Jim, what all do you have to do to the crx? I'd hate to see someone not make it due to a few small things (same boat I was in for the past 2 autocrosses). I seem to take CRXs apart for fun so I'd be glad to help you out some if there's something you need. I'm unemployed right now so I've got some time on my hands other than possibly driving to Fayetteville at some point tomorrow.
I wish it were only a few small things at this point. The current list includes: new timing belt + water pump, new crank pulley, finish the bushings, put the suspension back on the car (with a proper alignment), new brake hardware, new header, finish battery relocation and install a new intake. I'm probably forgetting something unfortunately. Oh yea, install a new clutch.
With the forecast tomorrow and no garage, I just don't see it getting done. I'll get to most of it, however. I think even if some miracle happened and I was able to get all of it done, I would feel a bit nervous about driving 5+ hours to Atlanta with that much work just completed on the car. I'd feel a lot more comfortable having an extra day to drive the car around locally to make sure nothing fell off (which is entirely possible given my mechanical skills).
The plan was to get as much of it done as possible by Thursday but after wasting so much time on the stupid bushings and having to deal with life, it didn't work out too well. I appreciate the offer and may look you up next week if you're really bored and still want to help.

Thankfully all of the problems that confronted me this week should be gone by next week allowing me to get the car ready.
