New Year, Same Great Event, 20 days left!!!!! what's on your todo list?

speedjunkie · 04-04-2011, 09:21 AM

I'm not really worried about cruising AFRs and all that, I could do that myself. It's the "in boost" stuff that I'm not comfortable with haha.

And I think I figured out the alternator. They powder coated the insides as well as the outsides and I'm being told the alternator uses the housing as a current path, so I have to disassemble again and scrape off the coating in a couple places, I just have to figure out where to scrape lol.

Well it looks like I won't be making it to DGRR, for a couple reasons, both tied to the same thing lol. Because of the gov't shutdown, I will be getting only half a paycheck AND all projected leave is cancelled until something is worked out lol. You guys have fun. Maybe I'll see you at DGRR12.

^ That seriously blows. Sorry to hear that man, I know a lot of people affected by it.

speedjunkie · 04-08-2011, 03:19 PM

Thanks! I wasn't sure I was going to make it because of money anyway, that and I'm not sure I'm 100% confident in the car just yet. Thanks though.

AAHHHGGGGGG!!!!!!!
Working on my car going 1 step forward, 2 steps back.
3 weeks to go.
But I'm still pretty sure I'll get it finished in time.

I was 40 minutes away from not going either!!! HAHA

I'm still in.

speedjunkie · 04-11-2011, 01:43 AM

^Where are you driving from?

I might still be in, still depends on money LOL, and I still have to ask if leave was still affected even though they didn't shut down. I've got a little over 100 miles on the rebuild at this point, and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't get the rest of them completed before the trip but my AFRs and EG temps look decent so I'm not too worried. I just told Zico I might still go, but he and Simon aren't going anymore. I'm not sure about others around here.

Apparently Simon still got only half a paycheck, so I have to check mine now too. But hopefully even if we did we will get the rest of the pay on the 15th.

Also, I still want to change my front fender setup. I currently have the Shine Auto Project custom fenders on the front, test fitting them for him, and a lot of people want to see pics of them apparently, so I was thinking maybe I'll just leave them on so people can see them in person lol. And they're still unpainted and un-modified in any way. Even without fender vents lol.

I am coming from Hampton Roads, VA

All military is getting full pay, it may come in 2 paychecks, both on the 15th. So you should be good.

speedjunkie · 04-11-2011, 09:19 AM

Oh so you're not TOO far then.

Cool. I REALLY want to make this still. I have to check today about leave.
