Maybe headers. A lot depends on what the fine forum vendors put on special over the next several months (hint, hint).

No mods to the car but the garage gets a fresh coat of paint and a new tile floor for the winter.

Probably headers, X pipe and a Vararam. And since I'm in Phoenix, probably take the roof off for the winter

Out here on the left coast there is no "mod season" except for the summer months when its too hot to go to the track (but we can still drive the canyons!). Next project for me is brake ducts.

Although after witnessing my "off" at Willow Springs last month Rupert Bragg-Smith suggested a "remedial" driving course at Spring Mountain!
