You current & future car projects?

You current & future car projects?
I typed a long one then I accidentally erased the whole thing… duh….
So long story short, just wondering what are some of the current projects you are working on, and the possible future ones.
Right now, I need to fix the leakage problem, finish painting the interior, get the touch up paint, get rid of that cheap M3 mirror and go with either a better brand M3 mirror or a Spoon mirror, and fix that short shift (either get a B&M, or a new bushing?)
After all those are done, I can again enjoy a ride without having to worry about leaking, noise from short shift and wind noise from the mirrors. Then gonna get a rear strut bar, front + rear sway bar, a set of good dampers + control arms, and possibly a CF hood. But if the stock breaks are worn at some point, that will become the priority of course.
All these upgrades can probably get me a B18C engine… but I guess I just want to stiffen the body and get a better ride first, then focus on power.

I need some maintenance done first. Timing belt and a valve adjustment need to be done. Tires will probably be the next thing I buy. My XGT's suck! I already have an CAI and axel-back exhaust, so I will be looking for a header and a SiR cat/mid-pipe. When my brake rotors and pads need replacing, I'll upgrade to Brembo probably.

Right now I need to replace the tranny, get a camber kit, new tires, and possibly powder coat my rims. After that I'm basically done with the Civic, I was planning on a swap, but I want to get a Type R by next year. I'll still keep the Civic, but it'll be my beater.

right now my civic serves me just fine in getting me to and from work ... but eventually it'll become a trailer queen as it will be a race only car.
as for whats next for me ... when the civic becomes a race only car I'll need something to tow it with so I'll probably get a truck.

I need a tune-up, rear camber kit, and then save to pay off some money that I owe.
After I sell the civic, I'm thinking Audi A4 or something along those lines. I want it to be black with bling bling chrome rims with airbags.....

Depending on what I decide to do with University in the fall...
If I commute - bus/car, I'll be looking for an 88-91 Civic Si or Crx Si.
I won't be looking for something to expensive, I'd rather work on the car. Whether it be some engine work, body work, or just missing panels, I'll have a blast working on the car.
If I stay in res. first year, no car until april of next year. (Once exams are done) Then I'd be starting on the project- I basically want to get the car back to stock specs, then work on it a bit. No body kits, alcheezas or wings. Clean the car up, keep stock colour, get a nice 1.8" or so drop, a nice catback exhaust, get the interior looking very clean (no painting int., keeping it all stock).
Get a nice system installed, alarm, work on the engine a bit...

Undecided about other projects at this point, but the Civic for sure is going turbo this year. Then, front and rear lower braces, Z10 radius rods, Quaife, clutch, flywheel, by next year, then maybe a stand alone managment if I'm feeling like it - Hondata or E-manage.
