fit new discs and pads
fit new stg 3 head, roller tips, new inlet, and LCB manifold
fit new engine steady
fit new bottom steady bushes

Remove sub, amp, and boot liner, re-wire PS2/screen
fill boot with essentials!

buy,, and fit roll cage maybe harness, not sure yet.

cure the oil leak that seems to be coming from the middle of the engine?

give engine a PROPER service about week before run, flush oil, and coolant, change HT leads, sparks, oil filter, clean K&N

fit standard air box back on, the night before the run, so i don't get deathened by the K&N!!

thats about it really, all camping gear i have in my festival reserves!!

and beer- buy it over there!!! MUCH cheaper!

OMg thats alot to do!

PS.. ROB a bank to fund all of above!
