Since most of us will be driving our Z's very little, or not at all, I figure most of us have an idea of what we want to accomplish for mods/fixes this off season.

Here is my list:

-Replace stock shocks and springs with Koni Yellows and Tein S-Techs
-Install sways, if I buy them.
-Replace belts
-Replace Plugs with NGK Iridium
-Get rims powder coated
-Oil change before the spring
(I have all of this stuff already and it keeps staring at me asking me nicely to install it. I have to go meet with a guy in Providence about possibly powder coating the rims.)

I really wanted to spend my money, this year, on a body kit and paint, but it just isn't a good financial year for me, so I decided to just do the items listed above because performance always comes first

If anyone has hotchkis sways, with harware, that they are looking to part with, let me know.
I may also be interested in a, non-stock, front bumper, if it is in good to perfect condition and already sprayed SS.

 

Install greddy TT. BUy utec and get it tuned. Blow up stock motor by summer time.

 

mine's a DD so i guess my winter project would be to avoid the tow truck (as in; i slid on the ice/snow and wrapped it around a light pole "knocks on wood"

 

installed bodykit, repaint the entire car same color, almost done.....

 

winter projects see:

how much are they charging you for repainting the whole car

-a plenum spacer by the end of spring
-NGK iridium plugs
-nismo shift **** and a boot

 

tein tierods and to replace strut mounts on my tein's

 

Already did:
-Nismo CF shift ****
-Injen CAI
-LED corner reflectors

Still to do:
-Tanabe GF210 on Tokico D-Specs
-MD 5/16 plenum spacer (still need to buy...)
-Tint (come spring-time)

Wishlist:
-HKS true dual exhaust...

 

Exhaust(probly turbo xs)
Tanabe springs(nf210)
Gt spec braces
Shift ****( dunno which one yet)

 

ughh....I love and hate this time of year!

I love working on the car...I really do. When things go smoothly, it's almost therapeutic lol. At the same time, it's cold as hell out, and even with the shop at a balmy 70 F, and we're walking around in t shirts inside, it sucks being stuck there late on a cold night.

My list:
- finish figuring out making the 4.3 final drive work, also going to try a Quiafe diff with it
- Haltech install/tune
- IQ3 dash install/setup
- ITB install
- re-spray my hood
- relocate battery

going to be a busy few months
