With winter upon us, are you guys parking the SHOs to do any necessary maintenance and building for spring, or is the SHO your daily driver and snowtime warrior? What are your plans for your car this winter?

Me personally, this is my daily driver, for the past 2 years I've driven this car over 100 miles a day m-f and now that I've graduated from college (woo!) my commute drops to only 60 miles per day haha.

For the winter, I plan to at least spend some time over the next few weeks on vacation and doing some much needed maintenance and installing the parts I've been stockpiling the past 6 months.

* DW340 fuel pump
* Wilwood 6-piston brake setup
* R1 Concepts rotors
* Puddle lamp replacement (passenger side went out about 6 months ago)
* Windshield washer pump replacement (went out in June)
* PTU fluid swap (drain plug is stripped, need to order a new one)
* Needs a good round of rock chip touch up and a buff/cut

How about you guys? What's on the agenda?

msd coils, inter cooler and xdi35. have all but the coils sitting on the bench. Need to get one of the local race guys who owns a shop to make me and X pipe for 3rd cat delete that will bolt in and out.
also let you guys get the lpfp figured out to make it plug and play. This leaves about the only thing missing..... bigger turbos..... and my wife will shoot me for sure!
bought the car new in dec 2014 for my wife and she put 40k on it up to 1.5 years ago and now it's my daily and weekend track ride!

Lol I bought it under the guise that it was plug and play! Unfortunately about the farthest thing at this point. Sent it to DW for their installation

I am going to purchase both fuel pumps, a noise maker delete pipe, and add an x-pipe.

That will only leave me with turbos to do. Good times.

Also that brake upgrade may need to be purchased after the turbos...

Not nearly as exciting as you guys, but continuing the replacement of the front end. Next up is CV axles and tire rod ends.

The more fun stuff EPP noise maker delete and msd coils. Its my DD so not sure how much more power I want to put into it.

Nice! Business or pleasure? Not that I've graduated I may start traveling for work again. Dubai was amazing.

Beast mode, what kind of competition?
I complete in strongman. I have been fortunate enough to compete across the US and into Europe over the past 11 years. South Africa is a place I have wanted to go and I am fortunate enough to have the opportunity to compete.

I am on IG @justadudethatcooks. I have some cool stuff I post between the SHO, food, and training.

But kudos to you for still being able to pull off wearing such attire. LOL
