Just wondering if or when you guys/gals are going to start putting on your spring/summer time goods i.e. wheels, CF stuff, mirko, etc.

I'm debating myself if I should start or not. The wait is killing me. I still have to get some paint work done but that won't be for a little while yet.

umm first weekend its over 70 im doing my interior. as far as body parts they are going on as they are painted becuase they need to form the paint to the body
 
Summer wheels will probably go back on this weekend. The Mirko goes on when the mood strikes or there is a meet. Otherwise, it sits on a shelf in my garage.

The mods that I have planned require a shop, and good welding skills. There will be a change in my exhaust this year since I hate the Magnaflow muffler (in place of the resonator). Bye-bye Magnaflow. :)

Other than that, I'm going to take the seats out and steam clean the carpet. Not that they are filthy or anything but, that's just me, I need to do a good cleaning every so often.
 
Over spring break i put the ST200's on...and the next day ,it snowed...go figure. Thats ok, since i dont drive the car while im in school...but still its ironic.

Pretty soon/over the summer, ill be doing a few mods like rear drum-to-disc conversion, eyelids, painting that stone chip guard thing on the bottom of the doors and various other things

woohoo...spring/summer rules!!
 
I'm going to be putting mine the the body shop soon to get the back end fixed from the hit & run. And maybe, just maybe, if I finally feel up to it...I will put my pillar pod in. I mean hell it's only been in my gargage since last July. :blackeye:
 
update i am also getting a svt rear now so all my mesh will be in soon. i am just waiting the riser plate to put in my short shifter. now that i got both svt bumpers i gotta save up a llil $ to get both painted. not sure my girl will like a silver rear on her black baby. :)

I'm thinking about putting the summer 18's on. Being that I want to PB Blast all the nuts and bolts on the suspension for this weekend and taking off the wheels would make it way easier to hit everything. Might as well throw on the 18's.

You might as well. :) It's a good excuse to put them on.

You guys had better take some pictures for me. I wish I could come out but it's just too far of a drive for me.
 
as far as i know i am... Tasso hasn't responded to either of my 5 PM's since sunday... so i don't know whats going on with him. Either he's ignoring me, which i don't see why he would, or he just can't get to the internet everyday. but I'm planning on gettin it shipped to DanG in VA, and then i have to figure out how to get my car down there :confused: after its a done deal, i'll order all the misc parts for the installation from Bill J. in NV.

does anyone know where i be able to rent a tow dolly or something?

what are you doing? put that in only, took me about 2 hours. but i still have not hooked up my oil pressure sender. :) i want some ones help with that as i got no clue what to buy as far as adapters, or where it goes. all i need is some one to say this is what you need this is where you get it and this is where is goes.
 
I just posted for an update in your other thread Andrew. Should have checked here first.
Yep, Ian is right, Uhaul.
