Plans for YOUR AU in 2009?

[ayeyew]

What are u gonna do to your AU in 2009? (If anything!)

Currently on my to do list are the following (in no order):

1. Change brakes
2. Change springs & shocks
3. Altezza taillights (Shutup, i found some really nice ones! Anything is better than S1 crap )
4. Complete the tuning with my current cam
5. Throw in Joe's new Stage 2 Auto Cam and tune that (more power, more torque and better idle!)
6. Dynamat my boot and hopefully my front doors
7. New tires & possibly rims
8. A few cosmetic items (chrome door handles, leather gear knob, patching up a scrape etc...)
9. Fit my tranny cooler
10. Some headwork (maybe)
11. I would love to get some SC whining going

[StealthAu]

I have a few things to be done,
1. If I don't sort the Auto out this month it becomes part of the list, rebuild and 3000rpm stall
2. W2A Intercooler, have been told they will be ready to sort it out early Jan
3. Diff gears... again, never buy second hand. Might as well go 4.11's this time.
4. Head and Cam
5. More boost and retune.

These are the sure things, depending on if I move somewhere with a garage or not I also plan on getting it resprayed and maybe a different kit, I'm also in two minds about upgrading the brakes, this may or may not happen. Also need to look at doing something with the interior, but this may not be on for this year either, all depends on what I find and if I like it.

I hope to wash mine at least once.

My Raptor supercharger kit should arrive late next week and i can't wait! Once the blower is on..starting next yr will be:
1. Intercooled
2.XR50 bodykit
3. New rims...am thinking of BF GT-P copy's..i know heaps of ppl have them but i love them and think they look hot as on black!

Cheers.

Hoping for new 19's for my XR6, TS50 bobtail, BA bonnet buldge, Bigger cam and full hi flow exhaust. But Thats me wishing. And a lot of sucking up to the missus lol

[au2sw]

as with mrghia, a lot of sucking up to the missus, but plans are as follows
1. lowered with reset springs in rear and new shocks
2. extractors
3. rear wing and rear bar to compliment the TS50 front and skirts (seeing as chief doesnt want to help a bloke out:( )
4. start madley saving for a Raptor supercharger....maybe a 2010 mod
5. BA door strips in white...saves me painting my crumby black ones
6. panel repair and respray over sections that need attention.
and i think that will be it for this year...all depends on how well finances go.

Giant undriveable cam, tune, 3.45LSD, and a manual conversion. 13.5 second 1/4 mile.

[Cam]

Plans are to make the car more "user friendly" for the missus.

1. Fix ABS issue so Traction Control can be used!
2. Remove chiptorque chip and retune with edit
3. Some 19's

Other then that, nothing. As its looking like it'll be up for sale pretty soon!

[Mont5.0]

face lift for the front of the mont, which is already modded to XR front. But this will happen between 25 dec-1 jan. Will be ready for sydney cruise on the 10 Jan. (hopefully)

Just keep it on the road in 2009 are my main aims, maybe some small interior mods?
(every other spare $$ is going into the ESCORT build.)

[sikford]

hopefully have this new airbox in and run up on the dyno for some back to back runs and also want to get the pacey comps on and happening. Wouldn't mind also getting my new gauges in along with the gauge pod under the ashtray. Umm, Depends on how much money i can get saved and i may even get the stereo finished,haha.

I had fishing line holding mine in place, when I had one.
Tied off on the air-con vent, and the hole in the mat for that very vent itself.

[brad`]

if all goes well..
1 - purchase a house
2 - work on my car when im 80 y/o and have cash

[sbcb]

Having two young kids I'll just probably stick to fixing all the dam damage they do to it. Boys not even two yet and he nearly pulled the woodgrain door spear right off the other day! Daddy look daddy look, No No No! let it go!

[low au classic]

my plans
clean and look after the car
clean up the engine bay
get a decent exhaust
go to more car shows and cruisers

[MRJUCY]

Suspension & edit are the next two areas I'll be playing with & then we'll see what comes next & do some more track days I've been pretty lazy this year.
