Damn I can't wait until the Spring!!!!
 
Not only because of all of the mods I need to add to the beast but because there's so much I need to do to her such as:

Shampoo my carpets
Work on my paint to remove scratches
Clean and wax my paint
Fix the stupid starter noise on cold days
Fix my squeaking belts on startup
Create a better ground for my electical system
Rewire my speakers to my amp (i don't even want to get into that)

And I'm sure there will be other stuff but for now my car will continue to look like a junk box.:(

redmaxpa007 Jan 2, 2003 11:36 AM

i have new rims
300z brake upgrade
paint rear window spoiler and m3 mirrors (if they ever get finished)
powdercoat upper and lower trenz grills

I can do cold but this wet stuff has got to stop. It's been raining five out of every seven days around here recently. Of course those have to be like Tuesday and Thursday.

You guys with heated garages don't know how lucky you are.

I need to get my "go-fast" install rolling.

The most I have now is my own spots for both cars. I almost froze to death installing new H3's in my PIAA's.

Don't I know it. My wife wants to move because our neighborhood kinda sucks and the low interest rates, but I keep telling her, "It's got to have a heated garage."

Well that's a start.

I think over the past 3 years that I've had my car I've mastered the night-time install. When it's 80 degrees the mind can still compensate for lack of light and make the necessary adjustments. When it's 30 outside and dark, the mind uses half of it's capacity compensating for frozen fingers and cold ears. Thus, mistakes are much more frequent and have the potential for being that much more dangerous.

When does it start getting warm anyway? February? That's almost Spring. Damn El Nino.

I feel you Deezo...Remember last spring? We had those tune-up meets after the winter weather was over and my car got transformed because I was so anxious for the winter to end. I just say fuggetit in the winter. I've got a whole bunch of mods just collecting dust here in my room...I will be so happy when April comes!

Put on my new set of Rota Subzeros I just got, see my car actually clean all around, red/clear my tail lights, y-pipe, adjustabe fuel regulator, air/fuel gauge, fix all the dings, and possibily add on a supercharger in the summer.

Street Reeper Jan 4, 2003 08:35 AM

I actually like the cold when it comes to the car. The cold air let's sweetness breath better, and I can drive back to Dallas and have no bug splatter when I get there.

When it's warm, there are bugs everywhere, I have to wash the car three times, once when I leave, once when I get there, and once when I get back.

But I just saw the report on the weather channel about NY and NJ, I would be looking forward to the spring if I lived there, but i don't much snow in my neck of the woods.

MaxedOut Jan 4, 2003 10:15 AM
