tires and rims, tires and rims!

but seriously, tires for both sets of rims. maybe some coilovers if money allows.

might set up for trail riding? no mudding, but just gravel and dirt and what not. (no money or job leads to boredom)

Before winters over I plan on Stance coilovers, paint, bedliner the underbody, and put the 5spd swap in.

Sometime in the next year I plan on5lug swap along with Z32 brakes front and back(maybe Evo brakes up front if my friend upgrades her brakes)Kaaz 2-waySPL misc suspension arms, ruca, etc.Chargespeed pignose lippretty 5 lug wheels(Gramlight 57s if I won the lottery), until then I'll run Z32s

If I get all that done in '09 I'll probably get a bride bucket seat and start working on building the 2jzge I plan on boosting.

you sounds like my friend. He failed for 11 items on his sr 240, including emissions.

But as for me. Build a KA-T, finish my 5 lug swap, body work and rattle can job. New radio/speakers (oem radio / speakers are all dead). Suspension work, including new bushing all around and coilovers.

redo the complete rear suspension (bushings, cleaning and painting the arms, HLSD, RUCAS)

for the fronts, tien pillowball mounts... but rust repair for the front wheel wells will wait for next winter when i pull my KA and get ready to swap a mildly build N/A sr in my car

maybe if things go my way, some paint and bodywork; but probably not till the following spring

"STOP BUYING PARTS I MIGHT NEVER PUT ON!" LOL

or

"PUT ON THE PARTS I'VE ALREADY BOUGHT"

I have a fmic, oil cooler, catch can, brakes and some other stuff I've collected that I've planned to put on but for a reason or two haven't (either I'm lazy or I've decided I dont want to put it on because I dont think it will make a difference)..
Holy crap I got the same parts you have and haven't installed them lolI got a bad habit of buying things when I dont need them. My car has been on jackstands for over a year and I keep buying stuff.

Resolution is:Finish body work on s13.Get Origin 20mm fenders for the front.Decide on which wheels to buy.It will be a DD with track days here and there so,..Hope it would be a mid 12 sec. car with current mods.

Since I'm living in Korea and will probably be here for about 2 years, my little ol' 240 is just sitting in my brother in law's garage . I still have some simple plans though.

1. Remind my sister and brother in law to constantly start and run my 240.

2. Replace my squeeking Megan rucas with probably some SPL ones.

3. Get some S15 seats
