The racing season is about a month away so nows the time to get the car ready. I had to put in a new racing harness the one that came with the car had long ago expired. It's a safety thing they make you either replace or re-web them every 2 years, I don't quite understand why. Your every day street car can go 10 or 15 years without needing them replaced why not racing belts?
The only other maintenance I'm going to do is replacing the steering rack. The car had power steering that had been disconnected and the lines crimped closed. The problem was the car was very hard to steer and to back the car up it takes a lot of effort and you only have one arm to steer with. The reason is you have to hold the transmission brake button held down while in reverse to get it back up and that button is on the shifter. So a friend of mine just happened to have a manual steering rack for sale at a great price and now I'm installing it. So far it hasn't been too bad of a job, getting the old one off was a small pain but not as hard as I thought it would be. However getting the new one on will require a second set of hands so I'm going to have to wait for the weekend to get some help.
Hope all is well
