I am just finishing up building a motor. Gunna get it installed, along with built trans, and fab up a cage. Hopefully dynoing the motor soon.

Simple before spring got to order 2 rear tires as the original Bridgestones are about to become straight slicks a new battery as I also think that is original then to slap on a Roto Fab intake and dyno tune.

My plans during the winter are to turn my Mustang into a full blown track car for time attack.

I ordered these parts a month ago and will be installing them in Jan/Feb.

-Anderson Concepts Dry carbon roof
-Anderson Concepts Dry carbon trunk lid
-Anderson Concepts Dry carbon doors
-AJ Hartman Splitter, wing, and diffuser
-Lexan front and rear windshield
-Watson Racing lightweight bumper support
-Watson Racing roll cage(and will strip most of the interior)
-Track spec fender vents and louvers
-3x sets of 305/30/19 R888R tires
-Cortex Racing Spherical Bushings, toe links, swar bar end links
-Steeda lightweight k-member
-BMR derlin bushings for diff,rear subframe, swaybars
-AP Racing rear brake kit to match the front
-GT350 Intake Manifold, GT350 heads and camshaft.

What are you guys up to?

That's a fantastic list! Now you are going to make me want to start modding the cars after all these years!

My plans are a bit more tame than yours:
Install MGW shifters in the R's
Change Transmission Fluid in the R's
Tune the 95R via Moates
Finish custom upholstered Recaro's for the 95R
Install Morimoto XB fogs and LED headlights in the 04

Just a good detail for the Viper. Going to go replace the pads and rotors in early spring/late winter.

No plans on the Raptor or Jeep besides pressure washing the undercarriage after each snow storm this year.

96dreamer · Dec 22, 2020

Glenn's sleeper tank, Fuelab pump/filters and replacing the factory fuel lines. That will wrap up the full fuel system. Also want to make up an additional idler mount to help with throwing belts on the Novi. Suppose I might be done with the car for a while after that?......

I love that part of that movie...and i can totally relate

I talk to my boat like that while im prepping her for a tourny the night before lol

Thinking about turning it back to stock and selling it.

Time to strip and cage the '00 R

That is the least rust I've seen on a Cherokee in a long time. I thought they were all held together with street signs, self tappers, and expanding foam by now, at least up north.

Which Fuelab pump are you going with?

slow306stang · Dec 22, 2020

2" headers, 3.5" midpipe, 3.5" mufflers dumped.
Sheet metal intake manifold and charge piping
ID 1700's
5/8" wheel studs

Since I took last year off most of this stuff is currently in the works. Looking for 1350-1400whp out of my Procharged 2012. I'm hoping to have it back on the dyno in 3-4 weeks.

42401, I didn't want to have fuel supply issue in the future on e85 and Ill be able to take advantage of the variable speed control with my ms3pro

Exact same setup as me. You'll definitely need to run variable speed with that pump. That thing will overpower even their biggest regulator.

It is a lot noisier than I had hoped though. If the in tank pumps like the 91901/92902 were out when I bought mine I should have gone that route.

Bummer on the noise I was hoping the low speed wasn't super loud, the blower isn't exactly the quietest thing in the world though. What's one more thing being obnoxious. I'm running the fuelab 51505-1-L-E regulator which is supposed to be rated to 3.7 gpm or 222 gph, more than the the pump will push according to the flow sheet I got. I went back and forth on single vs multiple pumps and like one failure point rather than multiple on the fuel system. I didn't want one pump completely going out and causing a lean condition under load.

I've got a short video of my controller speed sweep. I think it was a 20-40-60-80% command. Pretty noisy. People hear it pretty well, even over the blower. So much for being stealthy.

And I'm skeptical of the flow rates on the regulators. I took it apart and it's got a tiny orifice. Mine overwhelmed it pretty easily, and I've got -8AN lines all the way back to the tank. Doesn't matter when the orifice is around 3/16" though. But if you can modulate pump speed you've got it made anyway- less heat transfer, quieter, no worries about overwhelming the regulator.

In "winter mod" position

Great Asp · Dec 23, 2020

Cobra:
oil change
oil pan replace gaskets (tried yesterday, was rejected by the windage tray, have a new plan

)
lube (done)
clean the under carriage
Check the brakes
inspect the lights (just checking)
windshield chip-repair

GT40
oil change
build powered mirrors out of my Raydots (halfway done)
small paint corrections
check the air box for bumping on the rear clam.

That Aviaid oil pan on a 427 FE with the windage tray beat me yesterday. Two gaskets walking all over, black RTV on everything, got to the last two bolts and they wouldn't make (windage tray needs some adjustments). But I have a new plan

IronSnake · Dec 23, 2020

2v will get:
Longtubes/ORX
Prob MS3 PRO PnP
Termi Tank
26 Spline T56
McLeod aluminum flywheel/new clutch

Fix a bunch of rattles and loose ends on the car.

What are your winter car plans?
