I just won and paid for a set of Richmond 4.10 gears on fleabay. I have every big item I need except for the converter which I will order around mid month. I hope to get a baseline at Cecil in March if it will ever stop snowing by then. I still need a few odds and ends for the rear, but overall I am doing this very nicely on a budget.
What are you doing to your car by spring?

If this new job pans out the way I believe it will (have to triple check my pay rate as I seem to black out each time we talk about it), I'll have an extra $1000 a month just for mods.
Soooo....if things go the way I think I "heard" they will..
Mods:
Rebuilt front end (upper/lower CA's, bags)
Powder coat valve covers
Conical filter w/ heat shield
Dyno Tune
4.10's with Eaton
....for the first round. Then plan on saving for the 6 speed swap. And somewhere in there I plan on modding my WJ as well. That will be getting a new 4" lift, new tires, headlights, roof rack, offroad lights, and a posi in the rear.

Oh I get a dose of that too. My daughter moved back in with her mother when her grandmother was dying. Thankfully she is nearly 15 now.

Custom TB neck for this S197 twin 55mm TB Ive had for a year
EGR delete, screw CELs
New wheels and tires
Go to the track
Get a real tune, none of that canned generic BS
Go back to the track
LT's and a re-tune
Track
Tur.. Sorry got excited there. Ive decided that I probably wont go with a power adder, but only if I manage some kind of 13 during the first track trip. Ive have quite a few parts just in case tho. That mod bug is a betch during that season.

That sounds like an ambitious weekend but one that I might take you up on. Just gotta finish my a couple more rooms in my house before I can touch the car without someone getting upset...
Hell He will do it, just ask me how I know....just have enough food ready.
Doesn't matter what kind of food, I don't think it even needs to be cooked.
And watch your fingers.
Going to put in a sound system, glitch ballast , new compressor maybe a spider valve, put wider tires on my 18s.
Maybe re-do the ext. the drone of the straight pipes is getting to me.
Rattles the rear view so you can't see, and its rattling the dam interior trim loose.
Not to mention it wakes up the whole house when I leave at 5 am

Well I guess I need Spring to wait a little longer cause all my Spring mods are almost done! :lol:
Brakes are completed
SCT is in and tweaked
ASHAM should be here next week
New front tires are now on
Geno should have my caps out this week
Dents gone
New bumper is installed
Only have the detail, gears and sway bar left. Since I need another rental the gears will prolly wait a month till they get done. The sway bar is also delayed untill I put in new bushings and ball joints.

...having second thoughts on what to do with all this extra money I'll be getting from the new job. Really thinking about fixing the few things wrong with the Mark and turning it for a profit, and saving for something much faster.

The bike will get a 520 conversion, paint, maybe different subframe and tail. Mk 8 will get some suspension braces or bigger sway bars, maybe bigger brakes, possible little mod for motor ( chip, underdrive pully, lighting MAF, electric water pump, ) if the job I'm waiting for comes thru possibly p&p the head and cams.

Well Spring is here I guess and I am not quite done. Still need to order the exhaust and sway bar but everything else is pretty much done. My ASHAM8 controll bezel should be done this week so I should be able to install it this weekend.

Install 10.2mm wires and tokikos that Laser ordered for me, install k member, oil filter housing gasket, intake manifold gaskets, painted intake tube and probably a new TPS if it's still misfiring, power steering hose and both heater core houses and burp the system... I'm really tired of buying a bottle of oil, ps fluid, and coolant every week
Decided to pull my Piece-O-Crap out of the shop and dust it off, had this junk for a year and have driven it like, maybe 1000 miles if that.
So I figured I should probably drive it around, it'll probably get better gas mileage than my truck.
