so you want us to spill them again Dave?
um...I've been debating airrunner aswell but want to drive in J's car to see how it handles. hopefully he'll get it soon so I can fly up and test drive the system..
I was going to redo the whole trunk but I really want to enjoy the car for the rest of this year so thats more of a Feb. mod for me now..
This 1/4-
Yank out the motor and everything else in the bay and paint the engine bay body color with clearcoat
Some more chrome in the engine
( I know 
)
Boost controller
Turbo timer
Engine maganement (afc for a quick tune and probably greddy ultimate or aem later)
Dyno tuning
DSR grill

This will probably more than likely be for early in 06, hopefully.
StopTech BBK
Change my radio to http://69.93.14.227/index.cfm?fuseac...roduct_ID=2906 or what ever else catches my eye from now to then.

Not really a winter list but a committed future mods list. This was on my (private) list from last year and because of some changes in my life, none got done (which is why I was hesitant to list them publicly). Maybe by listing them publicly this year, I will try harder this winter to do some of it. 
In no particular order:
1. FI
2. Headlight retro
3. Electronics (Nav, mild trunk a la Dave, ...)
4. Kit
5. Wheels
6. Rear Brakes
We'll see (again) what I can get accomplished this winter. At some future point, if I can get this done, I can finally call the car DONE!

Here's the last two threads (I've locked them while this thread is active so they aren't bumped.
#1 Original Beans Spillage
#2 Son of Beans courtesy Hameed.
I'll start this thread with me... this fall and winter I plan to work on the interior of the car mainly.
1) Install new leather interior I bought during the Leatherseats GB. I got Sandstone inserts that match the darker brown part of the doors, similar to what Lexforlife (Ed) got, but without the semi-circles. Although I know many have done this install themselves, I'm definitely paying a local recommended professional to do it for me.
2) Do something 'different' with the steering wheel... I'm not quite sure what yet. Not a fan of wood, but something to make it a little different than it is now. The 98 wheel is very bland, and I've got some worn leather.
3) Sirius Radio. Not sure how I'm going to wire it up yet as I don't think my Eclipse is Sirius-ready, could just use my RCA inputs and get a portable unit. Want to figure this out before Howard Stern comes on the air at end-of-year.
4) Getting a custom grounding kit made sometime in the fall / winter and dialing in the car audio. Needs some work.... some songs sound great, others like crap.
I'd also like to hear about what you are planning to do to your GS over the fall and winter beyond sticking on the winter tire and wheel package. Fess up!
