mb-lhs 10-11-2004, 01:07 AM i will be washing the car friday night or sat. morning.
thats about it :D
unkut2003 10-11-2004, 01:28 AM Well nothing! Well besides the basic wash & dry. I'm just hoping that rain is not in the forecast. If it is I'm not wasting my time.
razor01M 10-11-2004, 01:45 AM i washed today and was going to wax but i dontthink it needs it but i will be washing again friday, i buffed out the big mark on the side where someone scraped my car driving by, touched up the bumper a bit and mounted my new foglight switch for my fogs that dont work right now thats probably all ill be doing.
Get ready? Am I supposed to have a clean car or something? I got days off of work. Does that count?

well if you desire to clean my engine for me....then it will be clean. Otherwise it shows up as it is. I washed it like a week ago or something. Good enough.

You come here. Or perhaps we can work something out.
Avenger 10-11-2004, 02:21 AM Well.......I changed my ECU yesterday and washed the Laser today in case my carpool doesn't work out. I'm ready to whip all of you at the track in the Laser......but I hope I don't have to bring it.
dakotaquadsport 10-11-2004, 04:28 AM I'm ready to whip all of you at the track in the Laser......but I hope I don't have to bring it.
Don't make me bring the Neon....
Get ready? I'll probably drop as much go-go juice in there as I can and that's how I'm getting ready.
Knightmare 10-11-2004, 10:59 AM Well.......I changed my ECU yesterday and washed the Laser today in case my carpool doesn't work out. I'm ready to whip all of you at the track in the Laser......but I hope I don't have to bring it.
Bad ignition and all, I'l still kick your ass. :p
Avenger 10-11-2004, 04:33 PM Bad ignition and all, I'l still kick your ass. :p
Probably........I can't launch this thing, either I spin the tires like a bitch or I bog it.......AWD would be soooooooo much easier.
IntrepidXJ 10-11-2004, 06:23 PM ugh...what a crappy day.....no XJ at gearfest. it won't be ready

Even if you could launch, he'd still murder you.
Knightmare 10-13-2004, 05:25 PM I just washed the car and cleaned the wheels and tires. I wish it would stop being crappy and drizzly outside so I could finish waxing.
MeanGreen 10-14-2004, 10:02 AM LOL you guys crack me up. I probably have well over 100 hours (at least 2-3 months) of work into this car for the show. Other than mods, that includes about 30 hours of careful high-speed rotary buffing (not by me), wheel cleaning with special rim stuff, calipers, and tires scrubbed. Cleaned all parts of the suspension that were showing. De-grease and dressed engine bay, scrubbing my interior carpets and seats, dressing dashboard, um, I even scotch-guarded (needs it anyway)... cleaned all glass... had my windows re-tinted.... touched up some paint, put in some new turn-signal bulbs (clear!)..... polish and wax all paint by hand after it was machine done... I'm telling you this car looked a.m.a.z.i.n.g.... then of course it rained all week. :( she still glows, though. I'm hoping for a trophy! :D
jhrody 10-14-2004, 11:20 AM :brow2:
It's cool when a chick cleans the carpet. :banana:
MeanGreen 10-14-2004, 11:58 AM Shut up :p
jhrody 10-14-2004, 03:07 PM no, I insist on watching next time :P
mb-lhs 10-14-2004, 08:59 PM LOL you guys crack me up. I probably have well over 100 hours (at least 2-3 months) of work into this car for the show.
I bought a whole new car for this show :D
Well, at least newer....
but seriously, if i still had the first gen, i'd probably be putting hours and hours of work into it as well, as i did for the Intl' Meet. There isn't really anything i can do except for a good cleaning, besides mods which i don't want to do - at least not yet. I mean this car still has the dealer plastic on the floorboards up front. The carpet has never even had a foot laid on it, so there is no reason to clean it :D
dakotaquadsport 10-14-2004, 09:11 PM I mean this car still has the dealer plastic on the floorboards up front. The carpet has never even had a foot laid on it, so there is no reason to clean it :D
Oh we can take care of that.... :devil: :smilie_st
jhrody 10-14-2004, 10:31 PM my Dak has mud in the bed... I can help take care of that too.
mb-lhs 10-14-2004, 10:44 PM NOOO!! lmao!
unkut2003 10-15-2004, 03:46 AM Ok now you guys got me wanting to do something. Here is my Friday's To-Do List:
1.) Tranny Fluid/Filter Change
2.) Wash & Dry
3.) Tire Pressure/Fluid Checks
4.) Pray for NO Rain/Tickets
Wow, taking off the pan. That would a little too big of thing for me to do before a meet...what with all the detailing and such.

I'm DAMN nervous! It's been raining ALL day here and hasn't let up a bit. I am gonna get in the garage and get to it here in about an hour or so..... :biggrin: I'm not really gonna do too much detailing. I would like to wash & dry, but the rain won't let that happen! I'll do what I can.
hope you guys packed you Absorber cloths and Shamoi towels....
dakotaquadsport 10-15-2004, 09:14 PM Just finished up double washing the truck. I will complete the rest in the morning.
I'm still out at my car working on it. I havn't even begun to clean it yet....stupid last minute mods.
But they will work out.
