winter upgrades??

trying to come up with some ideas to tell santa to get me for the fox. I was thinking strut tower brace and subframe connectors but unsure of which brands to get. Also,any other suggestions? For the summer i have planned: catback exhaust, re-do headliner, fix all cabin noise once new catback is in, and at least new rear rims w/drag radials soi can actually put this rebuilt engine to the test.

as you can tell, im not too worried about how the car looks. i actually have a friend who said he'd paint my car for me if i buy the paint and supplies, but im not about to get it painted without owning a garage:/

i say some wider tires! i plan on selling the sixer and move on up before spring then the modding begins

just got 4 brand new tires in august. And like i said, will be getting drag radials in summer!

What about an aluminum driveshaft or supercharger or sound system or short shifter or racing seats or go all out with neon underbody lights, huge spoiler, and NOS with plenty of window stickers

first note, in vid 2 how dare he route for the supra!!!!

and thats a real bummer man, 2 foxes both with blown HG (possibly). But as you said, youll be taking the engine apart anyways,so im sure youll find the problem and when you do let me know!

ohhh the 'luxuries' of a supercharger , haah

^^motor is already apart, blew between 2/3 and bent both rods on those cyl's and crushed a few of the rings in the ring lands on the pistons, = short block is toast, new short block will have probe pistons, skat rods and custon FTI blower cam and meth injection to lower IAT'S to avoid detonation, the 85 is still apart as well, haven't got the heads from FTI yet:(

well at least you wont be spending gas on them any time soon, lol

good luck on getting them both running strong!

after shoulder soreness, back soreness...8 chiropractic visits and finally feeling like crawling under the car..I have my new aod filler tube and pan installed along with the new filter, new shortys on...in the process of finishing up the(o2 sensors coming today) h-pipe, hopefully today or tomorrow.then on to mufflers and tail pipes..yeehaw...winter crap took way too long to get going but finally on a roll...throwin that h-pipe up by my self wasnt pretty but effective

edit....
took her for her maiden voyage tonight after not running since September..finally . damn these delta 50 flowmaster mufflers have a interesting(quiet) sound. but thats what i wanted for my drop top cruising couple more tightenings tomorrow we should be good to go. tranny seems ok with the new pan and filter .. now on to the intake drilling and tapping ...and a tune up!!!!!!

Good deal on getting it back on the road. Finding the motivation in the cold months can be a real bear.
