Thanks Ernie, you are correct.

Lowered the rear, via eccentric bolts. Looks proper. Hopefully diagnosed the fan issue; the thermo switch is bad…not to mention the wiring, which we fixed. Waiting on the switch.

That exterior and interior appear to be in very nice condition.

But, as noted, don't drive on cracked sidewalls. Replace.

Nice looking car, well done.

Thanks for the complements. Wheels are 16x7. Tires are 225 50s. Thinking of getting 215 45s. Found Azenis RT-615k for $122. Thoughts?

With 16x7 wheels I would stick with 222/50 tires (corresponds to the stock outside diameter). I think that this is the best option. Reduces factory settings under-steer of the car. I myself use 225/50 all around with 7x16 and 8x16 wheels. Alternatively you can also put 205/55 tires. 215/45 has significantly smaller outside diameter than you need.

Thanks. That's helpful.

You done fine. And you're a step ahead of me!

Thanks

Yesterday we swapped the fan switch. Now both fans come on, thankfully, however they're both blowing outward. Gonna switch the wires and see if that fixes it. Also, air, hot or cool, never blew from the vents even when the knob was turned to full-on. Now, hot air is blowing, albeit slightly, threw the vent, despite the knob turned to off. sigh

[Avolyn Ave.]

Fans are finally working...blowing outward. Stoked.

Radiator fans blow towards the motor...inward.

The cooling fan resistor always has some resistnce to gound. There is no off for the HVAC fan.

Car has a great stance...180 ft pounds on the spring plate eccentrics is a workout.

I meant inward, not outward.

I understand that there is no off, but it's hot air coming through the vents, regardless of the setting.

Both wheels raised as soon as the nuts were loose. Didn't need to turn the eccentrics. Thanks for your post.
