have money for turbo, but I kinda gotta put it on hold, as I'll probably be moving with my girlfriend to either Amarillo, Denver, some place in Wisconsin, Baltimore, and one other place I can't remember. Anyways, I'm kinda bummed....so I was wondering if there's anyone here who actually has plans that they might actually be carrying out.

I plan on getting chains and some foglights, that worth mentioning? <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> Seriously, I gotta wait 'till summer and a new job before I can afford the good stuff.

I'm trying to add a VLSD and paint my taillamps like some of thos eposted here! some minor interior work as well. trying to save for a swap!
i'll have the loot for some shyte, but i'm doubting if the 240 will be around long enough
I'm hoping to get new suspension by spring. Only thing I'm actually doing this winter is some bars and some interior stuff.

i'm planning on the installation of the newer transmission, pdm camshaft, then engine rebuild with 10.5:1 pistons, headers i guess that will hold me over for the winter. that sucks that you can't spend your money on your car, but hey, you're moving with your girlfriend, that's even better. some things are more important!
My plans are to not crash it on the snow <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

cool, sounds like we're all thinking about something. Actually, the only thing that bums me out (besides losing money in the move), is that I might have to sell the 240! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('>, if I move to Colorado or Alaska...I'm gonna have to sell it and get something like an Impreza. Although, I have started to contemplate creating a Pulsar GTI-R. I haven't even figured out yet if the chassis was ever introduced to the us though.
nismos14-that's what I'm concentrating on right now...not so much snow, just watching out for the rain and soon to be ice.
vancouvers14-I don't know how similar valve covers are to brake calipers as far as metal/painting, but my friends paint their valve covers, and put it in the oven to dry.
TRM02 -just please don't ask which people think is better the KA or SR. LOL <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

I have an Audi 4000S Quattro.... the perfect winter beater. But instead of registering it (in which case I'd need to get it to pass inspection again) I might just get an LSD and some snow tires and flog my 240 a bit more. Decisions decisions....

Apexi N1 Dual, Strut tower bars, sway bars, ladder bars, springs, new clutch... hopefully i'll be able to get all of that done by the time the winter is over. Next winter, I think i'll have the money saved up for my rebuild. I can't wait!!! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
u are all loaded.. i'm just a lowly highschool senior with no money!.. i think i need to start working more.. well, lets see,,
1. custom cat back (250 or less) mandrel bent too!
2. Cold air intake... if i can cough up the money
3. VLSD,, if i can find one at a junk yard.. once my christmas break starts i'm off to hunt at junkyards.. that is about all i am planning on doing.. pretty minor, but i figure i might ACTUALLY get all this done! yah!
