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.

any updates 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. |
