ITRCA

My caR is finally running again. Please feel free to post up your list of "To-do's." Here is my laundry list of items:

-Drop transmission and get replacement MFactory fourth gear
-Retune, Dial in Cams (Jack @ P1 Auto)
-Mount K1s (Done)
-Purchase front brake pads (Done)
-Purchase replacement front sway bushings (HardRace)
-Bleed brakes
-Swap Rear Hatch + Glass (This will take place at expo if anyone cares to help)

install the last couple bushings (just bolt on)
front swaybar endlinks (hardrace)
retune with Yack

Our lists are pretty similar

-Hardrace RTA bushes - done.
-finish getting bushes pressed (my guy has the rear parts...need to get him the fronts)
-re-install all sussy arms. New Hardrace endlinks front and rear.
-alignment
-bleed brakes
-finish refinishing OEM wheels. I have 3 sets of rubber....1 set of wheels right now. haha

Uhh a bunch of crap, but I'm still not 100% on being able to go, and even if I do I'm not sure I'll have time to go on track.

-Replace rotors
-Flush brake fluid
-Swap shifter back to stock
-Raise car and get alignment
-Possibly replace sway bar endlinks

or

-Sell car and co-pilot drive to Expo with Nate and Nolan.

-Bushings (complete as of yesterday)
-Alignment (hopefully today)
-Bleed brakes
-s300 and tune (later this week)
-replace starter (starting to shit out)

maybe
-pic selects/front & rear camber kits/another alignment

-retune on the dyno by Yack (now that it is warmer outside)
-buy and install shifter bushings (D-style)
-fabricate a muffler delete pipe (ghetto fab)
-wash the outside and clean inside
-pack car (include a full size spare) (helmet/tool bag/spare oil/clothes/cooler/sleeping bag/cot/etc.)

Finish paint and assemble heR back together
Flush out OEM brake fluid for ATE fluid
Weld-in oil pan baffle plate or Moroso RR pan....haven't decided yet, depends
Install oil cooler
Mount RE-11's to Slipstreams
Install Speedbleeders
Replace RTA bushing
Alignment
Finish tuning
Replace front discs & f/r pads (at expo)
Install f/r camber kit
Paint UKDM wheels CW
Install wiring for UKDM fog lights
Install 99-00 Si radio for the trip

Making this list made me realize I need to get the ball rolling lol

Umm...I need to update my list as it has shrunk and grown at the same time Currently, there is no trans on the car, and the trans is open and in many pieces. That needs to be fixed, as well as some rear brake work, t-belt, etc. I will need some time, thankfully, it's only April.

for now, flush brake fluid

Did you already get your Expo Raffle transmission parts installed?

Install short shifter to go along with the shifter extension
Mount RE-11s
Change Oil
Get a new sandwich adapter or find a better way to mount my oil pressure/temp sensors
Drive 100 miles on the stock ECU so I can pass state emissions, re-install powerFC

No, I wanted to but I don't think I'll have time and I still haven't gotten a hold of Chris, so I'll just shut her down after expo and send him the tranny

I got the hard part done last nite.






Now my list consists of:

Take to the track to test.
Oil change
Brake fluid flush
Possible pad change
Figure out which side skirt to put on the car

Thats about it unless something unforseen happens.

My prep includes:

AGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!

Translation: too lazy to even think about it, because it will require money, haha.

:beer smiley that we don't have/also too lazy to look up:

Initial Prep:
Drive car from Baltimore, MD to Chicago, IL.

Secondary Prep:

Timing belt (about 9yrs old)
Clutch/flywheel
Hondata I/M gasket

Hopefully install and tune the s300

VQ swap?

Definitely do that.

Looks like I might try to shove in some R3's in, trying to see if PIC is nice enough to give an Expo Attendee discount first

and for whatever reason my emergency brake has no tension all of a sudden, gotta figure that one out now or I'll never have a chance of winning the drift competition.

Just screw a big band of 5" wide sheet metal around the circumference of your rear tires

Rip out your center console and make sure the handle to cable connection is snug. From there I would put the rear on jack stands and make sure you haven't lost a pin in the rear calipers (unlikely).
