operation get ready for a shake down

time to kick it into high gear. my club (www.thscc.com) has an autocross schedulded for 9/14 and then there's a track day at CMP in October. If i wanted to make that track day, i really need to get the car ready for the autocross on the 14th to do a shake down. i've come up with this list. it's certainly paired down from my full to-do list, but it should get me where i want to be.

1. order 4 point roll cage (bolt in from kirk) - DONE - won't be here for another 3 or 4 weeks
2. order ground control coil over kit and camber plates - DONE - will be here by Wed or next week.
3. install seat brackets, seats and a friend's 3pt belt
4. fluids - oil, diff, brake, power steering
5. install cv boot clamps
6. put the rear shocks and springs back on
7. put a wrench on every nut and bolt that i've touched
8. tourque the crap out of the axle nuts once it's on the ground
--this get's it driveable--
9. take it to the muffler shop and have them install the new cat and muffler
10. install gc kit
11. get it aligned

i'll get the cage installed with real harnesses later on..as well as the steering rack swap...this will at least get me to the autocross, but it's a lot to do in a week.
