Winter plans for your cars...


V8 Beast

Recommended Posts

I want to see real life winter plans this year. Every year I see a bunch of posts and maybe 20% of them actually happen. What do you really plan on doing to your car in the off season?

 

Me..

-Upgrade valve spings and rocker arms

-Upgrade my wheel studs

-Get some tires for my skinnies,

-Put my racing stripes back on,

-Change spark plugs and o2 sensors,

-Upgrade my brake lines.

-Have my exhaust fogged to make sure I havnt develped any leaks over the years.

-I want to get my heads and manifold ported but not 100% sure on that yet.

-Put one of these camshafts in I have sitting on my table before I sell them

-Get the car retuned

 

Get a used V8 SUV

-Upgrade the exhaust

-Upgrade the hitch

-Get a better air intake

-Tranny cooler

-Better tires

-Tune

-Get 20 miles to the gallon out of it

The V6 car is getting tore down to a bare unibody with every component cleaned inspected and painted. I'll be welding in an extensive cage and try to get the weight down to 2500lbs. Pulling the fenders to make room for 245 Hoosier R6s on all for corners. Then fresh paint inside and out and decide what number to put on the sides next to the TTD/PTD designations.

 

The V8 car will remain on jackstands.

The TA I want to get a set of heads for it, new O2 sensors, new wideband, dynamat the interior to quite it down, C5 brake conversion and a tune in the spring.

 

The Fiero needs a new tranny and some ball joints.

 

Install some frame sliders on the bike.

The Camaro,

Another transmission, and toque converter. I doubt I'll get to the rear end over winter but sometime next year. After the drivetrain is done I'll get back to finishing up the rest of my combo. It'll take me at least 2 more years on my budget.

 

The 400ex,

Get some wheels and tires, handlebars, and get it out more.
