Yay! It runs again, and soooo much work has been done!

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)

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".

Congrats man. You're going to love solo II if you haven't tried it before...

btw autox- you going to salem or PIR?
i'll be doing salem (WMC), as its 15 bucks cheaper and doesnt require pre reg like PCA.
maybe i'll see ya there?

PIR. It's $15 less gas to only drive to PIR instead of Salem!

PCA has an entry limit, and porshces get priority. there is a risk that they'll be at full capacity if you dont preregister. you might wanna do that.
