Winter's comin around, what winter project mods is everyone doin?

[Shaun]

Well I know some guys like to keep this stuff a secret, but others dont. What are the winter plans for everyones cars? Simple bolt ons, nitrous, S/C, Twin Turbo Big Block like zinc is throwin in his car? As for me, every Supra owner wants to go to a big single turbo but it's a very costly endeavor so I highly doubt that will happen. Probably just some electric fans as opposed to my power robbing belt driven stockers, and other misc. rice.
LETS HEAR IT!

Damn, my secret is out Im putting in a 500bbc and a few 1.01 trim turbos in there. Should be running 8's next year hehe. Nah, my winter plans are getting a v8 mustang, and modding that.

I'll be helping my dad rebuild his 1940 Cadillac LaSalle 322ci flathead V8. That motor is going to be difficult to rebuild!! As far as stuff for the '67, I usually wait till early spring to work on stuff, my garage isn't heated/insulated. But I need to install the Total Control motor mounts, a monte carlo bar, and a rear sway bar.

Short projects this fall/spring (2 damned cold to work on the car in the winter)

42# injector install
90mm Lightning MAF
New FordChip Install (replacing JMS chip)
Change tranny fluid

If I get really ambitious, new radiator and thermostat.

Supersnake.

Were you the 4V running the Novi front mount intercooler??

If so, just to let you know. The intercooler will not fit with an aftermarket radiator without extensive modifications.

And it is pretty redundant anyways, unless you find yourself doing hard open track events.

The only benifit I found when I was running a Steeda Ultra cool radiator (made by CS racing) was a quicker cool down time between 1/4 runs. Otherwise all operating temps were the same.

I'm upgrading to a 12-can.

um, new throttle body, mass air. Upgrade my valve train and get a performace tune on the car. Plus a paint job hopefully.

[fuzzy moonunit]

well i was going to stroke my 460 and possibly drop it in, but then when i got out to the garage i remembered i dont have a 460...so ima snowboard instead.

[Formula94]

I will be putting in SFCs, LCAs, reloc. brackets, Adj. PHR, 1" lowering springs, some new shocks, new driver's side power window motor, new headlight motor, and I haven't decided on whether I will do a new stall converter (prolly 3200rpm) or a 125-150 shot of the giggle gas. Next summer I am hoping to get a set of 17x9.5 front and 17x11 rear ZR1 wheels and powder coating them black like the 96 grand sport vette wheels.

I hope my car is gone by the time the snow flys. Anyone wanna buy it?

[konastang5.0]

you know if your getting rid of your car. You better get a 05 soon afterward

[Shaun]

I heard he's getting civic. :scared2:

[Typhoon]

Paint job, bigger turbo, and a converter.

If I have enough $$$ I'll get some HRE 18" rims too

[99SSleeper]

I'd like to have a 9" Ford fabbed up and ready for all the guts in the springtime....other than that, maybe a Torque Converter.

But who knows, winter is a long time and plans always change...maybe I'll show up next year in a silver '03

Naaah, not likely on my budget...

[mnstang]

i have alot of little things i need to do...
ditch the shorty headers for ceramic longtubes
fuel pressure and n20 pressure gauges in the center vents
oil pressure warning light and shift light
some n20 accessories
get the intake ported by turbox2
possibly a g-force T5
many little drivetrain stuff...

and the big one... body work and paint.
