The officially Official: To-Do List Thread DGRR 2014 Edition
 

What plans do you have to get your car ready for DGRR?

Let's here it!

Burn it down and start over?

This... all of this.

I need to get to this event at some point.

Hope and pray to finish my Cosmo FC..... Gunning for the angry guy's best FC trophy.

Hopefully I can go this time and right now I'm working on just the suspension.

Where to start?

Oh ya, need to finish what I started last year and didn't get done

Second that. Still not even close to getting last year's list done. I'm definitely not an overachiever. :lol:

Finish the GTO widebody inspired fenders for my FB.
Front splitter
Possible rear diffuser
Build 13B race motor
Tune said motor

Help both sons get their 7s ready for the event..

This.

Since I sold the RX-8, I really need to get on this whole Cosmo thing....

Would love to drive my car down to DGRR

Would need: chassis wiring
finish fuel lines
put rear end back together
make driveshaft
exhaust
re-tune
realize I did some of the above wrong so back to square one

rinse and repeat!

yusss! We needs some Cosmo lovin's.

figure out how to get back and forth in a few days so that I can attend this event ... videos of the Dragons Tail make it look like a narvanna .... the year I make it may have to ship the car there fly in and pick it up then ship it back and fly again ... I so hate flying lol ... but tearing that road up in my 78 would/will be so much fun wooot

Since this years theme is Year of the old school(I think I heard that somewhere)

I hope to take my GSL-SE but i have lots left to do.
If not I guess I'll have to take the RX-8 again. :D




.

well I can fork out the $$ to get the 8 ready and for the epic rotary gas budget or I can just ride the motorbike up... :leaving:

Only if its a rotary powered motorbike ;)

Well I am currently hemorrhaging money buying a house, and the 8 needs quite a bit of work before I am willing to take it to the dragon, so it may come down to DGRR on the Cbr or no DGRR at all. We shall see though

I've heard awesome things about the DGRR.

I need to get my motor from the mountains of Tennessee and get it installed and running!

^ DGRR is a great event, you won't be disappointed.

Everything still...

things to do..

put gas in it...

Id love to get the RX2 back up there but it would take quite a bit more than the FD, so ill probably just end up bringing it with a few more goodies than last year. The never ending list never gets done.

Bring the Duece, Everyone and his little brother has an FD:beatdeadhorse5:

I hate you. :(



:lol:

ditto

Possible rebuild...

I need to deal with my smoking turbo... No one will want to be downwind of me otherwise! Either sending it back to BNR for a 2nd rebuild job or DIY the rebuild this time.

Infuse your premix with essential oils pick any scent you want at your local hippie store.

92 days and counting......

:eek:

Didn't need to hear that.

My can should finished up at Vin Auto shortly. Then it is just a matter of waiting for April lol.

Me neither..... FC is still in storage tranny is still broken... Procrastination is the best motivator..... Wait.... Wit ?!?!?!?

I don't even have a list......:o15:

I don't think the Cosmo FC will be road worthy by then so I'll just tow the racecar unload it and slay the dragon...... I'm anticipating a ticket for noise.

:smilielol5: I got one of those.... after I left Limerock which has noise restrictions.... that cop was such an asshole. Wasted a day of my life to go up to the inspection place for them to listen to it and say the same thing.... yeah, that cop was an asshole.....

Hmm I have never had a loud exhaust ticket. Even driving the FC n/a and the FB with just an exhaust Mani.

Even the 70 something Monte Carlo with the headers turned upsidown and made into stacks shooting fire. Black windshield roof burnt. Cop laughed his arse off at that one.

Bimmer had a straight pipe right out the middle and was very loud.

Wait had a warning for exhaust on my 88 b2200 that had a pace setter exhaust and was really quite....

Should have been like wait we can solve this here and done a waste gate to the face full throttle blow by!! Save some time anyway...:o16:

I had the trailer in tow.... oh wait... that didn't stop me on the highway in the past :lol: He was such an ass about it... I told him I just came from Limerock where they have actual sound metering equipment and I was fine. He told me I was too loud, Oh... so your department has the sound metering equipment. He says they do, but they never use it because it's too cumbersome to carry around in their cruisers.... Ok... so can I see the latest calibration reports for your ears YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!

So to stay on task here.... the RX8 to so list

Fix power steering
Fix the failed fuel level sender
Replace the torn MAF sensor O-ring
Build a place to neatly mount the 2-stroke oil pints
Remount the rear view camera
Wire up the sunroof to vent and auto-close
New shift knob and boot
New plug wires and plugs
Repair some ignition wiring
Refinish the rims
New front tires
Detail the interior and exterior
I think that's about it....

Idk what it is about my car but at our local autocross I banged a 101.2 decibel in the straights. Idk why? I have 3 mufflers all in a single 3" exhaust.... Maybe should put a turn-down or a silencer on the end.

Turn down would make a HUGE difference. I know that is the only way Carter's FD would pass dB at some tracks.

Dolphin tail FTW!
