Pentaxis · 11-06-2006, 01:56 PM

I'll be out tonight with my new exhaust and camera to take some shots if you are down...

Seth W · 11-06-2006, 06:17 PM

I dont think I'll be down at the shop tonight, also I wont be around thursday because of my grandmas funeral, sorry for not making it out their leng.

MR2Bliss · 11-06-2006, 08:04 PM

Sorry to hear about all the loses guys, prayers are with you...

d962r · 11-06-2006, 08:30 PM

so Paul... hows your motor comming along? You 'bout have that thing done and in the car yet? Can't wait to see what it pulls on the Dyno.

mr2greasemonkey · 11-06-2006, 09:33 PM

Paul's engine/trans assy is ready for install, just have to do a little more work on Jason's car before I can take it off the rack and get his car on.

Gonna need some volunteers to go pick up the 3vz from John some time this week or weekend. Will also need to go pick up the donor car so vince and Seth should contact me so we can sort this out.

If things go as planned, both Paul and Jason's cars will be out this month.

mk1matt · 11-06-2006, 09:47 PM

hey zai, just wondering if you have had a chance to check your notes?

Pentaxis · 11-07-2006, 06:57 PM

Sorry for being a tard last night. I got off a little late from work, ate a huge dinner and promptly passed out on the couch. Haha... Are you guys going to be out there tonight late? I get off at 9pm tonight..

d962r · 11-07-2006, 09:23 PM

not sure if I have to work this weekend yet or not. but sunday is open for sure.
Seth. let me know when we want to do this. you make the call. I should be available any day... I doubt I have to work Sat.

I wish I had seen this yesterday.. I would have gone to go get the 3vz tonight. where is it anyway?

Seth W · 11-07-2006, 11:37 PM

vince preaty much any day works for me. thursday I have off cus of the funeral thing so that is a no go and the weekend would be any time after 3 because of work. if you wanted we could even do it tomorrow or friday but it's your call. we'd probibly have to do it after 6 because jason needs to be at his place to move the other RX7. anyways what ever works for you given those times and such. I guess the plan is to bust ass on pauls car to get it out of the shop then work on jasons as well. but their is room for the car.

on a side note once the beat the heat car is in I'd really like to see some people step up and help out for a change. I for one dont want to be having to do most of the work just to get it done and I'm sure zai feels the same way. I figure onnce it's in we should probibly make a list of whats needed to be done and deticate those tasks to certin people.

SE-RMR2 · 11-08-2006, 02:57 PM

I will be try my best to come and help out on the BTH car, but i am going through some stuff right now so you know...

d962r · 11-08-2006, 06:16 PM

Friday after work will work. you name the time. or Sat is ok too.

And on the other note... I'm not going to be much help except on weekends. I have to watch kids monday-friday as the wife is goings to school. once that is all over then no problem.

talked to this guy today Josh, he has a bunch of SC parts for sale. he's not that cheap but he has some parts...

Seth W · 11-08-2006, 06:47 PM

lests shoot for some time after 6 on friday then. I got my sandblaster today from harbor freight today...should be preaty neat if all goes well.

Pentaxis · 11-08-2006, 07:29 PM

yoshimitsuspeed · 11-12-2006, 03:11 PM

Hey guys what's goin on?
I just thought I would say hi.
I broke up with Vanessa (my girlfriend of 5 years) couple weeks ago. I still want to get to Portland soon but it's not going to be any easier now that I am single and relying soley on my own income.
Man this has been one crazy trip.
On the bright side I ended up with our new 88 toy pickup and the millermatic 135 mig we just picked up. On the downside it cost me most of the cash I have made recently.
I have some plans for this little pickup and it includes some of the front half of a second gen MR2 and a little custom work. I probably won't be able to get into that project till I get back to OR though.
Let me know if anyone knows of a cool cheap place to stay out there.

Zai, Vince and Seth I can't wait to see how your big projects are coming along. Considering my Mk1 doesn't even run and my pickup cranks out a whopping 100 hp and is aerodynamically competitive with a mobile home I think I have some catching up to do.
