Re: Winter mods?
 

Yaaay! i love these threads!

BeaterX gets more maintenance. Check on cam clearances, it's noisier than I remember when its cold and its been burning oil ever since I burnt up that spark plug.

MR 2-piece rotors, gotta get them turned
Testing the new Girodisc S/S orange pads, hopefully they stack up to my beloved ferodos!
Fresh brake fluid
finally found some wheel spacers & extended lugs, gotta find time to install them
New rims?
Other than that, plow snow with my X :)

That kinda sounds like fun! I wouldn't mind helpin!

psh that doesn't count! They should be on already :P

You talking about the same thing here? I wanna see 88mph + a flux capacitor on that hog

Leave it, enjoy it :)

Why MHI when we have MAP in our back yard? :)

Re: Winter mods?
 

Nope; but rather MAP's response to said turbo.

Re: Winter mods?
 

Guess I'm not in the whole Evo X turbo loop. But wouldn't one of MAP's existing EFx turbos already be similar to it?

Re: Winter mods?
 

ef2 is smaller and ef3 is a little bigger, so I guess something inbetween.

Re: Winter mods?
 

Hence the EF2.5 :)

Re: Winter mods?
 

scheides you have a catch can on that X? Was it #1 plug?

Re: Winter mods?
 

I haven't been around much lately, sounds like I've missed a little. The gf and I are buying a house, so that will be mod #1. Then after we get settled, I'm gonna talk to my uncle about buying his 280z. It has been sitting in a pole barn for probably 20 years, but it's in excellent condition.

Re: Winter mods?
 

Some of what I’m going to be doing in the next few months.
Take my shep trans out and send it to jacks to get it redone again..
Going to powder coat my brembos and re-install with new pads ss brake lines, and rotors that I already have sitting here.
adding a 9 turbo to it also.
Pick up some qtp's for some stock wheels on the dsm.

Re: Winter mods?
 

Ooh. That is one mod my car could actually use, a real catch can/breather setup, instead of that BS I have rigged up now so it would be "good enough" for Proving Grounds.

Re: Winter mods?
 

No catch can, just vent to atmosphere.

Hrm, can't remember if it was #1 or #4...

Re: Winter mods?
 

Look for a turbo kit for the bike or car. Thats my winter mod for winter. hope winter goes by fast this year.

Re: Winter mods?
 

Any of you guys do any of the winter mods you had planned?


I need to still buy all of mine I had planned

Re: Winter mods?
 

I definitely did! I decided not to go with the upgraded clutch fork or the full blown dual pump hanger. I completely rewired my existing sending unit.

My engine and clutch disks are in.

A turbo will be ordered once I get my tax refumd

I have a lead on some carpet and headliner

Will be finishing it up and starting her up on Tuesday with the old turbo

Re: Winter mods?
 

I went and started mine at the storage place yesterday.

Re: Winter mods?
 

Both done. I set my standards pretty low so I don't disappoint. :D

Re: Winter mods?
 

I haven't done a damn thing. Hoping to start in the next week or so.

Re: Winter mods?
 

My car is at db now. Getting a surge tank fuel lines a pump and retuned for E98.

Re: Winter mods?
 

So far, I have done more than what I originally thought haha and not done yet.

Got the trans sent out, waiting to hear from shep to see what all needs to be fixed on my stage 4 trans.

Bought a PTT twin disc so I don’t have to send my trans out every winter to get serviced due to my act dragging at high rpm's Also got the Isuzu slave and a coned TOB for good measure.

Got a larger ar housing for the 6262 to make a bit more power. Went from a .58 t4 to a .68 t4

Installed a full ss clutch line.

Shaved and Powder coated my transmission motor mount

Did some weight reduction. Removed rear seat belts/brackets and rear wiper and hatch sprayer.

Installed new oem heater core hoses and shifter linkage bushings.

I powder coated my brembos acandy red with and installed with new pads/rotors/ss lines/ate super blue. (evo)

Started to fab up a flaming river batter cut off through the key hatch hole.

Left to do.
Find some light wheels to use for slicks.
Order some fluids and put the car back together.
Re heat wrap my downpipe.
Install a new spindle with wheel bearing

Re: Winter mods?
 

I've bought some of mine, but its too damn cold to work on it right now haha.

I need to pull off my 1300cc injectors as I sold them last week. Time to man up and go 2000cc injectors I guess. Not looking forward to dialing them in on stock ECU but on e85 it should be doable.

Re: Winter mods?
 

Same setup sitting in my garage too; probably wait until spring/summer to get them installed though.

Re: Winter mods?
 

I wonder when those new FIC 1600s are supposed to come out.

Re: Winter mods?
 

ID has some 1700's coming out soon too.

Re: Winter mods?
 

I have spoken to FIC and ID and both are still testing them. I am trying to convince FIC to let me test their 1600/1700 ones but I am not going to hold my breath. Still waiting on the response though to try and test them.
