What's everyone doing to their cars before spring?

I figured I'd make a thread to get things going in this section.
Seems pretty quiet since winter hit.

So list your mods that you have done this winter.

I'm getting new wheels and a stronger clutch.
Also getting aluminum gauge rings.

Well, it is only a sound mod not a HP mod, but there is a large box sitting next to my garage door from Suncoast with my PSE in it (that I walk past every day as I get in the 4Runner...). As soon as it is just a bit warmer I will be installing that (with my own control switch).

I have printed out Stacy's recent post for after my warrantee expires next summer (2010)...

Engine: IPD Intake Plenum, EVOMS Cold air intake, 200 cell sport Cats

Come on John, I KNOW you're doing something else too. Or maybe you're just planning on surprising a few people?

I was gonna just go with a simple reflash but that's on hold as I might change out the turbos and intercoolers. But that's not looking so good right now.

So I'm not gonna post power mods until I'm sure of it.
