I was just about ready to brag to my wife yesterday about finishing the car under budget before I realized that I had better make sure that I am, indeed, finished. I'm looking for the thoughts and opinions of everyone one on car prep. This is the first year my MG is going to be back out on the track since it was rolled (not by me) several years ago. All of the roll damage has been repaired including new A-arms, shackels, wheel bearings et al. Here is what I have done:
complete professional engine and carb rebuild. Everything including dizzy, oil pump, carb rebuild, and some fun bits.
Wheel bearings
master cylinder
total brake overhaul (Hawk black pads, rotors, drums, lines, pistons, caliper rebuild, etc)
new driver's suit, shoes, helmet, gloves
5-point harness
arm restraints
ultra-sheild seat (spec miata)
5 lb fire extinguisher
autopower roll bar (since the last one was "used")
New Yokohama A032R's (soft)
Pertronix ignition and coil
The car already had:
Minilites
front "fast road" springs
negative camber a-arms
delrin bushing throughout
uprated front anti-roll bar
added rear anti-roll bar
de-arched rear springs
stainless steel brake lines
You know, now that I have put it all down on paper, while you are giving suggestions on what things I should attend to before hitting the track, could you also remind me why I spent all this money?!?!
