    Winter Storage

    This is a day I always dread ... Took today off and finished cleaning up the Capri and put it in the garage for winter :( It's up on stands and ready to start on the next round of modifications anyway ;)

    Still working out details, and I will start a thread when I actually start but ...
    • New header. This is a big change affecting everything on that side, but it will be durable :) I will not live with this tube header BS any more ;)
    • New intercooler and piping along with 90* upper. Details are all TBD but I'm doing something different.
    • SFI bell housing. Required at 11.99 anyway, and now that we got QuickTime making one for us it will clear one of my big concerns. As typical it's not a bolt in so there is a lot associated with the change :(
    I've got some parts ordered, and am working out the rest of the plan.

    I was daily driving mine for the last month. Daily as in scrapping frost in the mornings, rain, whatever. I just put mine up because between work and hunting I didn't see another free day before Christmas ;)

    At-a-Boy Marko. I'll do the same thing with the CS when it arrives. I buy my sh*t to drive them, just not in the rain or snow.

    Then clearly you aren't trying hard enough. Do you still have that car or has your mullet finally come in ??
