New years is quickly approaching, I know many of you have some big plans for the upcoming year like... new paint, interior, suspension, exhaust,, etc.

I plan on getting some 18" chrome Irocs and maybe some 4th gen seats if I can find some affordable ones. So how about you guys??

Re: 2011 goals/plans for your rides....
Im just finishing a total suspension overhaul.

Next year I want to stop my slow oil & coolant leak. Hoping it is just the intake gaskets. Also want to put headers and Y-pipe on and then need a cat to pass emissions. Then 2011 can be my first year since I owned it for 3 years where I put insurance on it!

Re: 2011 goals/plans for your rides....
In chronological order:

-finish my high rise spoiler
-buy and install a good rear end that won't grenade like the 10 bolt did at the track last year
-get the door hinges and handles fixed, has saggy doors and the springs fell out of the handles
-coil over suspension with tubular a-arms
-ported heads and FAST intake/tb combo


The last two might not happen this year, but I can surely try! It depends on how much money my wife lets me set aside for car parts.

Re: 2011 goals/plans for your rides....
Come late Winter/early Spring, I'm going to change out the front hard brake lines/hoses, rear brake hose, install new lower control arms and Panhard rod, pull the nose apart and clean & undercoat under-the-car bits, and get my new front fenders put on. Also, the plan is to get the 'vert painted, maybe mid-Spring. We'll see how time, weather, and finances are, closer to then . . .

To finally get the 3in hushpower muffler installed, along with possibly headers/y-pipe and cat (probaly wont happen though), work on the condition of paint, fix those small misc. things. Thats all I can think of for now.

Re: 2011 goals/plans for your rides....
I'm going to tear it completely apart to prep and paint, get my new fenders put on, replace a brake line or two, change out all three brake hoses, and put on the mint dash pad that I picked up for 20.00 last Summer. I'd also like to improve my air intake somehow, replace the timing chain, replace the water pump with an aluminum one, and desmog and install shorty headers. New rear lower control arms and an unbent Panhard rod as well, if I can find the time to replace them. Also, I'm going to try and drive it more than last Summer . . .

I just hope to drive mine more. Only took it out maybe 4 times last year. Did less than 500 miles.
I would also like to clay-bar the paint.

Finish suspension mods, then get the interior and paint/graphics done. With any sort of good luck, this should happen by October '11.
