Today is the first day of spring, which here in New York, doesnt mean much as the weather has taken a turn for the worse lately. Anyhow- I figured I would post my winter project, which still arent finished, and by doing so, maybe some of you would reply, and give me some ideas, or vise-versa. I want to install a oil pressure/water temp gauge in a pod which I would paint to match the interior on my pillar, thinking of going with BLITZ gauges, I dont want to mount them where the 2 pieces of the factory radio are sitting under my Sony one as I like the way that looks. I am in the process of smoothing my radio surround,vents/climate controls surround and shifter panel and painting them black so they look part of the outside of the car and not the cheap textured plastic that they are ( also I had that familiar crack above the vents which I epoxied and smoothed out ). I also love the way those MOMO shift knobs look! I love the aluminum and black leather one! My exaust is showing signs of age, Its almost 5 year old now, and while the Borla mufflers and tailpipes are still shiny and new looking, the y-pipe looks a bit shitty , so Im going to have that done over in heavy gauge stainless ( I wish they sold a pre-silencer in stainless!). I think I may break down and put a high-flow catalytic converter on as well, the fumes from the exaust is starting to grow old on me, should I put this forward or aft of the silencer? im thinking forward? Im going to get the 2" lip on my rims polished as well. I have another aluminum hood that I think Im going to paint and put on the car, but if I do that, I think I want to put the East Bear light kit on? Has anyone put these on thier car? Is it a hack job or what? I also have a small oil leak which I just got at the start of winter when I took the car off the road, its slight, I hope its not a problem. Im thinking of taking the car to TYROLEAN MOTORS ( spelling?) if me and my regular mechanic cant track it down, anyone use them on Long Island or know a trust worthy mechanic since I cannot track down Kevin from Rotormotive? I still have fresh DEX-COOL antifreeze so Im good with that this year, and Ill do the ATF thing and throw some good plugs and a new set of NGK wires on. Damm- long post! SO whats your projects and how are they coming along????
