Your Short List for Spring
Here's what I want to do before spring dyno time:
- Complete the vent modification and install to my cam cover including a new catch can build
- Shim and install my RX7 lsd
- Complete my oil cooler install (radiator modifications and line sizing/build remaining)
- And most importantly - get my EBC working dammit

Install suspension Illuminas on the way, and I'm on the lookout for used FM springs.
rig up some sort of CAI, get VICS working and get back on the dyno.
Fix my body damage.
o yeah- I'm doing the body and paint repair DIY, and if I can find a place to do It I want to paint the whole car.
edit again: and install race seats and my LC-1

ughh, my short list is pretty daunting...especially when I am graduating college in May, getting married in May and currently job hunting. Doesn't leave much time for this stuff but I need to:
1. Get my MS working (can of worms...hopefully Braineack can fix it, F U Kingofl337)
2. Re-do coldside piping, increasing to 2.25" or 2.5" piping and finally adding bungs for ait sensor and iacv.
3. Make and install splitter and front undertray, I already have the abs just need to find time. (hopefully will help downforce and cooling)
4. Cut a big vent in the front of the hood (to help cooling)
5. Paint hardtop and a-pillars. (not a huge priority, plus it will have to wait for 65 degree weather)
6. Purchase and install oil temperature and water temperature gauges.
7. If the gov't decides to give me extra money then finally will be purchasing and installing a racing seat and harnesses.
yah, I somehow doubt all of this will get done. Hopefully I will have the MS and coldside piping done by spring break so I can get some dyno time.
First track day is April 25, which is coming fast...
