Fuze Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Replaced a frozen/rusted solid driver e-brake cable. Swapped out my MK1 short shifter for the stocker. (The MK1 one was not the bent kind and while strapped into the race bucket I had to fully extend my arm to get third and fifth. Already have the steering wheel close to me.) I 3D printed a new shift knob for it (out of clear PLC) and put a 12v LED in it. Edited September 2, 2014 by Fuze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coke Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) Drove the Palermo to work and back today. Sarajevo didn't move from the garage today, I drove it enough all weekend. Took it to Syracuse, NY and back on Saturday, Niagara Falls on Sunday, and then to a family and friends cookout on Monday. I need to start driving the Palermo more, I've put 10,000 miles on my Sarajevo since May. Edited September 3, 2014 by Coke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
