My resolution?.. well if things go good job-wise I'm going to boost the ka, rebuild one of the spare ka blocks with factory internals if I need to and just stick with a low-boost setup with decent parts. That's all engine wise.

Aesthetically I want to retry the wide-body thing and do it properly this time round. Add some staggered thick 5-spoke wheels with a nice lip, get the car painted, get the interior done in leather, get the a/c working properly, get those window visors, fab up some headlights (since the 'air brakes' won't go down), get a new battery, replace bushings, and that's pretty much it.

..I just hope 7 or 8 pounds of boost will be enough to keep from getting embarrassed by grandma's crown vic with the police interceptor motor

Mine is to strip down and tackle every speck of rust on this build. -remove all panels and grind/weld/grind/primer/paint everything needed.-removed the entire interior and strip out all the sound deadening and repaint.-fix/reinforce strut towers with 1/4" plate.-replace any rusted out or busted hardware.

Start gathering parts, while selling stuff I don't need.

Buy/refurb every suspension part on it.-get adjustable control arms, upper arms, tension rods, stiffer sway bars, bu that brace that goes between the front tension rods. -all new bushings for the parts that are needed.-coilovers-strip and re-coat the subframe-put the LSD in

Well, I finally completed my silvia front end, so now for 2010 I want to have the silvia front end painted and installed on the car by spring (bro's christmas present for me was all supplies to get it painted) then second want to decide wether or not to fix the 06 GTO instead of using it as a donor for the motor swap. Third I want to finish my black interior, fourth I want to install my brembo slotted and drilled rotors and hawk pads.

Get a damn job.

Yes, it's that time of year again and I figured I would start up the fun by hearing everyone's 2011 New Year's Resolutions for their 240sx/Project car/etc.

How it works, let everyone know what you plan on accomplishing over the course of 12 months with your car:

For example:

What Mods do you plan on buying / installing?

What type of Build do you plan?

What time do you want to run at the track?

Track times, events, magazine spots, 12 months on jack stands?

And any other car related goals for this year.

Also, did you finish all the things you planned for 2010?

Then we can all look back a year from now and see what we've accomplished.

Cheers!

For 2011 Im going to try and build the head of my sr. I also want to finish the paint on my car and get wheels and other suspension parts.

If i could get to the track once or twice that would be cool.

I did finish my goals for 2010 and i hope i can get as much done as i did last year.
