Hey Folks
Donoald is now the proud owner of a 1915cc engine, Mildly built especially the cam... but hey it works. Ok now this talk about people burning out points and condensers and such nonsense.... WHAT THE HECK!! I've had donoald for over a year now, (proud type 3 owner for over 2 years) and the 009 that came with him has never killed any points (never have had to adjust either) and has never burned out a condenser.... so i see no use in changing to electronic ignition...but for those who have and are tired of changing points and such i can see where you would want to change to E.I. now for the real question
Donoald is sloppy (evil 69 = no tranny horns) can anyone tell me what would be the proper way to get him to handle like a slot car? a friend said if i can find the right sway bars, do that and add some coil overs and "for god sakes raise the front end" that it should handle better... i remember running across somthing that said find 944 torsion bars (stiffer?) and what years? Donoald is definatly a toy..He's my weekend car and my baby.
BTW anyone have a earlier rear torsion housing for sale? not going to swing axle ... gonna weld in the mounts for the trailing arms. let me know.. moving to the Reno/Carson City area , anyone live up there?
