winter projects v.06 - ScottyB - 12-08-2004
so what are you fools going to be up to over the break/holiday? nothin crazy for me, just general maintainance/winterization
-replace summer wheels/tires with the poopy stock ones
-maybe one more solid wash/wax if im manly enough to get freezing cold
-maybe put the stock brake pads back on since my fade/warping isn't too bad when its cold out
it'll be nice to have a garage again 8)

My list isn't just for Christmas break - it covers the whole winter season...
Keep working on the Z. At the moment, it needs the following:
Odometer repaired
Turbo timer installed
Headlights/fogs re-aimed
Exhaust swapped out
Remove mid-pipes and down-pipes, check turbos for shaft play (maybe a turbo replacement if I'm not happy...)
VR-4 brake kit
As for the Lightning:
Complete service, all fluids, filters, pcv, etc...
Fix air conditioning
Possibly replace rear-end
Dirtbike:
Repair handlebars and brake-lever
Repair shifter
General clean-up and maintenance as necessary

Oh, and the Subaru is getting winter tires mounted as soon as I can make it to the shop...

Mongooze - Don't you have to pull the motor in order to swap turbos?
white_2kgt - Please do a how-to on the conversion. That would be really interesting.

Starting Saturday I'm installing a new clutch / pressure plate / throwout bearing on the SHO - it's gonna be a blast

17" Wheels too, then?

If the Lude doesn't get sold, I will put the GSR ECU w/Hondata + bigger Cams I have on order. Plus attempting to purchase a second hand SMSP header.

general maintenance and fluids
check out drum brakes and prob replace pads
buy extra set of front rotors as backups
figure out what the strange sound is in the steering at low speeds backing out of parking spaces- prob the bushings on the steering tie arms
oh and a little project I have planned, but won't be announced unless it works :twisted:

Jack up car, unbolt bolts, wack self in nose w/ pry bar (still hurts btw), drop trans on floor (and foot), curse, go in house and call pete, wait for him to arrive (ahem!). There done. haha
How-To and many more pics are here,

It should be pretty easy, biggest thing is finding all the parts needed for the swap.

Do those things really work??? And wouldn't they restrict airflow when switched off?

no, they don't really work.

Yes. Hence why I'd rather pull the downpipes and see before getting any stupid ideas...

Main project:
Complete the Supra. This includes not only putting it all back together, but getting the tach and temp gauge working, running my boost and oil pressure gauges, figuring out an EGT gauge, and talking dad into helping me fab up an honest-to-god 3" exhaust with a pre-cat dump and a non-shitty Y-pipe.
After that's finished, I need to determine the Ultimate Fate of the Volvo, and go destroy some rubber.

VR-4 brake kit

No. The VR-4 kit is fits under the stock wheels with a 15mm spacer. And it's inexpensive. That's why I'm going with that kit rather than one of the larger and more expensive setups - initial cost is less and I get to keep the stock wheels (and cheaper tires too!).
