Default One week left, are YOU ready?

Only one week left! woot! woot! Are YOU and your car ready for DDAY2? I'm not, but my car is. I Changed the engine oil, tranny oil, and diff. oil, this weekend. I need to get in some practice already. I've been watching and re-watching The Drift Bible to familiarize myself w/ ALL of the techniques so I can try various ones on different corners at the track because some of those techniques are way to dangerous for the street. I wanna drive my car at the track like he drives the AE86 on his video, BALLS TO THE WALL!

So what have you DONE to prepare yourself and your car for "THE DAY?"

Well I hope for your sake that your car isn't too neglected on its maintenance because I know driving around a race track at almost redline the whole time isn't exactly good for the car.

Tonight:
Installing NISMO two-way Mechanical LSD
New steering rack (thanks to Josh only1.3)
New tie rods

Sometime this week:
Changing oil, etc
Breaking in LSD

Friday:
Going to see Atreyu; From Autumn To Ashes; Eighteen Visions; Anterrabe. Hopefully that will chill me out so I'm not too nervous Saturday.
