Winter Upgrades For Your TR?

BEACH BUM · 10-08-2008, 12:14 AM

Will you be doing any upgrades to your car this winter? If so...what?

qwk_6ix · 10-08-2008, 02:11 AM

#1 priority is some alky for me then who knows...maybe bigger injectors and a walbro 340 since I'm dropping the tank to fix my sending unit?

A good tach, a boost gauge that goes higher

, Fr. sway bar and boxed lower arms are on my list too though.
As soon as spring hits though I'm going to be on the prowl for some sticky tires.

There's a young lady in Maryland using Moser axles. If they're good enough for her...they're good enough for me.

BEACHBUM RACING recommends the Autometer 5" Monster Tach with Shift Light...accept no substitute. And don't forget the other gauges...beg, borrow or steal.

I'm not familiar with what appears to be a radio delete plate?
Is that OEM?

Did you get rid of the radio or just move it elsewhere? The radio is a must for me, I couldn't get rid of that. Then I would have to listen to the wife

Mike, the radio is gone...and so is the wife.

I am ordering the bigger, more aerodynamic custom mud flaps. It's going to cost a pretty penny but it'll be worth at least 5 tenths

Bring it on Doug!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have to get my brakes done first so I can drive it next year and then I'm doing an Art Carr 3000 NLU converter, RJC downpipe and SMC alky kit. Gonna grab a Dutt Necked intercooler off Jamaican Paul too and install my ATR 4 gauge pod.
