...I suppose I will post some pics of my progress in a build thread that I will share with UMW. I hope everyone else's projects go well and I can't wait for the spring "show and tell"
Hmmm... maybe we can create an event called the Show and Sell. Kinda like a parts meet. I could use some parts and I could part with some too.

We should organize a Swap Meet!
I'll look into seeing if we can get an indoor facility for a day or a weekend to do this. Great idea!!!

I'm just curious, but is the transponder something to track your car if it was stolen? Or is it something to track your performance on the tarmac?

my list..... and i dont think i will get it done till summer.......
change trans fluid
oil change
diff fluid
put on exhaust that pat help me get
and fix wire that rats chewed up
also if you guys want i could have a small tech day in my garage that can fit 5-6 cars maybe 1 or 2 more
it would also be a good learning experience for me and other people who dont know about the car.

I know it's late, but congrats to Phil on the sweet ride. Looking forward to seeing you on the way in to work come spring.
As far as winter projects go, I'd love to find a place where I can hand wash my car myself in a heated garage. I've checked the car wash places in the area and they won't let me wash it myself (have to send it through the automatics, or pay for a full detail).
I'm not asking to use someone's house, but if you know someplace with heated wash bays I'd love to know about it (even if it's not that close to Crystal Lake).

I don't know how I missed this thread, but here's what I got planned:
-> surprise
-> retire my s2k as a track car and make it strictly a weekend joy car
-> powdercoat my rims as they are completely destroyed from track pads
-> sell the Invidia dual, install J's header and T1R exhaust, and possibly get the car tuned
-> install headrest speakers
-> get a new front bumper (got so many rock chips that it's not cost effective to fix anymore
)
-> ...and lastly, not s2k related... but, get a CBR600RR
PS: Phil, congrats on the NSX

I'm still working on my list, but for certain I need to get the front lip and bumper re-painted.
Can someone recommend a shop to do this? It will need to be color matched since I am sure there has been some color fade.
