Winter Projects, Let here these good projects. Options

[celiracer]

Anybody have some big winter project plans for there car this year? If so let hear them, if your wanting to keep secret then i understand

[Verde97]

I'm planning on dying my seats black to match the doors and dash. Also re-upholster the center console cover, change my climate control, dash gauges, and a-pillar gauges to blue, and add some tan velvet (or some material like suede) to my doors.

Just small projects, mainly. It's too cold out for any major work to be done. I could probably do all that work in one day if I wasn't so lazy lol.

[Batman722]

ST - nothing

GT - swap the tranny and new mounts, new axles, new A arms and new hubs, install new TRD springs (just bought them) and struts, clean up and refinish the wheels, maybe exhaust too.

[playr158]

ditch spare tire well and gas tank, fuel cell, custom front brace and rear(strut), tein SS coilover, c-one hood, custom front kit, fenders, new exhaust (magnaflow mufflers, resonator, high flow cat) and thats about it

[jgreening]

new side markers

tail light mod

[celiracer]

Well was just gonna edit my first one. But o-well, I forgot to put in my projects.
TWM short shifter
Tein Adjustable coil overs

Towards the end of winter around Feb or March i will be starting to put everything on, and start doing all my bodywork myself in my garage. Then i'll be getting my vader bodykit and eurobuni wing fitted and the whole car repainted.

new side markers

tail light mod

Good to hear your doing something about those side markers. If you could put them up by the mirror like the JDM's, that'd be cool. Your car is really flowing together, but those sidemarkers are interupting that flow.

[celiracer]

Well i hope everyone that has posted and is posting on this forum gets what they wanted done this winter. I'm slowly getting my parts i need and it will all just go in at once. I also want to wish everyone luck on there projects

Change cc to blue backlight with red led switch lights.

Ignition ring, cigarette lighter, clock, window switch all change to blue. Not sure if I'll do leds or blue film.

My engine needs to come out, the head taken off, the head then rebuilt and put onto the rebuilt block, the complete rebuilt engine then into car....Not sure whether to stick with stock cams or get some cams for midrange torque...

....Then need to run in the engine for about 1000miles

Am then fitting a Garrett GT2871R turbo and also 800cc injectors and walbro fuel pump. Then gotta get the Apexi power fc remapped.

400+bhp and similiar torque here we come
