Default Operation make my car not suck...: Tampa Bay

Alright. This is a call out to my fellow Tampa Bay 944 folks.

My car is currently in trouble. Here is the list of things I need to do.

Belts/Rollers
Shifter boot thing from travis
New Stereo
Fix A/C
All four corners wheel bearings and new disc rotors
Add Brake Ducting
Reseal brake calipers and Paint/Clean
Rod Bearings
Oil Pan Gasket
Possibly Oil Cooler Seals
Re-balance Fuel Injectors
R and R either FPR and/or Fuel Damper

Later Added nonsense: (Typically after drinking a sugar free red bull)
Install Pillar Pod
Install bradcam oil-temp sender
Boost Gauge
Oil Temperature Gauge
Take over world

Maybe:
R and R the turbo with one that doesn't leak as much
Vitesse Maf

This is all I can think of right now. I know I had previously said I was going to do this two times before. But, as many of you know, my school schedule is insane. Anyways, my last final is on the 4th and I have managed to negotiate for an extension on a piece I have to write.

So, I will be started on or about the 11th of May. I will be going until on or about the 26th of May. Any help is greatly appreciated. My younger/unknowledgeable about cars brother is going to help me.

What I offer:

I will regale you with endless Florida Gators Sports Stories, including the time we won the national championship, or not, however you prefer
Beer
Soda
Food
Beer
Hot weather
You get to watch me bust a few knuckles and drop random wrenches directly on my face
Beer
Gatorade
When we are all done we can drive it
Hopefully with the airconditioning working

My first day at my job in DC is on the 30th and I move into my temporary residence on the 28th. So, if any of you folks could lend a hand for even a few hours it would be great.

I have to make this car work because I am not completely sure if I am going to be buying myself another Daily Driver after this summer or not. I also cannot miss another DE. I'll be doing this at my 'rents house in Clearwater.

All work and no DE make Gator_86_951 go something something.

Having now received a number of PM's. I have a great deal of experience working on this car. So, I am not all that slow. . Also, I don't need the car to go to DC. I will probably not be taking it with me. Also, I will be completely off school that entire time.

Editted to reflect intentions. Also, if I run over time, my brother will be continuing to work on the car while I am working in DC. So, he might need some direct pointers etc... while I am away.

We shall git her dun!!!!!!

The best way to make it not suck is paint it Garnet and Gold!

Only about 140 days to college football season, the trash talk is starting early this year!

Gator, I would help if I was closer.

We are apparently confused on the technical meaning of "suckK here counselor. I suggest you find a handy dictionary.

Thanks for all the notes guys. It will work out, but I have to get this pile of garbage into shape to where it has airconditioning, a stereo, and I can actually drive it at the track. I need more brake cooling and I really need some coil-overs. It is not the $$ holding me back on the coil-overs it is the time.

Maybe we can squeeze that in too. *Looks around*. BUAHAHAHA

RE: Crazy Mexican and Jeff. Thainks for the offer, but Florida doesn't have sufficient burritos to sustain Juan. Unless you like pressed cuban sandwiches, in which case I can just drop you of in Ybor for a few hours a day.

A/C is for wimps. That being said, i think the A/C still works on my 944-NA, although i've never tried (no need for it here in SF). Andrew, i'll trade my NA for your turbo...
