Been a little quiet here the past week or so with the cold weather setting in. Thought I'd open up a thread to see what car projects folks have planned for the winter season?

For me, I'm going to be doing some speaker upgrades on the sound system, as well as a Digital Guard Dawg push button start and passive keyless entry, I just need to figure out interfacing with the factory alarm (apparently the alarm arm/disarm wires in the chassis don't activate the anti-towing tilt sensors or the interior motion detector, only arming with the factory remote activates those. Trying to cook up a way around that.)

 

yes it has been quiet...

i will be painting my roush wing (thanks to Paul ) having my new fenders painted and installed (will post pics when they are done...need to find a time to have them done, with me have a rental car as short as possible lol)...3.73 gears would be next up...ARH Long Tubes with O/R H & MBRP mufflers...re-doing my suspension, so if all goes well and i'm transferred to Lamborghini, i can dump my supercharger in as well

everything besides the supercharger should be a definate go to be installed before spring gets here

gotta have some goodies in the car before the fiance and son move up here in May

we can give the GM lover a nice warm Mustang greeting lol

i can't wait to get crackin on these mods...and i REALLY can't wait for the summer

 

Whos doing the header install?

I have 0 plans, because its in a garage thats not mine so it'll just sit a while.

First thing in the spring is to get the top replaced though...

 

i thought you were helping me with that?...you backin out on me homie lol if you can't i'll just have the kid in the shop do it...we're cool so he'll do it after hours on the side

 

Find me proof!

Header and cam installer were such a pain. And the cam install wasn't even on my car!

 

it was through text and they are long deleted lol...it's cool, i'll have the guy in service do it one day after we're closed

 

Have fun its an 6-8hr job.

Sure he'll be super happy. Hope your car isn't as rusty as a buddy of mines 07. We snapped 2 bolts getting the midpipe off (only 4 there) so I hope the manifold studs come out nice or a new set of heads would be in order...

Just a word of caution. All 16 of mine came out fine, but mine has never seen snow. I told my friend I'd never do a longtube install unless he was ok with getting heads after they all broke off, haha.

 

he'll be getting paid so i don't think he'll be complaining lol...and it's tax free so i don't see any complaints haha...i'll help if he needs it but he likes workin alone...he also works on this girls Eclipse

 

He just lost all credibility in my book

 

lol...sometimes you gotta make sacrifices to make dat money lol
