The SoCal club racing "off season" of 5 weeks is upon us so I put together my list of maintenance that needs to be performed and it looks like I'm going to be busy...
- Remove 15 lbs of weight (to counter the added weight of the oil sump skid plate)
- Replace instrument cluster (to get fuel gauge working)
- Replace AOS (I interpret the occasional big puff of grey smoke when exiting a corner as a warning of impending failure)
- Replace ignition switch (occasional weird electrical gremlins)
- Replace fuel filter (maintanence)
- Replace brake pads & rotors (worn out)
- Bleed brakes and clutch/top up fluid (while I'm doing the pads/rotors)
- Replace windshield (heavily scratched from debris impacts)
- Replace spark plugs (maintenance)
- Replace fuel injectors (they've never been touched and they can't last forever)
- Replace drivers seat (out of certification date for 2018 and want a containment seat anyway)
- Install front radiator screens (protect those new radiators that we installed in March)
- Find/fix wiring fault for cool shirt system power (come summer that cool shirt system is pretty nice to have)
The task I dread the most is replacing the ignition switch. That job looks to be even a bigger PITA since the cage blocks access via the drivers side floor. Its going to be a busy 5 weeks.
