so my winter plans
dont kill my Toyota!
I just know quite a few girls who go/went there.
axles are a lot of money for the car, and even with a smaller turbo i’ll still break the axles in there. and i thing a smaller turbo would actually make the car faster at this point. without spending a ton of money i can’t take advantage of the turbo on there. oh and read the other post where it says, i’m broke.
Ive gotta get the front bumper repainted (Mustangs and plows dont mix) and get some rust spots taken care of on the right 1/4 panel (year old bodywork rusting already).
Im waiting for my tax returns to do that stuff.
Other than that I dont want to do anything else to the car.
Its currently getting a motor noise fixed right now thats hopefully just two bent pushrods.
its just tires. they came off a toyota tercel my sister had a while back. we got tires before winter but the car died, so we never got to use them, so they’ve just been sitting
My winter plans…
Kill my Civic!
youd cry if you killed the caged hotness
Lot’s of LOL in this thread.
found a shell here but he wants to much for it, thats why I think im just gonna keep looking for an s13 shell. and theres lots of parts I dream about for the civic, like CT engineering headers, tanabe medallion touring exhaust, c.a.i (arc superinduction box once it comes out), reflash from hondata, tein basic damper, bbs lm 17x7.5 48mm offset password jdm cooling plate( once it comes out for my car which I’ve read should be pretty soon), titanium battery tie down (replace ugly black one), and a whole bunch of other stuff like camber kit, lca ect. but that’s a long way off because I’m broke and I have other things for other stuff I’m purchasing first. like I said DREAM :lol
Looks like my plans might be changing. I might be needing a bit more work on my motor so if it gets torn down any more I might geta new shortblock for it.
It still has the noise.
It’s not really winter, but this was in my plans to get done. Test run of the installed Defi gauge. start/shutdown sequence. Just finished hooking this up and uploaded the video. hows that looks? i am still working on a panel for it though, so dont worry about the wires you see.
cobra
maybe adding a few Hp under the hood
coilovers
rear end brace
jetta (prob gonna be spring time once the stang is back on the road)
get decent rims
coilovers
full wire tuck
maybe rebuild the motor, it still runs good but I can tell its starting to show its age

Need to buy a newer and more reliable DD. Not sure what I want yet.
Also plan on getting the motor in the Supra by the spring.
