Well the 1st day of Spring just passed, birds are chirping and leaving surprises on my car, my eyes are starting to become itchy and watery, Blizzaks are ready to come off, cars are being hand washed and the RWD cars are coming out of hiding. I guess Spring is coming.

So let’s hear it. What are you doing to you car this year?

fuel system, wheels, front lip, gauges, and a proper dyno tune

Hmmm, I don't know? I know a windshield for sure. The one I have is cracked and have scratches all over it. Maybe new fuel and timing control if pocketlogger.com ever comes out with the new version 2.0 with dataloging.

For the MX-6 I will be ordering a new hood for the Ocean City , MD cruise in June. I am going to install all new suspension and steering parts to the RX-7. I am looking forward to the warm weather. Life sucks when you have no garage. :cry:

getting tuned! My project should be finished within the next 3 weeks. The only "mod" eft is a little shot to spool up the SBR GT14.

Head studs, head gasket, 20g turbo, motor mounts, sheetmetal intake mani, rest of my alignment ish (camber correction) and dyno tuning. All hopefully done in a matter of 2 weeks. :mrgreen: After that its time to build this spare motor and get the car painted.

I was thinking cams, head studs, and IC piping, but I might put some cash into the 240.
A dyno tune is definately in the works though.

You aren't talking about the PT meet by any chance are you?? Last year was fun for the small amount of time I was able to hang out w/everyone. Looking forward to it again this year. I go by "PGTred95" on PT btw.

Oh ya, modding plans for '05. Built block is on the way in a week or two.
After that I'll probly rock a 1g top end for a while as ported heads are way too much for me right now. Built trans w/lsd and slicks. Big turbo, not sure what yet, but something flowing enough to make MAX 650hp. Standalone, blah, blah, blah, and the list goes on :rolleyes:

Hydra, forgies for the ej257, rotated turbonetics kit, gauges, pe850's, act clutch, springs, sways, endlinks, and water/air ic. We should dig this thread up next spring and where we all landed.

Forged pistons (debating on CR still), superhot cams, experimental intake manifold, AT equal length tubular manifold, T3/T66 hybrid turbo running +20psi, experimental head port and valve grind (to try and reduce float), a few other things, like stock in tires.

Rebuilt engine, Magnaflow high-flow cat and muffler (in the mail), OEM tubular header, Kumho Ecsta 711 tires (waiting to be mounted), SPS bushings, and maybe an oil pressure and volt gauge.

Might paint it primer black, too :devil:

A big effin turbo...

CarbonIS
04-15-2005, 01:18 PM
hopefully i'll be able to save enough for a turbo package from either
TurboEast or SRT...I'll have the new body kit...I'm going to get the suede in the
center of my seats which is black now done in red suede, along with red piping
Hopefully an aftermarket sounds system (which i'm reluctant to do because the
stock one is so freakin awesome)

Any other suggestions?
