The Unofficially Official: To-Do List Thread DGRR 2013 Edition

JDriftM · 12-24-2012, 12:04 PM

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?

GySgtFrank · 12-24-2012, 12:59 PM

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.

banzaitoyota · 12-24-2012, 08:57 PM

Paint drivers side of car
Reroute exhaust
Rad and oil cooler mounts

Windshield wipers installed

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

willnordacgreen1211 · 12-25-2012, 12:58 AM

shortblock swap, mount and paint body kit, new wheels and tires, maybe APR wing.

djmtsu · 12-25-2012, 07:01 PM

I'll play.

RX-8
1) sell it

Cosmo
1) rebuild brakes
2) rebuild rear differential (bearings/seals)
3) rebuild carb
4) rebuild front bearings/seals
5) new fluids
6) e-fan
7) upgrade alternator
8) upgrade ignition (electronic)
9) fix some rust
10) tires

Hope all this works so I can drive it to DGRR.

Otherwise
1) put gas in the Speed3

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

2gslse · 12-26-2012, 01:31 PM

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.
