Default Car plans for spring weather?

If you guys are like me, bored and sick of crappy winter weather, then you most likely have some elaborate plans for your car upon the glorious return of spring weather.

Let's see what you've got in store for spring!

Personally, I'm just planning an epic detailing session. I'm going to bust out the PC and some machine polish, and try to get the paint flawless. I want to pull off the wheels and spend a few hours cleaning the suspension/wheel wells, and then install my SSR wheels. I'm also going to buy some tinted Laminix film for the bumper lights, and try to make them less hideous.

What are your plans?

Comp C's; I've had them, just took them off for winter so they don't get ruined by salt.

Probably just detail the car.

try to find a matching recaro for the passenger seat.
35% tint all the way around.
roll the fenders and dial in more camber for the new set up.

Well... seeing how our spring weather is the same as our winter weather (rain) I will most likely not be doing much besides gathering parts for the JRSC I just got Still need K-Pro, clutch, and a tune.

I plan on installing my new KSport camber kit for the rear so I can get rid of my -2.5 degrees of camber. Also installing new front upper strut mounts as the bearings have gone out again. And then a good wheelS detailing and repainting session. I also plan on detailing the chassis and engine bay. I am moving to Kansas this summer so I want to get it prepared for a state where they salt the roads. Probably won't spend any more money than what I have already purchased though because I want to save up and get a beater so I can garage the Civic in the winter and don't have to expose it to salt roads.

Since this is my DD and I have just recently purchased it, I have decided in spring I am going to mount some Yonaka coilovers and a SS midpipe. Already did the Hondata airbox mod, Also start building a K24 with a friend of mine for the EP3 that I will drag over the year for completion.

For my other car (Summer Only) 2006 STI 464 whp and 444wtq I have ordered a set of 18x9 ADVAN RS wheels in Gunmetal with Yokahama Advan AD08's 265/35/18 also have an oil cooler to put on for the track, some hoses, tstat and finally KW V3's to replace the kit I have now.

Should be a good summer, can't wait.

wife has a bad back so 550lb front springs are not a option for me.....running a-spec right now...I may put some 400lb ft springs/ konis on the front is I am getting to much body lean in the autoX's this season.
