Getting close to the start of the season- what do you have left to do?

[BlackSpeed66]

Hmmm... let's see...

Finish up rear wheel bearings & do oil change (today)
Flush brakes
General vehicle inspection
Test Drive!

April 3rd isn't too far away

[e30_325es]

Put more miles on the s50 swap. Get a tune (just ordered), finish up the final details of the swap.

[Emre]

For the E30:

• finish up Accusump install
• order new R-compounds
• new Lemforder control arms
• new M3 C.A. bushings
• tighten up the shift linkage
• replace broken Cibie Euro-code headlight
• figure out why the hazard lights don't work
• figure out why the antenna doesn't work

All of the above will be done by Turk and Levent at Guten Parts :nice:

[Massive Lee]

First event on May 10th at Calabogie.

The M3 only needs an oil change and a seasonal inspection. I will probably fit the newer version of the front Rallye kit instead of the prototype I currently drive for a year.

Will also weld the solid subframe mounts and some urethane trailing arm bushings.

[Jean]

First autox is few weeks away, looks like I'll have to miss it.

Still need to do pads/calipers/fluid.
Get rid of h&r sports and install gc coils/camber plates.

[SA E30]

Install engine, run wiring, fit front brakes, steering rack, windows, and gauges, mount tires, setup suspension.

Oh and our season started a month ago.

[lennon]

Put trans and clutch in swap car, fix/figure out fan wiring and install SPAL fan that I don't have yet
Pull and replace trans in rasta car and fix a few things

Break in clutch in swap car in time for 3/28 autocross

Ugh

rasta car?

Probably a car that leaves a huge trail of smoke...

[nando]

not much that *needs* to be done.. just replace my front SS lines (I had the E36 lines, they're too long), bleed/flush, and do a valve adjustment.

of course I also want to replace the HG, rebuild my konis, and do an M42 rad swap, but those aren't needs. :p

[2002maniac]

This will be the first season in 5 years that I won't be tracking my E30 :(.
But, I'm very excited to see how this porsche thing works out :).

Still have to:
replace VC gaskets
Bleed brakes
Roll front fenders to fit 18x10
adjust ride height/corner weight/alignment
mount battery, reroute cable
re-do seat mounts
try to buff the scratches out of the plastic windows

long term:
pare down crazy wiring harness
paint inside/out
full cage

[Dave]

Spent some more time tonight in my adventures in bondo . . . hoping to get that repair done by the weekend. Before I go to bed, I am going to tear into the wiring diagrams in the troubleshooting manual so I can prepare for diving into the window issue.

Mechanically, the car is now good to go.

Instructing at Street Survival weekend after next and I'll take the car out then.
