Yaaay! i love these threads!

BeaterX gets more maintenance. Check on cam clearances, it's noisier than I remember when its cold and its been burning oil ever since I burnt up that spark plug.

MR 2-piece rotors, gotta get them turned
Testing the new Girodisc S/S orange pads, hopefully they stack up to my beloved ferodos!
Fresh brake fluid
finally found some wheel spacers & extended lugs, gotta find time to install them
New rims?
Other than that, plow snow with my X :)

I heart you too.

The only thing I want to do to the Genesis this winter is install some lowering springs on it. Maybe buy some wheels if a deal comes along... Ridin' on dubs bishes! :D

That kinda sounds like fun! I wouldn't mind helpin!

snow tires

psh that doesn't count! They should be on already :P

Gonna chip it and cam it.

Big bore kit for the scooter - 65mph

You talking about the same thing here? I wanna see 88mph + a flux capacitor on that hog

For awhile I was debating changing the fuel system some and having it setup for E98, but, decided I should just leave it alone.

Leave it, enjoy it :)

MHI upgrade? Not really a prototype, but probably needs some real world testing and some board love to sell.

Why MHI when we have MAP in our back yard? :)

Nope; but rather MAP's response to said turbo.

Guess I'm not in the whole Evo X turbo loop. But wouldn't one of MAP's existing EFx turbos already be similar to it?

ef2 is smaller and ef3 is a little bigger, so I guess something inbetween.

I haven't been around much lately, sounds like I've missed a little. The gf and I are buying a house, so that will be mod #1. Then after we get settled, I'm gonna talk to my uncle about buying his 280z. It has been sitting in a pole barn for probably 20 years, but it's in excellent condition.

Some of what I’m going to be doing in the next few months.
Take my shep trans out and send it to jacks to get it redone again..
Going to powder coat my brembos and re-install with new pads ss brake lines, and rotors that I already have sitting here.
adding a 9 turbo to it also.
Pick up some qtp's for some stock wheels on the dsm.

Ooh. That is one mod my car could actually use, a real catch can/breather setup, instead of that BS I have rigged up now so it would be "good enough" for Proving Grounds.

No catch can, just vent to atmosphere.

Hrm, can't remember if it was #1 or #4...
