Well seeing as how it's getting nice and warm out now, and that brings back all the project cars and daily drivers to the streets, I was wondering what everyone has planned over the summer for their cars? I know alot of people plan winter months to work on the car, as it's off the road anyways, but I was more thinking what everyone is going to do small/mild over weekends and such.

It isn't impressive, but I thought I'd post my plans for the next couple months...

'87 Accord..
-Engine swap from my donor car.
-Transmission swap from my donor car.
-Strip the interior panels from my donor (blue) and dye them (black) and if it works, stick 'em in my original car.
-White gauges
-Red out tail lights
-H4 headlight replacement
-89 front bumper with integra lip.
-GSR integra rims, the fat 5's.
-Repaint bumpers and side trim
-Custom reverse lights
-89~ prelude front seats /or/ se-I front and rears.
-tint (25%)
-flat-black hood buldge paint.
-paint valve cover
-paint carb cover
-NGK plugs
-Accel coil
-MSD leads
-install my stereo
-10" rockford sub
-pioneer amp
-clarion 6" door's
-clarion 6x9 rears
-pioneer deck
-Stick my logo on the hood, or windshield
-get a BEYOND.CA sticker for the window, and a 3geez.com sticker as well.

After all that is done.. I'm going to collect the parts I need for..
-EFI swap.
-B18 intake manifold.
-civic CAI
-5 speed manual swap
-Prelude 4-2-1 headers.
-se-I rear rotor brake swap from drums
-powerslot slotted rotors
-AEM pads

Uhhhmm Aside from that I think the car is going to stay pretty much where it is..

As you can see I'm not going for all-out performance.. More reliability with some better breathing.

Post your plans ! :clap:
