Last minute Mitsustyle Cookout Projects
What does everyone else have that they are trying to complete at the last minute to make it to the cookout on the 26th?
I am almost done with the spyder AWD swap and just need to put in the transmission, smim, and all the hozes and wires. I am pretty sure ill have it mostly together by tomorrow but having it all tuned up is a different story so that is what I'll be doing during the week.

Re: Last minute Mitsustyle Cookout Projects
Prolly just do a little engine detailing on the Evo and some spray detailer. I've done nothing but drive the car since Jan so no last-minute mods really necessary  Hrm, maybe I'll do an oil change....

Re: Last minute Mitsustyle Cookout Projects
Put the interior back in, finish filling the holes from where the spoiler used to be, paint the parts that I did work on for filling the spoiler holes, figure out a way to hold the gas door shut since I shaved the lock on it, put the dash back together since I gutted it, and finish making my gauge mounting plate, and hook up the gauges that go with it.
Also, I need to put together some stuff under the hood like the hood latch and radiator overflow bracket since they were nasty looking and I had to repaint them.
Other than that, probably just a wash, wax, vaccum, and oil change...

Re: Last minute Mitsustyle Cookout Projects
Wash, wax.
I've given up on the oil leaks that I have. They never go away no matter how much I mess around with trying to fix them.

Re: Last minute Mitsustyle Cookout Projects
Clean my car, maybe get the tune finished. Also, get it ready to sell. It might have a for sale sign on it at the cookout.

Re: Last minute Mitsustyle Cookout Projects
I got the FWD tranny out of the spyder and am going to clean it up a bit before I put the AWD tranny in tomorrow. Then it is just reassembly of little things and a tune from there.

Re: Last minute Mitsustyle Cookout Projects
I love to hear about the last minute projects. Keep them coming.
I'll just be happy to get my cars cleaned up. I'm done with my Stealth already. I buffed her out last Thursday and put it in the back of the garage with a car cover on it. But I still have three more to go. Ugh.
Of course, I have about one million other things I have to do this week. Its kind of stressful, but I get pumped just thinking about all the awesome Mitsus that will be there on Sunday.
later,
Curt
