All Quiet on the Barnward Front

Not much progress on FrankEnSPRIT in the last six weeks. I've picked up a set of suspension bushes for the front lower A-arm that should improve breaking response. Other than that, I've been spending time getting the rest of the fleet on the road for summer and rearranging the barn to be able to get all of the cars in and out without having to move anything.

Oh - and yardwork. Lots of yardwork.
Here are the other toys...



The DeLorean got a new steering rack, some idler bearings, and a bunch of other bits and bobs during the winter. After a first class alignment at Uptown Firestone in Rochester, it is handling as well as it ever did.


This is FrankEnSPRIT's older sister. My 1983 Esprit Turbo. It got a new set of BF Goodrich G-Sport tires this spring to replace the balding Yokohama AVS Intermediates. No opinion on the grip levels yet, but the ride is a bit better. Uptown Firestone provided the mounting and balancing.

Finally, our 2005 Elise. Almost road ready, with the exception of a check engine light for a P0012 code - a retarded cam. It is taking awhile to sort this one out, but I should have it on the road in a week.
