Whats your Mod plans for the winter?????

I always like to hear about mod plans for the winter... Getting discussions going, and maybe even planning for some install events.

My plans are my usual... taking out the engine and pulling it apart

Old gas played its part in my latest engine pull, but I also plan on upgrading my turbos, to a pair of double ball bearing custom billet wheel, 62/62's. My current setup has 57mm and I am almost at the max of them. I also plan on upgrading my fuel system again. I have 2 Ford GT pumps running in returnless setup, but I will be going to a return style with a sumped pickup. This way I can get more out of the 60# injectors.

I also have tenative plans on buying a new truck after I get my return next year... so their might be mods in its future as well...

Anyways lets discuss what your plans are...

QTP 2.5in electric cutouts
Dakota Digital Quad Air gauge
Lower controls arms and relocation brackets
Carbon fiber chin spoiler

That's my winter install list.


What truck are you thinking about Will? Another deisel? I'd like to get a new FX4 with the ecoboost. My brother and I test drove one and the ecoboost is nice. With just a tune fastlane picked up 90hp

It be between the 6.7 in 350 form, or 6.2 in rap form...

You know I'm a huge rap fan

Fuel economy and just not sold on the crew look of the rap.

Finish the remod in the bathroom, then finish the basement round 3

The short list is:
Tint
Drop
Axle Backs - GT500 axle backs ordered 10/31/11
Black out panel delete - Found out this is all one piece (faux cap attached) not happening
Pastidip the wheels - DONE 10/23/11
Black out the grill pony
possibly tint the tail lights
We'll see what other things cross my mind

My mod plans? It's all about modding me this winter.

Soon enough, you'll all be calling me "Dr. Trunk Monkey".

(Shela will definitely get her HID fogs installed, as well as those damn MACs that have been hanging around.... And maybe, I'll talk to Will about those TTs he's upgrading.. "

suspension and maybe trying to get an 8.8 anything else is extra like finding a set of heads and cams to send out to get worked on

TT stang, what turbos do you have? i would love to get a turbo set up but im nervous about it

Sadly, Ashley wants us to buy a house in the spring/summer so my mod list is nearly non-existent.
I will be driving the F150 so I want that comfortable in winter weather so I'm getting:
-Smoked LED 3rd brake light to match the smoked tails.
-Grille guard because it is badass and will protect me when I ram the crap out of slow drivers
-and most importantly, a Viper remote start so I don't ever have to wait for my truck to warm up.

I'd also like to tint the windows on both my truck and my Mustang but this may wait until spring.

I bought a Groupon with Gotham Dream Cars to drive a Ferrari or Lambo for 3 laps around a track in Miami. That's not really a mod but it's where some of my car money is going.

I didnt see a date on my grouping Mike. When am I taking off?

It's good from mid-Nov until the end of March. I bought 3 but I never got my own confirmation e-mail. We'll look at flights when I get back and you call Gotham yourself to select your weekend.

I have a set of the QTP exhaust cutouts if you havent bought a new set yet. I am not going to use them so if your interested let me know.

My winter install list:

I just bought a tubular k member, a-arms, and coilovers, and some Comp Cams 270s. Looking to get that installed this winter. Hopefully I cant get some long tubes and finish the exhaust.

Love the reasoning behind the grille guard and mainly because I know you will use it for said reason.
I had Fresh Designs by Zaks parent's tint and install remote start in the Hummer. Fair price, excellent work, and Dougs a cool dude. I think they also tinted Bronsons old mustang and I know all of Zaks vehicles were tinted there.

I saw that groupon and was so tempted. If I would have know you were doing it I would have bought one. Should be badass.



Chris, I'm sending you a pm about the qtp cutouts. Thanks
