Ok with winter coming what are your plans for your cars this winter?

Be fun to see how far everyone gets on there cars by spring.

I'm sure most of you already have read some of the things I'm looking to do/have to do.

But incase you missed it. My steps are going to be building a motor to replace my crankwalked/spun bearing 7bolt. Then move on from there as money allows.

Step 1:
-Building hopefuly a 6 bolt 2.4L
-Eagle Rods/Wiseco piston combo

Step 2:
-Porting the hell out of my 2G Head
-Port matching all my manifolds, etc

Step 3: Hope to do this while my motors getting built
-6point Cage
-Weld in new plates for my Front Struts
-If my interior can't be keeped, Like to sheet metal the interior that couldn't be kept
-Paint the cage/welds/interior where needed to maintaine the "white" look
-Sparco 5 point camlock Harness's

Step 4:
-New OEM control arm
-New OEM Master Slave Cylinder
-Front Power Slot Rotors
-Hawk brake Pads
-SS Brake Lines

Step 5:
All the rest of the sparco/Color Scheme I posted in the other thread.

Like I said this is my wish list, my focus is 1 step at a time. The only thing I might be looking at that will change this "Step" list. Is I'm considering selling the Concord for an SUV/Tow Vehicle. Which might hind how far I get on my list by next year.

Anyways What are your guy's plans for the winter?

Drive the 1.8 into a snow bank 20 or 30 times, fix the truck, and try not to eat the yellow snow.

More power. New intake manifold/bigger injectors/i/c piping/co2 spray from fx and turn up boost and re-tune. I wish I could get dog box tranny and bigger turbo, but I cannot.

Haha plans....

Only thing Im doing is getting it to shift, and that will happen this fall hopefully in the next two weeks.

-Install tranny w/new fork/ball/TOB.
-Rip out pedal assembly - counting down the hours of that doom planned for this friday...

If it still has problems then I give up and someone here can buy it ;)

Otherwise it will be fixed but nothing will be upgraded so it will sleep until spring :cry:
