There are only 100 days remaining before the WCC. Will you (and your car) be ready? Time is running out. Rich has proved that he can build The Alien from the pistons out in less time. What about us mere mortals? What do you still have to do? Post your progress to embarrass encourage others.

Man I hope to. Break in engine, finish road tuning then dyno. Deal with assorted little things like oil leaks air leaks in the heating system, vacuum leaks.
Oh ya I have to pull the gas tank and fix my airbox. Too much cold air gets past the seals.

Nope, still have not found a 3.2 to put in the 2.7s place, and right now engine bay is stripped and almost ready for paint. I will start a seperate thread soon. I may still fly out and rent a car (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

Geez!! Way to freak everyone out! No my car's not ready. No, I'm not ready. I haven't registered, I haven't paid, I haven't booked the hotel yet, and my car's been sitting under a cover for the last two months! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) Seriously? 100 days? That's it?

My cars are ready, I'm not, but that's another story.

For all of you flying in, suggest renting Ford Focus (Foci?). They are surprisingly track ready and we can have a separate class. Buy the extra insurance (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

I've got to fix my battery tray, replace the rear springs and shocks, as well as trailing arm bushings, install front and rear sway bars, and procure a helmet. I also might be putting in those 'Pep Boys Special' racing seats. Oh and an alignment probably wouldn't hurt either.

Not my problem any more, oh beautiful eyed one. Andy's in charge of program so you'll have to deal with him (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

totally not ready yet. can't even think about it for another month or so. but then i'll need to strip/paint the engine bay, install engine/carbs, replace fuel pump, do some wiring, tune the bitch, align, front wheel bearings, rotors, pads, and a few other things i'm forgetting.

2-3 weekends worth of work -- i ought to be okay.

Im in the same boat as nebreitling. I need to strip my engine bay, prep car for paint, por 15 interior, fix a tiny bit of rust, install carbs, install engine/trans, and install new m/c (not in that order of course). I'll be there in either my 914 or 912. One of the two will be done.

Don't forget road testing. I'm saving 30 days for daily driving. So I only have 70 days to finish up. If it's not running 100% yet, I'll tow it down and only drive it little bits. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Now about those fees. How many people can we fit into a hotel room? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)
