No plans here.

The buggy doesn't need anything- it's all new

My Summer projects: chill at the lake. B)

[Randog]

Not sure what I'm going to do:

I spanked the trans bearings my first season with the 2D.

Had it rebuilt, and now I got 2 seasons on it since then.

Anyways I'm debating having it gone though again.

Some say do it, some say don't.

I am pulling it out of the car to do the clutch anyways.

Also:

Heims need replacing (as always).

I should buy a new front wheel or two (Flintstones). They got tubes. :dance:

My brake pads are worn on an angle. I've heard they may jam the caliper pistons if I let it go.

Repack suspension bushings and wheel bearings.

I'm sure I'll find more as I dig into those projects.

:dance:

Oh yeah, My buddy wants to paint it.

I know that won't be cheap.

Well I going to wait just a little cuz... like Pete said Lake and River Here I come.

In the mean time work a little on the buggy.

[vegas style]

thinking on selling the quads and getting a mini rail.......

i can always pick up another quad later

[barneycar]

The lake sound good but we just started new testing and it will go all summer long 12 to 14 HRS a day six days a week. This wont leave much time for summer fun.

I'm having my car powdercoated with a special light refracting coating and then I'm going to use plexiglass panels instead of aluminum. It will be the official INVISIRAIL.

I just got rid of the tiki car and picked up a Sand Limo. I have replaced the belts, front tires with three ribs, got a gps coming, new tires for the rear coming and got it painted. It has a Nissan VG30 turbo in it. Not to familiar with the turbos so I am not sure what to do with that. Here are some pics of the new and old paint.

its a change for me ..for once, when i had my race truck it seemed like i did more time prepping and working on than racing and having fun, so with quads its way easier
