Yeah, got the car safely home, some 70km trip, ran ok but the brakes were touch and go, I have since fixed it ( a little pin hole on the metal part of the brake pipe going into the caliper) Johann, I seriously forgot to leave your spanner behind, I have since dropped it off with your son yesterday.
let me say this: it is such a pity it stood by Piet so long, the elements did take its toll on the paintwork and gearbox seals.
the 305 is smooth but lacks serious grunt like I am used to, the V8 burble is absolute music to my ears after all these years.
the things I intend improving ( I don't mean to offend Johann)
1. take a few inches out of the ride height ( moves a bit like a land yacht)
2. fit my 18" alloys which will also improve handling
3. fit some nice gas riders up front , the rear has the nice heavy duty ones
4. change the front seats to more of a supportive style
5.fit a rev counter
6.fit my tuned 350 and TH350 gearbox - for some added grunt and tyre frying potential
7. although the power steering is great, it robs some engine HP and is very sensitive, I might have to go back to the manual steering box, then again, once the 18's are on , I might have a change of heart
8. I would have to upgrade the exhaust to at least 63mm for the 350
9.fit branches
and that's about it. I am just sooo grateful to have an 8cylinder again, I was having some serious withdrawal symptoms after my last car left
as always opinions are most welcome !!
