Who is ready for spring?

[Mezzy]

I've gotten my entire suspension replaced on my 94 Z28 for spring. New BMR A Arm assemblies, Bilstein shocks, with Eibach springs. New GM sway bar bushings and links for the front and the rear, new rear lower control arms, New Panhard rod, new torque arm mount, new trans mount, new engine mounts. Also replaced the fuel pump and sending unit with AC Delco since I was back their. I replaced my water pump. Replaced all my burned out bulbs. Need to change the oil now. Gotta do a power steering fluid flush, as well as a brake fluid flush. Just about ready for another reliable year of F body enjoyment. Once I get this car squared away, its on to my other two that are pretty much only needing fluid changes. Then all 3 will be ready for Spring of 2013! I'll be cruising every weekend their is sun. Who else is ready for spring, or getting ready at least?

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

I just need to unplug the battery tender, check the psi in the tires, and hop in!

[PolarBear]

WINTER RULES! :twisted:

Basically thats it for the SOM along with a good wash.

Just dropped the LT1 off at the chassis shop today. So when I get that back I just need to do a few little odds and ends and that will be done.

In about a month my new trailer will be here, so will need to do a few things to that when it comes.

[Dudbird113]

Just need to install intake manifold, converter maybe a new trans, and tune. Then im good (was good up to today lol). Probally gonna try to get a track rental going in spring.

[WiMiMc]

I just need to get some pieces painted, grease up the lower control arms and I'm good. Not excited to see the $$ difference in cruising in car vs cruising on bike :|

[KevinW]

I need to finish my Stereo (amp, speakers, sub) install, test and put the dash back together and replace the front wheel bearings. Then a wash, wax, detail and ready to go! I usually find a place to go every week when the weather is nice! I am building my central NJ cruise calendar as we speak. Should be ready to go by April after everyone updates their cruise/show info :D

[LTb1ow]

Need to change fluid, transfer case should be fun. Then some tints and I am all set.

[greenformula92]

you guys crazy, if it isn't raining or snowing or there isn't salt on the roads im driving mine. she doesn't get put away

[bigz28man]

The Z is ready, just have to connect to battery. The SS will be getting retinted, any maybe new rubber...but for the most part its ready.

[Dudbird113]

I drive mine regardless of those, just that 4th gear went and othera are acting wierd so back apart she goes

[Jersey Mike]

It'll never finish.

[wrong generation]

no need to wait until spring or a sunny/salt free day. fbodies were ment to be driven all year long and are a blast to drive in the snow and ice.

[NHRABill]

I have a Rusty 76' I am working on now replacing a rear frame rail then I have to patch panel every body part, full exhaust, manifold, carb, tuneup, prep and paint.

After I am done with that in March I have to decide Sell my 94'Z28 vert or touch up a ding or 2 and paint then sell cause I need a truck.

I still have to Finish my Vette which needs to transform from race car back to street ... New gas tank fuel pumps, rework interior wipers and headlights would be a nice option etc. In the meantime I will ride my motorcycle.

[maroman88]

Vette is away in storage, just gotta plug the battery back in come spring.
TA is fine, but needs a new cat and id like to paint the hood
Camaro is parked (3 years now!) with a nasty trans leak, maybe ill get it towed to the shop in the spring, i sent away for QQ plates so maybe that will spark some motivation
Blazer is having ABS issues, needs a fuel tank pressure sensor, needs front bottom ball joints... im sure more will break soon lol but this is my DD

[Paul Huryk]

I've got a big boxful of suspension and brake parts to go into the GTA - waiting for a rod end for the panhard rod to finish up the rear; then the front goes under the knife...

[sweetbmxrider]

I jump started mine and raised some hell in the streets just now.

[Mezzy]

I detailed my engine again for the umpteenth time, lol

[mc73nova]

Not me, engine isn't finished yet. I'm hoping to be ready by the second week of March at the latest.

[ar0ck]

If Spring in NJ could start next week that would be great! Just need to finish connecting a wiring harness, add fluids, connect the torque arm & driveshaft and its game on for a test run of my Frankenstein.

[deadtrend1]

I got the 96 back thursday. I could have the interior back in and pretty much done this week coming up, if i wasn't going to be in Florida all week .... :evil:

[PolarBear]

Working on the Lemon was great, it was beautiful today! 8-)







LONG LIVE WINTER!

[Mezzy]

Florida? Wow, lucky you!

[chrisfrom nj]

[Geezer powered]

[8hnpSS]

Everyone is treating these 30k (new) cars like they're Ferrari's or Lambo's. I drive mine every day, rain, snow or sun. These cars aren't meant to be garage queens, although I wish I had a beater to drive in the snow, but otherwise get them out there and enjoy life! It gives me a laugh when people in heavier, better wet-handling cars drive slow as hell in the rain (snow I'm a grandma) because I'm passing them in a light rear-assed car in all season tires \m/

[1320B4U]

^ I find fun in watching these 330i's and is350's sliding sideways at 2mph on a slight incline on 287...so much i honk and wave. If you can afford a 40k car, you should be able to afford another means of traveling thru the whitestuff. After the 1st snow storm w/my is300, i bought a truck....the 'snow' button on some of these cars are as useless as the 'elevator close' button a incessantly push all the time.

LOL. I was thinking the same thing yesterday when I saw a 750i holding up traffic going up a slight incline.

only people who have no daily driver/beater say such silly things.


my cruze ltz has 18" michelin a/s tires and it did not want to go up the driveway today!

[WildBillyT]

Ultimate driving machine...

All of the sudden ultra high performance Nurburgring tires don't look so flashy.

[Jersey Mike]

Quattro with a clutch. F'ing monster.

[Featherburner]

Ultimate driving machine...(when it's dry and summer time)Made it a little more realistic.

[91chevyz28]

I'm ready for spring since I just picked up a 2008 Trailblazer SS. It's real clean but I still want to detail it.

[coolmanvette75]

I'm almost ready for spring with the car. All I need to do is...everything. Lol

[wrong generation]

http://i47.tinypic.com/72g9lf.jpg
after a long night of making donuts the camaro quietly sleeps under a blanket of snow

[omarcamaro]

start it and go

[Mezzy]

Just shoveled out. I'm ready for spring. Again. Can't wait for the warm weather. Had enough of this. 70 degrees can't come fast enough.

[PolarBear]

What a bunch of cry babies, move to Florida if you dont like the snow

[TaKid455]

Took truck out in snow. Kept 4wd off for more fun. Also to learn the reactions of said truck in snow.

A 2wd truck is pretty useless in snow actually. 4wd is a beast in this thing. '99 1500 Z71

[mc73nova]

Dyno'd on Wednesday, going to pick up the engine today, should be 100% by weeks end and may even get to Atco next Saturday if the weathers is decent.

[IROCZman15]

gotta carve out some time to do the drum - disc brake swap on the car, then its good to go. replacing stock rear drum brakes with a nice set of 12" d/s rotors and PBR calipers, new braided lines and hardlines too. Proportinion valve, ebrake cable, fuild change too.

[BonzoHansen]

i am totally ready for spring. got the 81Z in the garage, got the spring maintenance done on the DDs on Saturday, and I am already of tired of baseball practice in the indoor cages.

[deadtrend1]

... got the 81Z in the garage...

When did this happen?

[BonzoHansen]

it's a long story....

[Mezzy]

:cold::cold:I thought spring was here, so I called my insurance co. and told them to put all my cars back on legal driving status so I could take advantage of that killer weather we had earlier in the week. If I had known it was just a tease, I would have just kept staring at them under wraps. I don't think we are going to have an enjoyable season this year. Looks to be a crappy spring of cold and rain, followed by a dismal summer of unenjoyable ***** weather. I won't be coming out except if we get those perfect days. But I am guessing if we even see just a handful, ill still be waiting for a better season next year. This year is already proving to be a major major disappointment.

It's goddam gorgeous out! It's spring - it rains sometimes

[sweetbmxrider]

Definitely awesome out.

[zuuhlsT/A]

Yep was a good day. Got the Hawk outta my garage and changed the oil and put some air in the tires. Just gotta do the whole spring detail thing and it's good to go! Can't freaking wait. Haven't driven it since last August.

[WildBillyT]

No rain, mid 70s until Friday.

Now the only thing left is to wait a couple of more days for the GREEN DEATH CLOUD OF POLLEN DUST to cover EVERYTHING!:-x
