9.26 best mph of 163. My Ecu is taking a crap so i called it quits for the year. I’m literally just going to put a slick on the car and that alone should get me there. If I want to really get crazy I’m looking at pulling the motor and hard blocking it so it don’t split but F that noise lol

Im pricing out single kits. I’m leaning more towards a used kit since they are 5-7k new for no other reason than BS bmw tax. Missed one couple months ago for 3800$ but had a 35r. If nothing comes up I’ll do some suspension goodies and possibly some volks.

Meh, SC on the bmw this winter. I plan on either it ripping out the subframe or blowing the 150k motor.

I just need to finish installing my unit heater, and then finish piping my air line and filter dryer so I can epoxy my door. Then pull the other door and weld in some patches, then work on the rest of the car.

Nova is getting an LS1.  
Going to add in a fuel cell, hydro clutch setup and holley efi. I already have a rebuilt t-56 behind the sbc.  
Thinking of dropping in a ridetech 4 link rear while I’m at it.

Pulling the motor. It still runs great but the oil pan gasket is leaking and driving me nuts. Collecting interior parts. New rear end will finally get done this year. I would like to find a nice pair of heads and a smaller cam.

The only build I plan on doing this year is building up my saving account. Next year when I’m all moved into the new house I’ll consider a winter project. I’ll probably turbo the Miata and call it a day.

I’m still debating. Usually I can’t make up my mind on car decisions until I have a discussion with Jack Daniels.

Need a new fuel pump so I can run e85 in the DSM in the spring. Just want to clean it up other than that. Get a bunch of stuff powdercoated and get the clear coat fixed on the hood. Replace a broken door handle and maybe suspension soon too. The suspension I have is pretty tired.

My plans are an alignment since I just did tie-rods, putting on snows, changing out the stock head unit with a nav/dvd player, and a single 10" sub for a little kick. Also want to add a resonator since I cant stand the drone from the exhaust.

I’m gonna add a fan to the bike, bigger gas tank, maybe flywheel weight…

Truck might get head gaskets / studs, and upgraded turbos

Car will sit… someone buy it and go fast!

New tires & transmission mount. Other than that maybe I’ll finally tune the car. But it’s been enjoyable where it’s been for so long that I really haven’t cared to optimize my setup.
