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

my goal is to get my car dynoed and take it to the track. We will see what happens. I am pretty satisfied with mods right now.

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
