Yes, it's that time of year again and I figured I would start up the fun by hearing everyone's 2013 New Year's Resolutions for their 240sx, Project car, boat, etc.

For last year's resolutions (for reference)... 2012 New Year's Resolutions (http://zilvia.net/f/chat/427610-2012-240sx-car-new-year-resolutions.html)

How it works, let everyone know what you plan on doing over the course of 12 months with your car:

What Mods do you plan on buying / installing?

What type of Build do you plan?

What time do you want to run? track related?

Track times, events, magazine spots, 12 months on jack stands?

And any other car related goals for this year.

Did you finish your 2012 goals?

Then we can all look back a year from now and see what we've accomplished.

For those who are looking to get a head start on your goals... use the following code "NEWYEAR2013" to get 5% off your order during the month of January good for the first 100 orders.

I want my engine to make amazing noises and do some nasty burn outs, but most importantly, I want it to run so I don't have to build anymore...

paint my s13 and drift it as often as possible, and resist the temptation to spend s13 money on the kouki daily

hmmmm i'll bite.

What Mods do you plan on buying / installing? Already bought a full array of AEM Digitial gauges (Trans temp,water temp,oil temp,Oil pressure and Wideband failsafe) and a 4" velocity stack, Got some HKS Hypermax Coilovers. Got a new Timing belt,waterpump and tensioners, As well as a Digital Climate control. Gonna be ordering some new tires and a Speedhut speedometer and Tachometer and building a custom gauge cluster. And might try to throw the remaining aero on the car.

What type of Build do you plan? Driver, Seems i set goes to see track time but it dont see enough street time. So i want to get to show shows and meets, get the car onto the drag strip and maybe autocross and would love to bring the car to Road America.

What time do you want to run? track related? Would like to see the car go into the 10's in the 1/4 mile in street trim which it should do. And would like to see if i can get the car to Road America. Would be neat to see it get "featured" somewhere but i could care less. 2013 is all about fun and doing what makes me happy.

Did you finish your 2012 goals? Nope, No track time. Spent too much time on the Dyno and fixing stupid stuff.

I only have a small list of things to do this winter.

Fit new tie rod ends and steering rack boot, oh and a new clutch/flywheel!

Get my new S15 T28 fitted and then re dyno tuned.

Enjoy the summer, only did 2,000 miles last year :2f2f:

Got most of my list accomplished last year, and I would have had coilovers but I ran into some bills that needed to be paid.

This year a few big projects to be done.

- Coilovers / Toe Rods / Traction Rods. - CHECK
- S13.5 metal conversion fenders.
- Body work and new paint color.
- New wheels. 17x8.5 / 17x9.5 - CHECK

And for maintenance I'm most likely going to rebuild my transmission. I have a feeling its on its last leg.

Only got two things accomplished it appears. HKS coilovers, SPL toe and traction rods and LMGT4's in 17 inch!

For this year:

- Tear down S13.5 for body work and paint.
- LMGT4's refinished and painted.
- Get the SR to 300hp.

this year my resolution is to leave it as stock as possible.

I actually followed up on last year's resolution :bigok: But I guess it doesn't count, since I sold my 240 by March 2012 lol.

for 2013 (until 2017)- same thing. Leave it in the same condition (mods wise) as it currently sits.

Re barrel my front wheels with big lips and use my rears up front and newely widened wheels out back. Roll/pull front fenders to fit new wheels. Lower it and get more camber in front. Some type of cool bolt in cage. Kouki tail lights and garnish and finish the rear interior would make my year!

Get a project hatch and start on a rb26 swap for my oh so minty kouki. Then get jdm aero for the kouki and deciding on whether to keep sharknose or go 180sx aero for the hatch when i get it. Drift the hell out of it while keeping it relatively clean. I like the clean look
