i know that many of you guys get breaks off of high school or college or whatever for xmas and got plans for their cars, with all the spare time. especially w/ all the posts on freebie mods on here lately

as for mine... i will be getting my header, and n1 exhaust. i'll also be porting the intake manifolds. if i get more time than that i guess i'll take out the air pump and do more body work

so lets here it, what's everyone plannin?!

 

New rims, tires, exhaust and manifold porting.

 

Ive been away from my car for 3 and a half months, so when i get back i plan to drive the sh** out of my car... hehe .. also im gonna get my six ports actuating a little earlier hopefully 3000 rpm or so, Autometer temp, and Air/Fuel guages, Electric fan, and hopefully a rockford fosgate amp to go with my 12" Jl sub i got sitting here... hmm... lol if i have any money left over maybe some wheels... but probably not this winter... oh yah and ricer stuff... lol

 

I'm hoping i'll find a TII in my area that i can afford and buy it.

 

Since I just got my 86 a couple of weeks ago, I plan to clean it up and start learning about the 2nd gen.

A complete overhaul of all fluids and a tune up.
Maybe some type of intake upgrade (drop-in, FIPK, etc) and prolly will have time to do the intake porting.
Possibly a Fiero electric fan in front of the rad to give a little more room in the engine bay.
Remove emissions equip.

She's coming back to school with me, so I will get to work on her over the weekends.

 

This holiday season is actually bitter sweet for me..on one hand, i blew my coolant seals so my car is sitting idle at my moms house, on the other hand i get to rebuild it and do it RIGHT!! Im going to buy a cheap used tll engine to put in the car so i can still drive it while im rebuilding the orignal motor on the side. i want to do exhaust and turbo upgrades as well as port it and add 3mm seals while i have it apart...a FMIC would be nice if i can find one at a resonable price. Then of course theres always all those electronic goodies! So for the next couple of months, Ill spend all my money on my new engine! Merry Christmas to me!

 

im gonna take the rubber tarp off the drive door and put a door on before it starts snowing

 

im going to find a big patch of parking lot that is snow covered and do some doughnuts.. (fingers crossed for some snow)..

im also going to take it skiiing in new york with me!

try to finish the stuff in my sig....

 

i'll be putting in a boost gauge and maybe just a turbo XS MBC if i can save up an extra $80

but other than that it will remain in hibernation till spring...

 

Stripping car to bare metal(including comlete inside and everything), getting mariah mode 6 sideskirts, rear bumper(maybe), and this front bumper (when I find out who makes it!!!!!). QTS alloy rims 18"(hopefully) painting the car kandy blue. 3" apexi dual exhaust (i think) or i will just make it out of mandrel bend aluminum myself. Custom intake, front mount intercooler (I hope i can make my 29x18x2.5" intercooler fit new plugs wires, apex seals. Still trying to find immaculate leaher interior. 3 guage pod. Custom gauge arrangement made out of fiberglass. 89-90 style tail lights. Aftermarket ECU (brand unknown at this time) hand-made aluminum rear-spoiler, or will just use wing from other distrubitor and make own brakets. Three MA audio P150xl's (15") Infinty component set, one MA audio HC2502(@1ohm, 1x2500w) and one MA audio HC504 (@2ohms x90w). Head unit not determined at this time. Custom fiberglass box. I hope for a T61 turbo as well, but this stuff is costing me a lot as it is!!! I plan to have it done by march-june 2002. Lets all pray lol.

well, i allready put in my new fluidyne rad that was my xmas present, i did that over thanksgiving, but havent' really been able to run her that well cause she is sittin in my driveway waiting for the man to put in a new clutch and flywheel, and some necessary stuff. so that is the main thing getting done over xmas is the clutch and most the stuff to do with it. then i'm gonna fix my passenger side window switch. the man's assistant (brent) is gonna be joining me in that one. then a good cleaning, get necessary stuff outta the interior, clean my intake, clean up the engine bay a bit, change oils, get inspected (and hopefully pass), put new rear tires on. basically essentials is what i'm getting done over xmas.

 

I wont be able to do jack ****, Im saving money to spend when I go on vacation on the 19th. I still have to pay for the $700 airfaire too. When I get back though, you better believe im ordering a new motor.

 

cant wait to see that happen, you need the RX running and driving and going sideways and vro0o0oo0om!!!

Bomex Bodykit, Street Port, HKS Turbo Upgrade...oh wait, that's my Xmas wish list! Back to reality...

Pickup a S-AFC and get the car on the Dyno and see how much more HP I can squeeze out of it with proper tuning!
