W3SI'r's:
Simply checking in here, wondering how everyone is doing and if anything is going on. There seems to be less enthusiasm, participation, et al, and I guess we

I hybernate through winter. I'm playing more video games, and working less on cars because it's warm in the house and cold in the garage.

Yeah, I have that same issue, sans the video games.  I am, unfortunately for me, a summertime guy. Thie year's winter, with all this #$%^&*! snow and dragging on like this has made me even more irritable than normal...  How about the rest of you? Best, SJ _________________ Racing is life.

What you guys need is a snowmobile. I have a bunch of them and when there is snow you have something to do. I have a couple of XCR 800's one stock the other ported and piped. The ported one will hit 120 mph on the speedo in 1000 ft in trail form and it will run 130 mph real speed. I was hoping to ride this weekend but this weather sucks.  I guess I'll have to fire up the car.

It was in the last week that I actually have gotten the itch to get the car out of storage. I still have a bunch of little projects I want to do to it before it comes out for he summer. I repair and restore old pinball an video games so I need to dig out all my old boards, parts and extra stuff and get it on Greed bay. I will use the cash on projects on the car. I have a blemish on my hood that really pisses me off so I will probably get the hood repainted. I think I might have it removed so the underside and can be painted so it looks nice when open. Also would like to get the valve cover power coated and the upper plenum polished. Plus I should get a chrome Y-pipe..... I'm really tempted to some Tein S-tech lowering springs but I'm afraid as soon as I do I will ECS struts will crap out. Next year will have to be 18" rims and tires.
Boy I need to get a lot of stuff on ebay now!!!

WOW! it is over 40 outside, and the sun is out, I am almost not sure what to do with this weather.  Winter has been long, and boring, but i think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel...it might be small still, but I can see it. I have some "fuel" problems that still need to be fixed from last year, and a few other projects to get done, so once we get some decent weather and the snow is gone, I can get started. I might not have a radio in the car for the April Road America event, but bring your DVD's to UMG and we can watch them on the side of the hotel.

I just pulled mine out of storage yesterday and probably tool into town tonight for an oil change, also already planning the repairs. I think you are going to find a unanimous lack of enthusiasm during winter months.

Mine has been in my garage all winter, and yes I have a heater so I really have no excuses other than being lazy and unmotivated. It is warming up now so I actually touched the car the other day. Yay! 3/23/07  Changes since above: Polished lower radiator installed, headlight bracket spring replaced, polished front and rear valve covers installed, other things i can't remember. Most recent pics... 4/25/07  _________________ Superjfly
