2012 240sx/Car New Year Resolutions

[Coolwhip]

Yes, it's that time of year again and I figured I would start up the fun by hearing everyone's 2012 New Year's Resolutions for their 240sx/Project car.

For last year's resolutions (for reference)... http://zilvia.net/f/chat/361947-2011...-your-car.html

How it works, let everyone know what you plan on doing over the course of 12 months with your car:

What Mods do you plan on buying / installing?

What type of Build do you plan?

What time do you want to run? track related?

Track times, events, magazine spots, 12 months on jack stands?

And any other car related goals for this year.

Did you finish your 2011 goals?

Then we can all look back a year from now and see what we've accomplished.


Happy New Year everyone!

- Kouki Tails + Rear Valences... CHECK!

I'm anticipating my clutch to go out this year so I'll probably have to replace that too. ... Flywheel came loose, ended up having to replace clutch as well.

Got most of my list accomplished last year, and I would have had coilovers but I ran into some bills that needed to be paid.

This year a few big projects to be done.

- Coilovers / Toe Rods / Traction Rods.
- S13.5 metal conversion fenders.
- Body work and new paint color.
- New wheels. 17x8.5 / 17x9.5

And for maintenance I'm most likely going to rebuild my transmission. I have a feeling its on its last leg.

[fliprayzin240sx]

Get this RB25 swap started and completed this year...

[DriftN00b]

basic maintenance (what can I say, I work minimum wage so its not easy lol.)

-Next im no baller so i can't afford te37s yet so im planning to stick with some varrstoens 2.2.0 17x9 all around.
-Full kouki conversion!!!
-By summer i would like next my interior done with a recaro drivers seat with s15 passenger and rear seats with a Nardi steering wheel
-As far as suspension all i need is to rebuild my passenger coilover, nice nismo power brace bar and front and rear strut bar and some RUCA.
-Than slap on a nice s15 helical diff and one piece steel driveshaft
-Last i would like to pull my motor and put some 256 cams, retainer kit, 9:1 compression cp pistons, eagle rods and of course arp studs. slap on a bigger turbo leaning towards a gt3071r and a full race twin scroll manifold, re-tune with a power fc and call it a day at 400whp daily like i said i love to dream BIG!!!! With that all said i would like to hit some high 11s on the track will make me happy and i would love for southrn fresh to do an article on my car, that alone will make me go crazy!!!
