Sure glad I've got A/C in the trailer.
That alone is going to be worth the added cost of bringing two vehicles down there.

I'd love to reprise the FE2 swaybar upgrade that Margaret's car got last year, with an FE2 swaybar upgrade on my 97, but I have been unable to locate a set of FE2 sways. If anybody is game to acquire and bring a set (no, not from stripping them off Margaret's car), I'd be game for bloodying up some knuckles and upgrading my SE. I was also considering a Yella Terra rocker upgrade on my SE, but I wanted to check out John & Margaret's. I didn't order the parts, so that's off my wish-list for now. Bill & the gang will be happy to know my SE is now blissfully Dex-free, with a new radiator (got the `93 rad with the engine-oil-cooler from Radiator Express, can EOC be added to an L36?). I have a full set of spare tails for my SE and a 6-case of nightshades. My Silver Shadow will be getting tinted tails!tpulliam79 wrote:hey wcbf'ers is there any work we know needs to be done to anyones car?

Mrs. Bugsi's GP needs the wiper part of the fuel sending unit replaced, but I haven't ordered it yet, so that's probably going to get done post-WCBF.

That wiper is usually stocked at the dealers. I got mine without ordering it. If it is the same as the one Hans did, they stock it right here. I can check for you if you want, only cost around $40.

That's what I did. $43 bucks with the tax over here and in stock that day. You have to buy the whole kit, but only need the little wiper piece.
Depends on if the car actually comes up or not, but I'll have a few minor things to take care of before race day.

2000 SSEi (Silver Eagle) cleared corners (before accident) new LIM gasket, drilled 180 T-stat, new plugs and wires, new valve cover gaskets, new Supercharger gasket, third brake light overlay. Hopefully soon to start more mods for performance. Also, 2005 White SE totally stock and will remain that way!

Thank you Bob & Vince for your hard work and kindness!!

I just called my dealer, it wasn't in stock and they quoted $51 for it. I just ordered it for $31 with shipping from gmpartsdirect. I've read the writeups and watched Hans' videos. If it shows up before we take off for WCBF, I'll bring it with us in case anybody feels like smelling like gasoline.

Heidi and I are bringing our two boys, Andrew (age 4) and Adam (age 2). I hope to get Heidi down the track in her GPGT on Friday and Saturday, so I'm hoping there will be some people around to keep an eye on the rugrats for at least one ride down the strip so I can ride shotgun and do my best impersonation of P-Mom screaming "GO! GO! GO! GO! GO!" when the last yellow light goes off. Alternatively, someone else can break her track cherry and do try their own impersonation of P-Mom. (Oh P-Mom, how are we supposed to break in the track newbies without you?????)
She keeps looking at me askance with a "yeah right" expression when I tell her she's going to race her kid-hauler. Little does she know the addiction of the adrenaline rush!
