To-Do List DGRR 2015
 

No to-do thread yet?

Anyway for me, I have to fix an exhaust leak on my FC which Ive decided to resurface all the flanges, fix a broken stud, and replace gaskets.

I have to do nothing because I am not going..

Clean fuel tank, a few minor things, break in new motor.

No pressure.

New tires on the truck-done
Oil change on the truck-done
Completely new brakes on the truck-done
Load up tools and junk in the trailer-done
Gotta gas up the car and go through her tomorrow.
Putting more money in the tow vehicle than car SMH.

Mount new Bridgestone RE760 tires and probably new Hawk HPS pads and rotors on the rear. I would like to do new struts, but probably won't before the event. The O.E. ones are starting to show their age, but aren't leaking yet. I have to take the converter back off too, because we just ran through emissions.

1. coolant leak on intake
2. oil leak on oil pedestal
3. replace hawk brake pads cause they squeal so bad I can't stand it
4. change oil and coolant while I'm at it
5. check exhaust hangars all around
6. Clean some waffle wheels up
7. maybe do something with the air cleaner for the nikki.

I think that about sums it up this year

Put gas in the MR2...
Cause I have no time for the 8 this year.

Epic fail for trying to clean out the tank the 'easy way'.

On to Plan B: see if the tank in the white car is clean (since it was on the road in the last 2 years), if so it will be swapped.

Otherwise, Plan C: I have ordered a POR 15 Fuel Tank kit. That'll work, but it time intensive.

Last ditch, Plan D: drive Deathtrap.

Buy beer, pack, put gas in someone else's car

Dj that's everyones plan D

Get Tires, install new brakes, gas up & drive.

Ha Ha, that's essentially my plan if the 7 isn't ready minus the gas part since I'll just simply drive the daily worse case scenario.

The 7 To-Do list:
-Install wire harness I haven't received yet (hopefully soon)
-Install coil mount I haven't received yet (hopefully soon)
-Assuming there's no issues with parts mentioned above then. . With help, get car tuned and running efficiently. .

After those it'll be all the standard things like tire pressure, fluids, and wash

Some more boost tunning on the AVCR boost controler:smash:
A few small things on the custon FMIC setup
clean
gas and go:auto:

Decide which car to drive.
Change oil. kick tires. wash off bird shit. go.

Can't wait to see this sexy mofo again^^^

Plan B is a failure. Tank is just as crusty as the other one.

Plan C is a go, but it hasn't arrived yet! Dammit Amazon!

Fuel Cell?

55 gallon barrel in trunk?

No $$ for one. Unless Speed1 wants to sponsor and hook a brother up.

Not enough HP to carry. :)

No Mad Max Cosmo? :(

Poor mans fuel cell, line it with a garbage bag.

:rofl:

Hope the POR 15 works, I want to see this at DGRR.

:smilielol5: Soemthing tells me DJ thought about it :rofl:

No need for a gas tank.... this could work...lol

.

This might work for test firing and set up. Lolz.

POR-15 kit has FINALLY been shipped.

Its so refreshing to not have an exhaust leak!
FIXED!!!!

So i ditched the RB mufflers and put on an N1 muffler that i bought from Reese.
I Tig welded the pipe from the N1 to the RB presilencer, Because the stud that I cut short from along time ago was not providing the tightness to properly seal, and of course the studs won't come out. So the whole system only has 2 gaskets, hehe.
I also made a homemade silencer for the exhaust tip. 4&3/8" down to 2&1/4".
The exhaust has a nice deep sound to it.
Love it.

POR 15 fuel tank cleaner/sealer kit is being delivered today!! Wednesday I am taking the fuel tank to work, and using our 300 degree burner pressure washer to blast it out, then use the kit on Thursday when I'm off.

Wish me luck!

Luck. :suspect:

Just had an interesting conversation with one of the guys at POR (Advanced Coatings). They said that if after the tank is pressure washed and cleaned, if there are no leaks, pinholes, or traces of rust in the tank, it isn't necessary to use the Metal Prep or Sealer.

If that is the case, it just cut down my work my about 70%.

Burning the tank today, cleaner tomorrow.

Early success!

Brought the tank to work today, and used the pressure washer with a burner to blast out all the scale and sludge, BEFORE the POR kit is used. 75% of the scale and nastiness is GONE. What remains should easily be eaten up by the POR Marine Clean, which is happening tomorrow.

No pics, since my phone is at 10% and failing.

New ACT clutch installed w/5spd jdm RX-8 trans.

Now I just gotta get my new tires mounted.

Mount em the 4x4 way! FireVac!


Wait balancing too eh? Never mind....


Edit: I haven't tried with a lower profile tire... Gonna have to try it sometime.

Lol... Id mess that up :eek:

Just gonna drop them off at the tire shop.

Yeah might leave some burn marks not something you want to do to your nice wheels.

Fun though!

New tires mounted, currently installing my Banzai Racing REW low profile oil pan.
Great product!!!

This is so much fun :cheers2:

I like doing things at the last minute...lol
