Intermovement

Now comes a period of inactivity. This weekend was a marathon but amazing things happened. The new control arms and tie rod ends make a LOT of different, not to mention a proper alignment. It's a whole different car, no longer darting for the bushes when it sees a puddle, and it doesn't steer like a ship with no way on. It's very nice, and the new filter seems to have improved fuel flow. It seems to be running a little richer than before, so I wonder if the filter was always bad and I adjusted the carburetor with some restricted fuel flow going on.

Also the luggage rack got installed. I am not a fan of these racks installed on the Spiders, but they are at least slightly practical for things like a rally, and there were already holes in the boot lid for it.

I'll drive it to work this week and keep debugging it, but the front suspension and steering was a major tick on the to-do list.
