Our Intro To Sportomatics

Submitted by kpatrickwheeler on Thu, 01/15/2009 - 12:22

We purchased the car in late 1999 from the original owner in Foster City in the SF Bay Area. Since that time the only real change we have made was to install a set of Weber Carburetors. As the old carbs needed rebuilding, the significant performance boost may have only been partially due to the Webers. Things done to the car are:
* Webers w/ fuel bars (whee-e-e-e-e !!!)
* Lower front end back down to factory defaults
* Replace leaking oil return sleeves
* Carrera chain tensioners (just because)
* New tires and batteries (Pilot GT 'junior' racers on S fuchs, lovely!)
* Replaced rear window seal to stop a small leak
* Fix oil leak in the sportomatic (ugh!)
* Wheel bearings and front shocks (Boge) car rolls with a single finger on a smooth surface
