Post your car's "To-Do" list!! Come on.. we've all got em!!

[Tujin]

Oh, and once I get back from a year in Cuba:

Rims
99 Headlights, Novara bumper, 2ndgen sideskirts (unless I find a better option), 99 wing, sail panels, rear garnish, fresh paint
EVO III 16g setup
Fuel
solid x-fercase, CFDS
Nice clutch

[Tujin]

And a FMIC, obviously

[EricVR4]

Already done in the last couple weekends:
-Install 13Ts
-New oil lines
-Tons of new gaskets/nuts/seals/washers/hoses/etc
-Get crack in front manifold welded

To do (waiting on parts to get finished being made):
-Replace OS/Spool with NBT Quadco OS/Spool
-3 step detail (hasn't been washed in months because it's been broken)
-"re-tune" for whatever I can get out of the 450s and maf-t

In the near future:
-Emanage
-Ditch the 450s for some 680s
-Get Adam's ass to Houston to dyno tune it

[J-Groove]

Get her running to 100%. Damn short I don't know how to fix. ARG!

Then after a couple hundred miles of her running great at 6psi, do two tunes, one at 10psi, the other as high as I can safely take her up to 15psi. I don't want to run over 15psi with stock 9b's and SMIC.

My remaining to do list of future plans (not in order):
'99 front end conversion
'99 sail panels
new tint
FMIC
13T turbos with supporting fuel mods
rear strut bar
coil over suspension
new paint
AWD tranny converted to FWD with Quafie LSD

Then I'm done with the car, my final goal for her is to be between 400-500 whp. Anything higher with FWD will make it to much of a chore to drive IMO.

I'll probably do tint and maybe sail panels this summer. Most everything else will wait until I have another DD so I can rightfully afford the down time.

Hmm...Clean the inside??

Although, maybe I can bribe Jeremy with baked goods to clean it for me. He did such a great job last time...

bah, that was a rush job last time. Next nice day that I have off, we'll talk. Give me a couple hours and cleaning supplies, and I'm golden.

SWEET! I'll even throw in a home cooked meal with the baking goods, just 'cause your awesome.

So do you think that deserves some Nessa cooking?

[Jeff V.]

Perhaps we could team up on some things?

I'd also like to take a crack at making some sushi. Vira and I made some on Saturday night and it was excellent

[Jeremy C]

Me? Need supervised? I'm appalled at the thought!

That sounds awesome! We never did go get sushi in Toronto.

I'm installing Heads Up Display this weekend (factory unit). Unfortunately, that's the one option my car never had that I really wanted. Hence, I'm going to solve that problem.

[Jeff V.]

It looks pretty easy in the writeups. Good luck

-get IC pipes back from welder *DONE*
-put in new autometer wiring harness for one of my nexus gauges *DONE*
-make trim panel to hold 2 gauges in center vent opening *DONE*
-tune aem ems for driveability *tuned for idle right now*
-button up some of the interior *DONE*
-change engine oil twice *DONE*
-wire in radiator fans *DONE*
-detail car
-drive to ocean city, md with what looks to be the only 98 vr4 WHOOT

added
-try to get the car inspected before I leave *got it covered*
-make sure fuel pressure is ok

So far it made 300 awhp at 8 psi and a really rich tune with no real timing advance and only taking it up to 5000 rpms. Fuel map started to get a little hairy after that point so I shut it down. Looks like the IPS 16G setup might make some power if my front turbo stays together. The turbos they sent me were evo 3 GT turbos... those chinese knocks offs *that someone on 3si says they don't use*.
