I guess mine would be to get something accomplished on mine. Whether that is to just get it drivable or get it drivable and get the body done too.
just some minor things..
60k
install new motormounts
install safc2
install 3 aftermarket center gauges
install aftermarket steeringwheel w working clockspring
maybe I'll try to make a front splitter in cf if I have time in the summer
that's all I guess unless I buy something new(like turbos) or something breaks
Great idea Alex! Good luck with the engine rebuilt - doing it all yourself? Should be fun!
My resolution is to get it out from the east coast to the west coast and actually drive it! It's been 4 years now since I've had an operational 3/S ... this year's the year to get back into the saddle!
install my sound system!!!!!
Address my front secondary pipe being s

I am hoping 4 45 sections and careful measurement will center the pipe between the T-case and oil pan
I wanna get my cruise control and horn working again. My plan is to rewire both to the center console. I've had my Momo wheel for 5 years, too long to be without a horn or cruise control.
A toggle switch to turn cruise on and off and then a push button to enable cruise? The ability to accelerate and reduce speed from the stalk is overrated and would just add more complication I would think. Curious how you plan on accomplishing it.Quote:

Show her what 500+ hp feels like, then abuse the hell out of her shoes!
Get Todds DR750/Stroker 97 working correctly.

Hit 600 awhp
finish building my woodstrip kayak that I started 8 years ago
pay off the 6k debt on my CC and 9k I owe on my truck
Eat healthier
Pay off 3/S related credit card charges.
Enjoy the result from aforementioned credit card charges.
Edit: Charge the AC as well.
I'm just going to use the stock switch from the steering wheel, but mount it upright on a panel where the ashtray is now.Quote:

It should run much better, shift much nicer, & have a much better interior than before.
Those that know me will get a laugh out of this:
Get a front bumper on the car.
But also, pull the engine and fix my silly issues
Your car just won't be the same with a front bumper on it..
I want to sell a 3s, put new tires on another 3s and go racing. Oh yea, also need to get air conditioning working... fawk
Pull my gearbox and install a SCE center diff in order to reduce understeer on the track.
Years ago I made a new years resolution to never make another new years resolution and I can say I've kept to it :lo5l:
Get it shipped.....finally!
Thanks! The plan is to do the rebuild myself and not screw it up.Quote:

Sell the parts I still have for it? LOL
Don't you mean buy another one? :suspect:
To get it on the pavement!
:cheerleader:
I will have to look but the cruise control switch on the ATX was in the console if I remember correctly.Quote:

Granny, there is the switch to turn it on on the console, but the switch to control it is still mounted on the steering column
I thought that was too easy.Quote:

Most of mine will be done in the next couple weeks as I have the parts on order right no to finish it off....
New A/C compressor - Mine just took a dump
New Front Wheel bearings
New Sway bar links
New Passenger side regulator
14G Turbos
New Windshield
Later on I need to get Chis@NinjaPerformance to figure out what that damn rattle in my trans is as I can't figure it out....
I may also look into new paint options for the car as the flat black on it is not holding up so well anymore. No UV protection so the sun is causing blemishes.
What parts to you have left :suspect:Quote:

Charged the AC today, so mark that off the list.
My billet T-case is still for sale. Have a lightweight stock sized crank pulley too, couple other things. Thread is in the for sale section.Quote:

But since I moved to Cali for a job, the cost of the shipping is fully tax deductible, so it seems like a good idea ... but please tell me about your bad experiences. I'm pretty nervous about it. :(
I want to get my Single Turbo SOHC engine built and get the car tuned and done before NG14. I have a long way to go...
Complete aero package, tuft wool test, and CFD model. Finish chassi integration with strain gauges. Finish new hood. Hit the track... Play with GoPro. Read more and post less on the forums.
A couple of you have mentioned doing an AC recharge or a compressor swap. Are you R12 or R134? Have you had any issues if it is R12? Nobody seems to want to touch mine while it has R12, and I don't want to convert to R134 unless it's a last resort.
Tom the problem is R12 is getting harder and harder to find since they can't make it anymore, that's why no one will do it. If you can find a shop that has any left then I don't see why they would have an issue.
Mine is/was 134.
Charge an arm and a leg for it anymore though. There are variants that will work in an R12 system but they're generally not cheap. Your best bet is going to be to flush the system, get a new compressor designed for R134 and get a new receiver drier/accumulator designed for R134 as well. Theoretically you could drain all the old R12 oil out of the compressor and clean it and then put a retrofit kit on it. You'd also need new ports that would fit R134. I switched mine by buying a complete R134 system off of someone parting their car out for 50 bucks. Easier and cheaper than converting. You could probably get it all (sans condenser anyhow) for a decent price shipped and then just flush your old condenser out a few times with mineral oil or something. Still need to get it charged, but compared to what a shop quoted to replace it all, I saved a few hundred bucks.Quote:
