Official 2016 Carlisle Prep Thread

[Lvnmarks]

So I'm a little excited...

Some stuff getting done before I get there:


1) Sub Frame Connectors (done)
2) New air shocks
3) Cobra Brake
4) Fix P/S leak
4) Full detail

What are you upgrading/fixing before hand?

 

[Lvnmarks]

These are going on this weekend.

I should take a close look at the brakes, and give 'er a good wash and wax.

I'm really pleased that I just don't have much on the "fix it" list this year..

Does swapping the transmission count as prepping for Carlisle? :embarrassed:

Yes, definitely!

I haven't had a chance to start my prep yet, I've got that nasty yellow sap from a maple tree to remove.

 

[driller]

Yes, definitely!

Well, I best get that started then.

Don't worry JP. You're way ahead of me anyway.

Your poor car is going to have an identity crisis. :laugh:

Got the 'ol girl all spruced up tonight...

Beautiful 97, great wheel choice!

 

[Lvnmarks]

Those Octi's are so much of an improvement. Very nice!

 

[steve]

You will need to do it again in two weeks

I got everything but an engine detail done last weekend.

Do I need to bring that big inverter - or converter - or whatever its called...

the big power making thingy that turns car electricity into house electricity...

I guess what I'm asking is... what are power needs?

 

[tixer]

I don't know if Driller has any "secret plans," but I can agree that it was a bit of a pain in the rear to use.. Hopefully we won't need it.

 

[steve]

Unless it is hot and it can power an AC unit I say don't bother with it.

 

[driller]

The Z should provide enough power for our needs?

 

[BadSax]

Unless it is hot and it can power an AC unit I say don't bother with it.

It probably could actually... I think it's good for almost 4000W

The Z should provide enough power for our needs?

The Z does have built in "house power" but I just checked and it's only good for 150W...

So I guess the question is, what might we want to power?
