What projects or modifications do you have planned in 2013?

[HAWAIIZR-1]

Hey folks, I thought it was time to share what we all have planned for our Zs in 2013. I'm on my arse and was supposed to do some of these in 2012, but somehow other priorities too precedence and it never happened. Some of my plans are dependent on if I am moving back to Hawaii in a few months, but none the less, here are my plans:

1. Remove power antenna and install tune trapper stealth unit under rear tray; plug hole for now until I can shave hole with new paint job (on the shelf, need to find plug and paint)
2. HID headlight conversion (on the shelf)
3. Install DRM coilover suspension with new FX3 shocks and Banski complete C4 rear kits (waiting for DRM kit, Carter brackets, and Banski set-up)
4. Install C5 mirrors (on the shelf and already painted color matched)
5. Replace steering wheel with Momo competition and install NRG hub quick release/lock (on the shelf)
6. Make Christmas wreath for next year out of stock steering wheel once removed (XMas 2013)
7. Put SW headers back on and install new SW X pipe w/Dynomax Ultraflo 17220 (single 3" in/out) and Pypes Challenger tips (on the shelf)
8. Autometer dual gauge pillar mount with wide band A/F and fuel pressure gauges (have mount, need gauges)
9. Repair/replace two front speakers that are not working



Not in any particular order. Happy modding in 2013!

I don't have an antenna on my car. I don't know how Dave pluged it, but you can't tell I ever had one.
Never had any use for it anyway!

I've been looking at the Tune Trapper as well. Pretty neat little piece of equipment.

Replace upper A arm bushings with well greased urethane ones
that match the bottom A arm ones done a few years back.
New front tires to match rear Goodrich ones.

This all depends on no more things like flying metal debris hitting my other car while driving down the road AND
no more leaking 85gal fish tanks in my living room. gezzzz
It makes a person wonder about the number "13" as in 2013.

Replace rear 335's with 345's. The 335's sure didn't last very long. Hmmmm????

"Fish" reminds me of one of those traffic reports I heard one afternoon. The reporter (Atlanta area) was droaning on in the usual way that traffic reporters do, but in Atlanta, EVERY EXPRESSWAY on the loop has traffic issues - why bother reporting the same ol crap every 15 minutes, right? So, I just tuned the report out.

Suddenly the road was covered with some kind of chunky, bloody, mess that covered the entire lane for a couple hundred yards. I didn't see it until the car in front of me suddenly merged into an adjacent lane and I had nowhere to go but straight ahead. And the SMELL! OMG, I immediately started choking down vomit - the smell of rotting flesh was horrrrr-endous!!

Turns out a tanker truck carrying chicken guts, etc to a rendering plant lost its load. One of the electrically operated bottom dump hopper doors opened wide, spilling the entire contents of one of the tanker cells out onto the roadway.

The smell from the undercarriage remained in spite of using a double handful of quarters at a carwash. After 3 more days, I discovered some "treats" had gotten up on top of the cat heat shield and were cooking still...
