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.

Im also doing new brakes... Possibly 6 Piston Monoblock calipers on the front (painted white)

Also some other details like custom subaru badges and other goodies..

I plan to hopefully have everything done by April. Just in time for HIN

What are you guys or girls doin?

Hopefully have my ranger finally lowered.

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.

jdm free · 11-21-2008, 01:54 AM

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

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 · 11-21-2008, 04:42 AM

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 · 11-21-2008, 09:12 AM

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 · 11-21-2008, 10:28 AM

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 · 11-21-2008, 10:31 AM

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

Honest_Bob · 11-21-2008, 11:07 AM

Maintenance items

Timing belt, water pump..

pads and rotors.

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

Buster · 11-21-2008, 11:31 AM

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 · 11-21-2008, 11:35 AM

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.
