The Unofficially Official: To-Do List Thread DGRR 2013 Edition
 
Lets get it going, post up your post-holiday lunacy plans for your car(s), trucks, bikes, whatever.


I will be posting my list in a little bit, but I will just start with:
-engine build
-EMS install


And I'll ask the burning question we all always have;

What do you have NOT planned but are going to freak and do before DGRR, Brian? :cheers2:

OK, I'll play. Lets seee...

1. Replace rear suspension with full 3 link (in progress).
2. Fit and plumb new Cobra R brake system (sort of in progress)
3. Replace front suspension with Kenny Brown subframe and figure out how to fit front upper unequal length control arms.
4. Make the wheels I bought actually fit. (thus 1 & 3)
5. Annddd make it all look presentable before DGRR.

Just a short little list, nothin' to it. :facepalm:

Kick the RX7 and tell it to finish itself!? Sadly, it'll be a couple years till my FC is where I want it. At least I have the 8 for now.

Guess I can play seriously...
Replace transmission
Replace SSV valve
Replace throwout bearing
Replace end links

I remember that.....well I remember driving by as you guys were working on it.

We stopped and asked if you needed help, but you can only fit so many dudes under an RX-2. Lol

My list depends on car driven:

FD : change oil, coolant , kick tires add gas and enjoy.

FB : pick the car up find tires/wheels to use the available HP, fix steering, detail car should fix trans and add USDM 5th gear instead of JDM one in it that SUCKS.

Getting enough tire under there for that beast is going to be a challenge.
