    This looks excellent, better than the scans I've been able to pull off (I mean, mine work, but they're not as good as this -- also, I have an ICE motor in the way still). Thanks!

    Cool, thanks. I was looking into LFP cells, mostly for stability and long life at the expense of energy density. But they're relatively small; I'd need 220 of them in a 2p110s configuration for...

    Thanks for the update! What are you using for cells, and how many kWh are you targeting? The battery looks smaller than I expected, but mostly because my future plans (someday...) aim for 200-300...

    Well, I have an EFI conversion, so I packed all the old wires into the large Deutsch connector in a custom bulkhead plate (basically a piece of plastic that I heated so I could put a 90 degree bend...

    That does sound like it's somewhere in the start inhibit circuit. I'd probably start by testing the relay and its socket in the relay compartment, since that's likely the easiest place to do a quick...

    Just to wrap this up: It was definitely the cage. I properly welded it this time, and the wheel is a lot more stable now and sits in the right position.

    Thanks everyone for the help!

    I finally got around to checking this out again. The bushing at the end of the column appears to be inserted correctly. It seems to be on there firmly and doesn't shift around. I couldn't move it...

    I realized just now that I described this in a confusing way:

    The shaft is pivoting at the U-joint location, which implies the the end of the shaft is secure. The steering wheel end of is moving...

    That is a good question. I will have to pull the shaft to take a look, although I am not sure when I will have time to do that for a bit.

    Although it seems to be stable at the u-joint end of the...
  11. [General] Steering wheel rattling and sitting low? (it's not the tilt adjuster)

    A bit of a weird one here: my steering wheel rattles a lot, and it's sitting lower than it should. The bushing in the firewall is new, and the adjustment knob is very tight and is not causing the...

    The good news is that I put in billet aluminum lower control arms and adjustable uppers in the front, so I do have the front reinforced as well. Good point about the difference between coil-overs vs...

    I'll get some 1/4" and 1/8". I'm sure I'll find some use for the other piece.

    I was going to try to hammer down the top that was buldging upward, but I can't fit a hammer in there, and I don't...

    I recently put in KW coil-overs. They're working well, although it seems like a rear passenger side bushing is squeaking. While looking at them, I noticed this bit of weirdness.

    I think you're right. I can't see anything specific about the "trail", as I was calling it, expiring. Not sure why I thought that. I appear to be running the "personal use" version.

    I thought that meant "the shift points feel wrong", not "the kick-down isn't working properly", but I can see how that would apply. I was thinking too narrowly.

    And the shift points were wrong --...

    Right, the workshop manuals were meant for trained mechanics, which is fine and to be expected. The rest of us just have to learn how to decode them. :)
