Well, its winter time here and I've started my maintenance/upgrades.
The NEED To-Do list is as follows:
- Replace timing chain
- Replace clutch/flywheel
- Clean up wiring up front / remove unnecessary wiring
- Replace belts with 2024 expiration SFI belts
- Cleanup and paint all the exposed corroded aluminum on the engine/trans
- Tint license plate light - too bright!
The WANT To-Do list is something like:
- Quaife LSD
- @Ark :D 's floor mats
- One piece dash "plate" to clean up the interior look a bit... maybe a small glove box? Custom buttons?
- Add cruise control. The car had aftermarket cruise, but it failed shortly before becoming a Goblin. Would like to have that ability again
- Front splitter compatible with the tilt hood
- Auxiliary heat exchanger to keep the air cooler. Stock is having trouble keeping up
- Upgraded muffler, maybe with a vacuum actuated dump. I'm thinking about using a Vibrant resonator because of this: . Seems to get rid of the rasp, but keep the loudness
- Forged internals and moon tune
Hopefully by posting this all here I will guilt myself into getting all this done this winter
I've already got the engine and trans out. Clutch was pretty flat. Those grooves in friction material don't show up if looked at from the side.
