It is in the Mid-A Regional Section, at least 10 hours driving away from Florida...

Anyway that is my Resolutuion for 2011, move to Florida.

Florida.... Meh...

7 months of sweating your balls off. Followed by 2 months of nice weather. Followed by a month of where the Fu*K can I find a sweater. And another months of nice weather before it is time to start sweating again...

Yea I know that is only 11 months, but you can expect to have a month of uncertainty/dodging hurricanes to round things out.

Not that I am any happier in in the Peoples Republic of MD mind you...

Hey, despite all the traffic the DC area is still one of the better places to live.

I did pretty well last year on my destroyed VLSD and spent R888's. Hoping to contend for some FTD's with PCA, BMW, and maybe CDC. Should dominate BSP in D.C. region unless some evos start to show up....

Jessobear · 01-03-2011, 07:50 AM

I never had plans to do much to the car and already did most of it (Nismo exhaust, FI HFC's, K&N filters, 15mm spacers) in the first two months I've had the car. For 2011 there are only two things on the docket:

1. KW Variant 1 coilovers (ordered in December, on backorder)
2. EVO-R front lip (bought a used one, waiting to see WDRead's installed before I paint/install it)

4r3s · 01-03-2011, 08:41 AM

1. New wheels, looking at advan rs-d
2. If AAM ever gets their act together a cai
3. maybe motordyne intake manifold...maybe
4. Cobb Access port and a tune if I get either of the previous two mods.
5. Evo-r front lip, im on the fence with this one. Don't want to do a body kit on the whole car so not sure if it would look strange with just the lip.

#1 is the only definite in the list at this point.

I prefer to sweat my balls 7 to 8 months a year and not deal with this freaking cold and snow. As far as dodging hurricanes I'm used to it, been there done that for almost 20 yrs before I moved to the US.

Plus I tired of all this car laws and property tax in VA.

Custom Seats
Buying Steve's Injen long tube CAI's from his old Z
Thinking of doing a custom button to pop my rear hatch and/or installing a handle for easier closing
few other small things - not looking to touch performance until the warranty is up.

3SeventyZ · 01-03-2011, 10:30 AM

Thought about adding some suede pieces to the interior.
Painting the door handles and Z emblems.
Back-up cam goes in next week, hopefully.
Some other small things here and there.

Shoehorn a VQ37VHR into my engine bay somehow...

No seriously...

1) Blacked out grille
2) Factory Spoiler
3) 5000K Phillips HID kit
4) Hyper Silver Breyton GTS-AV 19x8.5 wheels

Most of this will probably have to wait until 2012 though!

We just packed up Lee's M3 till the evos get reclassed to where they belong.

AWDSP

My Z might make an appearance in BSP this year. But will probably skip past that to be an "also ran" in SM2 with the SC that is in the planning...
