Your To Do list
So what is on your C5 To Do list?
Mine has grown lately as I am driving it too much and not working on it enough...though that is not always a bad thing! Wife and I went on a 850 mile trip to the Florida Keys last week so it was some nice behind the wheel time. I even let her drive....6 miles I think?
Anyway, my list:
Fix CD player
Add iPod "Changer"
Replace door weatherstripping
Fix rocking chair seats
Add antenna switch
Buy new rear tires (urgh $$$)
Consider replacing peeling chrome rims (double urgh $$$)
Hard wire radar detector
Fix leaking diff.
Add LED light to exhaust plate
?????

I am going to get started on my list this week! If I write it down, it will get done faster...so here goes.
1. Fix HVAC unit by replacing the light bulbs
2. Have exhaust realigned
3. Replace gauge cluster lens
4. Fix rattle in dash
5. Change oil (easy one!)
6. Figure out wiring for clutch switch, cruise control and reverse lockout (biggest of the list)
That's it for now....I think. She's been neglected ever since I bought my CTS-V two years ago. Time for that to change!

I really don't have a "To Do" list because I pretty much keep up on everything. The only thing I'm waiting for right now are my custom painted fuel rail covers and helmet, which will both have candy-apple red skulls on them.

Boy mine is overwhelming.....I just purchased this car and am waiting to start on it until I finish getting my Harley back together but so far I need/want to do the following:
1. flush all fluids and replace with royal purple.
2. Change rotors/pads/calipers (parts on order)
3. recover both seats and install new padding.
4. install a stereo system(going to madvette for it when I get a chance to).
5. Change my loudmouths for corsa pace system, install headers and have a tune done on it.
I've been looking at prochargers and other motor mods so that will probably follow. I would like to get the above list done this winter. I'll just have to see how much my free time allows.

First is to drive with lots of boost
Install bigger injectors 90#, back on the dyno and hope I have enough fuel pressure to 6800, if not hobs in a 420 pump to go with the dual intake pump, and then be ready to run the Texas Mile

- Remove the ipod adapter from my stereo so I can use my disc changer
- fix my cigarette lighter so I can use my phone charger
- put the car up on my lift so I can
Got a whole long (and expensive) list of mods and upgrades I want, but the near-terms on that list are JW's Deep Dish C6 Z06 rims and his sleepy-eye-mod headlights.
- fix my cigarette lighter so I can use my phone charger
- put the car up on my lift so I can
- remove and properly clean my wheels for once
- install my new tunnel plate
- install my Bassani x-pipe
This is just my 'can fix it now' list. Got a whole long (and expensive) list of mods and upgrades I want, but the near-terms on that list are JW's Deep Dish C6 Z06 rims and his sleepy-eye-mod headlights.

Change the coolant.
Change the diff fluid
Change the brake fluid
change the A4 fluid and strainer
02 coupe with 16K. It is time to do those neglected items. Oil and filter every 12 months (Nov.) but I have put off some of the other things.
Brakes and tires okay. Original tires look to have 60% of the tread left.
No other service has been done. This car just runs and runs.

I see a lot of JWs here and I like it!
I have so much to do since school has been taking all of my free time lately.
D/S Rotors
Hawk Brake Pads
LS6 intake swap
Oil Pressure Sensor relocate (3rd time replacing)
Fix CV boot
Install Hyperflash harness
Fix my gauge bezel that moved and has my RPMs stuck
Add custom gauge face plates
Full detail
Change tranny and diff. fluid
Change HID fogs from 35 watts to 55 watt kits
That's all I can think of right now...
