I was just wondering who is going to be the movers and shakers this year? Who will do something new and spectacular? Who's planning a sick build up, etc? We've had some wild builds/combos in the past but I want to know who will be next to step things up? Let's hear it!

Booo!



















J/K- I hope you'll still stick around though. I could never part with my car, I want to eventually turn my attention towards my wife's Mr2 spyder and do a 2ZZ motor swap and make it as light as possible (I'd like to shoot for a sub 2000lb car) and go corner carving with it though.

I will be prepping my car over the winter and the spring for the track (not straight line). Then I will be travelling to Montreal for a weekend course and licensing. Should be a good time

I just painted the car and added some MM goodies (the whole Maximum Grip Box). I built the rear-end with a F-250 31-spline Trac-Lok and Superior axles. I'm waiting on the driveshaft to be finished so I can put in the T-56 and it's taking Cartech a little over a month to make my T-70 kit.

So yeah, I've stepped things up a little.

I can guarantee a no mod for me too...

It sads me to say it, but I don't know how much longer I'll keep my stang.

Only because I'm still going career, and if I have to move to a huge city, a car won't be useful.

Depending on how my finances look this year, I do believe there may be some boost in the new year at some point. Probably a Vortech SC pushing around 9lbs of boost. Don't think I can do much more on a stock longblock, and going Dart won't happen when I'll already need a new trans.

Well, nothing really out of the ordinary, but its not gonna be a cheap winter/spring. I've got an H/C/I swap in the works for this spring, with all supporting hardware. That, and whatever else is in my sig.

Winter 2008 is when the real fun begins. Can you say turbo'ed 418?
