Will the ACR be here in time?

[ViperX]

The 09 ACR might be here in time but there's lots to do to it before the it hits the track:

1)  Lower both seats to the floor (have one 2-inch seat lowering kit in stock - one on order from Dave C)
2)  Put 1000 break in miles on the car (I'll be hatin' that!)
3)  Change the oil and filter to Mobil1 15w50 at 500 miles
4)  Put a fire extenguisher in, passenger side floor from Dave C
5)  Install 6 point seat belts - both sides, Teamtech from Jon B (just arrived yesterday)
6)  Get a proper track alignment: Camber, caster, toe; lower the car, adjust the shocks, install adjustable end links (on order) for the sway bars, install nylon sway bar bushings and corner weight it
7)  Have clear bra installed on the front, up the hood, on the mirror backs and behind all four tires tires
8)  Install E-brake relocation kit (have in stock)
9)  Order a new set of front tires - Hoosier R6 in 315 x 30 x 18 (have a set of rears. 345 x 35 x 18 in stock) and mount them on 18 inch SSR or Forgeline rims
10)  Install G2X Racepak timer
11)  Install race brake pads along with new stainless brake lines, change to Motul 600  race brake fluid
12)  Buy and Install Belanger headers and exhaust - DC (this can actually wait a while, if I can!)  This should add about 60 hp & tq.

I'm sure I'll think of some other things too .....

I'll need some seat time to get the beast up to speed, but it shouldn't take long.

PS  Got the 01 GTS ACR back today and he's running very strong.  New clutch, l/w flywheel and Gen III trans is much smoother than the previous one.  He'll likely get the nod for this weekend.
