Took both door cards off and replaced the busted plastic actuator rods. Now my central locking works!

 

Had a busy week with the s2.

Installed new Porterfield R4-S brake pads, new front rotors, full brake fluid flush, changed the brake bias valve from a 5/18 to a 5/33and installed the 968 brake cooling "paddles" that i bought from a fellow Lister. I also modded the airbox for a better ram air effect from the turbo nose. Installed a new power steering pump and res to pump hose and fixed a broken stud on the corner of the batwing on reassembly.

 

Just ordered two front rotors for the 944 along with a fuel filter..not much else except reading this site and trying to learn things that are not obvious. Gotta get going on the Torque Tube project ...

 

What did I do to it????? NOTHING!!!!


What did it do to me??? It bit me!



I was just minding my own business walking through the garage when one of the spare seats for it reached out and tripped me causing me to fall on the header panel which was laying upside down nearby. I caught the edge if the metal with my little finger. It went deep and sliced back a 1/2" chunk of my finger.

Two hours later is was still seeping blood. If it's still bleeding tomorrow, I'll stop by the Dr. and have it checked out.

 

A little bit of duct tape and a zip tie will make that as good as new!

 

Dear AZ: just work some Neosporin down into the laceration...It will kill the bugs that may have gotten in there and will help with the pain after a while (in the morning)..use some anti-bacterial band-aids on it too..that will help some..should be all right after a couple of days...BTW you might want to hit it with some peroxide prior to the Neosporin treatment..jus sayin..Tiger 03447

 

Dear Rnlisters: When beating on that 1/2 inch pipe to remove the driveshaft from the Torque Tube, be sure to hold the pipe with a pair of channellocks or vice grips...it hurts like hell when you miss with a 3+pound hammer and hit your hand (twice) DUUUUH! Ask me how I know! It must be a Monday thing...

 

I cleaned the MAF after finding this mess yesterday. I gave it a good cleaning reinstalled it. My idle issue is almost non existent now but I drove it around the block and it has the power of the Yugo. Any ideas? As I type I think i may have just answered my own question. Could it be a clogged cat? That's kind of what it feels like.
So based on the pic I am guessing the Air/Oil separator needs attention?? ANy thoughts on the low power? Thanks everyone.

 

I opened up my trailer and saw my car for the first time 5 months. It was still there... Looking forward to racing it for the first time in 2 years at the PCA Club race at Lime Rock in about a month.(was yesterday really not today)

 

Finally finished banging the driveshaft out of the Torque tube! YAY! TODAY the driveshaft....TOMORROW the bearings!

 

Tested the sensors at the DME harness plug. Both came on at the mid to high 900's. Still searching for the idle and low power issue. Also checked under the new cap and found an old rotor and no dust cap.


My project blog is located here if their is any interest.

LEGEND!

 

never heard of a string alignment?
it's pretty darn accurate at least for setting toe. on a street car it doesn't have to be perfect.

hell, i put new tie rod ends on my subaru last week and set the toe with a tape measure on tire grooves. tracks nice and straight...
