Plans for next year. (mods)

Ragnorock · Posted: Wed Oct 14, 2009 3:47 pm Post subject: Plans for next year. (mods)

Since the season is winding down here and I saw a thread similar to this on SSSCC... I'm wondering what everyone is planning on doing to their cars over the winter and in preparation for next season. Maybe this belongs in the lounge, but w/e.

My current plan is:

Turner Sways, new,
Strut tower bars... wherever I can find them.
X-Brace
Track wheels and DOT slicks... Size is still to be determined, its looking like 245/45R16...
Possibly camber plates if I need a bit more camber to make the tires fit.

Any number of these, including 0 could happen depending on how I spend my loan money.

Two plans:

Plan 1: Go back to my roots and build a 76' 2002 with a m20 stroker(or rebuild a shot m10), and co-drive it with Levi.

Plan 2: Continue to race my e36 m3
Turner sways
Strut Bars
Swap my 3.73 gearing for a 3.38 or 3.46 for higher speed in 2nd gear.
Tune to boost RPM's for higher speeds in 2nd gear.
Run 245's all around with a DOT-R slick, or cut fenders just enough to fit 285/30/18's the ultimate e36 autocross tire size(Trust me a lot of R&D and talking to this years e36 SMOD National champ Mike S went into this to confirm this choice).
Softer Rear springs.
Lightweight thin tube single pipe header back exhaust, no cats, should wiegh in around 30-40 pounds total, vs 120 pound stock catback/midpipe.

More realistically, put a cage in the car and improve my driving.
