I don't really have a ton of plans for my car, but that's usually when I do the most to it. I have a few CELs to take care of (I think I have the e85 gunk problem), so maybe a few parts to fix that, and probably a few more parts to fix whatever breaks going through winter.

New plugs, drivetrain fluids, and acc belt in the spring.

I have some random plans to go faster though:
-tephra v2/NLTS
-mini battery
-install 2-piece MR rotors
-stronger fuel system: walbro400 w/ BAP, maybe a FPR if need be
-build lightweight fmic bracket (stock one is huge and steel)
-aluminum driveshaft

crazier ideas:
-swap in a BB EF4, if/when they make one...(goal: run more boost reliably)
-swap out rear diff AYC system for an evo8 rear-end. This is theoretically worth almost 120 pounds of weight loss...still investigating this.
-I keep seeing these epic tubular T3 turbo setups....but my wallet does not agree. Maybe lotto?
