The Recidivist 240 Owner 200 1992

posted by  someone claiming to be MoncureWW on  Mon May 31 11:44 CST 2010 [RELATED]

I'm pretty stoked about this car - not cosmetically perfect but mechanically the best I've ever owned. New transmission 30k miles ago, newish brakes, oil changes every 3-4k, regular tune-ups and maintenance, and even a brand new tailgate wiring harness to boot! The folks kept this thing very nice, and I plan on keeping it pretty close to stock - I only added a small clock and tachometer combo this week. I will remove the temperature compensation board, and fix the little nagging issues that are there. Hopefully she'll keep on rolling for a long time to come.... The only issue I can tell is there seems (I haven't quite diagnosed it yet - not enough time - inside tire wear meaning that it needs an alignment or some front suspension work, and maybe an intermittently binding caliper on the front left - however I only noticed the smell once or twice since driving it, and only once after a short drive. Never notice it after long drives. We'll see where I go with this thing - I log about 1,200 miles per month so any nagging issues will present themselves very quickly.
