The Mustang is really close. I am going to get the sub frame connectors on it and then get the tint redone and replace the door seals.
For the Datsun we are finally going get the race motor in it. The glorified street motor is on season five. I'm also going to get several small jobs like getting the cobbled together exhaust redone.
I can't do much on the Toyobaru, no garage I can work on the car inside, much less a heated one...also very little to no budget this year. So off-season work is going to be trying to squeeze some work in just going into and coming out of winter.
Top priorities are to get the oil cooler system back together and do some work on a big ABS cutoff button. Maybe if there's enough budget, a dyno run so I can improve the accuracy of the car's "digital twin" (I suspect it may have a little less power and more grip than the real car). Brakes and oil are still fresh so no need to change them for next year. Might change the brake fluid, although it's hardly seen any use, it will be over a year old...
Bug tremec for their new s550 t56 magnum xl transmission. Fab some real exhaust since the stock oe is a steaming pile of crap. New tires as the nittos hate manuals. Ditch a couple hundred pounds. Regear to 4.56 and ditch the torsen.
Test days at Thunderhill and Sonoma in December, then in late January there's an SCCA Majors on the new track at Buttonwillow that I'll probably go to.
Off season? What's that? :)
