RogerS Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 For those putting the car away for the winter, any plans for mods? If so what do you have planned? We are predicted to get our first snow this Thursday and that's pretty much it in New England. At least for me that is. I do know others are planning to drive through the winter. It will be interesting to see their impressions on how the car reacts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BriMac Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Thinking about a watts link, slotted brake rotors/performance pads and UDP's. Still good driving weather in my part of the country for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGT Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 No, plans for the winter just putting it away. Is the snow coming down to MD or staying up that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerS Posted November 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 No, plans for the winter just putting it away. Is the snow coming down to MD or staying up that way. Updated states Saturday now and looks like rain to snow showers. We may luck out. But looks like just the upper region for all snow. Not much just enough for them to put down salt and sand.

BriMac Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 Nice, did you decide on a brand on the watts setup? Thanks. Still shopping on the watts. Will probably be Fays or Lakewood, but still not sure. These are the rotors I'm thinking about. Link to Brake Rotors Anybody had any experience, good or bad? And probably Steeda pullies. BTW, if I remember right, Adam said on the Shelby site that he thought you purchased the interior 1/4 window covers. If so, how do they look. Do they match up with the interior well or do they look....for lack of better wording, "out of place". Just curious because with my tinted windows in the day, you can see the tape on the back side of my 1/4 block off plates. Thanks Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Brian I looked at the Fays setup and while the engineering is there I just can't get over the bulkiness of the look. I have looked at the Lakewood setup also. I am leaning towards a complete setup from CHE Carriage House Engineering http://powerhouse411.com/catalog/index.php...;products_id=30 The Griggs is a great setup also and as I mentioned, I just cannot get over the 3rd. member as the center attachment point. I cancelled the interior panels because Scott Drake just released a set of brushed aluminum interior trim panels that would come close to matching my dash. Here at the 2 links to the interior panels. http://www.modernspeedmachines.com/catalog...products_id/439 http://partscheap.com/scottdrake05.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilmor Posted November 7, 2007 Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 rosssvt, that snow ain't gonna amount to much; I think you'll be able to drive on Sunday!! As for winter mods, funny you should ask...my winter mods will be to install my snow tires / wheels. I've shown this photo on the "other" forum, but here they are (photographed during the first "test" install). They are Michelin Ice on black Bullits. I hope I never really have to use them!

RogerS Posted November 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2007 That's too funny. Maybe Sunday! I hope you don't really need to use them either. Looks good with the black bullitt's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerS Posted November 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 Well the winter moding has begun. I just received confirmation that my steering wheel has shipped. Orderd in May another long wait but well worth it. Seems it was as SEMA on display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaiserkreb Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I'd drive mine all winter if I even remotely trusted all the jackasses that haul ass around town thinking they can stop on a dime because they have ABS... I'm pretty positive that I'm a good driver, It's just that IMHO no one else around me is... =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiserkreb Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Low to mid 30's tonight! god I wish, it was 0 yesterday, today it's -20 C, snowing and blowing like mad. I guess that's about -4 for you mostly Fahrenheit crowd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
