Put BBS wheels and summer tires back on.

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

Get it running.

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

I'd like to fix some rust and give the car a new paint job.

Clean up the interior a little.

Mabey upgrade to V3 DSMlink.

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

Drive it for the winter, and then its new car time.

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

New motor.
If I have money a 6pt rollbar.

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

Decide whats next yet?

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

Sell my Laser plus all of the DSM related parts I've accumulated over the last 6 years.

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

Lots of suspension piece replacement and modification. Fix small leaks and clean things up a bit. Also get some front wheels and tires that fit properly.

And then what to do with my new 16G car. :banana:

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

turbo, injectors, dsmlink, enjoy new found power.

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

suspension aka dspecs and sti pink springs, graphics...thats about it.

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

I still cant decide.. lol A mitsu is an option though... :P

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

Whats next for you?

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

-Pay for a wedding (have not proposed yet but I picked up the ring this week).
-Remodel my garage (1.5 story 24'x24'). It was built in the 70s and needs to be stripped down to the studs.

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

Congratulations on the upcoming engagement and good luck with the garage.

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

Provided I find work:

Strut tower bars
Bigger rear sway bar
Suspension bushings
Coilovers (possibly)
Evo 8 ECU
Evo 560 injectors
Boost controller
Evo 9 fuel pump (already acquired)
17" rims
Grippy tires for autox

The wheels and tires'll problably wait until right before the season starts, though.

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

New exhaust manifold and downpipe. Definitely need new tires too. Thinking about going with some 32" tires for winter. Haha

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

You can do that?

I plan on just buying a new car

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

A trip to Shane, 1600's, E-85 and more boost!

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

^Nice, that will be sweet.
Slowly work on the Z, got 99% of the car in primer now and the interior stripped about 90%. Sitting in it got me thinking of putting a dsm motor in it.

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

ethanol and a retune

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

Stare at my car and be sad that it isn't running.

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

Think about bigger injectors for e85.
Get tuned on gas in the meantime.
New rear tires.

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

Hook up the battery and call the insurance agent.

By the time of the first AX I'd like:
A set of 17x10's
Fix all the little odds and ends that really should be fixed
Gauges hooked up
FIMC
Intake pipes
Enough TQ to kill my clutch and complain about. :D

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

This sounds similar to my plans the last couple of years.


My plans:
2g GS-t with BB GT35r - tune and sell?? (hasn't ran in 2 years)

4g63 mirage with full T4 turbo - get running, dyno, and sell??? (hasn't ran in 2 years)

1g GSX - get rolling (wheel stuck) and sell this winter??? (hasn't ran in 2 years)

Honda insight- Probably still leave that stock for now.

Viper - Contemplate supercharger as turbo fitment is too tight

YZF1000R - sell in spring as I won't drive since I have the Viper.

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

Stop Bs'ing and pick up the parts LOL. But hopefully the spyder will be up and running(yes I know, it's another AWD spyder)

-Knuckles
-Axles
-AWD tranny+tcase
-head
-headgasket
-fuel lines/fuel tank
-dsmlink with eprom

All of this and I should be set to hit the road.

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

pretty sweet stuff you're all doin!

- 2 front axle replacement
- find another e316g
- KYB AGX suspension
- AFR Gauge
- 4-bolt rear

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

Boost-a-pump, retune on maybe e98, slick setup, suspension, nlts, and hopefully the biggest thing I need/want is a driver mod to get the most out of it.

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

about to get the block back from machinest.
-1g rod's w/ 2g nippon piston's
-50 trim
-tranny
-cam's
-save up for link

hopfully i will finally have something that will last long anough to acctually drive out this year

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

-Built 6 bolt bottom end and swap
-20g or 50 trim
-Front mount
-DSM link
-FP mani
-Getting my stock GSX rims powder coated ( Being done as we speak )
-Cams

Might have left something out but thats what the plan is...

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

Fix blowby, maybe get the new FIC 1650 injectors, then probably run out of fuel pump.

Oh and probably upgrade to 3/s calipers in the front and evos in the rear. I want to eliminate all the ABS stuff because the pedal feels squishy, we'll see how much work that involves.

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

Be actually living in MN. :)

Re: Winter plans/Changes or whatever it takes to be on the road once the salt is gone
 

Muahaha, awesome plans everyone! I plan to keep ripping up pavement, snow, and ice with my new snow tires (just mounted this AM), install nice aluminum undertray (ordered, should be in this week, install when I get back from vacay over the holiday).

Need to tune my new cams and stay on E85 or switch back to BP92/alky.

Over the winter, project bl1ng: start replacing some of the un-shiny stock stuff with a little more polished and clean parts. This project usually takes a back seat to other stuff, but hopefully I'll find the time to do a little here and there ;)

Other stuff: stiffer rear diff bushings and maybe solid driveshaft bushings, hunt for a set of bilstein MR shocks, bleed brakes & install new set of SS brake lines (current ones have a small unconstitutional crack in the upper boot), maybe paint the A,B, and C pillars black to match the rest of the car, and work on my rosey-pod v2!

GLI will stay as-is, *might* be looking for a set of springs for it once the snow starts to melt, but otherwise it will be anna's daily driver and my random FWD toy whenever the mood arises :)
