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



What Mods do you plan on buying / installing?
Need to install Apexi D- Jetro power commander and tune. Install Front windshield with the shading on top.
Get the hot pipe welded with a brake heat shield.
Re-Tint the whole car and rear window for the 3rd time since I've had the car lol (2001). :D




What type of Build do you plan?
S13 SR20DET. Won't be this year though. Got a spare block and head on the way.

What time do you want to run at the track?
I'm looking to get at least a 12.5 or better. Depends on how my tuning goes, what she likes. You know how cars are sometimes. Like to touch a high 11 1/4 mile.

And any other car related goals for this year.
Get a paint job.

Also, did you finish all the things you planned for 2010?
No, I didn't. Unfortunately my 2010 didn't start on the right foot. Got laid off Dec. 2009. Got UE benefits though.Didn't have a job until the end of April 2010. That kinda screwed all my plans up so I had to postpone things. Had money saved but it does no good if you aren't working. I'm not one of those get a 10k loan then selling your car 6 months later. I plan on keeping my car. I am getting back on track with the car finally.

scrapping the idea of my l28et

looking to finish my s13 for the littlest amount possible (probably stock KAE) might go NA SR still but no turbo/ crazy motor... decided i am tired of it sitting and having it as a project. so once its back on the road that's it until i find something older/more original
