Cool dude, nice to meet you, don't sweat about my sn. Just call me by Allan

Anyhow as for update on my 2. A new built short block is in the process of being completed since my old one had bowed cylinder walls

The guy who sold it to me is an asshat.. I bought the motor like 3 years ago.. Have to take it as a loss.

On the bright side..finally got my valve cover polished and clear coated along with my throttle body

Pics here:

Mark_Dorman · 03-05-2009, 02:49 AM

That looks nice dude...

I was wondering how your MR2 was coming. I forgot this was your Tag. I got that TRD brace from you a while back...

deucegirl03 · 03-05-2009, 02:49 AM

yeah Mark i have been stupid busy. but i am loving it because i need the money and i am enjoying work and school. i got a panic call on mon nite from the head of the weld and auto depts because he needs biz handled that these other guys just cant seem to take care of properly. lesson learned: when you need something done right, call Renata!

PS: got to learn how to use a mill and lathe today in metal fab!

also welcome ProjekIssei

masagsxr · 03-05-2009, 02:52 AM

Looks bling Allan...

Wow Renata, looks like you are starting to stand out there. Great job...

deucegirl03 · 03-05-2009, 02:55 AM

thanks much mixxer!
i am excited about it. i am pissing off all the slackers in the program cuz the new girl is making them look bad

i love it when you can upset people by doing things right!

very niice cover allen i can't wait to get aluminum down it is a tough material to weld

ProjekIssei · 03-05-2009, 03:11 AM

Thanks everyone

Yeah I've heard its badass when you master to weld aluminum. I def. didn't do that clean weld on my valve cover, took it to a local fab shop. Nice to see a female excited about improving her machining skills!

honda_bar · 03-05-2009, 03:16 AM

Hey allan! Welcome...

Mark, I will sell you my dash for 800 bucks if you want.

Mixxer, why Gods green earth did you get the x6??????? I TOLD YOU X5!!

I GOT MY FOG LIGHTS HOOKED UP! Thanks Dennis for that vital piece of info, took me a few secs to do it

Best part is, they don't look dim

deucegirl03 · 03-05-2009, 03:17 AM

why thanks!
there should be more of us *sigh* hopin the change that...
yeah i am learning TIG and taking fab classes and got some plans for some things i want to make for the 2. some lil things i want to make to start out with are battery bracket assemblies (the OEM ones are ugly as sin) and some improvements to the pop up lights hardware (the lil plastic tabs that the 4 cover screws mount to are stripped on mine, wanna make some out of metal) etc.....
hoping to be able to share my skills with the community!

I wanted it to come out brigher... No big deal tho, shaving it should be a cake. I'd get that 9s if I see it looks good after Deni post some pix. Next project is to do the climate control myself.

honda_bar · 03-05-2009, 03:29 AM

whatever dude....

We are still down for 6 right?

o6spdracer · 03-05-2009, 03:37 AM

Whats up Allan. Welcome to the never ending thread. haha. j/k guys. Nice pics.

Good job Ren. It'll be good for you when layoffs come around and you stick out as one of the keepers. Take their jobs and bonuses!

I still need to do my LEDs...bahh being sick sucks.

6?? Is this an inside thing

Thanks o6spdracer, what name do you go by?

Davis · 03-05-2009, 03:40 AM

Welcome Allan!

Nice shiny valve covers!

Muahaha after 4 hours of careful cutting, my numbers are done.

Pics tomorrow. For $8 it turned out pretty good. Way cheaper than $100 online!

ProjekIssei · 03-05-2009, 03:47 AM

Whats up Davis, whats this whole numbers thing you've been talking about?

honda_bar · 03-05-2009, 03:49 AM

Davis, I got my foggies done

there was a harness already hiding on me... i found it after removing the lower part of the dash, thanks dennis. But we are still green for 7pm right?

deucegirl03 · 03-05-2009, 03:51 AM

alrite gotta force myself to go to sleep.
see you all online next time ..

Davis · 03-05-2009, 03:55 AM

Hey Allan, well I'm tired of taping up my class number on my car and the fact it pulls my paint out when I remove them.

So now I finished cutting out numbers from magnetic sheets I found at home depot.

Oh sweet Colin! That's good to hear! Although I have to admit, I feel sort of sad that I didn't get to help.

Yeah for sure, SF4 at Mixxers or what?
