I have the following on the 924s
Rear hub bearings
Repack front bearings and new seals
Replace front A arm bushings
Change rims and tires back to my summer set.
Relocate the Accusump
Oil Change
Install sender on the accusump and install new VDO OP gauge.
On the Expedition
New shocks
New ABS sensor in the rear
New axle seals
New E Brake Pads
If I get all this done I will celebrate and get me a a bottle of Glenfiddich 21 Year Old as I will have saved about 10x this by doing all this instead of have a mechanic do it.
See I can justify anything LOL.
It's garage cleaning weekend for me. The floor is currently a big pile of salt, and I need to get it washed up.
If the warm weather holds, next week will be the back brakes and maybe diff on the jeep.
If I get the parts in starter and brakes on Mazda 808
My Nissan Quest is leaking oil from the drain plug so I should look into that.
start pulling parts on the kawasaki to do an engine swap - probably won't get too far - got a bigger honeydew list
NOTHING! Wooo! I'm going spring skiing. A weekend off from the cars, ahh.
I maybe pulling out the remains of a 7+ year old mp3 played that came installed in the dash board of my Miata.

I ordered flooring for the kitchen about 10 days ago. I am hoping it did not show up today.
Protege: distrib cap, rotor, plugs, wires, oil and filter, partial fabbing of new rear stut top mounts.
Spitfire: all fluids get changed/flushed. Brake, engine, tranny, diff, coolant, clutch. And take close look at replacing all the bushings with polys.
I might start cutting into the Swiss cheese floors in my CSX.
I've got a pretty good laundry list going as well:
280zx:
-Replace front ball joints
-Drop front crossmember
-Reseal oil pan
-Install manual rack
-Install new tie rod ends
-Replace front control arm, traction rod, and sway bar bushings
-Replace brake lines
RX-8:
-Fabricate cat-back exhaust
Wreck Racing Miata:
-Intake manifold fabrication
-Electric water pump testing
-Install rear tow hook
I hope to plant my garden this weekend....that'll be one big item off the Honey-Do list.
Landscaping while the wife is partying . . .
Getting the E30 ready for sale, taking stock of the M3. Love it.
Getting an inspection sticker for the non-turbo FC so I can drive it while the MS3 is in the body shop. I will also be taking photos of the non-turbo FC to prep it for sale after that is done.
I need to check the wiring on the Mazdaspeed3's horn, since it cuts out sometimes. I will be going to the body shop to schedule an appointment to get the dent in my MS3's door and fender fixed. If I can make it to HMS in time, I may pick up some Motul 75W-30 for the MS3, since some MS3 owners on the Mazda3 forum I go to have reported synchro wear with the Ford Motorcraft fluid I am using. I don't have any problems yet, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
For the most part, though, I will be boxing up all of my spare parts, cleaners, etc. and putting them into storage. I will be moving soon so that takes precedence over car-stuff.
Fiancee's car- water pump, fix the leaking thermostat housing while I'm there, replace the windshield wiper motor
My car- put the non-snow tires on
My free 1996 Saturn that I just picked up- front fender replacement, coolant temp sensor harness replacement
Good weekend for It!
We've got another major snowstorm wander through, depending on how that goes I might not be able to do much with the cars.
So far the plan is:
- Wire up the electric choke on the Celica properly and then tune the carb once it warmed up right. Oh, and do stuff like valve clearances etc, all of which are supposed to be set hot.
- Throw the tuneup kit at the CJ7, weather permitting.
- Exchange more emails with the guy who's trying to sell an X1/9
FM 2.5 suspension kit with GC's
FM Frame rails and butterfly brace
Home fabricated cat-back
Summer wheels and tires (guaranteeing another blizzard)
Upper control arms and lower ball joints
Etc. Can't wait until its done :)
Well I got spring break but over the next week. Change oil, clean and paint Bottlecap wheels, paint fenders and tank on bike, touchup bike frame, rebuild front forks, design intake for Formula car.
Nothing. I'm going to drive the crap out of it at an autocross tomorrow and hope all the stuff I did to it last weekend holds up.

I have an XC race in a month an a half... so I'm planning ride tomorrow... afterward, I'll make an attempt at replacing the EFI harness in the classic Volvo.
Maybe on Sunday, I'll do more than glance at the BMW for a change...
Wiper rack/motor, plus the driver window regulator in the Saab, then see if I can get some touchup paint mixed locally... the wife has been a bit, err, inattentive to her parking this winter. Change over to the summer wheels and tires on that one.
The SX4 gets a new RRM 4-1 header, the Tahoe need a new rear bumper, inspection, and is leaking brake fluid badly from somewhere invisible, and the Alfa has an oil leak onto the rear exhaust manifold and a completely flat left rear tire..
E36 M3, when the hell do I get to work on the racecar?!?

If I'm feeling PARTICULARLY ambitious, I'll do the snow tire changeover on my wife's Fit and my Civic.
Do I feel like doing 8 tire (wheel) changes tomorrow? We'll see...
