BC7, NCP10 and 11AD

Reassembling lower pistons of ABS unit for BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model was in vain as a pipe dream today. Being unchanged the oil leakage phenomena was exactly the same as last Thursday's misfortune.

The standard number as SUZUKI WAGON R 3 branched joint was selected for the inviting parts. The specific parts number is already recorded for ordering tomorrow. Rear brake line joint for ABS-less model was selected as new replacement parts.

Anyway this BC7 Legacy must be established within this year for Legacy Inspection in next January.
I have a strong intention and patience to make her pass the Inspection with all of my efforts and at any cost.

Motor oil replacement was performed on NCP10 TOYOTA Vitz today and additional charging also, as relatively soon 15,54 Volt was attained so the life of the lead battery is almost ruined.
About the unpleasant noise caused by excessive backlash on DOJ in drive shafts has no danger of any critical accident just require the driver's patience on the small noise that's discerned only when the steering was moved deeply at slower speed, in the parking situation.

The rear sway bar for Beetle with torsion bar spring model was checked and explored the possibility of modification for applying to IRS model's axle. Difficult but not impossible was the future prospects.

Solex 34PICT3 carburetor works well in stable condition, both phase in acceleration and in transitions including idling mixture and automatic choke position. Engine stop tendency while idling soon after cold starting disappeared.

In very near future, thrust angle of Super Beetle would be checked again and adjusted more precisely to the extent in plus minus 20 second's error, carrying out by adjusting front axle laterally 1 or 2 mm as a final setting up.
This lateral offset correction would attain more stable steering reaction while straight running.
