What are you doing to your car this winter? This is for those of us that have to park our cars all winter due to the snow. Just wondering what mods or work youll be doing to them. Im doing my six speed swap now that I have collected all the parts. Im gonna throw a set of Pacesetter LT's on it as well as exhaust.

My mods won't start till early spring
,thats when i'll have the $$$ 
I'm installing 3.42 gears and a girdle, heat wrapping my exhaust system, and have been thinking about a torque converter or even doing heads and cam if I have the time. I'll be splitting my time between the car and working on my house. There's just no end of things to work on!

i got a new cam, opti, and ewp that i'll be having installed one of these days.
then i'll be buying some 1 3/4 mids without all the emissions crap if i can find them and a magnaflow catback. i called as&m up but they dont make their mids without all the emissions crap.
i also bought some mt et streets that i'll have waiting around for the spring.
plus i have the new American Racing TTMs that I wont put on until the spring.
