Official 2014 "what winter mods are you getting" THREAD

[Dubstep Shep]

Starting with a new engine lol!

Going to see the builder tomorrow or Monday to talk about specifics. We'll see how that goes.

 

[BLKBULLITT]

or Rimby if it ever get finished.

My driving up days are over I think. After turning my 3650 into a 4 speed on thanksgiving, and sharing a ride back with the tow truck drivers...I think it will become a trailer queen next year.

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath that being finished for at least another 3-4 years

+2. I have the same plans for my brembo's laying around. I also have laying around...

- spare 3v motor
- forged cobra crank
- forged pistons & rods
- 2 step
- bigger radiator
- whatever else I'm forgetting

Now whether or not I install it this winter, is a different story.

I'm not looking forward to doing the brakes. I have to buy everything but the pads and calipers. I'm not sure if its worth it lol.

You already have the most expensive part (the calipers). I plan on buy TPS rotors, hawk pads, and ss brake lines. I believe TPS has the kit for a grand. I think.

 

[AnotherS197GT]

I was thinking about TPS, but I don't want slotted. I'd like to pick up a set of oem blanks, but not for $130 a piece. I might get some centrics for $80 a piece. Then the 13 gt500 dust shields. I'm thinking of doing SS lines, but I'm not sure if I want to spend the $100. I'm also torn between doing some 1 inch wheel adapters or 7/8s spacers with longer studs. It's adding up fast lol.

I'm looking at buying the 7/8 kit with the studs. I have some stock 14" rotors laying around some where. They need minor work I believe. But pm if your interested.

 

[AnotherS197GT]

I like those, but I'm not sure about paying $250 for spacers. AM has some adapters for $60 a piece. They're cheap and that kinda worries me, but it's aluminum... Shouldn't cost that much.

Believe me, they are worth it. I'm planning on buying them again when I get my build rolling.

 

[AnotherS197GT]

Yeah, but I'm poor. If I get those, it's gonna cost me at least $500 to install my free calipers lol.

versus buying new wheels? You tell me.

 

[AnotherS197GT]

Or just selling the calipers haha.

Well, just PM me and I'll take them off your hands.

Seriously though. I need another set of 14" Brembo's

 

[AnotherS197GT]

I'll let you know if I decide to sell. I have parts to sell that will help me fund the swap.

 

[BLKBULLITT]

stop buying different grilles and you can afford to get your brakes done lol

 

[AnotherS197GT]

Mommy bought my Bullitt for me for X-mas

 

[FR500GT]

Full destruction and reconditioning. Paint, wiretuck, blah blah blah

Battery Trunk Relocation
FRPP Manifold
FRPP Throttle Body
Procharger D1SC
Koni Yellow
BMR Springs or Steeda Sport Springs or something else
BMR Panhard Bar
Brembo 14" Brakes
and the list goes on and doubtful I'll get it all done at the same time.

Umm on what car..
