Spring Tune-up
Oh boy, I feel like a little boy when Christmas is approaching. There is so much that I want to do to my car when it gets warm out. I can't stand all of this cold weather and snow. I just want it all to leave and stay away for ever. I am not that big a fan of winter. At all, I think that it should be banned or something like that. But anyways, come spring I need to do a MAJOR tune-up on the bonnie. Here'* what I have planned for my baby:
1.) New plugs (NGK TR6'*)
2.) New wires (8mm)
3.) Desperately needed oil change.
4.) New oil filter.
5.) New Flowmaster 80 series muffler.
6.) Smaller SC pulley along with a bigger belt tensioner.
7.) Top engine cleaner.
8.) Clean/ polish exhaust tips (stockers)
9.) Clean off brake rotors, get them nice and shiney.
10.) New brake pads.
11.) Painted brake calipers.
12.) Some good engine detailage:
-Paint the valve covers.
-Wash it out nice and good.
13.) Possiblly some new wheels/tires (Chromed out torquestars)
14.) Wash and wax.
15.) ***** up the forums with some pictures.
I can't wait till the warmer, sunny weather comes around. I am going to be a busy boy. A happy one too!

You're right it does kinda feel like waiting for a birthday as a kid. 3.5 pulley, ZZP PCM, 180 drilled T- stat, NGK TR55s, and Magnaflow exaust are my plans.
