gmsgltr 1,948 Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Looked at it sitting in the garage all dusty and the wiring harness in shambles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caanglin 2,229 Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) Went up 3 threads on the front coilovers. Almost maxed the rear torsion bar eccentric nut (raising the rear). Probably going to go up another two threads on the front. Then get it aligned. Edited November 24, 2020 by caanglin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zappo 1,745 Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Finished installing a new header on the Spider. Changed out the starter in the Volvo. Only got 4 years out of the $65 starter off Amazon. New Bosch one installed now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zappo 1,745 Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Fixed an oil leak, hopefully. Swapped on the winter wheels, which are actually my show wheels but they have the better winter tires on them. Searched for a coolant leak. I thought the new heater core might be leaking, but I pull the covers and ran the engine up to full temp and no leaks there. It might be the lower coolant hose on the turbo, but I didn't feel like crawling under there to investigate. Found out I broke another rear shock mount, same side as the first time. I thought I had a spare but I can't find it, so maybe I already used it. Ordered a new one. There is enough mud on my car from work you would think I was racing rally with it, but no.

Zappo 1,745 Posted December 6, 2020 Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Replaced the rear shock mount last night and dropped the car off to have the head gasket replaced. Also having some other work done on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zappo 1,745 Posted December 24, 2020 Report Share Posted December 24, 2020 Volvo is still down getting the head gasket replaced. He has fixed a few other things that I didn't know about, like the check valve for the fuel tank vapor canister. Apparently I have been pressurizing the fuel tank under boost. I got bumped because he finished up an AWD conversion on an 850R, so now that it is done and out of the shop he can finish my car. I replaced the Idler Arm on the spider tonight. It was completely shot, so I am interested to see how improved the steering is going to work tomorrow. Hopefully the Volvo will be finished tomorrow as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zappo 1,745 Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 I have been adjusting the alignment on the spider for the last few days and it should be a lot closer now. Volvo is back on the road. I don't think I can make it down there today to pick it up, but I am off early tomorrow and should be able to do it then. I will have him do some exhaust work on the spider. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zappo 1,745 Posted January 1 Report Share Posted January 1 Picked up the Volvo and dropped the spider off for some work on it. Started it up and was talking with someone before I left. Go to leave, the car dies. Fuel pump relay. Pulled it out, hit it against the shock tower and put it back in. Car fired up. Need to order a new one. The car has some minor issue still I need to work out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zappo 1,745 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 Installed a catch can. Not pretty right now, just testing to see if it works. Replaced the upper engine mount at the firewall as well. That should fix my vibration issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bmdubya1198 59 Posted January 3 Report Share Posted January 3 (edited) I’ve been neglecting my poor R... now that it’s become my daily again, I haven’t had a chance to take care of all the stupid stuff I want to fix like polishing and fixing the mounts on the fog lights. Maybe tomorrow. Oooh, but I did order some Kaplhenke delrin SF bushings last week. Those should be here any day now... gotta love USPS. Those will go in when I swap the rack out. It leaks fluid out faster than I can fill it! Edited January 3 by bmdubya1198 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zappo 1,745 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Replaced the battery yesterday as it was dying quickly. Today I installed a new battery try because the one I had in there before was falling apart. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bmdubya1198 59 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Dumped in some more PS fluid... my pump was groaning bad yesterday. So what's that now, weekly it goes through most of the reservoir? 🤣 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
