Default Winter Projects/Mods

So does anyone plan on doing some mods to their S's this winter? I'm trying to keep a low budget this winter (still saving for house), but I am planning on buying some cooling mods: Hondata gasket, radiator thermo, radaitor cap, fan switch, possibly hose kit, etc. I figure these are relatively inexpensive and can keep me busy in the garage for a while. What's everyone else planning?

Alas....the S was put away yesterday. The only mod it is getting now is taking it off collision insurance, I don't think that counts.

Me too Jeff; that drops my insurance by nearly $75 a month! Over 4 (LONG) months that should almost pay for a set of used rims - on which I hope to get some R (track) tires

I too am going for the cooling mods so I can turn up the Emanage another notch.

I ordered a spare dashboard that should be here in a week and will begin cutting that up for a new screen mount. Then I need to fab a rear deck and upholster it to fill the spot where my top used to be. I still haven't gotten around to making the a-pillar pods I wanted out of the spare OEM pillar I have, so that needs done too.

Looks like I will be burning the midnight oil out in the shed. Which remonds me I need to go get a heater for the shed since it gets really cold out there and miserable for working.

I have one of those kerosene torpedo style heaters you can use, but you have to keep the space ventilated while you are using it or you can get asphyxsiated.
