The Blues, and an F22 demonstration.

The coveted 454 block.

New rebuilt rack and pinion/ a year installed, no leaks, plenty of fluid CHF 202, new ball joints, tie rods, and bushings, and new filter reservoir.
Slow turns, like going into and out of parking areas and the steering wheel gets a slight shimmy. Completely goes away by 10- 15 mph. Put maybe 3k miles on since the install. Any ideas what this may be or is leading to?

Fiction inspired by reality.

Noticed it broke at a mounting point while replacing tires and brake pads. Today was tlc day for the bike.

But is this an easy diy job or am I going to have to pull the tire and chain off to get to it?

Thanks.

Anybody here of this yet?

Don’t see these every day. Herbies nemesis in the original Love Bug.

Same diameter, just longer. Both cars take 8 quarts of oil, despite the 944 being half a block. I ask because I can get Mann 928 filters for half the price of the Hengst filters. I’m sure the pressure level, 5 bar is negligible.

That ‘69 911 takes the same filter as a ‘65 Mustang, pretty much every car of that era took the same damn filter. Say Mustang it’s $6.00. Say 911, $17.99. Been doing that for decades. Hell, the Ferrari 308 uses the same filter. Won’t get a gee wiz stamp in the maintenance book for that knowledge.

Through some cross reference I found out Porsche has been using the same damn spark plug from 1948- 1999. Bosch Platinum- 944, $3.00. 928- $6.00. 911- $10.99. Same damn plug, same damn company. Just saying.

So, using this knowledge, anyone try a 928 filter on a 944?

Really cool. Mesmerizing to look at.

Changed the ignition switch mounted on the back of my starter of my S2. Horrible job, don’t recommend. Same key, same tumbler that has been in the car.

But now it feels tight and I can’t insert the key. I want to make sure it’s successful before I put it all back together. I again disconnected the battery ground, and I can’t insert the key with no power on the car.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Car show today, headlights are screwing me up. Thanks.
