The bad luck continues

Got a hold of a welder went and rented all the equipment...gOt started and then got called into work so had to call it a day. The welder asked for payment as he promised to return the next day and finish the task. I sat waiting on my front steps most of the day and he never showed. Out my cash, out the equipment rental, out my gas money and still no cage in my car....not to mention what a waste of a day to sit on the front steps and wait aimlessly. Bad things happen to good people over and over and over again! 15 more sleeps till CSCS let's see if I have a motor ready come Monday...my guess knowing my luck is going to be that I don't!

Lets hope tthis never happens!

A little bit of a scare plus an eye opener as to how there is no reset button on life!

Check it out: CSCS season opener crash

Got a front lip on the works and cage is getting welded in today!

"I'm picking up your cams tomorrow morning"

The reassuring words that I was left with...3 and a half months and the wait continues.

Got a wing installed...doesn't look to shabby lets see how well it works!

A fish out of water....

So the CSCS opener was great...lots of cars lots of smoke, hope the driver of the Subi that flipped is okay! Definetly know what a washed up whale feels like being out of the water...having to sit on the side lines and watch was not an occasion for celebration. Nv auto's car looked hella fast and hopefully I'll have a running car for the next event...fingers crossed!

Tick tick....

10 hrs to season opener of CSCS no running car and I still can't fall asleep:(

11 weeks...two missed events and still no motor :(

My 2 cents for the day is that if you want your motor built for a event in june...drop it off in January when there is two feet of snow outside...FML!

The frustration continues...

So I guess I should apologize for not posting more frequently but everyday has been more and more frustrating than the last. I missed driving school which I'm still bummed out about bummed about but i guess it's happened to others in the past. Met up with the owner of Canada's fastest Subaru to pick up a rolecage which he gladly donated towards my project. I've test fit a number of times and have actually managed to track down a welder as well that will come to my house and weld it in. Pretty hard to move the car when it doesn't fire up. Motor was dropped off first week of march....10 weeks later new issues keep popping up and its still not together.
Few things that have gotten done since my last post are:
1. back seats are out
2. car is vaccumed and dust and metal shaving free
3. slicks are installed all the way around

5 days till the CSCS pre registration deadline...I hope I get to run!
Lets see what the verdict at the motor shop will be tomorrow morning..keep your fingers crossed!

Thanks to all the followers!

Roll bar where are you?

 Carpet...check!
Seats...check!
Rollbar...doh!

Carpets out, race seat and harness is installed and trying to find a welder who will weld me in a roll bar for next to nothing. Tight on cash as I need to pay for more and tune so it's going to be an interesting week. The countdown to Time attack school has begun and it's 13 more sleeps.

A few pics of the install!

and they said it was a school so I decided to be a good student and get a head start on my readings as well.

Test fit...

So I would like to apologize for the long delay in not writing but its been a rough time with work and family so I'm back into the swing of things starting today!

Did a test fit on the wheels Sunday after work and here is a quick snap shot of what it looks like...
