NE PLUS ULTRA DRIFT PREP 04
These past couple of weeks has been a marathon of fixing the small things on little car.
Little car will drive three hours north, drift all day, and drive us home safely.
On this episode, we mounted 4 brand new tires:
After putting the tires on, i noticed a 3 o-clock and 9 o-clock play on the front wheels. After ordering wheel bearings for s13, i found out that I have an s14 spindle.
I’ve also had a terrible pulley whine coming from the engine bay. I found out my alternator was being held by one of two bolts. I somehow lost the alternator mounting bolt!
a couple of trips to OSH later, it has been replaced with a bolt with lock washers and red loctite. Whine be gone!
today i’ve gotten an alignment. It was overdue, i have not gotten an alignment since crashing the car a couple of years ago.
The car feels nice and responsive now! The added caster in the front made it very twitchy. A good thing for initiating slides.
I’m waiting for some wheel bearings to come in the mail. But until then it is time to pack for friday.
Almost there! It has been nice to work on the car with friends.
