My car hasn't been able to pass a CA smog inspection because I have LTs and no cats so I have been on temporaries lately. So my goal for 2009 is to find as much possible as i can while being complient with CA smog. If that means running a different fuel such as Ethanol than so be it. My goal is to be able to run a high number while running on a clean fuel or by following a clean policy. Make sense?

first and most importantly wake up each day or night depending on how you look at it

non-car:
get out of the ARMY apr 27th 09
get short time job
start college fall 09 ASU
save money while doing so
after 5 years finally spending a holiday with family

truck: no f**kin clue

car:
put car on a diet
install MS4
Install TSP heads
90/90 setup (maybe LS6 intake)
4000 TCI stall
QA1's all around
new wheels and tires (preferebly for track use )

kicked off of speedworld raceway in AZ for not having a cage in the car
buy cage and go back b4 exploding 10-bolt

in the end just have a badass year continuing life

I have switched my to do list with suspension mods...I figure a cam would be nice but I would rather enjoy the overall ride better for now. Already getting LCA and Panhard Bar for Christmas and I am going to buy springs eventually. I guess in the spring I will buy shocks, hopefully it will be like a whole new car.
