12.6@ 115.92 MPH in the SRT-4... yea... its running good....

Seth W · 10-01-2006, 06:14 PM

thats great, remind me not to drag against that car. whats with the top speed though?

SE-RMR2 · 10-01-2006, 06:55 PM

what do you mean??? is 115mph good or bad???

Seth W · 10-01-2006, 08:23 PM

you got me I always thought top speed was around 120-130 for that time, then again I really dont drag much.

so whats the deal with your bbq arangements? I'd still like to do one but if the date gets kicked around too much I really dont want to bother then. I dont see any yays or nays about any set dates other than the ones I suggest.

SE-RMR2 · 10-01-2006, 09:14 PM

the week after the 7th is good for me, cause i have to go to my grandmas funeral on teh 7th and 8th ...

Seth W · 10-01-2006, 10:54 PM

sorry to hear about that, lets shoot for that following week then 15th sound good (2 weeks from now)

SE-RMR2 · 10-02-2006, 07:05 PM

i am gonna say sure that sounds good...

mr2greasemonkey · 10-02-2006, 08:31 PM

Sounds good, I'll mark my calendar. Hopefully it wont rain.

On another note, there's talk of having another dyno day. No set date yet.

I'm still looking for a turbo, damned they get expensive.

Hey Leng, I need to get that 3vz from John. Someone get a hold of him.

d962r · 10-02-2006, 10:22 PM

they closed me down at the OC! Bastards.. they closed about 5 threads there. all the good ones that real people were buiding there own cars. I guess they don't like those's of us that use are powers for good and not evil!!! may they burn in hell... Bastards!!!!!

d962r · 10-02-2006, 10:23 PM

and I had almost 10K hits... damn them....

Seth W · 10-03-2006, 01:49 PM

I saw this on the other board and it looked preaty neat http://mr2oc.com/showthread.php?t=208598 quick ratio steering box conversion for 1st and 2nd gens. My rims showed up today so it's like christmas in october, anyways if someone want to buy my old ones I'm thinking 500...not to bad for rims that you cant get anymore

Also I talked to my bank and I'd be paying under $100 a month for that car, I checked it out more today and decided to get it. Of course it's way too soon to start another project at the shop but luckley jason has the room at his place. Vince if you have some free time this week I'm wondering if I shoot you some cash if you could grab it up for me. it's about a 10min drive away from jasons place. I'll give you a ring about it and such either later today or tomorrow.

Other than that I guess the BBQ thing is a go for the 15th of this month. I have to work but will be on by after 3pm. jason has a bbq but if others want to bring one as well that would be great. everyone should bring something if possible.

mr2greasemonkey · 10-03-2006, 08:55 PM

Hmm.....I guess they dont like you Vince....

I was thinking about adding a steering quickener to mine. Doesnt seem that hard, I think they have an adjustable one too.

d962r · 10-03-2006, 09:14 PM

I can do it tonight or tomarow... but I have to be home (tomarow) by 8pm.. have to get the kids by 8:30

Seth W · 10-04-2006, 01:18 AM

tomorrow would be great if thats cool with you, I think the girl is back by 4pm or so, so I think thay would work out great. I dont have your number, I'll see if zai has it tomorrow or you can call me at 503-239-6018 I still have to get everything going through my bank tomorrow but if plans change I'll let you know. again too thanks for going out of you way to help me out.

SE-RMR2 · 10-04-2006, 09:18 AM

hey i got word on Jon V6... but he wants to know if you will help him install his cams, vavle springs, and water pump.... in trade wanna do that

Seth W · 10-04-2006, 06:41 PM

well I got to waint for all my loan shit to go through so most likeily friday on would seem to be about the best.

I found out with jasons RX7 stuff that in order to have it pass emissions that all the birds nest has to go back in so long story short we should have everything back now to put it all back together. other than that not much new, the new grams lights look really good on the car

mr2greasemonkey · 10-04-2006, 08:43 PM

At best Jon's v-6 is a core engine. It'd have to be a good running engine with harness to be worth anything. That's a lot to ask for an engine i'd only pay $50 for,haha. Cams, valve springs and water pump are couple hundred bucks just in labor. I figured if they didnt need the engine they'd give it to me for $50 and we'd fix what was wrong with it and use it for the Beat the Heat car.

SE-RMR2 · 10-04-2006, 09:16 PM

i guess the motor ran before, but just ran very shitty and was smoking black smoke like crazy...

mr2greasemonkey · 10-05-2006, 09:35 PM

Kay peeps, dyno day has been scheduled for the 21'st of this month. So get yr shiet together, hehe. As before, $50 per car, you all know the drill. Same place in Oregon City, if any changes come up I'll post it here.

Seth W · 10-06-2006, 07:00 PM

hey leng didnt you know someone with a ka24 setup? I was thinking a 20v for the car origonally but the ka makes the same power, is a proven fit and parts are a lot easier to come by.if possible pre obd2 so 90-93 dohc I'd be interested in one with a 5spd and full harness if you or any of your buddies know of one let me know because I'd like to pick one up.

I wont be by the shop today but I'll make a apperance on the weekend. I REALLY have to studyfor my test at work or other wise my boss will kick my ass.
