Default Winter projects

Well folks, the cold weather has started to grip our area. This prompts an obvious question. What do people have for winter car plans. I'll start:

Cobb accessport
possible turbo kit (if Usualsuspect takes his kit off)
install eichbach sportline springs and hotchkiss sways
bumper tuck
100 shot nitrous kit

...amongst other things, which i shall keep secret...

I sold my truck....

so i've got like $4500.....

haha. I might buy rims....I really liked Matt's wheels at the meet.

I'm def going to buy a truck for winter, probably use the rest of the money to bag it in the spring and use it as a daily.

I hear ya bro. Labor rates are absolutely nuts. Just discovered I got a sizable inheritance from a relative who died recently, so more parts may be in order.

Omega, honestly I would say move on. As you know when people put twins and want some power it turns into a huge money pit. I would say something along the lines of a c6 z06. Plenty of power to keep you happy for a while so there shouldn't be any major temptation for engine mods just an exhaust and intake should do. And then you can take me for a spin in it .
