I know, but I've got a LAN and a party on that night.

Is there much of a chance the day will stretch over onto the 19th?

I intend to get some of the work out of the way on Friday afternoon/evening. If anybody is out that way feel free to drop in. Last time at UA's we managed to get the gearbox out even before the real dodgy day had begun.

So I think if we look mainly at getting the swap done it will be completed on the day.

Well, JBT, Red5 and myself started early and spent a few hours tonight getting the motor ready to come out. Should be a good day.

Some of the dodgyness that happened tonight below, those bolts can be tight. :shock:

Luckily it was a rattle gun. Someone should have told the guys who built the car that the bell housing bolts didn't need to be torqued to 200,000 ft/lbs :shock:

Awesome day guys! Red5's car started first go (okay second, but the first one didn't work because the battery wasn't connected right... :roll: )

My roof looks SOOOO SEXY! Gotta love glass window, you NB/NC drivers don't know how crap plastic windows are!

Can't wait for the photos! 8)
