What\'s everyone\'s car plans this winter?

[probedb]

With various people taking their cars off the road like StormBleeder I\'m jsut wondering what everyone is planning to do over the winter ready for next year? Just an idle "I\'m bored at work" type question

For me it\'s:

Rebuild
Street port (hopefully)
New exhaust system from SMB (on order now)
New radiator
New clutch and flywheel while the engine is out (hopefully)
New motor mounts
New vacuum and coolant pipes/hoses
Fit PFC finally and get a tune after the engine is run in
Replace the plastic intercooler piping with some hard pipes
New suspension bushes (has to be done, at least one is cracking)
Once on the road a full laser alignment

Think that\'s it and all funds dependent

mine is to drive very slowly as it is my daily driver and i dont have the option to take it off the road

As the sig suggests, finish the car off in time for next season!

T72 turbo
V-mount HUGE IC
4 x 1000cc injectors
custom fuel cell with tank mounted 044 fuel pump
bigger exhaust without the mid pipe silenced
Map the Microtech
I suspect there will be some other little jobs as well!

Well i was going to put a stereo in it, but cant be bothered now as i just got an ipod, and i can carry that around eveywhere.
Might have to get round to fixing the bent drivers door as it leaks a little when it rains and the drivers seat gets wet, which is not nice.
Also got a load of rust round one of the rear arches so might just touch that up with a bit of white Hammerite
Did get some new shocks for the rear the other week. Really dont like spending money on it but couldn\'t moan to much as they were only £32 a pair

My plans for this winter??? Why, do a bit of ice skating, Rex style of course...:rollin

[peterwolds]

wastegate modified,additional injectors,wmi and remap

[TwistedHumour]

First thing is to ‘tidy’ the car up – there are a few small cracks on one rear spat, a side skirt and the front bumper which need repairing and painting.
Re-con the wheels
New kick plates
Re-spray the silver part of the dash
R-magic commander holder
Polish various engine bits
Try and find some rear storage buckets
And depending on how quick I can build my funds a nice big V mount

I would have liked to do more but after the rebuilt I’m gonna be looking at an empty wallet

[BlitzBoy]

Well having most of my winter work being done right now by Reworx
BrapBrapBrap porting
Mazdaspeed PPF fitting
Launch Kit fitting
Ali Rad fitting

AI being fitted by me in November then mapping to 1.4-1.5 BAR

[A7NTY]

[Ada7]

[Cally]

1.18" alloys
2.Eibach spring and bilstein shock (bit softer than the jap racing stuff thats on it)
3.new momo steering wheel / gear knob / handbrake
4.FMIC
5.try work out what apexi commander i need and where to get it
6.Get some rear seatbelts
7.Fit my stereo gear
8.Get a rear bumper, c-west maybe
9.some aero mirrors
10.Brembo calipers all round
11.Source another recaro seat for passenger side

Then the usual full service probably renew the leads etc too, and finish undersealing it (still got the arches to do) then after winter a respray in some sort of black pearl colour.

Should have most of this done in the next month or so.
