What is everyone's plans for thier car?
#53
My plans will take a while. And they will occur in no particular order.
New interior (Working on this heavily)
New engine. (Chevy 350 with TPI system built all with performance parts. Shooting for 400HP at the flywheel) Aluminum driveshaft and the usual handling and performance upgrades. Exhaust and all of that stuff.
New paint job. I have not decided what color to make it. I may keep it the same but I am not sure. I will however get a quality paint job. None of this Earl Shy or Macco crap.
When I am done I want to be able to out run stock 02 TA's and Stangs. I know outrunning the 2003 Cobra may be unrealistic, but if I can do it within my means I will.

Finish My 2002 T/A dash swap, Ls1 swap this summer maybe supercharged if possible, lcas stb sfc's, Baer 13" brakes, Sparco Torino or race seats, Momo Race steering wheel, that tgo hood and 5" spoiler if they ever happen, paint, carpet and all the small touch up things like re-dyeing all the rest of the interior plastic to look new again. Hope to have it all done in a year. Also looking into making my own front spoiler with a lip like you see on some of those road race cars.

It was very simple I just cut out some material around the center of the nose area where the license plate is to open it up for more air to the radiator and that enabled me to add the extra fog lights and a new hood is gonna get installed as soon as the rain stops!

Finishing my interior restoration....ive almost got all the parts for that. Valve covers, gaskets, water pump, throttle body plate, taylor wires, cap, rotor, Hotchkis strut tower brace, maybe a custom heads up display, more tinkering with my sound system, sanding and repainting my t-tops, buffing the tailights, new headliner, sun visors, floor mats, strip underneath and re-undercoat, and alot more to come.

My plans are a cowl hood from Cervini's and a ram air box for the cowl hood this tax season. I also plan to put in a 3.42 or 3.73 posi rear. I need to get my hands on a custom made chip and real soon I am planning on getting a lot of stuff in the engine compt. powdercoated. I know a guy here that has his own business he is starting up. Next tax time a set of 17x9.5's for the rear with 285/40/17's and some 255/45/17's up front.

After much speculation, I have decided to redo my engine bay. Can't do it now because it is too cold. I can't wait to change it, the rainbow effect kind of makes me sick now.

Car: Accepting applications...
My car is being retired from street duty to begin a life of bracket racing. Had many fun years with it, but it must move on to bigger and better things. Ultimately I would like to run NHRA super street (10.90), and high roller electronics races. I will maintain some sense of streetability with it, but it will no longer see any road trips...unless it is on a trailer.
so I have the new motor (302- NOT THE FORD VARIETY, EITHER!!!), with a powerglide, and a 12 bolt with 4.56's to complete the package...10.5 tire...

My future mod list on my car is forever long. I have good dreams for my IROC.
I'll start by modefying the frame, and suspension, and prepping the body, so it looks the way I want it to. I'll start with 91-92 ground effects (which I already have, prepping them now) I am going to get an ASCD SS hood, and ZR1 style rims. Will also be lowering the car ~2". I havnt decided on the color I will be going with, either black or blue.
As for suspension, I am planning a full suspension overhaul. Mostly Spohn parts. Koni Yellows all around. I will be doing tubular A-arms Subframe connecters and K-member as well as a Ford 9 inch rear with 3.73 gears.
At this point, I will purchase a wrecked 98-02 Camaro SS, Z28 or Trans am/formula.
From that car I will take the engine, transmission (6speed) and the interior. I will be getting the heads ported, a new cam, intake, and several other basic mods done prior to the install of the engine.
that setup should be a lot of fun for a while.
after that my plan is to do a custom intercooled twin turbo setup for the LS-1 in my IROC.
very, very high goals. But I always get done what I say I'm going to get done. so I will post here when I start.

Re: What is everyone's plans for thier car?
Just got a new paint job, am working on the interior and putting some electrical upgrades into it, I want to cleanup the engine bay a little and fix the wheels. I want the car to be a show car but one that sees the light of day more than the average show car. That is to say, I want to find some room between the term daily driver and show car.
