So Do You Have Plans For Your Car In The Summer? - darkpuppet - 03-28-2006
well, now that the weather is warming up quite nicely, I wanted to throw this question out there,
what plans, if any do you have for the car this spring/summer?
naysayers should remain nay-spectators
for me, and this is all pending my financial situation heading into spring, but what I'd like to do..
1) install boost and wideband O2 guages (finally)
2) move battery to hatch using moroso battery box
3) re-route supercharger intake to pull from in front of fender liner where the battery currently sits
3.5) replace all stripped mounting hardware with fresh (thank you very much Tuner Transformation Tards)
4) wheels
5) wetsand / polish the paint back to life.
6) install my exhaust

1) Get my new clutch installed
2) Get my diff installed
3) Install my electronic boost controller
4) Fiberglass some seat bracket covers so you dont see the brackets
5) redo my guauge pod. That was my very 1st fiberglass project, Id like to smooth it out and get it more stock looking. Maybe point the guages more towards me.
6)Get rid of my darn exhuats rattle :ph34r:

It's not my car. How would I know.
But I am sure it will involve my money somehow.

So Do You Have Plans For Your Car In The Summer? - euro_zx5 - 03-28-2006
-accumat the hatch, maybe more money permitting.
-spend a couple hours prepping the paint/waxing it
-money permitting, fix my scuffed wheel... either replace it or get it fixed.
-shorty antenna mod
-ac knobs (receiver style... which I can't find anywhere to match my deck)
If I had my apprenticeship on it's way, I would be considering 17's in gunmetal or dark silver, preferably the Ford Racing tuner wheel (like the GT's) or some Mondeo wheels; custom sub box with three or four 10's (american bass) along with a bigger monoblock for them; Steeda short ram intake; Steeda body kit; SVT suspension; and tints... which all aren't happening anytime soon.
