What are you guys doing to your car over winter?
I just thought I would post this b/c I need some more ideas, and I was curious to what you guys do over the winter on your cars. At the moment I am ordering UMI SFCS, and STB, maybe i can sneak a CAI as well. I just kind of want to know what you guys are doing to your cars/buying for them over the winter? If you car is in storage what are the plans come spring time when it comes out?

mine is sitting in the garage with the hood open and the batter tender on the car. My plans include:
- Nitrous bottle mount for the trunk
- Clean up the engine bay just for show
- Hopefully complete a retrofit of bixenon projectors for the headlights.
Thats all I got right now but I always think of new stuff.

Im making a custom 4" intake for mine..sounds cheesy but when i get it done ill post lol its a nice set up...
Im changin out my edelbrock headers for long tubes..hopefully the stainless if they come out if not pacesetters.
Subframe connectors.
And im machining my throttle body and making it a mono blade, ill post that when im done too the programing takes forever. Not that i need a mono...but at least i can say i made it and have it

A few things.
So far I'm collecting the parts to make the engine look a little better:
Just a few cheap things to do while it's cold:
Z28 logo TB plate
Z28 logo oil cap
G2 intake
Aluminum Intake elbow
Polishing TB
Polish/Powdercoat/Paint valve covers
General cleaning up
Once I get a few more bucks:
Fix oil leak with new timing cover
Aluminum driveshaft
I was going to get the LT1/LT4 Hotcam kit, but I'm just going to keep it as is for now.

I will probably be driving my car for at least part of the winter because I only don't drive it when there's snow on the ground, but I'm saving my money over the winter to do the following next year.
-Strano springs
-Koni SA shocks
-XS Stainless LTs provided they come out.
-3" duals dumped at the axle w/ short Powersticks
-OVC wires
-PCM For Less tune
