Default What I did to my car 2012

I've been hearing some of us have some decent projects going this winter, so let's post up some photos and get some chat going.

For my winter, I've spent way too much money. So far I've put in new Recaro Pole Positions, and bought my exhaust. Once my header gets coated and back, I'll get that install. Hopefully no more big money spent. For now.....

Nice seats! How much do those weigh? What exhaust is that?

I changed plugs, check valve retainers, changed engine and cabin filters, changed clutch fluid, and did a compression test so far. I just bought it late December.

Berk 63mm TP and Aerospace 303 fabric top cleaner/protector kit on the way. Plus going to do the following before spring hits:
-clean IAC valve
-maybe replace TCT part from Billman
-axle nut correct torque check
-clutch rod adjustment
-check cam wheel bolt
-motor, diff, & tranny oil changes

Thanks! I know they're lighter, but I didn't wear them. I figure if I need to loose some weight, I should loose some myself for free.

And the exhaust is the Evassive Spec T1R 70EM

John.. I'll be interested to hear the exhaust this summer. I was between that one and the Greddy SE. I got the Greddy and really like it, but its as mellow as I'd want.
