Default Finally put the top up. uh oh Winters here

Since I keep my car in the garage, I've left the top down on the car for most of the summer. Well no longer. I'm still driving the car as much as possible, but with the heat on and the top down is not enough these days, so it will be top up driving till the end of the season. I have one more driving tour this weekend, and then it will be time to pack it in, and dig in on my new intake project, lowering the car slightly, and put on my new ss exhaust.

Anyone have a winter project for their car to share?

Mine goes into hibernation on the 30th. Sob, sob.
Winter projects ? I bought a set of alum. thresholds from an RL member. ( 944 section .) I`m going to polish them to match my Rennlin pedals.
Other than starting it up throughout the winter, that`s about it.
ZR8ED what make of exhaust did you buy ? I love my Stebro.

I had a turbo ss exhaust (2.5") practically fall into my lap, and I couldn't pass it up. I spent an afternoon polishing it up nice and shiny It won't be a simple "bolt on", but I've never been a bolt on type of guy anyways.

Unhappy

ZR8ED,
Nice one.Hope it sounds nice.
I have a Spring project now. I went to the local Supermarket today.I got about 3" to close to the edging curb and dinged my CPR V1 splitter.Splitter is fine but sort of messed up 3 of the mounting holes on the valance.It`s too cold now to do a fibre glass repair.
****e, 2 days before I put it away.ARHHH !!

No But I'm on lots of the Datsun Z car forums, as well as the Ontario Z Car club.


Xpit77 Man that sucks. That's not the kind of winter project someone wants.
