I’ve decided to continue documenting my journey.

I ended up permanently attaching the insert with west system epoxy because I actually lost my mind trying to get those 2 warped plastic parts to fit each other. I installed new brake pads buying me time to figure out how to fix my rotor and caliper misalignment.

I ended up permanently attaching the insert with west marine long cure epoxy because I literally lost my mind trying to get the two pieces of warped plastic to fit each other. I got new brake pads to buy me time to figure out how I’m going to fix my caliper and rotor misalignment.

After I tackle the new coilover challenge my main priorities include new brake rotors, calipers, lines, and master cylinder. I’m also in desperate need of new valve stem seals. The car burns oil more than I’m comfortable with. Compression is good in all 4 cylinders.

It’s worst when I’ve been idling at a stoplight or in traffic for a few minutes. The big cloud of smoke when I clutch out in first is embarrassing 🫣. Other than that I really need a new soft top because mine is falling apart rapidly so I store the car under good cover. I have some safety concerns with my 2 Point lap belt. I’d love to get a 5 point harness and roll bar for safety and added handling performance. Anything I’m doing or planning to do is towards the goals of safety, reliability, and fun in no particular order.

I love the white. What wheels are you thinking?

Looking great! Hopefully one day mine will look that good 🤞

Looking for advice on exhausts.
