The Official 2011-12 Off Season Plans thread!

[steverife]

I know that we've still got a lot of folks with a big weekend planned for this weekend, and some championships to win the following weekend, and a few more events here and there, but...

I know that I'm not the only one that has started daydreaming about the off-season and next year! What do you have planned?

For me/us, the big ticket item is shocks. Beyond that, it is the never ending maintanence of racing a 20+ year old 300k mile shitbox, and some setup changes and maybe a few other things. If I can figure out how to justify it and can pop a quick grand on the market, I'd like a longtube, though it would probably make passing sound an issue...

My off season plans consist mostly of unbuilding the CRX and putting it back into stock form for sale, then selling all the hotrod stuff, unless someone is interested in buying it as is. I kind of hate to get rid of it but the cars are going to start multiplying if I don't thin the herd.

Probably wheels and tires, but depending upon what happens with the rules, it may be some good street tires and the addition of a rear swaybar

Someone please go GP with this...

New motor, new gear set in the trans(think 73mph in 2nd ), 125-150 more HP, 100lbs weight loss, 1" wider wheels, front splitter and more rear wing.

GP suspension is already on the car. (hint, hint)

I would like new tires on wider wheels, more power, underbody ground effects, wings, and go over the chassis real good. That is if Suzuki gives me any money.
If not I will give it a good going over, redo the brakes( didn't work well at the last race), and get new tires on my current wheels. Chad

Finish last years mods, actually run some events.

Downpipe and dyno tune. Then the car is pretty much done for a while. May try to sell it next year for a new project.

Not that I'm buying, but I didn't spot an ad for this car in the Classifieds. Did I miss it?

[Dentspeed]

Work on the kart a bit. I have a shimmy on braking, poss need new rotors. Drain and clean carb. Clean and inspect everything.

The GP idea is a good one. Someone should try it.

In addition to what Steve mentioned about the CRX, the Lightning will be getting some work. I've been saving up some parts the last few months. I'm going to do an electric cooling fan conversion, add 2 more psi of boost, port the supercharger and intake, make a panhard bar, re-tune (possibly with a Moates quarter horse), Dynomat the cab, and possibly look into some quieter mufflers if the Dynomat doesn't make a huge improvement. I also plan to get an additional pulley ring to run stock or just over stock boost, and build a towing tune for towing the CRX. I might make some underbody aero covers.

Finally got my Kosei K1's for the Focus. I need to strip the lime green paint off of them, and paint them (color yet to be determined). Then I need to decide whether or not to keep them.

Build additional garage, fix MR2 in said garage, paint MR2 in garage, maybe start building something interesting in garage. No clue what yet. Replace NSX's brake rotors (already in hand), battery terminal connections, and maybe another odd or end, but nothing serious unless I also win the lottery in the mean time.

My plans? Buy a new truck to tow with and continue fixing up the trailer. Also, sell some of my cars to make room... Anyone need a raced out kia, 79 mg, or an 82 f150??

[SilverMaxima]

My plans... Hmmm...

Figure out the future of The Gentleman's STI, er, Mistress...
