I am hopefully going to be getting a 3600 stall converter and some sticky tires on weld wheels. Strange adjustable struts and lakewood 50/50's with upper and lower ca's are also going on.

**Sonic03snake** · 11-10-2006, 12:28 AM

What are you up to Lou?

I really hate to say this but I LOVE my car just the way it is finally! Now I'm not sure how long this will last but for now I'll just be doing the usual winter TLC. Clay bar, Zaino, engine and interior detail.

Pulling the motor to smooth the engine bay. Possibly give the old mill a re-freshing, if needed. Looking to do some heads and intake. Re-building the trans. Second and third blocker rings are going out. Re-do the shitty cobra hood thats on the car now. this must have been the the throw away pile of hoods and I was lucky to get one. I just did all the other stuff I was "going to do for winter project" which was the 5-lug conversion with the PBR calipers and new spindles. Subframe connectors and gears. My wife is buying me the coil over conversion for the front and the adjustable rear lower arms for christmas.

**wick** · 11-10-2006, 10:23 PM

There was more she was going to get for me but I just cant remember right now. She wants a baby in return though. That might be her winter project. HAHA Anybody want to buy a bad ass Raptor? HAHA

**speedracer** · 11-11-2006, 12:52 AM

Some form of added boost and some weight reduction.

**Martin0660** · 11-11-2006, 05:43 PM

For the Capri....

1) Full length subframes.
2) A clutch that will hold up ;) Probably a Spec 3+, plus a flywheel shield.
3) Install a wideband O2 sensor, and add a fuel pressure gauge.
4) New cam (probably an A237 for those that know 2.3's)
5) Drag launch springs front and rear.
6) Looking for some weight reduction.
7) Clean-up of the interior and the underhood stuff I threw together last winter.
8) 6 point bar and a small wet shot are being considered, probably wont need the bar if the N2O dont happen ;)

Winter plans for the LX
1. Install AEM computer in car and tune it on the dyno....Speed density
2. Get a pro shifted tranny...up in the air between a g-force or a tko.
3. Install the tubular k-member that I have had sitting around for a while....probably going to go with tubular a-arms and coil overs at the same time.
4.Move battery to the back of the car.
5.New upper and lower rear control arms and and anti-roll bar
6. Electric water pump
7.ELIMINATE WEIGHT!!

im starting all over from the ground up with my car. this whole terminator thing is getting boring, played out and too easy...i need a challenge. i would love to stay modular and go with a turbo but it's not financially possible if i want to race next year. as long as it's something i haven't done before, fast and will be ready for next year im game. anybody got any suggestions? good luck to everyone on there projects!

Here is an idea for you.... Do a dart 9.5" deck with some TFS R-series courtesy of TEA, a super victor, pro fogger, solid roller, a glide, keep it carbed, light weight, a set of wheely bars, and an eight sec. spec cage, then have a good time
