^^^ I try to do something to the car everyday. Chuck is coming out Tues and Wed evening. Goal is to crank the motor on Wed.

I live about 30 min from the Secret Proving Ground where we keep the Lemons. If you wrench on the car or run our errands, you can crash at my pad. It's more like camping out in a garage tho. Nothing fancy.

You've been there. I'm gonna make you play Guitar Hero!

Today:

Installed (mostly) the S5 fuel tank since its bigger than the S4. Installed the fuel pump. Only a few more things to button up and the fuel tank is done.

Installed stainless brake hoses and Hawk pads. Bled the brake system. A-OK.

Bled the clutch master. Clutch is A-OK.

Chuck vetoed a few of my harness connections and reworked them.

Did a few seat modifications to fit Chuck's BIG ***.

This week is going to be the big one. No one knows what condition the Jspec engine is in. Either it starts up and runs OR we abandon the project until after the Lousyana race. We can always run the pink car. All it needs is its exhaust reworked.

I'll have my girlfriend with me, and I do plan to wrench the **** outa that car, maybe get it running Tuesday? I would'nt be in Houston till Tuesday evening and I know where the proving grounds are, perhaps if we get the lemon running we can do a corvette vs lemon test fire o.O

But if you don't mind my lady as well, I'll crash out there and wrench it most of Wednesday as well. Just create a list and a parts bin and I'm sure I can make something explode.

Actually come to think of it, her mom lives in Houston......... either way, just PM me your current phone number, I'll hit ya up Tuesday (hopefully on the road by 2, arrive by 5? depends on police and how many mpg's I wish to maintain).

As John said, the engine started with minimum issues, grounds can be issues to everyone.

Only have some things to deal with.

John has the video, .....

It maybe running but it is FAR from ready, it is going to talk about 3 weeks to finish, so you do the math on the amount of work left to do.

Tonight, Scott installed the seat and Harness

I got the tires mounted and installed, we got all the lug nuts now

^^^ Yeah - I thought it was the blow off valve until I realized... ummm we didn't hook up the blow off valve yet.

You know you're donating your turkey call, right?
