What are your winter plans for your car?
So I made a list of a few things I want to do to my car over the winter/spring (drag radials, shocks, ssra, ported tb, paint a few things, and fix some little things).
What are some of you doing to your cars over the winter?

I plan to uncover the cars once or twice more this winter, look at them, then put the cover back on and go back in the house where it's warm.

Winter is when I get to do some stuff to the car...with financial committment approval from the wifey
Here is what is happening this month:
1. New catback: Purchased an SLP Loudmouth II. Sitting in the box in garage. All I have now is a Flowmaster 80 muffler.
2. UMI Lower Control Arms with Relocation Brackets and a UMI Panhard Bar. Also waiting for me in the garage. A couple of years ago, I put on Eibach Lowering Springs, KYB AGX shocks and replaced all of the bushings with polyurethane. Now I want to start replacing actual suspension components.
3. Transmission Flush and Fluid Replace with Royal Purple.
4. Differential Flush and Fluid Replace with Royal Purple.
5. Install 160deg Thermostat, change radiator hoses, flush and fill the cooling system.
6. New Alternator and will replace the serpentine belt while I am at it.
Any LS1 Types out there in the Denver area interested in making some money helping me with all of this stuff?

Return fuel system for sure. Oil breather catch can, CF radiator cover and paint fuel rail covers. Contemplating re-doing the hot side on turbo. That should get me through to the thaw.

I installed a Raptor shift light in the pillar, new head unit, and have an LSX badge for it in the mail. Nothing too crazy, but I already spent a couple thousand on it over the summer when I swapped out my dieing 4l60e and Yank 3600 for an M6 setup.

Depending on money...lowering springs and shocks/struts, timing twister and bottle heater for the nitrous, some 315's on 17 X 11's for the rear, then maybe some tweaking to the exhaust because my combo is retarded loud with no tone lol
