Todd's Mods

dd74 · 12-21-2003, 04:47 PM

Okay: we know Nostatic's status. It looks like TRE & Automotive Innovations are getting the car back to its sweet status with a cool front spoiler/bumper to boot.

My question is "What's next?"

Unless Todd chimes in himself, and assuming he hasn't done any modifications thus far, what do you think his next modification(s)should be?

I'd opt for larger torsion bars.

Anyone else?

Fins and fur.

Fake fur, since he has a conscience.

he's talking about my car, not my underwear.

the only "mods" at this point are Bilstein sports all around, carrera cooler, elephant finned lines, and the new valence/tail.

Beyond some bigger wheels in back, my next targets would be suspension (though not too harsh since it is my daily driver) and (preferably) seat time at the track. No seeking HP until those two are addressed...

No fuzzy dice, a head-bobbing daschund on the parcel shelf or blue flourescent lights shining under the car?

I thought you were asking about non-obvious mods. Those go without saying...so I didn't say it.

I am just glad it is going back so well and so fast. Those guys are TRE are on the gas. Wow they get the job done. It look like great work. I hope you get your 911 fix soon and maybe some track time.
Other Mods I Don't Know.

Enjoy you Holidays

Backdate. How about some of Chuck's bushings? Or Skidplates and a NRA sticker

Seriously, Im glad to see your car is coming back together so fast.

Something nice for the wife might be a good idea.

While not a big skidplate fan, Chuck (Heston) and I are kinda
partial to those stickers!

22 inch reums(yes, I'm making fun of people who call wheels, reums)

I got her an art glass vase from Lundberg studios for xmas. And I didn't do a 3.6 swap.

Careful with the skidplate talk...I'm very partial to the Rothman's Dakar car. And speaking of Dakar, there is a 25th anniversary show on Speed right now. Some amazing footage.

You're right, Todd! I am a skidplate fan! That Rothman's car is fantastic!

What kind of tail are you going with?

Duck?
Carrera?
Tea-tray?
???

"...reums..." Hilarious!

Recaros.

Removal of the back seats to enable storage of a marshall head and a return to the bigger/louder is better excesses of the 70's? of course to complete the look he'd have to back date not only his car, but his hair as well, he seems to be looking a little to GQ Jack lately......for a musician I mean......

The next mod is for the driver to stare down his own mortality in turn eight at Willow Springs. Done flat out, it's scarier than writing a check for repairs.

DD74, would you like to join him?

dd74 · 12-21-2003, 09:14 PM

You bet, Jack. Tell me the date again, please. You and Ty will be the instructors, right?
