Hopefully my car will be ready by May sometime. The only thing holding me back right now is daylight, money, and .... well that's about it.

Project MKII Gti on the way :twisted:

I dunno, chad has the lift and twice as many cylinders to worry about, so he gets my vote Wink

You gotta throw some credit towards Pete. The man drives to Bowie from the Burg to bust his ass on someone else's car.

Good job Pete.

-change oil
-put in XP8 pads, once they arrive
-bleed brakes one more time
-hook up stereo

see how much money is left

Dave.. Don't forget to hit me up if you need an extra hand on the SE-R.

All the projects are coming along great. Should be a blast to see them hit the track.

Who is going to be there friday that can lend me a hand at the comp school? I need some crew.... maybe an umbrella girl too but thats pushing it Wink

I dont think I will need anything other than moving the car up to grid, and helping me out here and there - tire pressures, torquing lugnuts looking after the car, etc. VIR is easy on equipment and I wont even need to rotate tires until the end of the day.
