Hopefully I can find an FD!! a clean one! Though it is going to be hard since I am still going to school...and also because my family's current house is a bit small...maybe by then we would've moved so there will actually be space for me to park an FD!!!

 

-actually drive my car more than 3 times
-pick up my extra parts from the Andy corner in IRP
-pick up my parts that I won at the bbq from Gordon's place
-make enough money to support this terrible hobby
-finish my interior 2002 spirit R conversion
-ugprade fuel pump and increase boost?
-99 spec turbos?
-buy more parts from Bryan
-KS headlights
-spirit r handbrake with leather
-red spirit r recaros???

The good news is I got the majority of my planned upgrades this year...
whew

-buy another FD, if I can find a cherry one, keep it cherry. If not, go 3-rotor N/A or LSx the year after.

wassup chud,
Why are you relocating your meth tank?

 

goals for 2010:
finish painting car over winter.
finish upgrades on fuel system and 3 bar map
run mis 10's
not blow motor

 

Spend as little money as possible on the car and do lots of track days.

 

Dynamat Blows compared to the stuff I use... It's a bit more pricey but it's worth it. It KILLED my droning inside the car over 75%. I'm doing another layer, it's going to be a tomb in there. I have a borla resonator and I'm thinking of just switch back to a high flow cat.

It's called Q-mat and it is the best hands down.

I'm ordering the 50 sheet pack for 350. I'm probably going to put some in my DD as well it is that good.

 

awesome, i'll check that out. I'm going with the spray stuff, then some kind of mat no matter what. I know it's a lot of weight, but i want it super quiet inside the car.

 

Get another FD.

 

- 500R Single turbo swap
- Chargespeed Widebody kit
- Pearl custom paint
- New interior to include racing seats (havent decided on what kind though)
- Large street port
- Dual oil coolers

im sure during the year i will find many many more things that i want to put on it lol

 

one of my goals as well lol.

this too!!!!!!

 

Get a fd or post more in the 3rd gen section

 

t04z conversion
WI
Fuel upgrade
450-500rwhp
Hope engine dosent blow.

 

to start on my newly purchased FD

 

My goals are

-Do a t56 or getrag v160 swap
-install new diff with new axles
-Hopefully get another FD(stock) if the boss permits

 

Trust me I'm the same way. You need Q-mat then, it sticks to anything. I have my whole interior transmission tunnel cover lined in it as well as my hatch, Rear plastics and against the inside of the rear of the car. It killed so much, it weighs more then dynamat but that's because it works a lot better. It kills the droning more then anything. I would do the spray first but make sure the stuff is weather resistant otherwise the Q-mat will come off due to the adhesion properties.

I'm doing my whole body this year right now I only have done.
The interior Trans tunnel
Rear Plastic divider - opened it up and lined it with Q-mat
Rear Plastics
Doors
Glove Box
Hatch
Rear tail section up to the rear wheels

To do
Line Rear bin section
Replace insul foam with Q-mat
Line the rear pocket sections
Line the inside firewall
Line the whole inside of the Dash
Line Exterior Transmission tunnel -

The stuff does NOT come off once it's on (Unless you pry it off, thus resulting in ripping some of your skin off. Ie me). I have it on some sections of my engine bay (Where noise is more prominent, Above wheel wells. etc) the stuff is water proof and heat resistant to about 125 degrees. I had a boost leak once when I was out, so I took some off the rear and closed up the leak on the turbo to IC pipe and it endured the heat no problem, it even handled 2psi running through it. I really cannot stress how good of a product this stuff is especially compared to the other brands. Order a sheet an trust me you will never go back to any other product like it again.

The other thing I would recommend is this, great against police and good for when you out just cruising esp with a girl. Apexi - Exhaust Control Valve aka ECV. It will quiet up your car beyond belief and will give it a nice tone as well.

Make my car move under it's own power for the first time in 3 years.

 

Let's do this.

 

My Goals..

1.) SHIP MY DAMN CAR TO SAN DIEGO
2.) Install my '99 VIS Carbon Fiber spoiler and Burnout Wide-body kit
3.) Paint # 2
4.) Buy some staggered-sized 19" rims. Not sure on what rims to get (Taking suggestions..)
5.) Either go Meth-injection or if it's Winter 2010, I wanna apply some of my re-enlistment bonus towards doing a 2JZ swap.

 

Manage to turn my car on and NOT place my hands/thumbs by the crank sensors while car is on.

 

-compete and win at some autox and road rally events (woot for scca nat'l champs here again!)
-coilovers (have HKS hypermax 3)
-meth kit (have coolingmist varicool)
-4x850s (have)
-supra fuel pump (ordering either this week or in 4 weeks)
-replace damaged rim and tire (ordering opposite of fuel pump)
-roll cage in february
-a clean way to mount my meth kit, amp, and sub in the trunk around the battery (glad woodworking is a hobby of my grandfather's)
-powedercoat the stock rims black and get some sticky rubber on there.
-possibly get cruise control put in my R1

what do you guys think I should order first? the replacement rim and tire for just under 300 or the fuel pump for 225?

One thing I've learned over the last 8 years, you can't over plan when you own a 7.
Realistically I expect quite a bit to be added to this list

 

Rims, Toyo R888, oil cooler upgrade, launch kit (trailing arms and etc), 2 way LSD, maybe a BNR stage 3 and.... a stable bank account. XD

I think the last one will be the hardest...
