In order of priority for myself I need to get a new starter, this relatively new hitachi starter is not cranking at all when it gets hot even after a 5 minute drive its barely turning over. New one on order. I will be getting a DEI heat shield wrap with this one as well! Other then that I have a plugged outlet on my radiator thats about due to be replaced. I hate using those cheap rubber caps they show cracks way to early and I dont need one breaking on me at the track. I may run a hose off of it and make it plumb in the intake or something.
Lastly I want to get my mirrors painted and installed along with my hood being repainted so I have a little more of a complete car for race day

 

Replace the passenger side door and get her painted.

 

are you racing that day?

 

I need to burn my rear tires off.

 

I said before, not during!

 

im doing a water pump for preventive. I have a brake squeak that comes and goes from the front brakes. so i will take care of that. and I need to tune more. I doubt that I will be racing. But I might be ready.

 

I have the same issue man. Mine is a Powermaster mini I think, but too much heat that close to the header I believe. Bought some wrap too and hopefully that does it. Let me know if that does the trick for you.

 

Dyno tuning on Wednesday.

Install parachute and chute release handle tomorrow.

Install window net tomorrow.

Fill up eight 15lb bottles of nitrous.

Install new carpet kit to make car resemble a normal car.

Install new slicks on wheels.

Load car on trailer.

Run a 9 second pass

 

I don't know what is up with these mini starters. I have more clearance with my ceramic coated long tubes then I do with an old obese starter hiding under iron manifolds. I will have my new starter installed either sunday or tuesday weather dependant. I am sure no difference will be noticed between then and race day. Will yours be replaced by the 14th as well?

Keep me posted on dyno numbers, off and on the sauce. What color carpet? Red I hope! I also hope to only be ~1 second behind you. rounded numbers of coarse your 9.x to my 10.x

 

Black carpet, to match the black plastic interior. It's like yours, it's starting to look like a real normal car.

Except for it's loud and runs about 140 mph in the 1/4.

 

Nice, nice. Full interiors are the way to go. I am really loving driving mine. Feels like a normal car again minus the cam and blower noise.

 

i need to get my 700 shifting correctly

 

recently rebuilt? or whats going on vasquez

 

not "recent", it was rebuilt about 3 years ago. i finally installed it last week. im "restoring" it. are you handy with 700's?

 

That's how they should have built em

 

Some rewiring to finish, tune, smog, possibly brakes... It's gonna go to the wire. But I'm hopeful. Working outta town 5-6 days a week sucks sometimes.lol

 

no not really all that handy with them. so id assume its not as simple as the TV cable adjustment? Maybe you have a sticking governor....

 

I need to bleed my brakes and get new tires for 16........I have 5 gen 20" but with 2" drop the tires rub every were

 

Next to the tires rubbing all over the place, that has to be an uncomfortable ride, huh? Dropped on rubber bands and limited suspension travel....

 

head gaskets and head machnining, wiring harness change, dash pad, center console, radio pod. probability of getting anything done equals 0 no time too busy at the shop

 

rebuilding my heads and new pistons and lots of tuning maybe the 28th in phx az fastest car shootout

 

He meant for our Nor cal gtg! But sounds cool. Would like to see some video of your car in the future!

 

You have two weeks. Get at it!

 

putting the car back on my insurance and going to the DMV to get my tags legit

 

so your going to be making an appearance Mr. Car of the month?

oh and for the record. I changed my front brakes, changed my water pump, and did an oil change so those 3 things are ready for the track. If I do in fact race. which is very unlikely at this point and time

 

Why unlikely?

 

Tune isnt right. And yesterday I sat around and did nothing all day instead of working on it. So it is unlikely I race.

 

You bum. Only marc and myself will be racing at this rate lol.

 

just got my heads back from the machine shop now gotta get it back together and make sure i have no other issues with it

 

Sweet. Hope everything goes smoothly.

 

U are NOT setting a good example here Cartman!! u have a week to make some sort of progress.. no excuses!

time for a couple all-nighters. U can do this

 

I'll start Jolly to circulate the oil and possibly change it and I'll be working on my shifter karts.

 

Bennie you coming out on the 14th?

 

I do my best!

In cartman voice: "tuning is fukking bullshit, why can't it just run good by itself" haha
