10 Days away til DGRR.. You ready??

Tell us what you have left.

Me, I'm waiting on a new hood for the MB FD..

 

Waiting for the fabrication shop to finish the bracket on the water jet to install these for the long trip.

 

I am very ready. Now my car, that's another thing

 

**Begins shitting bricks......**
might have to start axing stuff.........!

 

Damn Benny. That's a lot of work. Less posting and more action!!

 

I've still got a list to go


1. Change plugs / wires
2. wash car
3. Wash car ( its extra dirty )
4. make some meth ( car goes into withdraw without it)
5. Make my car's name tag
6. Apply efini emblems to clean car.
7. Buy walkie


.... Hmmm I think thats about it.

 

Rebuild my turbo

 

lol right? not to mention half those things arent "install" its build.... lmao but most projects are 50-75% done

 

I'm down to just changing the oil and finishing my carbon fiber air box tray for the 8...

 

Contemplating installing a new air filter... :-D

 

Cant wait!!!

"4. make some meth ( car goes into withdraw without it)"
- LMAO love it


I have a thread posted if anyone needs a place to stay!

 

Anyone seen the forecast for that weekend? It looks like crap..........

 

^ Don't sweat it just yet. What you learn up here is the forecast can and will change a bunch between now and then.

As for getting ready, my car is now running so that's pretty cool. Been 5 months in the making

Hope to have it back on Friday and then it's a good wash and polish and I should be all ready. Going to also install my new LED "rod" front turn signals and maybe my trick sequential light wiring for the brake lights.

 

Mike...a poncho might be handy for u... =)

 

ugh not rain again.

 

Here's hoping if there's rain it's for a LITTLE BIT then it stops and dries up!

I've got to get my thermostat housing back from the welders, re-install it and fill the cooling system then charge the AC up. Oh, and buff the car out BIG TIME, the paint looks like terrible right now.

Can't wait!

OH NO this is def not good ... I guess I'll add Buy rain-X to my list of things

 

Well, like I said, the weather chances at a moment's notice. Friday now has no rain and will be a partly cloudy 67 degrees, or perfect. No forecast yet for Saturday or Sunday.

 

Thought I was ready...then this happened....

On the way to work, driver side power window works perfect. Leave to go home, window doesn't budge. Weird. Took the door panel off, checked the switch, all is good. Checked power to the motor, all is good. Pull the motor, plug it in, and it works! Great (****). Pulled the inner door panel and voila! The cable on the regulator got bound up somehow.

Now, let me tell you what a massive PAIN IN THE *** it is to re-wrap the cable onto the pulley, then get it all squared away in the little plastic carrier thing. I needed 4 hands, but was on my own. With the sheer power of determination (and fading daylight) I finally got it all together correctly. Put the inner panel and motor back on, key switch on, and VICTORY!!!!

Next time I'll just buy another assembly. Looked it up, only like $50. Sheesh.

 

Like David said - The weather is nearly non-predictable around here. I don't look at the report until a couple or three days before.

On another weather related note, those that aren't used to the ultra-diverse flora of the southern Appalachian mountains might want to pack some allergy meds. I have a black car, but lately it's been more yellow with pollen. Seems that the plants are outputting earlier than usual this year. Sucks to have a big sneeze right when your about to nail that apex...

 

Car cleaned and waxed. All fluids fresh or topped up. Brakes inspected, bled and adjusted.

Last batch of beer brewed and ready

 

Just got back from the front end shop with a fresh alignment, needed since I had it all out for my brake upgrade.

The sad part was I had to leave the first place cause the front end guy didnt understand what I meant by negative camber, I couldnt believe it!!!

 

New tires mounted, plugs & fluids changed.

Now I'm ready




.

 

OMG - Probably didn't understand caster or ackerman either. That's whey you start to think about going crazy with a level garage floor and slip plates and caster gauges to supplement your strings, laser levels, and toe plates.

I can't understand why I'm not rich

 

So 1 day left And Already having trouble sleeping been up since 4:30 am hah.

Still have to make my car's nametag

bought a new wiper , and still need to wash the car its been raining lately and I haven't had a chance to wash it .
