  • Sigh, wrenching till the wee hours

    Yup, seems like this is the way it always is before a big race.

    I've made a lot of progress.

    1) New throttle cable in
    2) bottles relocated to trunk area
    3) new trunk shelf perfected
    4) rewire bottle warmers
    5) redrill and tap my spare tb for nitrous
    6) new tb gasket
    7) new tb screen
    8) make my own tb coolant bypass
    9) put et streets on
    10) crank shaft position sensor relearn
    11) install light weight battery
    12) put spare parts/ tools in bird
    13) put helmet in bird
    14) install spare tb (not ported :( )

    Still to do:
    1) change from N/A plugs to nitrous plugs
    2) change front brake pads
    3) once over for fluid check
    4) install nitrous/ fuel jets
    5) test drive N/A
    6) wash bird? [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]
    7) get race gas (GT 100 octane)
    8) once over for EVERYTHING check
    9) start car and make sure it runs

    I'll probably update this through the night... sometimes little breaks are needed!

        All that could be done in a matter of 3 hours, EASILY. Breaks for front only would take like 20-30 minutes if you have to use the stocker jack, and can only raise one side at a time. Washing the car should take the longest, maybe an hour if you just wash it and dry it meticulously. Changing plugs should only take 30 minutes on a car with headers, that includes gapping them and reading the old plugs.

        Get some sleep, this will help your RT's and such...You've aleradyy finished the hard work James. GOOD LUCK TOMORROW, stick it to the FI cars [img]smile.gif[/img]
