Winter Projects?

[Kir Diesel]

Now that Winter is here i wanted to talk about what projects people have to get ready for next season. Turbo Kit? Body kit? Motor work? Post it up!

As for myself I plan to finally start showing the car next season and if money allows a possible magazine feature.

As of right now i have ordered a body kit that noone in the country i think will have besides me!

Heres some shots of how it may look like.

[JDMTyler3326]

Dang man gonna be bad ass!!!!!! My project is fixing my Bike.

[phsdrummer2]

buttoning up my Z while im home for winter break. Putting in new fuel pump, and neo hopefully get it tuned down at R/T while im home as well.

[lownslow95]

Hopefully have my ranger finally lowered.

[Sgt. Pepper]

Button up a few minor things on the CRX and mothball it for the winter. Start working on motor #2 which will be a long term project.

[DSMTJ]

my winter project is to save money so i can add some forced induction in the spring time.

[ItsStetch]

that would be sweet

[tdmopar59]

couple minor things than save up for spring when its nice enough to work on my car lol

[Kir Diesel]

Thats gonna be damn fast :afro:

[motorvated]

im buying all the pieces to boost my miata

[jdm free]

im saving all the money i can to pay for my car when im back at school. no parts till at least late spring for me

[240sxDann]

Going from N/A 12xHP, to ka-t shooting for 250-275whp realistically. I was saying shooting for 300 but thats a good bit to ask of my motor hahaha. Just put my wideband in last night. Gonna be putting in my AFC NEO sometime, then once I get everything together put my fuel pump and injectors with the rest of the turbo goodies.

[Instigator1225]

a 66 VW bug, with a prostock 4 speed and a sti motor with a 35r and supporting fuel mods... and some custom fab work for the ventilation....should be 450 hp or so.(still trying to find a deal on the long block )

and hopefully finally painting my 68 hood ride. its completly stock with a roof rack,rear deck rack, bug pack super trumpet exhaust, dual webber carbs...and as always rocking the white walls with about 12 degrees ;)

the other cars are staying the same.... or staying in my garage..wrecked...>sadness<


and a pic of the new redone motor going into my baby..jsut to piss dpan off a bit more ;)

i thought it posted alst night.. i dont know what happened. lol

[drew32]

I've got to get my Samurai ready for winter!! It started snowing today and I had to take the 7 to work. Hopefully I can get that front axle soon!!

As for the 7, Hopefully save money and fix the small things that are wrong with it. I'd like to go single but it will cost so much money, I'd rather save for a street bike.

[DPancoast]

I'll be doing powerslot rotors, upgraded brake lines and hawk pads in the late winter if I can get the money together. I'd also like to do TRD swaybars.

Other than that I have nothing planned. Just going to take care of it and keep the fluids fresh.

[CleanNeon98]

My winter objective with the car is to have it in one piece for spring haha

[Honest_Bob]

Maintenance items :(

Timing belt, water pump..

pads and rotors.

and I dont expect the battery or clutch to last the winter either. :(

[Buster]

are you on your stock battery Ben? I just tested mine and have a couple of bad cells. my CCAs are down to 340 of 650.... eek!

I plan to have the new trans/ clutch in and have my coilovers fixed and a new hood by the end of the winter. maybe even a new bumper so I can get my foglights back.

[PoorMan'sR]

Reality get my exterior looking how i want it to

Reaching for a vf39 or a super 16G

why a 39 or a 16g? youre talking 2 completely different power levels lol. a 39 will be faster, a 16g is really fast.

Just curious. I have a 16g in my car and love it. VFs run out of boost fast Mitsu turbos make lots of boost early and hold.

[TGilb2007]

Probably getting a new power window switch for the pass. side front, and also some new tires towards the end of winter. Thats really about it.

MAYBE some audio upgrades (headunit, and door speakers)

[arkadyzv]

Suspension, brakes and carpc for the Legacy.

Start the suspension and widebody for the rx7.

[Instigator1225]

Reaching for a vf39 or a super 16G

why a 16g? 20g's are a little more.. a shade bigger and give a definate gain. my buddys wrx isnt to bad on the lag with it...

[Erik]

hopefully after my rents (finally)split up, we will move and i get the 2 car garage to myself :thumbup: finally some room to work on the civic. probably get the mpfi swap this winter as well

[PoorMan'sR]

from what i've read the super16G is very very streetable and thats mainly what im going for, plus i dunno what year your buddy's rex is but the 2.0 liters struggle to spool the 20G

[marshallpre1]

Single turbo (67mm, etc)
Clutch (WOTM Arizona clutch)
Brakes (new pads, rotors, repaint caliper)
Interior console panels resanded, bondo to fix the chips, repaint black
Changing gauges to AEM digital
Interior dash panel lighting to blue or green
Repaint some body panels (maybe??)

[DelayedZ]

I have a maintenance list sort of, new clutch, flywheel, etc, suspension, which is at my house I just have to put it on, front lip which is here as well, get that painted and put on, get my cf painted since I don't like it, get my wheels powdercoated again or just buy new wheels, fix a few rattles in the interior, after I tear it apart and put my new audio system in, which is also just sitting around, lol. Basically my main winter project is getting intiative I have pretty much everything its just a matter of getting it done. Oh and get my UTEC retuned...

[JSpecV03]

stainless brake lines and various hoses
start collecting parts for turbo build.

Edit: thanks delayedZ for reminding me about cluch. my TOB is making some serious noise.

[ThePrimerSuspect]

searching for a new winter beater still, but hopefully i can get new tires and paint my wheels, unload the talon, and then yank the 351 and prepare for the rebuild. man i got a lotta **** to do lol

[drail182]

Redoing the interior in my talon black with fox red leather seats, door inserts, and shift boot. Spraying the car with a metallic black paint. Buying a JL W7 and 1000/1 mono channel amp, Also all the fuel work and tuning for my car.

[rocco]

maintenance and some small scratch/dent repair. if i hit the lottery i may change my plans

[BigWhiteTodd]

building a all motor single for now and doing a hydro conversion

[92dxman]

Just repaint some various parts of the bodies and clean up some of the body panels. Maybe build a fixed gear bike or tinker with one if I can find a good price on one..
