probibly gonna do intake manifold gaskets to the monte, would also like to replace the torque convertor lockup sensor thats effed up. thinking about swapping on a 3400 intake manifold and throttle body while its apart if the junkyard has a decent one ( shouldint be a problem) also thinking of getting a milzy motorsports tuned PCM to stick in, but thats only after the trans is fixed.
and god only knows with the buick, still pissed about the window trim not staying on...

Upcoming projects for the Monte:
- New front brake pads. Turn rotors (or replace if needed).
- Exhaust improvements. Magnaflow mufflers; aftermarket downpipe w/high flow Cat (with u-bend delete). Would love to open it up more with a replacement for stock resonator, but it's my wife's daily driver. I'll start with this and see if I can open it further w/o making it too loud.
- Aftermarket PCM, probably ZZP 1.0
- Cold Air Intake of some kind
For the old Jag XJ-S:
- New front brake pads. Turn rotors (or replace if needed).
- Gut the exhaust from Cat back. Increase pipe to 2.25" (currently 1 7/8"). Remove stock mufflers & resonators; put Magnaflow mufflers where current stock resonators are (behind rear axle).
- Troubleshoot high idle issue. This could get ugly... Lots of potential causes.
- Homebrew a Cold Air Intake to replace overly restrictive stock intake. Nothing off the shelf really exists.
- New tires
For the VFR:
- New tires
- New handlebar risers (for more comfortable riding position)
If I get through half this list by Spring, I'll be overjoyed.

Mkk well here's my list (I think, hopefully I don't miss anything)...this is the list before car show season, no particular order either lol
-STBs : got em today so that's marked off the list =)
-brackets for STBs
-Legacy headrests : technically have them lol I gotta pay for em still
-replace struts (desperately need em done soon)
-lowering springs & supporting mods
-replace eyelids with gloss vinyl
-painted supercharger, alternator, fuel rails, valve covers, etc
-painted hood liner
-FWI
-replaced right tail light
-roof rails
-painted wheels
-install the new steering wheel radio control buttons I have
-repainted filler with new signature decal
-trunk panel
-replaced supercharged badges
-HIDS
&& I think that's it. I reallyyyyy want the interior to be done before next car show season but I think it'll be more effective if I have a lot of lil stuff done instead of one big thing bcuz the interior won't be cheap whatsoever, same thing with the major performance mods. It's a crazy list but hopefully I can get at least half of em done. I'm only asking for money for my bday & christmas so hopefully that'll help get some of em =)
