It's finally here! Like the title says, what do you have left to do for DGRR?

I busted it over the weekend and am pretty much done. Need to install a few parts but they are not here yet. Other than that ready to go. This is my first year not having to drive up from FL. My trip from Asheville is a little over one hour so I am pumped!

 

All that is left is to make the RX-8 shiny.

Might try to get the trans and diff fluids changed too.

 

I changed the oil and trans fluid in the TII on the weekend. I'm leaving today to start the journey. 30 hours of driving here I come!

 

I need to do some more cleaning, change out my intake filter, and check all my fluids, then should be good to go.

 

I just need Steve to finish the CYM so I have something to drive

He will have everything pretty much done today and I will head up Wed PM to stay the night.

 

Cleaning, buffing, packing for the 4 night stay in the cabin This is my big vacation for the year so I plan on making it "count". No way am I going to have time to resurface and paint/clear coat my rear spoiler but oh well, she isn't a "show car" so I am not too stressed out, we are there to drive! I wanted to get my new springs on but they won't get here in time

 

Final got it tuned and pick-up on Sunday, full alignment and new battery this evening. Leave tomorrow at 5 am to make the top of the Blue Ridge Parkway by tomorrow evening. Hope I have not forgot anything, should be asleep but I'm pumped.
cheers

 

hoping my new seats get here in time!!!

 

still have to change the oil and finish cleaning it up. probably should replace the fuel filter since it's kinda over due. not that there's any problems there, still screams like a dream.

so u decided to drive the T2.

same here. this is the only real vac i take out of the whole yr.

 

Just got back from DC. Waxed the 7 before we left for that, so I guess I just need to install the front under pan, clean the cig lighter (dirty contacts make intermittent connection with phone charger) and I might clean up the stereo surround a bit.. We will see. Oh, and put a tool kit in her and gotta get gas... Driving from AVL as well, so not too worried. hehe. :-)

NOTHING left to do to the FC, I'm ready to roll!

 

I'll be missing it again, I hope to get the fd done this year and get get the bugs worked out for 2013. Have fun and be safe to all of you. Drink some for me lol

 

I almost made it this year. Drove up monday to SC. But will be coming back to fl this weekend. Long story. Maybe next year it will be on the last week of april instead.

 

Hey Pete! Drive safely. My father in law (David) and I will be there. Let's hook up for a drive.

 

Considering my Rx-4 still has no rear axle in it, I really didn't have a choice...

 

Sad to hear that Noel. Let's get together for a drive after DGRR.

 

I'm in, looks like the weather is going to suck Sat-Sun, but they say Fri will be dry. Planning on doing the Friday AM drive again like last year. Safe travels to you too, must be nice being an hour's drive away!

 

Yes, also doing the Friday morning drive.

 

only 30% rain now sat

 

Yes saw that. You know how it is in the mountains. Wait a few hours and things will change

 

very true

 

i was hoping to make it this year but still in the paint booth...next year i plan to be there! I hope yall have a great time! Take plenty of pics for those like me that cant make it....

 

Just have to pack and load when I get off work today
