Plans for 2009?
Nothing. I just spent over a grand on fuel pump, boost solenoid, dyno tune, tint, maintenance, etc. I'm going to change the oil and the antifreeze but that's about as far as I plan to go this year 
Edit: Pay off the car. Bought it in March and I'm already about 65% of the way there. With any luck it'll be paid off by the end of summer

Anything can happen.
Later this January:
Trip to Buschur, install HKS 280s, Head Studs and Timing Belt. Tune by Mellon and David Buschur.
Later in February:
Will probably burn the stock clutch, Exedy Twin HD on the way.

I think I've set some new goals for this year. My gals this year were based mostly on making more power, but I think those plans have changed. I'm not sure what clutch is in my car. I know it's not stock, but I'm not sure it will handle what I want to throw at it. I'm not sure it'll take 400+whp.
So I'm going to hold off on doing too many more engine mods this year and save up for a good clutch. The 310-320ish that I'll probably make at my next tuning session will be good enough. I want to focus more on my suspension, brakes and driving. I've been trying to improve my driving on my own over the past two years and I think I've done very well, but I want to further improve with track days. Power isn't going to help me with that. I will still add some power adders that I have listed, but this is what I'm doing for sure:
-JMFab stock turbo manifold
-ETS UICP (stock battery)
-AEM Wideband
-Bilstein HD's (match with my current Swift Sports)
-Carbing Front strut bar/master cylinder brace
-ARP wheel studs (so I can run spacers with stock wheels)
-255/40's. Not sure what brand... whatever is the best performing tire when my Z1's die.
-Ferodo or Racing Brake ET500's brake pads
-StopTech Rotors
-Motul Fluid
-Some exterior goodies just to make my baby look even more pretty than she already is
