What is Winter? Sorry, us South Floridians don't know what that white stuff is. Is it raining sand?

J/K...had my fair share of that stuff when I lived in the North...that is why I don't live there any more.
Anyway, Mods this winter-season:
Bought a house in October on a golf course.
CCA catch can and chrome screws/tabs
MT ET Street drag radials on chrome rims
Hurst Line Lock
Corbeau A4 Leather Seats
Simpson 5 point belts
AS&M Harness Bar
Fire Extinguisher
2 Piece Fire Suit
Gloves & Neck Brace
Some other odds & ends as well.

Ready to drag race now! Hopefully for the next winter-season I will get some engine work done. Summer will be a new performance clutch in my Z.

Just dropped off some of the engine compartment covers today at a body shop to get some flames painted on them. That's about all I have done so far - still thinking about new wheels/tires though.
