How are your winter projects coming ?
I think I'm going to get some of those sweet RRM pistons and rods as soon as a get my bonus, and I plan on doing all new paint and graphics by the summer...I'm going to keep it looking pretty stock until I supercharge her next christmas.
winter up in Toronto has been pretty badthis year...no sunny days to wash the car...therefore it's all about the car shopping right now. Just purchased some Racing Harts 17" w/ Toyo Proxes...prolly will look into coilovers for the summer and a short shifter to install when the warm weather comes along

well, as of right now shes stuck in the god damn snow about a mile away from my house...........but other than that, my ACT clutch and WORKS flywheel are sittin in my room waitin for my T.O. bearing to come in. the RPW stage one head and cam should be here in a few days, as will my 4g93 intake manifold and 1g 60mm throttle body. tryin to decide if i should spring for the greddy e-manage or if it can wait a little while. car should be goin in the shop to get a little rear body work taken care of and my apex rear bumper and JSP carbon fiber trunk should be installed soon as well. im thinkin the clutch and flywheel will be good for high 15's alone, and the head with proper tuning might possibly put me into 14's 
EDIT: i dunno if 14's is possible, but im expecting near 180whp in a 2200lb car with 15" 11lb wheels, so if anyone can crunch some numbers they can figure out what ill be runnin.
P.S.-This is what the alphabet would look like if Q and R were eliminated.

My winter projects are coming along nicely.. Just got my ralliart racing seats and 4pt harnesses installed, painted/clearcoated my fiberglass eyelids... next comes the evo VII grill from RRM. I bought GPS navigation for my pocket pc.. work great. I'm installing that with a small mounting kit a little later on. Just ordered my high flow catalitic converter from RRM.. waiting for that to arrive, possibly ordering a header soon. Everything is going to plan. =D

EDIT - nevermind. You got the Ralliart racing seats on Ebay...
Wiretap, be careful with that 4 point harness if you actually wear it. They're known to cause spinal injuries if mounted more than about 3 inches below the driver's shoulders, and can also restrict head movement in the event the roof caves in. Not to mention if it's not a Schroth brand, it's probably not legal for street use either. But I won't keep going, PM me or search the motorsports forum if you want details.

its not the harness that makes it legal or illegal, most harnesses are legal, but due to the fact there isnt an inertia rail then its illegal. If you buy the schroth inertia rails your all set.
Let's see, since the AX season ended, we'll call that winter. So far:
Ported IM: check
^installed: check
Ported and polished head: check
^installed: check (twice)
Camber plates: ordered, should be in the g-d mail today or I'm gonna pitch a fit!
Stage 2 cam, gear and springs: almost got enough saved up
eManage tuning: on hold until streets aren't a sheet of ice
"candy blue" valve cover: check
Repair splitter: in progress
Finish reading "Secrets of Solo Racing" (since I can't really get much seat time right now): in progress
Playing the hell out of GT3 during my "off" time (to make up for lack of seat time and a lack of GT4): check
So far so good.... could use a little more in the "race fund" to get that cam stuff on its way.... but waddayagonnado?

I'm not looking for any 1/4 mile time, in particular. I'm mostly looking to slaughter this ITR and 240SX that run in my class in my AX club. If I'm more lucky than good, I might be able to take the current reigning champion in his corporate sponsored Merc' Coug.
