^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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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
