Next few weeks) Get the last few parts of my return fuel system assembled so I can keep 14psi all the way to redline. Now I can oly run 14psi up to 5500 before FP drops, I ramp the boost down to 11psi at 6500 and its fine. I WANT MY 3psi back

Next 30-60 days) get to the track and shake her down. Maybe a dyno if the traps arent around 125mph.Take some pics and vids to share, finaly.

When the weather gets cooler) Sept, Oct... strip the interior and speaker box, etc and shoot for low 11's.

Next 6 months) Finish building up my spare trans.

Long term) Maybe a real suspension upgrade, coilovers etc., paddle shifters,

Working on a wire tuck right now.

Going to modify my spare front end for more IC surface area.

Need to fix a lot of little stuff.

New DSS axles

Solid rear diff bushing

Change out the rest of the bushings


Those are the summer plans for now.
Down the line I still want a WB but might get another car instead.

keep my car running for the next 2 years or until 200k (im at 152k) hits whichever comes first

just spent $4000 over the past 3 months for shocks, tires, rotors, brake pads, new valve cover (oil in spark plug tubes), spark plugs + maf sensor, spc camber kit + labor for all of those parts, and maintenance

can't decide if i want to just buy a junker beater for a year or two and save up

or just splurge on a new/CPO 370z/335/evo x

In no particular order, this list will probably all that gets done to this particular car, once the house is purchased I'll get a toy that either is a project car or something that comes from factory more performance oriented not an auto (most likely):

1) Motordyne 5/16" plenum spacer
2) z-tube + intake
3) Technosquare tune
4) Rear wing of some sort
5) Front lip or if nobody buys my rookie bumper have that painted and installed
6) 18" black wheels
7) Get extra set of headlights and try retrofit
8) Paint brake calipers black
9) Bats Headlight/Taillight/Roof kit
10) Motordyne VQ Dual Tip rear section
11) remote start
12) Paddle Shifters

To get installed this week:
1) Motordyne XYZ Resonated Pipe
2) Motodyne VQ Resonated Exhaust

Getting installed at Import Intelligence in West Chester, PA. Anyone heard of them or used them?
