- Install new CF hood
- Clean engine bay
- Install speedware harness bar
- Install shift boot
- Clean interior
- Out of province vehicle inspection
- Prepare car for winter storage...

You missed two steps based on your list:
- paint CF hood (to match body color)
- install rollcage (using a harness without a rollcage is a BAD idea) |

I think I'd really like to leave my truck alone and see what it feels like to just get into it and drive it in the spring.
The austin mini has to get finished or my wife is goina kill me. It's going back N/A and scraping the whole turbo thing. Got new header, weber 45 with velosity stacks, msd ignition, and got to be totally rewired.
Pull the water pump on my bike (1972 suzuki GT'750 2-stroke) and fix it or try and buy a used one.
Paint atleast 2 walls in my garage and checker plate 2 pony walls. Hang plasma cutter from the ceiling, and move a couple shelves to the basement.
Paint mainfloor bathroom, and finish framing out side walls in basement, finish insulating, electrical, and vapor barrier.
Learn piano from my 5 year old boy, and work 2-3 jobs.
Thats most of the winter for me. |

I won't be painting my CF hood or trunk (already on the car) because I like the CF look and paint just adds weight...
As for the harness bar and takata harness, yes I know that using a harness bar in lue of a true cage is a bad idea. I only plan to use this for show, nothing more... |
|
|
| RWD |
trust fmic
mtec 4000k hids
apexi n1 dual exhaust

new head unit and component speakers with amp

can i ask why you would waste money on painting the cf?
i have like 4 frineds that got cf hoods, and i did aswell, because our orginal hoods had dents and scratches that were gonna cost more to fix and repaint than to buy a cf hood |
|
|
| WeDgE |
- possibly move to a smaller turbo (GT35R or GT40R)
- AEM EMS?
- Upgrade brakes!! |

So my car wouldn't look like shit after installing it. Sorry, some may disagree, but IMO the raw carbon fiber look on exterior body panels looks like ass. If I was to get a CF body panel (hood or other), it'd be primarily for weight savings, NOT an appearance mod. :rolleyes: Then I'd paint it so it at least matched the car. |
|
|
| Transporter |
i agree with you paint matching cf is much better than habeing parts of diffrent color on your car.
and on top why attrat more attention by showing off CF parts. |
|
|
| Transporter |
as for work over winter
finish CF eyelids IS
finish CF rad panel FC
find elec. gremlins (always in progress)
replace TB with new one or rebuilt one
install diffuser
install door sills
fix (rock chips) and 3M front bumper
3m side of car till budget runs out
fix horn
finsih install of oil catch can
finsih bracket (SS) for HID
install HID
make CF HID bezel cover
research more into other wierd gremlins |

I agree with a Skyline or older model integra i thonk personaly
a CF hood unpainted looks beautiful. but on a very cury sexy car like the skyline most body mods that arent painted to correct color or even fitted properly makes the car on the whole look like shit.
It really depends on ones own tastes and the car. |

Chargerguy, I saw your beast at the track last Friday, did you ever get to make any passes in it this year and how did you do? Are you bringing it out this Friday?
I plan on getting some more work done on project Pro-Touring Duster, got to get the body work done and start working on the suspension and cage/subframe connectors. Also need to decide on a direction for powertrain, I think I'll be doing a stroker Hemi based on the 6.1L from the SRT-8s. |
|
|
| Supra_devil |
hopefully do something with my project supra. although i may be too busy putting my new project supra together with most of my old parts.
specs on the new one will be:
stripped
front and rear bars
springs/shocks
some stitch welding
built 5m (built to handle boost so i can crank it this time)
Megasquirt for fuel duties
my 16" wheels
and it will be my summer car till my other supra is done (expecting it to be a 3 year project)
i want to make some pars for some other people and some other cars though as well, for fun. |

I feel unproductive just reading this thread.
My winter will consist of accumlating parts that will never go on the car for a couple years (Nothing better to do with my free time than to buy parts I "plan" on putting on) and getting my house within months of being mortgage free. |

I have so much to do you guys wouldn't even believe. Wire up a Microtech LT10s standalone, TII conversion (got to completely build the engine), TII tranny into my FB, custom driveshaft, ford 8.8" differential and mounts from grannysspeedshop.com. Autometer cobalt gauges, get a custom exhaust made, intercooler piping, mount the intercooler, figure out rear brakes, roll cage, rear rims... Need to get the rear quater windows refitted, hook up the new fuel system (good for over 800 hp). Hook up the innovate motorsports LM-1, greddy profec B spec-II, water injection, and laptop for datalogging...
Like I said, I have a couple things to do... The hardest part, making it all come together and work properly...
We will see how much actually gets done this winter. |

slap my accord back together which includes
reassembling the engine
putting it back into the car
replace the rear leaky brake cylinder
brake fluid flush
making a gauge pod for it(or remold my current one)
installing all those gauges
find the eletrical drain
and best of all, take pictures and show it off to the person who hates my car the most and wants to see it burn in hell, my dad:thumbup:
on my BMW, probably replace the brake pads, oil change, replace the hood, bumper and probably replace the passenger side HID(its been flickering) |
