Need to:

Assemble 2 wheels, Mount 4 tires, mount 2 spacers.

Clean whole car (inside and out).

Make shirt.

 

Gotta wash my car tonight and that's about it. Demonspeed lip and TII sideskirts are on

That's after I wrestled with my brakes for a while, swapping in a new master cylinder, and fixing a small fuel leak.

 

Changed my oil last night, realized 2 of my tires are bald, and one of them has all the steel wires popping out. Soooo yeah to Calderon's I go. $40 for one used 16 inch tire mounted and balanced is kind of a rip off, but its my fault for procrastinating until the day before 7stock.

 

Brakes and clutch bleed (showing up with Robert B's old brakes because I didn't have time to get my own big brakes fully built up in time.) Apologies to Johnson because we were trying to have his done in time for the show too. Life is just way too full sometimes... Still when it comes to brakes, it's more important to have it done right than worry about showing off.

My car hasn't been on it's own wheels in more than a month. That should happen tonight so I can finally start the detailing...

 

I got brass military stencils and spraypaint; c'mon over tomorrow!

 

I was trying to get everything ready on my FD before SS, but I finally got my custom made v-mount radiator from Ron Davis just yesterday. It's beautiful, but I don't have enough time to make custom mounts for it and my new intercooler by this Saturday. So I came to the conclusion that I'll be rolling the FC instead of the FD. FC "to-do" list: already changed oil and bled brakes last weekend. Still need to wash and vacuum. That's it.

Here's some pics of my new radiator for the FD.

 

And my new intercooler.....

 

How much did that Ron Davis put you back? I know the Ron Davis radiators I used to install in sand rails were around 900 dollars.

 

i couldnt get the oil lines made in time for the 20b, so mine wont be there. :^/

 

I gotta take a lsat test from 8am-2pm. The raffle is the best part anyway....

 

Let's just say it cost a little more than that. The radiator itself was around $695, then add the shrouding, and the fans (like $170 per fan). Expensive, I know, but they made exactly what I wanted. The radiator itself was the same design they used back when RD made the v-mount radiators for Knight Sports, aside from a couple of minor modifications I wanted.

 

Then would be a clear sign sign the world is falling back into alignment.

 

i just have to wash/wax and vacuum. maybe GUNK up the engine bay. oh yeah... gotta change the tranny mount tooo. easy stuff! im not stressin

 

I finished everything now i need to go and rent a trailer.

 

Lessee... tonight I put the lugnuts in some naval jelly, cleaned the rims, cleaned out and adjusted the rear drums, juiced up the tires, and about a dozen other lil things.

Tomorrow should be stress free, just cleaning. & I may fiddle with my front plate mount a bit, fit an old-school m-trix frame around it or something.

 

I'm just stoked to have a car to bring this year!

 

Doning an all nighter...i have alot of **** to do...and then when auto zone opens i still have more stuff to do...

but im going to make it

 

damn i cant even put up my new tII lip cause the it wont line up right due to the previous owner dinged the bottom of the frame support.. so its all twiked a little =/

hopefully i can at least get my rims mounted and then ill be a little happy

 

any one bringing parts to sell or swap out there???

i got a few item up for trade

 

I dont feel bad anymore since Im not the only one

 

Haha, thanks, glenn. But I've already got my stencil cut.

 

Nicely done!

Crap, it's hot outside... 105 on my patio thermometer. Show must go on, though.

 

I got some parts im bringing with me that i already sold...what you looking for


Hahahaha...I haven't slept yet...im getting tired here and im rounding 2pm in the later after noon...You should get a good laugh at this...My car dont want to start now after the rewire lol...630PM I have to pick up the trailer and load her up...
Were pushing 91 down in here in imperial beach...and i wish i was boarding then working on this damn car to tell you the truth..

 

need some center ac vents (not broken lol), shift ***** if any, flash to pass lights, 20mm spacers with extended shanks, and some fog light housings that actually hold the fogs to the bumper....and anything that i can add to my s5 that i dont already have =]


i got a wink mirror 890mm with both ***** but no brackets, s4 side rear wedges, s5 fogs if i dont use them, NA oem replacement clutch (ebay brand), s5 lip but i will leave it at home, and some 5x114.3 white r1 rims with tires i will sell for $200 (comes with all center caps and wheel hub spacers)

 

Hah, I was thinking the exact same thing. At some point I will say enough is enough... I guess I haven't crossed that bridge yet
