so i though i would see what people are doing to the cars this year. any cool projects. also to give others ideas for future projects.
so my project this year is a alcohol carbed, supercharged 1.8 motor, stroked (to 79mm) and bored (undetermind mm) maybe 10:1 compression, 2.5 DOHC heads. in a mini f1 type track car

I'm working to swap in my JDM 2.5 and installing an exhaust before school starts. Nothing really cool, but hey...

Probably nothing to my car anytime soon. I'll be working on my motorcycle hopefully. That's if I can't get it road ready this season. If I can't make it I will tear it back down and just go all out....

Saving $$ is my project. I'm failing terribly though.

Well I was working on my project car until I started to run out of money after being laid off. Going back to school in the fall so I might get a part time job and get a few JDM upgrades for my Outback.

I need to do the exhaust and use my old hood as a practice piece for some body work and paint. Never done it before but the $50 paint job in the DIY has caught my attention. Now that the new hood, front bumper, rad and JDM projector lights are in......I dont know how much more my wife will let me do this year.

Slowly going to work on replacing it. I'm in no rush.

attacking the rust on the body, fixing dents, then repainting her. most likely that'll be done before the month is out. after that i should save money to pay off debts I have (credit cards, family, etc.) but i'll keep some cash aside to finish up the exterior with a body kit possibly and JDM lights all around. that most likely will be the fall, for the winter I'm probably just going to save up for an upgraded suspension to start with next year.

started the brake upgrade to 4 pot & 2 pots. also started to take everything of to replace the wheel bearings. got both front knuckles off the car tonight. the front rotors were horrible. about a 1/4lbs of rust/metal came off the rotors when i dropped them.
