2015 spring plans for your car thread
#11
My spring plans are a good tune up. I just bought my 6er back in December, and have no idea when the previous owners had made a good once over on the car. When dragging her out of the garage (literally she was stuck in the mud), we noticed she was slightly misfiring as she idled. The power just wasn't there. I get my quarterly bonus on Thursday and plan on ordering new parts for some GOOD preventative maintenance.
NGK V-Power Performance spark plugs
New fuel filter
New air filter

By next fall I'd like to have a bit more work done as well:

As warm weather approaches Im wondering about my bezel. I bought a new drivers side one because the old one split and was useless. As far as I know the passenger side one is still ok because the light is ok in it. But since I think I will install a new lens set Im wondering if I should go ahead and replace the old bezel too? I have a new one for the drivers already waiting to use.

Over the winter I did all new suspension/handling and lowered.
My spring plans are mostly all about looks with some function:
1. Matte black stripes (did last week)
2. Shaker hood. (Did it TODAY)
3. hurst roll control (for fun I guess cause I don't go to track)
4. Deep dish wheels and tires (for looks)
5. Paint calipers black (for looks)
6. Drilled/slotted rotors/new pads (for looks)
7. 2012 front brake brackets for the 13.2 in 2011+ larger front rotors. (for function)
8. Debating the RAXIOM nav unit which says it plugs and play with shaker 1000. (Wife wants a backup cam in the trunk keyhole). Either this unit or screen in the rear view mirror.
9. New front upper/lower grille. (For looks)
10. Dead pedal (for looks)
11. Splash guards as a black car gets too dang dirty too quick. (For function)
I already have nearly everything waiting in my shop. The rims are on order, but back ordered. Once they ship I'll order the tires everything else is here.
I wanted to do a lightbar, but my wife says she'll refuse to drive the car if I do so she has some deep hate there we need to overcome first
I'll see what I get to this weekend, but me being the idiot I am decided 3 months ago to train for a 1/2 marathon which is tomorrow morning.
If this fat boy is able to crawl torwards the shop afterwards I plan to do roll control and paint calipers. Maybe Sunday I'll get pads and rotors done, but I'm nearly blind and work slow as $hit so we'll see where I get before the work week starts again.
