2011 New Year Resolutions for your car!

[Coolwhip]

Yes, it's that time of year again and I figured I would start up the fun by hearing everyone's 2011 New Year's Resolutions for their 240sx/Project car/etc.

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

For example:

What Mods do you plan on buying / installing?

What type of Build do you plan?

What time do you want to run at the track?

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

And any other car related goals for this year.

Also, did you finish all the things you planned for 2010?

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

[MisawaJason]

Hopefully I can get the DMAX kit painted and installed, the interior caged, and the LS swap finished before the end of 2011.

[HPKMotorsports3]

buy some god damn 3m tape to fully mount my boost gauge im gettin sick of it laying on my dash, install my uego wideband, install my piggy back and pay off my loans so i can start buying my internals for my motor oooo and shit on every civic that decides to pull up next to me and rev like they're worth my gas! lol

[CrimsonRockett]

Hopefully I can actually WORK on my car.

It's been in hibernation mode for 2 years now. Going to strip the fawk out of it soon, pull the engine/trans out, all wiring, every single bolt/clip, etc.

Send it off to paint.

I have boxes and boxes full of brand new parts. Paint is the only thing holding me back.

[fender-startocaster]

Hopefully i can get another year out of my KA. I am aproximately at 294k miles. If i can get to 300k id be happy :)

[hellion240sx]

either buy the Mazdaspeed miata I have been co driving for years, Get my s13 out of the 4 year hibernation (incomplete suspension) more than likely wheels for my s14 and or a KAt system, suspension. S13 for events. hoard tires. If I get the miata I will upgrade to More Power! And coilovers.

dammit i need more money!!!

[Toms2jz]

Im going to finish my is300 all it needs is paint since some asshole hit my fender. Im also installing more rare jdm parts ive had in my room since august and a wider set of sp1's for the rear. Then im buying my s14 kouki :) im debating if i should go with overfenders or not. Im rushing the lexus because im dying to get a kouki but i have to finish my 1st project.
Heres a pic of the hit & run

[Krusty_s13]

[Pure_JDM]

Hopefully, I'll be able to tear out my cage, redo it, stitchweld, shave, tub, prime, and paint the engine bay, reseal my leaky SR and give her a nice freshening up. Then it's overfender time all the way around, and some fat ass wheels. Those can wait til summer though.

[Marcus]

drift HTM. (never done it before, tryin to step it up.)


this starts this weekend.

[WanganRunner]

I have piles of stuff in my garage, I just need to get my head into it. My son was born 3 weeks ago and so I haven't been paying much attention to the car.

Need to:
-Install 5-lug and Z32 brakes
-Switch CR Kais from gold car to red car
-Buy PBM coils, rucas, and spacers
-Switch lsd from gold car to red car
-Sell gold car to make space
-Little interior shit

I'll be happy if I have all that done by the end of March or so. After that, I'll probably get more aggressive wheels and some aero, then be done for awhile.

[nissanfreak317]

I plan to be wrapping up a 2 year build on my coupe. I wasn't planning for it to be a 2 year build but lots of unexpected stuff happened. I have all sorts of parts to throw at it now and hopefully I will be able to find time to get it back on the road finally.

Stop being a pussy, get it done JOHNNY. :-)


either buy the Mazdaspeed miata I have been co driving for years

Advice: Dont buy Mazda, especially not the MSM. I'm unfortunate enough to own a NB and I can happily say that Mazda has their head stuffed way up their asses.


My resolution is to get my car working so that I can launch it off of mulholland while racing a ferrari, lotus or porsche.. preferably a ferrari... f40 if i had a choice. i would be super happy if my car then flew into a house being used to produce adult videos, that way i could catch a glimpse of poonanny while the car sets ablaze and i die a horrible death. best part about this, it would be part of the evening news for 20, possibly 30 seconds before my story gets overshadowed by a story about paris hilton and how she will be purchasing the property to build that home solely for her miniature dogs.

[h2v7]

Hopefully i can get another year out of my KA. I am aproximately at 294k miles. If i can get to 300k id be happy :)

i got 299,200 on mine and it still runs like a beast

[since87]

hoping to find a j30 dizzy!

[slider2828]

Great Thread... Then should look back at end of 2011, but:

- Get new chra for turbo
- geat AIT dual pod for guages on Steering Column
- bring back HLSD to Rear Specialities to get it to stop clunking
- Knock on wood engine is ok, if so clutch job and seal her back up, else rebuild.
- Better alignment specs.....

[Wongger]

Wheels
300zx brakes

track/daily
Done

[DxZoo]

-Fix all rust (50%done)
-Fab up a new dual tip exhaust to replace my rice cannon

[Zen S14]

Throw less money into the maw of the money pit.

[Imarvin240]

-S13 conversion bought and installed
-Coils (im on lowering springs atm)

-SR20DET
-Various suspension components replaced or upgraded

All that after I get the thing legal (horn button, wiper arms, etc) Yay hatches <3

[DALAZ_68]

[VAs13]

[teh smithers]

-Clean up my engine bay. New PS setup, turbo manifold, and maybe a wire tuck. Right now it's NASTY looking.
-Start building my suspension. Coilovers, basic arms package and some bushings here and there.
-Get my wheels set up. This should happen within the week:whip:
-Turn the boost up to 1 bar with bigger injectors and a tune.
-HID's and 5% tint.
-Have sex with it.

[enkei2k]

- install my 'super JDM tyte' steering wheel (end of this month)
- install new sound system + new headunit (feb or march? depending on snow/shop)
- Z Brakes (same as above)
- suspension make over (now - december)

those are pretty much what I would LIKE to have accomplished for this year. anything else is a bonus.

[ZX88]

get an inspection sticker......

[Socal_sil80]

Nothing major since I'm just trying to do a clean daily driver

Priorities:
1. Fix my rear main seal and oil pan leaks
2. Get some rear brake pads
3. Get my OEM black carpet cleaned up and installed
4. Fix my hatch struts and leaks from tail lights

Other future plans:
5 Lug upgrade
300zx Brake upgarde (still deciding between this or evo/subie brembos)
350z 5 spoke anniversary wheels with some bridgestone potenzas
Suede headliner
180sx seats or s15 ones
S15 steering wheel or silvia 3 spoke
Kouki Tails
Upgrade to H4 headlights, either hella or raybrig
Find a nice rare Tomei tri point strut bar or if not possible the carbon aluminum cusco
Rear tri point strut bar and c pillar bar
AEM intake
New tint

Yup realistically hoping to get 80% of this list by the end of the year, its a lot to do but just got the car in November and had to get it running first, luckily it has no major body damage, just need the roof painted because I sanded and primered a rust spot

[Sonic180sx]

Soooo since my S13 has been sitting in storage for 2 years now, other than flushing the motor and some maintenance items that needs to be dealt with, here are my plans

Things sitting in my garage collecting dust than needs to be installed:
-Tomei Arms M7960
-Kei Office Coilovers

Things to buy and install:
-Tomei Expreme Manifold and Elbow
-740cc Injectors
-Z32 Maf
-Power FC and tune

I ran a 13.1 with my factory T25. Hoping to break into the low 12's with the Tomei unit once tuned properly. Not a huge drag strip junkie. So would love to just get the car back on the road and do some lapping days. Been a while since she has been driven, kinda miss the feeling.

[WanganNastyMachine]
