I can't wait. So anxious to get cone scuffs all over the new car.

I'm very pumped about getting back out there this year. I ordered new plugs & wires, the oil pressure sensor and nwe shocks. While I couldn't go for the Koni's right now, I felt a good new set would be an improvement for now.

Yes. My new engine checked out clean in the Cobalt, and Im excited to finally get out there and give it a go in her.

Howdy,

Also, I should note... I'm _not_ ready for autox season to start! The list of shit to get done is still pretty damned long.

But I'm looking forward to it being done and getting back out there!

^^^THIS!^^^ But yeah I'm excited to terrorize in the Neon! Also, I'd like to drive other stuff when possible. I had such a blast in Travis's Porsche at that one AH event last year. (And I can't tell you how proud I am that I was only a second behind him and in the Top 5 in PAX and raw time) RWD and R-comps? YES PLEASE.

Definitely ready for the season.. but my car needs all my new parts on it.. so March and April are going to be very busy for me.

I'm always willing to let someone co-drive the car for a small price ( tires aren't cheap ), or possibly a fun run or two.

@ CEP last year, a few people took a spin and claimed "wow, I could get used to THAT"

Yeah I had a real holy crap moment when I realized that the first NHSCC event is in 5 weeks.

Definately NOT ready yet. At least half the parts are here, so I have something to start with while fedex becomes my new best friend.

r_bt · « **Reply #9 on:** February 28, 2011, 08:25:43 PM »

I'm not sure if my budget is going to allow me to start the season with anything better than a bone-stock car on factory tires, but we'll see what happens. I need wheels first and foremost.

<---- still procrastinating....

same deal half the parts are here. still need to tear down the engine and get an alignment

*sigh*

metalsaber · « **Reply #13 on:** March 01, 2011, 07:45:14 AM »

Still quite a bit left here as well.

jerdeitzel · « **Reply #14 on:** March 01, 2011, 07:49:38 AM »

Hell, I've been working on the car since Dec and I'm still not done. And just as I predicted, I'm getting nickle and dimed to death on the finishing touches. I'm like most govt projects, way over budget!

DarkHelmet · « **Reply #15 on:** March 01, 2011, 07:50:58 AM »

Still waiting for my boxes of maintanence parts to arrive.

Depending on how things shake out due to some changes in my driving situation, I might be doing more work than I originally planned.

AH event #1 ( shakedown for me ) is still over a month away.

Car currently at McB getting the A/C removed. All parts are in and being put on the car. Plugs, wires, brake pads, disks, tune up,
949 racing 15x9 6u with new toyo R1R's. Should be ready for a test drive next week.

If you have a hard card, registration for New Jersey Pro opens 3/8/11. If not you can register 3/22/11.

Hard card registration for Deleware National Tour is 3/15/11. Regular registration opens 3/29/11.

I can't wait for sunny days and 2g turns.

After Ethan dropped the bomb and made me realize I only have 5 weeks left, I went and bought my new front LSD. Only 2 more things and then everything has got to go on...

Habib88 · « **Reply #18 on:** March 01, 2011, 11:16:57 AM »

I'm already banking on the fact the Civic won't be ready by the time NHSCC rolls around. I ordered my bushings almost two weeks ago and still haven't got a shipping notice. Meh, least I can test the boxster and see if the shocks are finally functioning correctly!
