Definitely trying to finish up my front suspension with struts, springs, and GT500 strut mounts, if I'm lucky I'd like a 1 piece driveshaft, a midpipe, brakes stuff, and if I'm really lucky the Roush front end.

Clutch and flywheel, since I melted my clutch to my flywheel the last time at the track. Otherwise, I'm not sure. I want to spray and would like a 1 piece driveshaft, along with skinnies for the front.

Not much this year, I got most of what I wanted done. With a recent move I'll be tapped out this year I think but if I pie in the sky it it'll likely be..

- Interior upgrades, namely a new Pioneer AVIC
- Fog lights (perferably hidden behind my grille

What I would really like is a new set of Shelby CS-66 and tires, I had originally planned for that but might have to wait, we'll see.

I think Darren at StangMotorsports (Nisku, AB) has some CS66's that he's clearing out .

I have 4.10s and BMR LCAs/Relocation brackets sitting in my room. Will be ordering longtubes next week and Bassani Race axleback week after. Then if I can scrape some money togher I'd like to replace my ugly ass wheels. All will be going on as soon as it gets nice out.

May not be able to get to the wheels though since I am really, really needing a new toolbox at work, so 3 or 4 grand might have to go towards that.

This year for me..... Suspension, suspension, suspension.

I want to get my car planted and get everything dailed this year. Then next year around tax season I hope to do power mod's. I'm still stuck on which way I want to go though. Stay N/A all the way or go supercharged. Either way I'm going to do the bottom end and everything all at once as long as the $$ is there.

Hopefully I'll have my Brenspeed tune and 4.10's by the summer. After that, I may finish the front end with the brake duct / lower driving lights kit from Shelby.

Not to sound pessimistic but who knows if I'll have a job this year, so my only mods this year will be modding the amount I pay to my monthly payment to bring down the amount I owe the bank. I'd like it to come down to a level equivalent to or less than the car is worth.
