The officially Official: To-Do List Thread DGRR 2014 Edition

I'm tempted to hook up and bring the empty car dolly. That way I can tow my imaginary car. Besides, someone is bound to break something. It is a Rotary Rally after all.

Still a small glimmer of hope being able to make it..... They are having the Music City Marathon and they close off roads to my shop.

Recently I just finished:

1. Switching from sillycone brake fluid to hi pro blue with a 500+F boiling temp which means all rubber had to be switched out (MC, rear cyclinders, rebuild calipers)
2. New SS lines all around
3. HAWK pads up front
4. Vented front rotors (new bearings etc)
5. All MOOG steering parts (tierods, idler arms)
6. Adjustable LCA (bad ball joints)
7. Cut one loop off all the springs to lower things another 1/4-1/2 inch
8. Made new rear bump stocks (old ones missing)
9. Replaced fuel filter
10. Alignment

And now from sitting at low charge too long while I waited on parts and did all this, a new
battery will be procured tonight. Otherwise ready to go to DGRR!

Hope I see you guys there this weekend. Theres an OGTA cabin right near the lodge where all
the festivities are happening.

Jacob says his is all good.

Once i got on the interstate i noticed a tendency to go right (at speed more so) but not as bad as before, even on the left side of the crown... I'm sure the alignment is fine, but maybe I need to start looking at damage or bending, etc. The car had a front accident before I got it, and I replaced the subframe (not for damage but siezed cam bolts) and coilovers. But even then, it didn't start pulling right until AFTER i got the first alignment with R34 guy. Maybe the alignment before was way off to account for a tweaked chassis? Or maybe the steering rack is providing some light input. I don't know, but i'm not too worried about it as the car drives great on the track and i don't drive it much otherwise.

That's fine just bring it back and I'll raise caster on the right side a couple points.... No biggie.
