Well the main thing is I want to do the LTCC mod.. I picked up the coil packs for $25 off of Clist, Then I have to order the "brain" and wiring harness ($400) and plugs and wires and I'm done!
That and new tires... the rears are bald (go figure) and the fronts have like 90% tread, but their getting dry rotted... What's on your list for 2011? Jonathan |

- Dye dash and steering wheel
- install interior - polish exterior - reassemble exterior - sort out driveline angle - finish wiring T56 swap - fix A/C - fix cruise - install new rear control arms ...that's probably (more than) enough for this year. |

I'm hoping to get my Olds Custom Cruiser front bumper cover and a spare 9C1 rear cover painted and installed. The current covers on my car have spiderweb cracks in the paint. I also just picked up a different trunk spoiler to try out.
Maybe I'll drive it more than 1k miles this summer? |

The LTCC uses a coil per cylinder, it only uses the opti for timing.
I'll be working on the engine again soon, then have to put the car together. Have most of what I need. |

Yeah thats about how many I managed last summer... I'm tempted to see if anyone wants to trade a T56 setup for a built CPT3/edge setup solely for gas mileage  not that I would ever get around to installing it... Jonathan |

Install a new torque converter I've had kicking around for a few years now,
flush the trans fluid, check the line pressure (I think the shifts are getting a little softer). Prep the car for the ISSCA Nats (brake fluid flush, new calipers, hoses, front pads and rotors). Bonneville 12-way seats have a wiring problem somewhere, need to diagnose that. Pinion bearings need replacing. Do a civillian Caprice appearance conversion package (aluminum alloys, caprice grille, 93-96 taillights, gunsight hood ornament put back on). Drive it!!! Wagon needs plugs and wires. After 5 years the magnecor wires are no longer holding up. This post has been edited by sherlock9c1: May 9 2011, 06:41 AM |
