I know I'm not the only one who has been gathering parts in preparation of the approaching "car season". So post up what you have in the works!

I have the following sitting in the garage, and should be going on next weekend.
-New wheels (18's), and tires
-Cobra dual piston calipers
-New Cobra hubs (front and rear)
-Cobra cross drilled/slotted rotors

Next round:
-Suspension rebuild (UCA's,LCA's, tie rods,etc)
-Addco 1.25" front and rear sway bars
-IRS brace, front suspension brace
-Subframe connectors possibly

Oh, and might be repainting the car by the end of the month. :lol:

Sometimes I almost wish I was one of those people who just looked at cars as a tool to get around, and nothing more. However, that would mean I would be a very lame person. :lol:

I've had that same thought! But we would be pretty lame and possibly driving smart cars.
 
My 97 LSC is getting a huge facelift outside this coming week, cant say what yet, its a secret! putting my new tires on the car, installing my new pumpkin with tracloc and 4:30's thats in my garage, then handing diesel dan my tracloc 3:73 pumpkin, i have my valve covers at the stripper getting the factory black e-coat melted off, powdercoating them a mini texture red, i have a lightly ported and polished gen 2 intake thats going to the powdercoaters with the valve covers to get done gloss black, already have my black cobra throttle body waiting, lowering my front end another 3/4 of an inch, installing my new computer from KK with an SCT tune, removing my sniper tuned computer, fabricating a set of rear sub frame to IRS cradle brackets, will have them powdercoated also, taking out my single 6 channel amp and installing 2 new kicker amps, replacing my jl 10w0's with jl 10w3's, re-doing the whole trunk, new box, amp racks, and some hidden led lights. and i am still unsure but i may take off my magnaflow mufflers for a pair of corsa's, but my brother in law said his were way too loud on his 05 gt so not too sure yet. i am also gonna rebuild the front end and get it over with.
My 98 LSC is gonna get some new mufflers and another buff job for the wife and thats it!
