Today was a great day!!! Finally went and got the 69 out!
I wanted to send my students home so I could leave early, but I had to last all 9 periods. Went home, met Pops, and went to where the car was...
Dirty!!!
Guy decided to tell us now that it has 2'' drop springs- oops. ground clearance?
thats about twice as much as my mustang has!!
Then it was go time... almost wish this one was coming with us
Serious Pops is serious
No, I didnt get to drive. Had to follow in the lil 300hp Accord- poor me. Might be faster then the pony at the moment, but it doesnt feel like it!
and a couple other pics-
Love it already!
But, did find a few faults with it now-
-Clunk from the front springs. mostly on smaller bumps- not bottoming out, mostly from smaller bumps. Sounds like there are no isolators on the springs? If not, we will be switching out for 1" drop springs.
-Speedo is off- a lot. says about 87mph when were doing 65mph. Trying to figure out which gear the TH400 needs!
-Radio cuts in and out: Seems that the speaker wires are loose. I hate electrical.
-drivers headlight out: If i mess with the connector, it comes back on. Bad ground? bad connector? once again, I hate electrical.
I plan on giving this thing a good cleaning, and taking some proper photos. We also plan on a set of LED taillights, finding a full spare, maybe some wheels to set it apart.
Also, random story time:
On the way back, I was following in the Honda. Suddenly I notice the Jeep that was next to the 69 checking it out put its flashers on, and a TON of smoke coming from the underside of the car. Uh oh. Pull over to the side, and saw what it was- somebody dumped a loungechair cushion on the road!! Headers melted it, and got a nice coating of synthetic fibers
Nice way to start this relationship out!!
