I know everyone is rushing to get things done to their car for the shootout, what's on your "to do" list?
I'm polishing my valve cover this weekend, installing my intercooler piping also, getting my exhaust done early next week, installing a manual boost controller, Painting my brake calipers, puting in new headlight and fog light bulbs, changing my oil, balancing my rims, making a catch can, and installing new spark plugs....whats on your list?! I can't wait to go.

Well....... it all depends if I can make it or not. I reeeeeally want to go, but im prob getting my clutch & lsd put in that weekend. So depending on when we get done with it, will determine if I can make it or not. Anyone know approx. how long this will take to install?

Make sure it isn't leaking oil anymore! It shouldn't be, now that it has a fresh valve cover gasket.
Besides that, get air int he spare tire and actually put it back into the car then wash it and give it a little bit of special detailer. That should do it, as it now has the right cams in it and it's running well.

lets see here: -Finish the stereo install -hopefully get it lowered -give it a good ole cleanin (one of my freinds is going to detail the whole car for me, he said it will take him between 5-6 hours ) -repaint some of the interior pieces that have chipped -oil change and inspection of the engine to be sure everything is in working order i'm sure there is more but thats all i could come up with for now.
