Lets hear what you guys are doing to your cars for this event.
I bought two 4'x8' sheets of 4 mil thick coroplast this morning and will start building my belly pan. I too will be going alternatorless and bought a deep cycle marine battery. I will fit a shorter belt to connect the crank damper to the water pump.
I've also disconnected the electric choke thermostat [which is a constant electrical draw] and will simply wire the choke open. Windows will be up all the way no matter how hot it is on August 23rd. I will have a cooler with wet towels in the car to put around my neck while driving with no radio [or any other electrical accessories] on. I also bought one of those wooden beaded seat covers to keep my back from sweating on the seat.
This is all in addition to the other mods I've done since last year like, taller final drive gears, narrower tires, moon disc caps, lowered suspension, and all synthetic fluids throughout.
OK, how about you guys?
