Snow flurries= SALT SALT SALT

[SlowWhite]

So what is everyone doing for winter projects? I'm still in termoil over getting a new motor or just spending the money on my bike, which I plan to race next year regardless. But was at the track yesterday watching the races and saw 3 people go down. no-one was hurt but seems like a lot more accidents happen with bikes, so which would be more expensive? repairing a bike or fixing up the eclipse?
Would love, to just once be able to have my car running perfectly so I could actually see what it'll do after all these years. But I doubt that's possible with my car cause no matter how much I try it never seems to happen.

My plans for the winter are to hopefully get DSMLink, and cams for the car, and an exhaust system for the bike. I'm thinking the bike may take priority, followed by Link.

do u have that grey 2g??

No I have the "nice looking lowered" black Eclipse Spyder AWD!! Sorry Blageo23 had to say it. :)

anyone is welcome to parking lot races with the rolla.

I plan on fixing my boost leaks, testing diff. springs in the car, maybe a new/reconditioned head. Hvac cables need to be installed.

apparently the problem i had with power dropping off was my throttle body gasket being non existent.

I was out of town Wed - Sun. I didn't realize they dropped salt sometime while I was gone. Although tonight I saw salt being dropped on 94w. That marks the end of the season for me.

Winter goals are a second 255 and a second fuel rail/system for some corn(including E98) in the spring. A Shep stage 4 would be nice as well. And maybe a second 3.5" muffler of some sort, I must be getting old.

The eclipse will be cheaper than the bike going down very hard. They are so light that they don't take crashes well. Subframes, swing arms and frames like to bend. If you are going to race, start in a lower class, usually a SV650 is a good choice. Racing is TOTALLY different than riding on the street. I am sure you won't believe me, but it is. Start with a bike that won't scare you because of the shear speed. That way if you crash it, you don't crash your street bike too. Or just fix the eclipse :D

I've got a busy winter coming up, 255, twin 14b's, not sure if i'm going FMIC or dsm smic's yet, and probably struts and cv boots. Alignment and dyno time. Maybe HG or just replacing a bunch of hoses, havn't taken the back part of the engine apart to see where the coolant is coming from. Also fixing the lifter tick... busy winter.

Ahh yes, forgot about lifters, I will be doing those as well. Anyone got any?

My last mods of the year are going on tomorrow (ported/coated exhaust manifold and coated SS o2 housing) then I'm done modding until spring. I should have plenty of power to get me through the snowbanks!

Speedfreak - you're Moe right? What ever happened to the NSX?
