I've visited my buddy Sanya Vogelsinger earlier this week to congratulate for his second consecutive King of Europe FWD title. The fastest street legal FWD car in Europe. Great job Sanya!
I've decided to replace my close ratio power steering box with a manual box from a S10. It's 20:1 compared to the 12:1, but it's simplifying the engine bay and my power steering bracket with the V8 never worked as it should have. Since the manual box using a different pitman arm, which I received with the box, the first task was to remove the arm. I had the special tool for the job, but it was too much to ask and I rendered the tool use less in a couple of minutes. So I took the box and the new arm to a local machine shop specialized in repairing steering components and they did what I couldn't in ten minutes. Now I only have to put the new box in and remove the old stuff...
Not vehicle related, but it worths mentioning a big time, that a week ago my son's team placed second at national final of the handball championship. I don't have to say that it was a real joy and pure excitement to watch them play. It was a good way to close this semester.
I just had to make the previous comment to produce to burned out spark plug cables during the testing session last weekend. I'll try to improve the routing of them.
I though it worth a shot before I dump them. The spark plug cables killed by my Sy in the past seven years. Most of them are Taylors or MSDs. Most of the were burnt by the ATR headers. Hopefully the V8 will much more forgiving in this area.
When the original seats have moved out from Sy I've started to materialize an old plan of mine. Check out the results. The base is from polished stainless steel and it's utilizing a bearing, so it can be turned around. I really like them.
