Default Winter FIA upgrades

Now that fate has dealt it's hand once again, and ERA 2080 (FIA) will be staying in the family, I'm thinking after 20 years, and over 20,000 miles, it's time to make some proactive updates to the car. Have already been through the suspension, brakes, and basic undercarriage "tech"

Now, since the car will remain a 99% street driven car, I've ordered new Cooper Cobra tires (arrive tomorrow) to replace my 11 year old Avon units.
235/60/15 for the front
295/50/15 for the rear

Have a new carpet set and DEI heat shielding for underneath sitting on my work bench, those will get installed in the fall, or over the winter.

Thinking about urethane motor and transmission mounts, but have yet to find the stock equivalents.

Maybe pull the exhaust system and send it out to be jet-hot coated.

Just starting to figure things out in my head, thought I'd put it down on paper (so to speak) and get some other people to chime in to see what they would do if they were in my shoes.
