Since I'm entering in Nopi, I spent the weekend installing parts on the car, reinstalling most of my interior, and cleaning it up.
So far...
1. Pivot Sequential Shift Light - Installed (Works PERFECTLY, best shift light (and smallest)I've ever seen).
2. My son polished my diamond plate mats thruout the car.
3. Some CF vinyl work, and my wife finalized the construction for the center bar covers. They are gonna look GREAT!
4. Ebrake boot installed, seat heater switch assemblies installed. (I NEED A RD2 Manual SHIFTER surround!)
5. Polished my Whiteline rear strut bar, will install it today.
6. Ran my XM Antenna and power cables. Found the perfect spot for the XM antenna's, totally hidden from view, perfect reception in all directions.
7. Reinstalled dash, lower dash, (First time it's been in in about 2.5 years, LOL). Only one light that 01Tibby fixed isn't working.
8. Tucked all wiring and such away, it's unseen.
9. Installed the Turbulence spare tire cover with some neat stuff around and under it. I'll take pics when it's done.
Today...
1. New catch can installed hopefully.
2. Eibach struts if I have time.
3. Interior detailing.
4. Fixing my trunk lights.
7. Whiteline Rear Strut Bar.
Wednesday
1. Install Blue FAL 220 Fans
2. Install Samco Sport Silicone hosing thruought.
Friday
1. Full pulley swap.
2. Install 2 4 inch cold cathodes in the trunk to light up the plating and cover.
What have YOU done to get ready for the season?

LOL Yup.
I'm still gonna do a few of them too, but I need the right colors.

see REDZ... that's the best part about Ricer car shows. It gets you pumped up to show off your ride, get those parts installed that have been sitting around for 2 or 3 months... it makes you take care of your car, wash it, wax it, treat it like you did when you first bought it.
I love show season, especially the pre-show clean up wink1.gif

Well, most of it for me has been needing a garage. Now that I have one, I'm at awe in how much I can get done.

Mine has been ongoing for about 2 months, but everything has come together great so far. I have changed just about everything on the car.
