My winter Z project is trying to drive it through the winter causing the least damage and corrosion as possible. I need a second car like badly.

My Z is my DD, so my project was snow tires. I also hardwired a Nuvi GPS in my dashboard cubby. I'll have to take some pics at some point.

Custom-fabricated rear diffuser since I no longer have a muffler can with the JIC Single

I got someone who will help with the bending but I still need to find a way to wrap it in carbon fiber though since Tonester is out of the game

would you happen to have the silencer for your JIC? would you be willing to sell?

My only modification this winter has been to install the tow hook in the front for the first time since I've owned the car. I got stuck on an icy hill for 2 hours in December and installed the hook that night....now I just keep it on kind of like a good luck charm to ward off icy slopes and tow trucks until this BS weather is gone.

In the meantime I did get a new set of wheels (CE28n Formula Silver) so I will be getting my tires swapped off of my current set (barely used gloss black LE28n's hint hint) so that I'm all ready to go when the weather improves.

Do you have a return-style fuel system? If not, maybe you should go with 550s.
