Spring is closing in...
What's everyone looking forward to for Spring?
I'm looking forward to getting the car cleaned up. I've also got some tires for the black car and will be getting my original set of SSRs repaired to get the black car back to drivable. Can't wait!

Re: Spring is closing in...
Going to tinker with the SRT wagon a little and get it ready for the summer. Fix a few small things in the 5 speed swapped 3.0 grand caravan and drive that this summer. Get the SRT4 coolant feed line fixed and fix a few small things on it.
So many neons so little time.

Re: Spring is closing in...
I'm going to get me a set of wheels and tires for mine. No more painted stockers and constant wheel spin. That will feel nice.

Re: Spring is closing in...
I have tons of little things to do on my boosted coupe. Like,
Headgasket
Install new Arp head bolts
New clutch install
Run new positive battery cable from trunk to engine bay
Redo some gauges wiring.
Redo 1 of my turbo coolant lines.
Rework my hotside pipe
Repaint my valve cover.
Hoping to get started on this by the end of the month. And I'll be all good for Carlisle trip in July.

Re: Spring is closing in...
Another trip to the body shop scheduled for April. That pretty much takes care of everything. Finally.

Re: Spring is closing in...
Gotta add a front wheel bearing to the list. That would be a good thing to do the same time as the front control arms. Need to button up the Daytona first so the Neon can see some down time.

Re: Spring is closing in...
Guess now I need to find where I may have an oil leak and determine why the oil light occasionally comes on.
Turn off the car and back on it goes away. Makes me think it’s a bad electrical connection.

Re: Spring is closing in...
I will get new kumho-tires for my Neon before the Spring ends. I will also replace the brake pads.

Re: Spring is closing in...
I'm thinking of getting the KU31 or Ecsta 4X. I currently run Hankook tires. They are ok but nothing impressive.jonnymopar wrote: ↑Tue May 29, 2018 1:15 pmWhat did you decide on?

Re: Spring is closing in...
Totally did this. I guess that means my year is successful and I can just relax now. Wait, I have three kids. Never mind.
