Didn't go to the shootout? So what did you do?

turbotalon1g · 08-15-2008

Well i took 5 days off work to go to the shootout, but i kinda lost the drive to go and money to boot, Doing work on the house sounded more pleasing.
I epoxyshield coated the floor tan with chips and layed a clear coat on it for extra protection.
Sam should hopefully be painting the downstairs Bathroom on sunday.

Also should make the track tomorrow, just need to put on new air filter and new set of tires 235/45/17 pirelli P6 all seasons instead of 205/50/17 BFG KDWs.

Also make the hooters meet, bday party, RKC BBQ/party.

Pics of the floor.

Before shot, there is a lot of crap in there.

Epoxy layed down with chips.

Clear coat:

Now i just have to wait for it to cure, says 24 hours before light foot traffic and 5 days for a full cure, i am gonna wait till next saturday to move everything back inside, hopefully minus the pop machine.
I am also gonna try and patch the walls this week after work and put some primer on the walls, but i have to get more money to get materials to do the edges of the drywall.

I thought the shootout was this weekend?

Anyway, my car would outclass everything else there, so I didn't want to break anymore hearts than I already have.

Or I just can't afford it, don't care enough, don't even have a running car, etc. lol. pick your choice.

More of the same, wasn't going to the shootout anyways.

Might put my light battery in my car. Defiantly going to fix the coolant leak that popped up.

Poker last night with the guys.

Get a few things done on the house and cuise in the Viper a bit planned for tonight. Most likely poker again. If anyone sees my black Viper around Uni tonight, my brother drove it down. He was considering it.

I totally primered the other half of my car and did a vac clean up. And now I figure out why my back brake isnt working. Gotta love my POS. Oh then Hooters

Ran a 11.7@120 and learned a little bit.

turbotalon1g · 08-17-2008

shift early, skinny tires suck, RF is kinda sucky.
I need to fix boost leaks.

dsmdion · 08-17-2008

I worked all day saturday, and then pressure washed my parents house. then I headed downtown lacrosse and did some bar hopping. Today I finished pressure washing the house, and now I gotta put a bumper on my talon, change the headlights, and a bunch of general maintenance. I also gotta paint the fence, but its to damn hot, and I'm to damn busy.

**cmspaz** · 08-17-2008

Went to Hooters yesterday!

And I toothbrushed my rims clean today. Oh, the wonderful preparations for the cookout...
