let us know what you doing to the car during the winter period.
I'm installing mainly elecdtrical stuff. Amongst others: NX-Maximizer + all nitrous setup wiring. FJO-wideband controller triple-pod + guages HID headlights thinking about getting racing seats... but need to find some that are leather, same color as inside of car. NB: some of these pieces haven't been ordered yet |

A new motor if all goes well. I Want to a carbed ZZ4 and I'm thinking an oil accumulator would be a good idea too but the 3 quart one is pretty damn big to fit anywhere in the engine bay and I don't want it in the cabin so maybe the 1.5 quart version will fit somewhere up front.

The white car will be retired from track duty after November 13/14.
Over the winter, I am putting it mostly back to stock to once again enjoy driving it around town, without hassles and selling off the parts. Looking for a CMC car to put on the track sometime next year and race in the 2006 season. |

Custom flares (Just started on the 'plug')
12" Fikse's. A BMR non adj torque arm (because it's cheap and a stop gap between now, and the U/E decoupled arm) Some ignition goodies. Next spring a couple of Forza's. Eventually a Edelbrock QuickData (probably next summer) New Kumho graphics for the hood. |

Well I'm doing (almost finished) Pacesetter LT's, delteq ignition, and motor mounts as we speak.
I have the following planned for this winter: Koni SA front shocks or revalved my current bilsteins for GC 600 lb springs Koni sport 3rd gen rear monotubes with 150 lb springs and maybe a few secrets (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I feel as if I'm ready to step up to an adjustable shock now. |

But complete reskining my dirt track car... new stronger engine and all new shocks and springs, plus several other things to do to it. |
