Yeah I'll pull the rear tires and double check everything. I dropped rear tire pressure to 22 and front to 19. Getting tags next week so I should know a bit more when I can actually get it on the road
It is a game changer, that’s for sure.The prop valve made all the difference. Eye ball popping really. I have it set to the front just starts to lock up before the rear. I'd rather face a situation where the car pushes a bit than lose the rear end and it comes around.
I bet you are correct.The prop valve...
Now - at around 50mph and flooring it causes the rear end to wag a lot. I'm somewhat familiar with it. I suspect due to the soft poly bushings in the lower control arms.
Either way, car is a blast. I am loving it. Also - totally a crowd pleaser. Waves, horn honks, everything lol
Funny enough I have them. Just need to install them.
I've got a press. I think I will give it a shot. I'll try the freeze new bushing and cut the old one out like I've seen others do.If you are near Houston I’ll do it for you. Or buy a HF press. Always need new tools
helpful hint:
freeze the bushing and heat up the control arm to press them in.
The old stock ones are very easy to press out.I've got a press. I think I will give it a shot. I'll try the freeze new bushing and cut the old one out like I've seen others do.
Now that I have my windshield installed, I hear noises I didn't hear before. These newer sounds are mainly tire noise and what I believe is timing chain/tensioner chatter. Parts are being ordered. lolHigh on my list is to also replace the timing chain tensioner. I hear they are a high failure item on the LSJ.
I got the title!!!I've been told WV is very kit car friendly.
WV DMV took my money and gave me tags. (they are temporary tags, but I'm hopeful that it will go through). There was definitely a lot of back and forth, odd looks, pauses, questions and so on.
The major items were
-DF Kit Car MCO
-Invoice printed out matching that MCO
-Completed and signed DMV-1-TR (Application for Certificate of Title)
-Completed and signed DMV-TM-1 (Odometer Disclosure Statement)
-Insurance paperwork
-Check payable for 6% sales tax and fees to WV DMV
Within the next 60-days I should receive a title and final registration from WV.
I need to get it inspected which I don't think will be an issue.
Yep. The biggest hurtle is avoiding gas stations. Those are 30 stops, easy.This thing attracts almost too much attention. More so than my last sports car.
