DGRR 2012 To Do List
SO I figured I would start the thread this year, as we have usually had one!
Replace trailer lights, and all new braketry (thanks neighbors with riding mower) ON the Dually: Both front tires replace Front Steering stabilizer On the 84 ITA RX-7 (deep breath) Finish the front wheel spacers/adaptors on the mill/lathe Finish the front brake caliper mounts button up the front brakes swap out the rear brakes for TII brakes also rear axles fabricate rear spacers/adaptors decide if I am going to replace the damaged front fender, and valance.. or go with the Mandeville style GTO Body kit. (Very Probable :D.. was the plan till the brake conversion took over) Balance the reciprocating assy for the 6-port Eprod motor. Assemble it clutch cover for 5.5" Quartermaster :drool5: install it wire up Wolf 3D 4.56 Exhaust (Fairly unlikely) Take apart the former Jim Bonsi dry sump 675 hp NA hill climb 13B go over all the parts and re-assemble install wolf exhaust |
1. Pull car out of garage.
2. Put fuel in car. 3. Check car is good on fluids. 4. Drive car to deals gap. There's a couple more I'll throw in there, but I don't have the energy for perfection right now. :) |
I'd add my list, but I did that last year and ended up blowing my engine and didn't have enough time to be ready for DGRR. So...yeah. lol I'm MAKING it this year dammit.

Well Zico SAYS he's definitely going this year, but we'll see if we can finish his car too haha. And one other person is coming whether his car is ready or not, and we may have one more coming with us. Once I know for sure that I have leave approved I am putting my money down.

A lot of WTFs on your list B -
1st... Haltech, you feeling ok? I have no issues with haltech, but running anything than Motec in your camp is like cutting off the little toe - you don't really need it but you feel damn good when it's there. 2nd... rotary miata???? seriously??? I hate you... |

As for outputs.... can't really depend on her to watch the gauges and even at that they are less than accurate. So I'll be using some outputs to trigger LED warning lights. Can't do that with the Microtech.... also, the Haltech has the "Engine Saver Function" :rolleyes: which could come in handy. I'm actually debating putting the OMP back on because I'm not entirely sure she'll remember to pre-mix the damn thing.... even though there will be a case of pints of premix in the trunk, it's getting her to remember to do it.... so yeah.

He want's it done by late March... actually he wants it done by late feb so he can ship it to Sebring to go plat... I laughed at that timeframe |
Thats pretty sweet though on the miata - one of my ultimate bulids if I ever had the chance to do it. I may have to make a trip up there when it's done so we can see how it rides before getting it shipped off!
Agreed on the Haltech over Microtech. You'll have your fair share of Haltech experiences in your new spot at Dave's... matter of fact, pretty sure you're getting one delivered in the next few weeks, lol... |

Also of note.... the most used tool in the Dyno room is my multimeter. Seriously. There are more wiring problems to fis than anything else. The one I pulled in earlier tonight had the MAP sensor wired backwards. So when it fired up it was being fueled for 30psi :rofl: Fucker actually ran too. Fixed that problem and now it won't start.... Oh well... hit it tomorrow.... sleepy time now...actually time to go home and eat. Will you be accompanying the deliver of said haltech in the coming weeks? |

Plan A: The FB.
Basically rebuild every part of the FB. Rebuild 13b HBP motor Find out how to get the 13B engine an trans installed. Redo interior Upgrade suspension Upgrade brakes Paint exterior There's also going to be a lot of fabrication going on. Plan B: The FC. Depending on how the FB is coming along, like if its not going to be finished: Rebuild oil-leaking turbo again Reinstall turbo setup Find out whats causing the light throttle issues and fix it. |

Well I registered a bit ago, so here is my list, although not all inclusive. I'll try to finish as much as I can, but as long as the car is running and it's reliable enough to drive, I will be going whether everything is done or not.
-Install new turbo with new manifold, downpipe (need to get DP and mani made still), and wastegates -Make new VMIC with new mounts -Make new mounts for radiator -Duct IC and radiator -Install new hood, duct VMIC through hood -RS-engineering anti-surge system -Figure out if engine is burning oil (or if it's the current turbo) and rebuild if needed -Might install aerocatch hood latches, or maybe old style, depending on how bad hood is flexing -Install oil catch can (once Adam finishes making it lol) -Make undertray and install ducting to brakes -Possibly install new FEED bumper -Install Tweakit diff brace if it's finished in time -Possibly install tranny brace -Put on new wheels That's pretty much it I think, those are the basics anyway. |
On the FB:
Install RE-Speed TII brakes all around with 5x114.3 Moser axles. Install new aluminum rad. Probably have to do some custom bracketry for this since it's thicker than the stocker so the fan will hit the front pulley and the fan won't fit in front because of the sway bar. A little FC style angle is in order. (Maybe) Make aluminum inner door panels and redo front speaker pods. Buy and install the following: PERFECT wheels. New tires. New better seats. Fender roll/corner balance/alignment If money and time remains, new exhaust then dyno tune. If not then just dyno tune with the RB exhaust. |
