Assuming all goes well with the new transmission install, I will register tomorrow! I'm kind of giddy about driving my car for the first time in 4 months, and on top of that I've got lots of new toys to play with too!

Let's see, for this year I should have:
A VLSD transmission with 10k miles on it. New 3rd gear. All gears detailed, deburred and shot peened. All shift forks detailed. All new bearings and seals. New 5th gen clutch to replace my SPEC stage 2 POS. Shifter from a 97 Maxima (they shift smoother) that has been cut 1". Custom Sentra poly shifter bushings.

Darius' steering rack from his totaled 97 Maxima since the aftermarket 99 rack I bought wasn't set up quick enough for my liking.

Battery relocation and custom air box.

Camber plates with upgraded bearings.

Aluminum steering column bushing.

And an NWP engine torque link!

After driving around a 5 cylinder Acura for the last 4 months this is gonna feel sooooo good.....Now I just need to find some nice roads to put 500 miles on the new clutch before the event...any suggestions?

So Josh, did you ever figure out how to drive your car with the new suspension parts?

Why would you need to put miles on before the event - makes no sense. Once you are in 2nd gear, you shouldn't be shifting at all, thus very minimal clutch wear. Just take it easy on the 1 - 2 shift.

I think they should have to pay $5 for each extra registration. Call it a nuisance fee.

Sweet! We're allowing subie's in X2.

Mr. Higgins - what 328is are you bringing that qualifies as a Modified car? It's nice to see that I'm going to get whooped by some n/a cars

I guess I was more concerned about the launch, but you're probably right.

I'd just street launch it. You're not going to lose any time at all by grannying it off the line.

Sweet! You should have no problems whooping me. I'm just running street tires again, so anyone on good street tires or comp tires should womp up.

It happens....good luck tomorrow! Danny's got a real shot to get into 3rd. The two Type-R's are out of reach, though.
