Default Plans For The Car in 2012

What are the plans for 2012?

I'm personally not sure what I'm gonna do. New wheels are probably in the picture somewhere. Planning to be tucking 19's.

waiting for the late 2011 be completed (finishing paintjob, installing new wheels, spoilers and sideskirts).

then, the 2011 "season" will be over.


2012 will include, replacing all belts, hoses and watertubes for start.

maybe installing a turbo (mine is non-us spec, 5 gear manual transmission non-turbo)

Wheels and hopefully a swap back to S4 struts and springs. I'm sick of destroying tires because of these dogshit Vmaxx coilovers.

I talked to a couple guys about it but on further reflection I realized it'd be a dick move - I wouldn't wish those ******* pieces of **** on anyone. I'd feel like a *****. They're going in the trash.
