Just got back from PCM...they flashed the original mail order tune. Runs great again. So smooth. Nearly no surging.

Finally got the 1SC on the scales today. I had the guy drop the front ride height by about 1/2-1". Looks so much better. I'm going to get it aligned tomorrow. He also fixed my exhaust leak which was driving me nuts.

I wish I had thought to bring some heater hose to tweak the rear springs a little, but I didn't. At least the front is even.

That is with me in it. I weigh 190 lbs (all muscle).

Not really. My dad has the car now. I replaced the battery and turns out it’s the alternator. It’s chanrging but not by much.
All the rear wheel bearings need to be replaced. Probably going to just have a shop do it. M

I’ve been thinking about the weight. Not sure if you guys could see the flicker picture, but it weighs right at 3400 without a driver and half a tank of fuel. Does that sound a little heavy for a 1SC with no ac and no rear seats? My LT1 car has more weight reduction but also has a heavy flywheel and it weighs 200 lbs less.

There has been a clunk in the right rear for a while and I thought it was a bushing. Turns out its coming from the hearing. There is some up and down movement. Also there is a lot of noise coming from the rear end. I thought it was the Toyo’s Just being a loud tire, but it’s probablu bearings. I think I’m going to pay a shop to rebuild the rear end.

As far as my car goes, to my knowledge the bearings are fine, I just need a new LSD so I’m thinking about just finding a write up and learning something new.
