Winter projects 25-26

[SnowFox]

So anybody got a set plan for things to do over the winter.

I'm thinking I might change out the rear diff, and from the 3:15 to 3:55 or 3:73

I also got an itch to swap out my centri blower with a PD blower. But that's just a "maybe" idea. I like my centri, but I like to try other things anyway. But who knows.

The plan?

Install the FP Track Handling Pack IF it does in fact arrive some time after the October 31 projected availability date.

Install the Harrop oil cooler. Still trying to determine if the supplied thermostatic sandwich plate with AN10 lines is what I will use or another with AN12 lines.

Install the FP water pump. Debating weather to install the Raichle 170 degree thermostat. Car will be used for HPDE and autocross and at this point I do not intend to race, but…

Under consideration? A set of Apex wheels. Maybe. I don’t know. Hat tip to Derek Bieri.

Don't overthink it. Stick with AN10 lines. Remember that the cooler itself is more restrictive than the short lines for it.

Install McLeod clutch line. Return to the stock (new) shifter with the Blowfish bracket. Change out the BG fluid for fresh BG fluid.

Why you want to get rid of the Centri? Which one do you have? How much power does the car make or Boost?

I was thinking about change rear gears to 3.15 from the Mach 1 stock 3.55’s. However, I don’t like the diff that comes with it.

The car is autographing the pavement on a 50 roll.

* Race seats and mount, maybe a race wheel
* Anytime front camera.
* Rust resistant bolts for wing
* New canards (current were in the direct sun too long)
* Gotta look for ways to drop weight.

Not gonna do everything but I’m making a list.

[Adam the Lighting Guy]

Between now and spring,,,, remember, my winter is constructive season.

Diff lock out.
Vertical links
Shocks and struts
Tint
Sub & amp
Engine thermostat
Undercarriage cleaning

Who knows what else may pop up on the list.

Im thinking about set of Project 6r chrome wheels 19x10 up front amd 19x11 in the rear. As far as tires, Conti 02 285/35 up front amd 305/35 out back.

Winter projects? Driving it. Every day. Rain, snow, sunshine, salt, whatever. Too cold in the garage to do anything anyway.

Spring 2026 possible projects:
-Borla S Type or ATAK catback
-Upgrade to Sync 8” screen w/drive modes

Might also do the FP Track Handling Kit if it actually becomes available again. If not, maybe the FP Track Springs and Shocks/Struts and GT350 sway bars. Would also do camber plates at that time, either the FP or Steeda plates.

I like the centri just fine actually, love it. If I switch it will be just for the sale of trying something else. It's not the best reason, but it's the only reason I have.

Grab yourself one of those $100 diseal heaters on Amazon. Love mine. Does a decent job of keeping a garage warm depending on size.
