So... Sunday was nice ... why not drop a motor. Pulled the 1600cc 4-pot out today. Trans-axle tomorrow or Tuesday. Ship transaxle off for refurbishment and wait to reinstall for next season.

Already have SSPI Racing first event: HSR Sebring 3/3/04-3/6-04

Here are some pics:

Tomorrow I'll fight my way through the "Z-bar" and ancillary attachments to get the transaxle out. Here is a shot of the LR from center car underneath. For those not familiar (I'd guess 99%) a Z-bar is a sway bar of sorts that prevent the swing-axles from tucking underneath the car (going to positive camber and toe) under heavy braking and cornering. Swing axles pivot at the transmission ...the Z-bar forces one side or the other down onto the ground so there is no "tucking" and "rear-steering" And you thought 911s were "tricky"



Cheers,
