Well spring is not too far away now although it'll be awhile before they sweep the winter crap off the streets around here. How are the projects coming? I see a few big endeavors wrapping up. Nothing too big for me this year:

1. FD short shift kit
2. Recarpet my subs to match
3. Stone guards (look way better than the off color silver guards)
4. Fister Stage IIs w/tips
5. Aluminum shifter insert (now I need an aluminum accented hand brake $$$)
6. New blower motor rubber seal
7. New rubber fan shroud
8. New HIDs w/relay
9. Headlight retainer upgrade
10. Replaced visor clip
11. Fixed stuck fuel filler flap (the little metal one inside)
12. Replace lower valve cover gasket (no leaks anywhere now!)
13. Some regular maintenance items
14. Touch up some rock chips
15. Replace broken headlight lever retainer

Now I think about it the list was pretty long. No biggies though. All I need to do now is fix that annoying rattle in the sunroof when its open.

 

Couple small things for me as well:

1. HID's
2. Gemballa Steering Wheel
3. RSR's

Still left to do:
1. Harness bar
2. harnesses and sub mounts (when i get them)
3. Pagid pads
4. reinstall fire extinguisher

 

I have a winter list that I haven't even started.......

1. Remove heater blower and replace with RS piece
2. SAI removal
3. Stone guards
4. Exhaust work, news tips, etc
5. Install rear shock monoballs
6. Install front camber plates
7. Install GT2 tilt kit
8. Brake work - new rotor and pads all around
9. fabricate and install harness sub bar
10. Remove A/C system
11. install 2nd oil cooler
12. Motec install (maybe not winter project though)
13. Spend hours on rennlist working out the next project!!!!!

Oops I have started this list, number 13 anyway.. I am sure there are more things that are on the list, it's a bit of a moving target.....

Nice work Matt, I am looking forward to seeing your car this spring.....

 

After two frantic winters building and rebuilding the car, this year was very light, only a few little projects.

Install Radio and intercom - Check
Short shift & rework shift rod - Check
New pads & rotors - Check
Take 30lbs out of the driver - 1/2way there
Install cool suit - Ill get to that when its hot....

 

Hey Matt777,

do you live in the SW of calgary by chance (coach hill-springbank). I saw a beautiful silver 993 last weekend driving towards springbank. If that was you great looking car!

 

It's good to be done for the winter (well... almost).

1. RS door panels
2. Chris Walrod bushings
3. Xenit extravaganza

5. Power steering belt
6. Spark plugs
7. Light weight flywheel
8. RS clutch
9. New clutch slave cylinder
10. Brake, and Clutch bleed
11. Removal of AC bracket portion of carrier
12. Rennline gusset kit
13. Steel syncros
14. OS Giken diff
15. 1/2 Operating sleeve
16. Stronger shift forks
17. RWD conversion
18. Corner balance & align
19. FDM short shift kit
20. Debadge rear (this hasn't turned out as well as I hoped... so far)
21. Fluids (oil / transmission) due to above
22. Air, oil, and fuel filters
23. Have a baby

I think that's it... holy carp no wonder my wife says I was in the garage all winter and I'm not out of "fun" money.

 

That would derail most guys! Glad you still found time to get to the garage.

Not me.

You should bring your car up here for a day if you need the lift (brakes, stone guards, exhaust).

 

Busy boys

 

I may just have to take you up on that.....

 

I managed to get most of it done before the baby came and after my wife was asleep. Many late nights, but it was worth it

 

I put the cover on mine and plugged it in......wore me out

 

You should join a support group! Oh wait thats what rennlist is.....

 

Impressive list, Matt! I can't wait to hear your new exhaust, I'm thinking I'd like to do Fister IIs this year... All these list make me jealous of people with actual mechanical ability

hmmm . . . any way that would apply to my exhaust, too?? I'll bring the beer!

 

I feel a road trip coming on......

 

Good job taking pounds out of the driver. Great goal. Ive pulled out 45 to 50 my self...

Only down side is you have to put the 50 back in the car...Oh and your seat and helmet don't fit any more
