SHITE! 52 days!

http://www.timeanddate.com/date/dura...&y2=2010&ti=on

Go go go! :D :driving:

Meanwhile I just got a Stage 2 XTD clutch for my RX-8. Trying to debate on whether I really want to go through that headache again or if I'm just going to pay for it to be done this time. Once the new clutch is in the 8 will be ready to roll. I'll have to go with the original brakes since I have no cash to get better ones at this time.

Duration calculation results

From and including: Tuesday, February 23, 2010
To and including: Thursday, April 15, 2010

It is 52 days from the start date to the end date, end date included

Or 1 month, 24 days including the end date
Alternative time units
52 days can be converted to one of these units:

* 4,492,800 seconds
* 74,880 minutes
* 1248 hours
* 7 weeks (rounded down)

LOL! All I got left is the new rack kit from RE-Speed!

FYI:

49 days til DGRRX

Also, 181 signed up as of today.

This year is turning out to be the biggest plus some quality cars are signed up to attend.

Damn, and I've still got to decide on a clutch, get the flywheel resurfaced (or purchase a lightweight, still haven't decided), and then put the poor girl back together.

Oh yeah, and pull the gas tank to fix a leak. And install some new seats since the 3rd gens didn't work out so well. Sure doesn't help that I'm working 12 hour days six days a week! But come hell or high water, I WILL BE THERE!!!!


:)

WOW! That's incredible Phil, how many were in attendance last year?

Pssssshhh! Don't even talk to me, my car is still upside down on the rotisserie, I turned the corner this morning regarding putting it back together, finished the priming ~5:30 this morning, interior today, undercoating tomorrow, back on her feet Sunday..... and I still need to BUILD my own fuel tank :rofl: 49 days... WOO HOO!!!!,

yea, i kinda know how you feel...
6 weeks to get my motor in hand, put into cad, assembled and swapped in, broken in, and tuned and dynoed before the event... @_@ my head is swimming and I'm starting to get nervous it wont get done...

Kinda like me last year..... pulled a few allnighters and got everything done, squared away, set, tuned, dynoed and life was goof. I woke up wednesday before the event, went to work, came home, worked through the night with some finishing touches, went to an emmisions test thursday morning 3 hours before departure and they overheated the engine, blew a turbo oil feed line and fragged the waterpump. 11 hours late we left and I set a record 44.5 hours strait no sleep... I don't intend to break that this year but with two cars to get done in 49 days, one needing complete paint and a rebuild, and mine having NOTHING on it but a fuel filter and a wiper motor.... I think I'll break that record :rofl:

I'm so fucking excited though

Speaking of which I think it's time for me to go spray some interior sound deadening and some undercoating

Zgn has invited me to come up this year with him. I trying to make plans to attend the event. I hope no minds having a 300zx tag along.

Yeah, I've seen your pics! But hey, I'm not a psychotic superhuman like you are, so cut me some slack. :)

I don't know what your family situation is, but a wife and three kids tends to eat up what little free time I have after work gets through with me. :o11:

Best of luck with your build, I can't wait to see it in person.

Just so long as you bring up the rear so as not to hold any of us up ;)

:rofl: I really should buy stock in RedBull.... I pulled into the 24 hr CVS last night at midnight after an emergency run to work in 7" of snow to steal some tape. Ran in, grabbed 3 Redbulls and the cashier asked,
you sure three is enough?
Yeah, one is for backup.
I see, so are you plowing local or State?
:lol: Neither, trying to build two cars in 49 days
We have specials on 4 packs next week
:rofl:

No wife, no kids, 3 cars, 2 dogs, 1 boat and a pissed off grumpy neighbor :smilielol5:

Thanks man, good luck with yours as well, gotta remember to find you and meet a bunch of people this year as opposed to the chaos of last.

All you guys talking about the mountain of work you have ahead of you to get ready for DGRR got me to thinking about my own heavy duty task list.

1. Wash car
2. Wax car
3. Check tires and fluids

Whoo, boy - I am buried, too. Think I'll go watch the Saturday morning car nut shows on SPEED. :biggthumpup:

I hate you so much right now :rofl:

Yeah, well, a guy's gotta do what he's good at, you know. Besides, you shouldn't be on the internet, anyway - you should be reassembling! :)

:rofl: Couldn't at that time, was waiting for the underliner to kick. I'm around the corner though, a few little things to fab up.... and one BIG one - my top secret fuel cell :suspect: then I can reassemble.....
