-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?

God you sound like you have the same ideas as me. But I won't be doing any of them any time soon lol

In spring just before snow melts I need to fix my serp belt and possibly swap out back to stock acc pulley's.

Then I need to roll one rear fender and put my eibach springs in.

I also need to put my rear diff bushing kit in, my driveshaft carrier bushing kit in, gate selector bushing in and underhood shifter bushing kit in.

I am going to buy an oil pressure gauge to and throw that in somewhere this winter as well.

Then I need to do a fluid swap. I am almost at 30k and I think some of my fluids might be stock, rear diff comes to mind.

In the spring I will retune for 30psi area and hope to crack 600whp at MAP.

Sooooo many things I want to do but I am tapped for money. /Pray for big tax return and big bonus I guess.

Nice! Dude I did all this the first few weeks I owned my X and I haven't touched anything else(other than to double-check torque on the diff bolts after a few miles of driving). No short shifters or anything, I'm SUPER happy with the setup!

I bought all that stuff in like June while my car was down. I had too much nonsense to deal with in Fall when I got it back to even do this stuff. Hopefully this is like a case of beer and a Saturday in spring to get it all done.
