Well, winter is coming soon, and my baby is going into hibernation also (like for the last 10 years ).
Last year I completly overhauled it but I still need to finish minor stuff. Having driven it for the last 3-4 months as a DD, I know much things I need to do that I didn't think off or didn't have time to do last winter. So here is my list.

To do:
-Ground control coil over custom seats
-Lights in engine bay when hood is popped ( I just hate trying to fix **** in the dark )
-Welded intercooler piping
-Finish minor interior parts
-Reinforce/repair body kit
-Air intake ducking with in bay isolation box
-2 x Oil cooler or efficient air ducking
-Re-fix under tray
-Re-Fix wheel wells
-Jack and supply/tools placement/box
-Radio system and amp
-Replace FPD
-Install fire extinguisher
-Replace front calipers
-Drill rotors
-Replace front pads
-Replace under car gas lines
-Replace oil cooler lines
-Dual pulley for alternator (not under drive)
-Replace front tires with Toyos T1-R

Anybody in the same situation as me? Then list what you are gonna do this winter.

Maybe I'll get ideas on what to do. Or other members here will get ideas too!

I'm slightly anxious of putting her to sleep so I can finaly start working on her again and not worry about needing the car the next day for what ever reason.

 

donuts. lots of donuts.

 

Why wait for snow?! You can do that on asphalt you know? And after 3-4 donuts, it kinda gets boring.

Oh and adding to stuuf I'll do:

-Re-Paint some engine bay parts
-Clean engine bay
-Clean TB

 

Well I just recently picked up a vert soo:

-Replace top
-Pull turbo from my other FC
-Freshen up the turbo engine
-Send turbo to BNR for the stg 4 upgrade
-Wire up the Microtech
-Clean and swap over the turbo stuffs
-Buy all the other **** ill need like injectors, fpd, fuel pump, gauges blah blah


Then maybe if there is time ill put the n/a motor back in my other FC.

 

ya im kinda in the same boat. got lots of work i could do
clean up the interior
redo the stereo dins/make a plate to mount my avcr and wide band to
4" turbo back exhaust
start the car/find a dyno


o wierd question but what sort of fire extinguisher are you going to have? Im thinking that might not be a bad thing to have

 

I have a small one in a rear bin, picked it up at a garage sale cheap, but it's full...

And as for waiting for snow, I hate burning up tires, especially the ones that are on my '7 right now. Tires are so expensive, plus the cops won't bust my *** so hard if I'm 'quietly' spinning in the snow versus raising hell on clear asphalt.

for me:
fix lots of stuff. maybe get another motor to rebuild, then swap

 

replace/cut down on vacuum lines.

 

finish fabbing custom intake manifold, mock up and fabb twin turbo manifold, bridgeport and rebuild motor..,..


mine main goals for the winter


--joe

 

My plans for the winter? Drive it, as long as there isnt snow on the ground.

 

Ice rally for my FC!

 

1) Fix some bodywork
2) Store

3) Finish getting and deciding on parts for new engine build (EMS?, S5 UIM?, ITB's?)
4) start prepping parts for build up (Porting!! Weee!!!)

 

Put it in storage with my friends Datsun 240 and his 300zx.

 

Don't drill your own rotors. It's unsafe and won't provide any gains. If you want drilled or slotted rotors, buy em.

I've got a hell of a winter project trying to get mine running...it's been sitting for 7 years....

 

im going to get the underside of my car powdercoated...both subframes, a-arms...pretty much everything except the diff and axels. also put in new poly bushings

I ride a motorcycle most of the time so when there's ice out, I'm driving the FC. Did it last winter too. LOTS of fun
