Never ran better

It’s been a while since I updated. Over the winter I centered my rear end / driveshaft in a last ditch effort to cure some driveline vibrations.... and it worked! I’m no longer afraid to go over 60mph. To celebrate I went for a decent drive... and the alternator crapped out. So I took the opportunity to upgrade to a 160A unit.

I also got some new tires. I went from BFG Radial T/As in 225/60/R15 all around to Cooper Cobras in 215/65/R15 up front and 245/60/R15 out back. I also took the plasti-dip off the wheels as it needs to be re-done... but I might leave them gunmetal. It’s like getting new wheels for free!

Both the tires and alternator were big improvements. Now that the drivetrain is not in danger of exploding again... time for more boost eh? :)

Also, in a couple of weeks I will be contacting Bring a Trailer to try and sell the Baja Mustang there. Keep an eye out for it.

I hope it’s a fun auction! I figure it could go one of two ways: I get close to what I have into it, or there is no interest.

Ooh, glad to see the abomination :D

Going to any events soon? Would love to pick your brain a wee bit.

I’m the 2jz datsun guy by the way.

I did. Then BaT denied me :(

Looks like I’ll have it for a while longer. It’s getting to be summer, so I’ll actually get to use it I suppose.

Yeah. I took it for a drive last night. After having it sit all winter, I forgot how fun and surprisingly comfortable it is to drive.
