New Year, New stuff to do....

So the point of this thread is to show off what you are going to do to your car this year.

In my case it is what you have accumulated and are finally going to install this year.

My list is almost done, just waiting on one part. Here it goes!

1) Install my FD fuel pump. (just got done breaking in, so time to install it)
2) Install my Taurus e-fan and wiring.
3) Install my boost gauge
4) Install my oil pressure, water temp, and A/F gauges into my 1FastT2 gauge panel
5) Install my Miata Short Shifter with 5sp RX-8 shift ****
6) Get car repainted
7) Get tires for my new wheels (later, no rush)
8) Re-do hatch carpet since bins are now gone
9) Suspension, the whole deal
10) Y-pipe and RB mufflers


Let hear it guys, whats on your plate?

DJ

dropping my car 1.5" and redoing the suspension. Depending on how low it will be after the suspension replacement, bodykit, and paint. BTW how hard is it to put in a Miata short shifter? lots of people are doing this.
