*The list may include non-car goals as well.

I'll start it off:

Personal:
Spend less time on the computer & use that time to go to the GYM.... making it a daily occurence. :D

Car:
1. 3G Alt Conversion
2. DCC Fan Controller
3. Taurus Fan
4. Install H&R race front springs
5. Powder coat valve covers to match new intake

Personal:
1. Get back into a workout routine. I don’t care for going to the gym so I have to figure out something for home. I already did P90X a while back. I may give kettle bells a try or set up a gym at my father in-laws house.
2. Continue to save to buy our way out of the town house. May do some research about being a landlord.
3. Complete “The Essential 100 Challenge” and then start the “Chronological 1 Year” Bible plan.

Install H&R race front springs

How come just the front springs....is it because your wanting better grip & to keep the front end down more? Im just curious, no real reason.

....I may add 4.10 gears late summer to 11' list. Just depends on money situation as well as if i want to deal with the hassle of removing my sct chip (1st) & (2nd) sending it back to BAMA tuners (for a free reburn) while i install the gears. Dunno, have to wait and see. Don't really know if i want to spend too much more money on this mustang at this point. (I don't know if anyone else has felt or feels this way?) Im starting to have other needs that are more important the throwing it into a car esp when it go most of the basic bolt-on mods installed. BUT i shall say excited for summer and getting to be able to spend time outside. As of late, its been inside because it's just too cold. Also because im looking forward to undertaking the Cobra Braking system installation :p.

Because the rears are already installed. I have rear adj control arms so it was an easy swap. The front is sitting on H&R sports right now.
