Whats on your "to do list" this winter?

Well it's getting to be that time again. it's been cold and its only a matter of weeks if not days till the snow starts flying.

what is on your to do list for this winter? any major builds? or fixing anything? or just gonna rub the car down with a diper? picking up any cool parts?

I have to figure out what's making noise, my trans or rear end, and starting my projector headlight retrofit.

Partial kitchen remodel, wooden boat restoration commenced on Saturday.

240 is going to sit under a cover in the corner of the garage where my wrx sat last winter. I will occasionally fart on it. Maybe buy some parts for it this winter if fundage allows.

-Swapping from 4 lug to 5 lug.
-Installing new set of rims with new 255/40/17 Kuhmo XS's for next race season.
-Full 300ZX brake swap (maybe just fronts, only get fade on certain tracks, and only in front)
-SS brake lines
-Carbotech pads with some Motul or ATE fluid.
-Roll and pull fenders to fit the new meats.
-Adjust ride height till roll center says NO MOAR.
-Re-corner weight.
-Re-align with more camber in front (tire temps still super hot outside).

Car will just sit under car cover though. Last track day was yesterday at USAIR, no moar racing. sad day.

I have too much planned... Will update build thread probably.
To sum it up...
Swap everything from my coupe to a cleaner one...
Upgrade the entire fuel system..
New piggy back..
Paint the new shell

I want to try a quad projector set up.

Oh nick its gonna be soooo much fun!

Make Money to buy more parts. Clean up vacuum hoses and wiring in engine bay. Fix Trunk release(Thanks Nick and Liz for the cable). Clean interior. Track down LSD. Buy seats hopefully. And have minor rust fixed and body painted. Maybe a little to ambitious though. We'll see.

figuring out what motor i wanna put in
sell my sr
replace my windows at my place
get my winter beat fixed ASAP
and part out my other hatch

slowly buy full suspensino parts for the hatch...
get my new facebook going for my team and smash some shows and some hoes....

Recently got a couple puppies, going to get the mt.cur going in agility and the border/ACD mix doing some obedience work.

remodeling the entryway, painting the staircase to coordinate with the new basement floor

keep an eye out for the perfect new home, more land and more sheds and outbuildings for all the cars and 8N tractors.

Probably suspension/fender/wheel setup work. It's alot of work (for wheel noob like me) to get a satisfactory setup.

What wheels/suspension you planning on going with?

im just ganna save some money to get both of my cars painted get some decent rims for my coupe, an also save money to buy a trailer so i can haul my car to events an not having to worry the car breaking down on the way back home

thats a good idea, get me one too!

i just realized ohhhizzzy is the one guy that i really wanted to trade 240sxs with...lol... took me long enough.... haha

Anyone been working on there car's yet? or is it too cold still?

ive been working on the vert a little... i redid the back panels with leather and made a ebrake boot... i also smoked the orange part of my tail lights a little darker and working on debadging it.... to cold to swap tranny out and start body work.... btw if anyone has a 240sx shell they dont need anymore, i would like to come and chop out some pieces to fix my rust... and yes ill pay for the parts i cut out

what parts do you need to cut out??


i started my winter fun... took some of the things off in the engine bay...
and i started un wiring all the gauges gadgets inside the car... theres alot of wires under there ughhh.

i need the rocker/door sill piece right under the driver and pass. side doors... these arent my pictures but it looks like the my rust except mine is rusted through....

i would post up mine but you guys might tell me its a lost cause and i should just buy another 240sx....lol

if it's anything like that one, i would tell you to do the same. 240's are pretty easy to find if you have patience and have some cash, no reason to put that much time and effort into one unless it's got some sort of sentimental ties to it or if thats the one style you've always wanted.

or if it has sentimental value to you u can always get a new one and swap everything over, then youll have 2 240s lmao.

gotta figure out a way to populate Jacksons cove.
