V8 Beast Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 What do you need to get for your car over the winter that you broke over the summer? What simple upgrades are you planning? I think this year will be my cheapest off season ever. Roll bar Cam Wheel Sensor Window Motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillJoy Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Nada. No longer having a "toy" car frees up the $$$ to pay off some Bills. I am glad my Marauder sold, with the way the Ecomony is going. Hopefully, by the time things are paid off, Steals will be available from folks who are still in over their heads. :thumbup: KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiOn19s Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Fix the damn flapper valve in the fuel filler neck so that the car will take more than .40 worth of gas before shutting off the pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stimmel1647545512 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Since the rear suspension is totally finished with about 400 miles on it and the full length subframes are welded in I think its time for a total rebuild on the front suspension with all new bushings, new struts cc plates possibly tubular k member....

New disc brakes all the way round the car is getting too fast for stock brakes from the 1970's. 4. If money holds out new tubular k frame and control arms. 5. Bigger slicks as the engine builder this time states that I will need more tire for this motor. 6. A second job or a sponsor to pay for all this shit!!!!!!!

Cordell Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 A whole fucking engine. I'm boycotting the car until my birth day in April though. So I guess it doesn't count as a winter project. I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes next winter's project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
