Re: What mods are you planning over the winter season?
Right now I'm finishing the engine. For winter I want to finish my interior in suede/vinyl & do the rear disc brake conversion. Spring get the car painted. Will see if I can make it happen! ![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)

Re: What mods are you planning over the winter season?
Yeah!
Whiteline swaybar with Wytbishop's endlinks, corner balance, long tube headers, fiberglass hatch, Lexan side & rear windows, Wider rims & tires, paint, slim visors
(haven't kept any for myself), EGR delete hopefully, finish soundproofing, if I don't get the SRD reproduction suspension stuff, I'll make it myself, Mfactory helical LSD *Fingers crossed*, knock the dents out of the sides of the stock GS, make the turn signal hole into a ram air duct (I put in Civic headlights with turn signal in them), cover the bottom of the car for smooth airflow & and downforce, maybe put in KL31 intake cams... That's all I can think of.

Collecting parts and figuring out if it is possible to turbocharge a V6 without removing the air conditioner and power steering...

Re: What mods are you planning over the winter season?
OMG where do I start???
I have amassed about $1000 worth of parts and all I need is some new polyurethane Wytbushings to reassemble my entire suspension. I have new rear spindles, hubs, Lateral Links, Brake lines and E-Brake cables. I have a rear sub-frame and trailing arms as well as front LCA's, transverse member and engine crossmember ready for powder coating. I bought all new factory hardware to pin it all together. Once the bushings are in the entire suspension of the car will be as new.
After that, I have a tranny that I'm going to attempt to rebuild myself. I will then install it with a new clutch, slave cylinder and Corksport stainless clutch line. I think i will also have the tranny case hottanked and paint it so it looks like new. I may do this first if the bushings wind up waiting till spring.
Then if all goes well I will have the car ready for paint in the spring. I have a nearly new rear bumper to replace my cracked one and I have arranged for a new JDM bumper and lip from Corksport to be picked up in spring. I also have a line on a set of used JDM foglights...$80...score!
Once the paint is done, I have only to stick on my Smoked Slim Visors and I will have one very cherry 93' GS SE. I hope to be able to get all that done by June of 09'.

Re: What mods are you planning over the winter season?
So I got the package of rear end parts I bought from this guy in Ont. yesterday and the front TTL's, the non-adjustable ones, are not even MX-3 parts!!! I've very annoyed. I'm hoping I can sell them and use the money to subsidize a pair of new ones.
He hasn't returned my email asking WTF??? I hate it when people are not straight up.

Re: What mods are you planning over the winter season?
When I was home this past weekend I managed to squeeze by and pick them up, so they're in my hands. I wanted to bring them with me to ship out but I bag was maxed for weight for the plane. I'll have them sent out your way sometime in the next few weeks.fowljesse wrote:if I don't get the SRD reproduction suspension stuff, I'll make it myself
For myself, I've got a few things planned
- Traction Bars
- Wytbishops End Links
- CF hatch. Still need to get the MazdaSpeed lexan hatch window and i'm putting on a new wing.
- Motor rebuild
I still need to pull the motor and get the rebuilt, but I'm waiting until the new year to see how work goes before buying the remaining, more expensive parts. Works has been going really well, so I'm been using that to pay off debts and save some cash. And then you've got xmas around the corner. I'd also like to get my rims redone since they've got some nasty uneven-pavement-rash on them. But the motor it going to be a very expensive and time consuming project...i can't wait
