Winter projects completed?
What did you guys do?
I pulled the rear end for new 3:45 gears among other things, thought it was hard, but was something easily anyone can do.
Also, put in new crank & rod bearings (engine in the car) , new intake, pulled and reinstalled engine wiring harness.
Doohhhh, please move to C4 General

Well, I lack the technical ability, so I talked to seeyaa and he's going to give me a hand with it this weekend. Car is stock outside of the exhaust right now.
I'm doing a SR, 219 cam, 1.6 Promags, melling lifters, CNCed 113 heads (good flow numbers vs. after aftermarket stuff), Hooker LTs and Y-pipe bolted up to the current flowmaster exhaust, and he's doing the tuning.
I play competition paintball, and a speedshop up in Manchester just sponsored us. This summer, he's dropping in a dino at his shop, so I'll have some ideas on what it pulls. : )

I started attacking the fuel delivery issue; got the new pump installed but snow and other issues have hampered doing the filter.
For spring I will be ordering the weather stripping kit.

nope. I still have to pop in a new slave cylinder and change out the plugs and wires. So much for a schedule, huh. My garage is so damn messy right now I can't move around to find my tools. :o

My list isn't long, but i'm still getting nowhere in a hurry.
Winter is over here, for the most and my car is scattered throughout my house. My stereo upgrade is turning into a complete disassembly

One word.....Supercharger.
Installed an ATI Procharger with Intercooler. I am just about done. Along with the supercharger were injectors, MSD-6AL, new stage 2 clutch and aluminum flywheel, AFPR and a chip tune.
Fixed the leaky intake manifold gasket and oil pan gasket. Replaced u-joints and every seal that I saw when I had everything apart.
Should be a good summer.
