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. Sent from my iPhone 6 ---

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. ---

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. ---

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.
