I guess its time I posted here...
Like the title says, this will be a maintenance thread as the car needs very little work, mostly basic maintenance and some customization to make it more my own.
A few weeks ago I purchased a 2003.5 MSP, the car is set up for NASA TTD and would fall into FP for autox. I still need to go through the rest of HPDE so I'll need to put in a passenger seat for a while, but once I get my TT license it'll go back out.
Some of you might recognize the car, its been on a couple of magazines and is well known in the Great Lakes region (maybe Mid West?) in TTD. Don't know if she had a name before, but I named her Gina (after Gina Carano). Why? Well, she's hot, sexy and if you're not careful she will ******* kill you (seriously). She currently holds 3 track records for TTD:
- Mid Ohio (Pro course): 1:38.997
- Grattan: 1:29.099
- BeaveRun: 1:09.929
Goals
- get used to how she drives
- change the color scheme from baby blue to bloddy red
- go through HPDE and get TT license
- try to get the times listed
- have fun (and maybe kick some ass)
Things to do in 2013
- change both drive shafts *done
- change front wheel bearings *done
- see if I can fix the fuel gauge
- relocate oil temp and pressure sensors to get an accurate reading (maybe add a sandwich plate)
- remove decals from PO *done
- apply my own decals *done
- drive (already signed up for a day @ Mid Ohio, might do an HPDE with NASA, the Pro Solo in Toledo and maybe a couple of local autox)
