it's about that time, people are starting to put their cars away for the winter, and taking their shit to the next level. let us know what you plan to do to your rides this winter, and I'll drag this back up in the spring to make sure you guys all followed through! ( I know last time I posted in one of these threads I was way too optimistic)

I have a list that seems possible this year thanks to me moving on to a big boy job, then again I'm shopping for a vintage motorcycle instead of buying car parts! anyways...

1) remove the IRS and service it, install grease zerks, maybe new bushings.
2) finish building the new motor and install it, along with a front to back new exhaust system.
3) new top, unsure of color at this point.
4) cobra bumper, and a cowl hood.
5) new tires, maybe wheels too.

that should keep me occupied and broke over the winter. post up how you want your winters to go!

2. Tuning
3. Re-finish and paint hood
4. maybe some under-hood dress up, interior styling.

I found that 373 gears make a big difference! love them! The short throw shift kit i love too, wouldnt want to drive without it!

I need to get the megasquirt sorted out as it's still giving me A LOT of issues
I need to weld in my Team z ARB and get my susp geometry set up in the rear
I'll prob pull the remainder of the weight out of it and just make it a strip only car. (Within reason)

If she doesn't put down over 300 to the wheels then the engine will come out and the block will get sent to the shop to get stroked. :)
