The final parts check.

With the last of the parts arriving this weekend I finally have a full list of things to do over the winter.  I might add a couple of other things as the winter progresses, but we will see how that goes.

The last piece to arrive:

Quaife quick ratio rack & pinion.  Took a while to track that one down.  Steering will drop from 4.25 turns lock to lock down to 2.85, about a 30% reduction in steering.  I did take out out for one ride in the snow...had to.  It's a great car to drive when the AWD is engaging.  The rear end is predictable and sliding was easy with small oversteer corrections to get it back in line.  Just needs more power!  

This week I'll be putting him up on jacks, spraying the chassis down and starting on getting some new parts on the car.

Winter project parts V2.

D16Z6 bare block.  Shortly on it's way to Benson's for a sleeve job.
