I know there is alot of crunch time going on.

My goal this year was to take car of the little crunch in the quarter panel. Maybe not paint but get it prepped and smoothed out. Don't think that's going to happen as other extranious variables have come to light.

I will however get the brakes on. 13" Corvette HD setup just awaiting me to go pick up a ball joint seperator.

Then I'd also like to swing the new fuel pump. It's really sad when I have to let off at about 4500 Laughing

Other than that I'm psyched about going. Got another trick up some of our sleeves too if we can pull it off!

Oh and BTW... I love driving my car.

Rock on!

It is going to depend on when I get the Audi done. So i have room in the garage. I'll probably try to rattle can over the spots in the paint, but I doubt I'll get much more than that done.

(Right now, I just hope she holds on long enough, to drive up to cows.)

I know, the motor is running ok, minus the blowby. The steering is getting scary though, I need to do something about that.

You coming to Cows Bigdaddy?

I need to pull the engine, replace the main and rod bearings, fix one of the crank pulley bolts that snapped off, install cam, tune new cam, get one of the two hoods fixed/painted.

Not necessary for cows trip but also need to install new nitrous fittings, get bottle re-certified, install shift light.

Other than that she needs a good cleaning inside and out.

i just washed the outside and armoralled the inside yesterday. before cows i would like to do a bit of minor fixing in the interior (re-tuck wires for roof cosole, replace sunglasses holder on roof console)

i also would not mind getting my LS1 brakes on, but don't know if i will have the time. no screw that. THEY ARE GOING ON. all i need is hardware (bolts), and a tap to make the bolt holes bigger. I'm freakin doing it.

i also would not mind getting that oil pressure sensor fixed, but no hurry on that.

"extranious variables"<---- I like that one.

BTW what is Cows?

John, we could always just grab a JY box for the quick cheap fix.

Mikey, when's the motor coming out?
Tuning is cake. Just found out there is an Advanced User option on the C950 that you have to enable to get more tunability! Sweet! I'm torn on your hoods. It's a sweet ride with the stocker. You know my car looks stock so that's kinda where I like. The cowl looks neat too. Probably have to see it in person. You need the n20 together soon so we can go hit the track with that new cam. I wanna see a 10sec timeslip. Time to get kicked off the track. (Might wanna make this after cows though.... just incase something like the rear grenades. I know you have a spare... but if we don't NEED it then we wont NEED it GET it?).

I want to get to the track really bad too. LOL.

Wash/Wax/Armoral/Vacuum will probably be the day before we head to cows~! LOL usually is.

Tony; You need brakes! DO IT!

BD; would be cool to meet you. Come to cows!

I may go.

Well guys, I've already asked for that weekend off, so I don't really have a good excuse to not go. Laughing

The only question is, what car I'll be bringing. There's a pretty hefty laundry list of things wrong with the IROC, but the big two I'm working on now are the tranny and the t-top leaks.

Now I'm stuck waiting for parts to arrive via snail mail so I can get started on the project.

aaron_sk, how the hell can you have 1400 posts and I can't even remember seeing your name before? Shocked

Well, better late than never.... it's nice to meet you! Laughing

Mostly little stuff. Need to remove the windshield mounted phone antenna (no longer used with hands-free kit). Have to get a cover made for the sound system in the back so I have more cargo space. Then the usual clean and detail.

The 89 probably stays home, but new shocks are going on. After COWS, new (to me) larger sway bars, beefier springs and possibly headers and exhaust. Also need to eliminate (as much as possible) some body rattles and take care of the sagging doors.

My car doesn't need much to go.

Jenn's on the other hand gets the 5spd swap and put some 3.73 gears in it.
