Ok everyone...post your winter mods!!
I have plans for 1.6 roller rockers, hardened pushrods, LT4 springs, Baer Eradispeeds, and new fuel injectors. What does everyone else have planned?

Paying off the summer mods and saving for next summer's mods!
I've spent so much money on my car lately it hurts. I'm also kinda the reverse of most Vette owners. My car is my only car and thus my daily driver. Being a student I can do without it in the summer easier than I can in the winter.
Oh well, it's all good.
I think I finally need to fix the 3 things that were wrong with the car when I bought it. Rear hatch weatherstrip, service ASR, power antenna.

Talking about "Winter" mods, has anyone here ever driven their Vette with snow chains?

Sell the Fiero, build a SB400 w/Edelbrock RPM heads and mild roller for the 'Vette. Oh, and finally tell the wife that I bought a 'Vette :D Anyone have an extra room that I can sleep in for a few days?

Heads, Cam, lifters, pushrods, 1.6 rockers, ported LT1 intake, SVO injectors, AS&M throttle body, Meziere electric water pump, TPIS long-tubes. Figure I'll start the work in January and that will give me plenty of time to get it ready for spring! :)

Installing the X-Brace if RD ever finishes it.
Stripping off old clear coat and refinishing the wheels.
Putting a screen at the radiator inlet so I don't have to clean it so often.

Well, if I can find employment by winter I'd sure like to pull the heads for a little pocket porting.
Otherwise, the only "mods" will be adding a little air to the tires as the air temps drop. :(

Some mild intake porting. Headers. Cat replacement (with pipe). New runners. Msd. These should help a little. Oh and maybe a hardtop if i find a black one cheep enuff.
