A little synopsis for you guys, I broke the rear u-joint and driveshaft drag racing three weeks ago. Well it's all back together and then some! I've been getting it ready for SCCA Solo II Racing (autocross) :driving:
For the grenaded driveline, I now have an early (79-82) driveshaft with new serviceable Spicer u-joints with corresponding early 3rd member flange (the 83-85's have a non-serviceable driveshaft and different rear flange). The 3rd member and transmission both got drained and filled with new 75W90 Royal Purple Gear Oil. Shifting improved by a LOT!
As for the rest of the car? Well, I just got done installing the heavily-bolstered and taller back 2nd Gen (FC) seats. Clutch fluid has been flushed, and all other fluids topped off.
The autocross is the 20th and I still have to do the front brakes and possibly a colling system redux. I have a set of triple gauges I'd like to get in there too. We'll see!
Pics later, I'm going on a "test drive". :rofl:
