Default Plans for your R over the winter (upgrades, maintenance)?

I'm interested what everyone has planned, if anything.

I plan to:

Replace passenger side axle
Take another look in tranny, possibly replace shift forks
Get alignment
Look for a new header/intake
Have front lip and rims repainted
Pick up some Azenis or comparable tire in the spring.

- buy new r-comps for auto-x next year, probably v710's again. I just corded the current ones after two seasons and >100 runs

-possibly buy Koni's

-replace the last two or five motors mounts that are starting to get soft on me

-possibly find another trunk mat b/c my dumb **** decided to sell mine

-valve adj, coolant flush, new brake fluid

Cosmetic:

-remove tiny dent on fender

-new emblems

-two new centercaps (two are fading the other two are fine- weird)

-new front mats

-new shift ****

-new M1 & s2000 filter

I'm sure I'll think of more stuff....

Want to get the whole R sanded down for any rust spots from chips in the paint from rocks on the highway, and then repainted.

Doing engine build top to bottom.

Building a garage for the R currently to protect it from the winter.

I need to get a new 3rd gear in the Tranny. Maybe even a new final drive as well while I'm there.
I have already started replacing all the caR's bushings with Mugen replacements.
Need to get 2 new Azenis on my fronts to start next year's AutoX season off right and that will probally do it for me.

Was going to buy wheels, but I think I changed my mind and gonna get the 4.9 final drive instead and get it installed, then in spring buy SS lines, brake fluid, pads, change the timing belt and water pump, and buy some azenises for next spring/summer

I have my Azenis & asr rear subframe brace sitting in my room.
I need a new clutch.
Change my brake pads and fluid & tranny fluid.
Oil change & clean my seats before storage.
Hopefully buying some more stuff for my build.
Maybe some port work... I know there are threads I can find info in, but any references would be nice. I haven't cheaped out on anything on my car, so I'd like to have some top notch work.

I'm sure more will come. I kinda just buy on impulse if I want something.

Absolutely NOTHING! Start it up in the garage on Sunday & let it run for 30 min.
