    Default Winter 2018 mods discussion

    Figure I'd start a convo to see what everybody's up to this winter with their rides...

    •What do you drive?
    •What mods do you have planned over winter for next season?
    •Is your ride parked for winter or is it daily driven?
    •Are we all getting old on here that nobody is really doing this anymore? Haha
    •Any plans for a new vehicle?

    E39 M5 with ESS Supercharger kit

    Plans are to get a wideband and boost gauge, a CSF radiator to help it run a little cooler in July, and step down a pulley size for a smidge more boost. Hoping for 11.90s or better next year. Will probably also build an aluminum intake tube to replace the flex tube that came with the ESS kit.

    Parked for winter of course. I have the skidwagon to skrrt around in til the weather is nice again.

    No plans for anything new, happy with the pair of V8 E39s.

    •What do you drive? 2002 Lexus IS300 manual
    •What mods do you have planned over winter for next season? It is getting a full repaint in black in the spring, will likely do IS350 front brakes over the winter
    •Is your ride parked for winter or is it daily driven? Under a cover in the garage
    •Are we all getting old on here that nobody is really doing this anymore? Haha The tuner inside never dies
    •Any plans for a new vehicle? I wouldn't mind an E46 M3 again this time with a VF, but probably not

    Not doing any work to a summer car over the winter but did buy a designated winter beater that I’m trying to get done within the next 2 weeks.

    2016 e-class coupe, set of staggered 19s with winters,lowering springs, full tint all around, exhaust, yellow headlight tint and smoked rear light.

    Out of town for a few weeks now but the day I get back I have shadow wrapping all the chrome and I’m doing a camo wrap then buying a roof box.

    Should all be done by the 20th.

    Going to finally start toying with the 5.0L this winter:

    - SLP loudmouth exhaust
    -BBK O/R pipe
    -Short Throw
    - 3.73 gears

    that's about it for this winter unless I find some nice white Cobra R wheels for a steal

    Winter project is

    - gt40x heads (been sitting on my workbench for a year now)

    - finish megasquirt wiring and get running with a base tune
    -finish suspension work
    - install new wheels and tires (going from 205 all around to 275 all around, should be a huge change
    -find a not-so-snowy day to bring in for an alignment

    Ice Dice wheels and tires and probably another set of summer street wheels and tires, plus fresh 245/40/17 RE-71R for Auto X next season. Was debating an accessport and rear sway bar but probably won’t go through with either.
    Not daily driven but my only personal vehicle right now.
    Im always shopping for a second car (summer car) but nothing I’ve found has given me the warm fuzzies yet. Looking at a C5 Z06, GT500 or another S2000 when the right deal comes along.

    Pics please, the high school kid in me still wants a foxbody. My perfect garage would have me trade in my IS300 for a 5.0 notch, with an E46 M3 complete w/ VF supercharger sitting on a lift above it.

    Neat! Buddy of mine is running a TT ON3 setup on his 2011 built 5.0. It's right around 800 some hp currently around 9lbs of boost. The ON3 kits are very capable. He's going with a single setup shortly for more power.


    For me:

    •drive a 2003 SVT lightning
    •planned for next season: tint, new tires, paint wheels black, lower front with springs, lower rear adjustable shackles more, traction bars, tint, LED headlights and fog bulbs
    •parked for winter? It's currently stored in heated storage for winter
    •am I planning on getting a new vehicle? If I decide to ill sell this truck and buy a new raptor.

    Is it black and gold(I think). If so I met that guy at Cam Clark fords show and shine, beautiful car.

    The on3 kits are stupid cheap and for the most part the fit is fairly good.

    Now that the cts-v is off warranty I might do the pulley mod thing to get it to 650hp. Anything above that requires real mods and I'm not that interested.

    The GTS is under cover and hooked up to its charger for the winter.

    •What do you drive?

    1981 GMC.

    •What mods do you have planned over winter for next season?

    I want to change out the carb for fuel injection. Every time the weather changes I have to call a priest to get it to behave itself. I don't have high hopes, but maybe I'll get better mileage with fuel injection too. 10mpg would be nice but that might be a bit of a daydream. I might also change the front tires. I wanted 275s, but they got lost and I was running out of warm weather so I just put some 245s on. It's certainly not a racecar but with the 315s in the back it has a bit of a push, so maybe a wider tire in the front will take some of that out. If nothing else it'll look meaner.

    •Is your ride parked for winter or is it daily driven?

    I could drive it downhill and then it would have to stay there until spring. It's parked.

    •Are we all getting old on here that nobody is really doing this anymore?

    I always find these kinds of threads really interesting.

    •Any plans for a new vehicle?

    No, I have too many as it is and I should probably finish this one first.

    so far, lol, ordered the antenna, got the hood pins installed and the hood is currently up being wrapped in xpel ultimate. Did a new power steering pump and a drivers side window regulator this past week, as well as added a button for the horn (nrg quick release steering wheel didn't have contacts for horn). Now gotta not be lazy and go to pick n pull before it gets too cold. without front mudflaps the side of my car doesn't stay nearly as clean as I would like. oh and I also pulled off the carbon fiber vinyl I had on the front grille and plastidipped it black. debating ordering an ebay grille one but not sure.

    Snagged a used Accessport this week. Still nothing on the summer car front which isn’t a big deal.

    I've been toying with the idea of an LS Swap and maybe a turbo set up as well. Haven't found the right motor yet though.

    Parked

    •Are we all getting old on here that nobody is really doing this anymore?
    Maybe

    •Any plans for a new vehicle?
    Maybe a new daily but not summer.
