What are your plans for winter?

Truck- find leak that popped up on my recent trip to STL. Build basic sub box, install component set, install small amp.

CRX- Install new radiator, paint calipers, PDR dent on passenger side, install new shocks, look into complete repaint.

93 EX sedan- Install GSR engine, 4.7 FD trans, bolt ons. Bilstein/Neuspeed coilovers, larger front sway, ITR rear sway/ASR brace, ???

99 LX sedan- replace headlights, install EM1 grille (actually already done) and lip, install alarm/remote start.

Cadillac- Install different head unit but keep OEM amp/sub/speakers for now. Probably update front mids, all 4 front tweets, center channel. Look into a free-air 12" sub to replace the factory one; possibly build a box that fires through factory rear deck opening.

Camaro- finally get the drivetrain installed. Bolt ons, bigger front brakes, get roll bar wrapped in leather.

Wife's Camaro- basic detailing and maintenance.

That is all I have plans for so far. Winter is pretty long so I'm sure I'll end up with a few more projects...

How in the fuck can you guys afford a $70k car? And why an M3? For that price just get a GTR

Just buy a used injen they are cheap.

-Sound system almost finished(waiting on amp in mail and gotta get a box).
-Buying my H&R Sport lowering springs back from friend
-Custom make cold air intake
-Maybe a Magnaflow muffler(clean looking one)
-HID kit

Dont forget the over the axle pipe to make it a true 2.5"
And please do a retrofit for the HID kit

As far as my projects go....

Eclipse: Start it once a month probably leave it alone who knows...

Cobalt: Swapping on a different set of wheels for winter and finish wiring the amp and sub maybe a downpipe and tune.

Camaro: control arms,cam & valvesprings,new dash,new seats,new front fender and bumper,new front tires,lowering springs,larger or dual fuel pump,larger injectors and if I find a good deal on an 18x9-18x11 wheel set I might grab those. Other than that a good 4 inch exhaust and a tune and she will be good for a while.

Just installed the sound system, sounds good. worked immediately, no diagnosing ground or power

. Ordered a brand new set of sprint lowering springs, got em for a steal. I may have a set of H&R sport lowering springs for a 2.2 or 2.4 cobalt, they are used but i'll sell em cheap once i get em.
how much is a cheap used injen kit? and where can i get one? i was gonna make a kit outta abs or pvc, one of my friends did it before and it worked great.
what do you mean a retrofit for the HID?

Pay off the last 4 payments of my house... then I will probably end up purchasing a civic for a daily driver and hunt for an FC rolling chassis for my race project.
