so the turn in is terrible. The engine just purrssssssss (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) . Once it is resealed it should be sweat. I am going to lower the front a touch and get it fine tuned all around.... it will be sweet when I am done.

Hey Jon,

What exactly is involved in "resealing the engine" how many tubes of silicon do you use?

Will you lower it enough that it needs realignment?

C'mon. Everyone knows silicon won't do it. You have to use JB Weld.

No, I can do an alignment at my house but it shouldn't need it. Silicon? You're funny. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

By reseal I should say, I am replacing the seals. Engine doesn't need to be split but the rubber seals are likely hard as rocks.
