Well that really won't help your clutch out Seth. *LOL* But it is nice...

Have your bro stop by the shop so we can work out a deal...

I think I said 350 for the shortblock + head + parts off my spare motors to complete it as needed.

For a list:
New pistons +1mm
New rings
New bearings
Main line honed
Bored +1 mm
Crank ground to fit mainline hone.
0 decked block

All in all if memory serves I have about 650-700$ into just the short block.

So I guess lets work it like this if you guys want the tranny too, come out to my house, pick up the short block + head + engine /w tranny attached, we will call it good at 400$ and that should get you most of the parts you need to reassemble the engine (You'll need the gasket kit and other non-reusable stuff but everything else should swap over.) And then just return whatever you don't need / use.

Sound like a plan? Send me a PM here or call me or something.

Seth W · 12-27-2005, 06:16 PM

yeah I dont think the clutch is going to like that...but it's too good to pass up.
I think were going to the shop today anyways, we got those tabs for the front sway bar today so we can slap that in at the very least. I'll make sure to mention that to him.

Also for anyone else, does anyone have a turbo tranny? a buddy from my old shop is looking for a solara tranny if possible but anything 91T+ would work.

CpuZapper · 12-27-2005, 06:21 PM

Hey hey hey... I found the thread! Just thought I'd check in. Stopped by the shop xmas eve, and helped put some huge ass supra wheels on the 22rte corolla. Looks like a 4x4 now ^_^ Anyway, I'll try to swing by the shop tonight, but it won't be till after 7. Maybe I'll come by tomorrow. I dunno... my dad is coming up from CA, and I told him that I'd bring him by sometime. He's an old school air-cooled VW guy.

CpuZapper · 12-27-2005, 06:29 PM

I just thought of this... I really want to install my new mufflers, and whatnot. I need some 2 1/2" exhaust pipe (don't really need any bends, I'm ok with pie cuts) but I'd like to get this in soon. I'm not going to have time to go and get any today, but Zai, if you read this, can you somehow get me in touch with the exhaust shop over near where you work so I can go get some pipe? Also, anyone interested in helping me put it in?

Actually I think it's much closer to the RAV 4, but back to your quesiton.
The Crv and Rav 4 are too tall and SUVish. I think it would be easier to lift a CRX than it would be to squish a Rav as thin as I would like.
If it were up to me I would still take 2 or 3 inches off the top of the CRX.

Yeah I have a 91 Tranny that's from Craigs old car...

Seth W · 12-27-2005, 09:11 PM

humm I'll mention that to my buddy, if I remember right doesnt it have a big ass hole on the side of it?????

mr2greasemonkey · 12-27-2005, 09:29 PM

It's not a hole, it's for air cooling. Heh!

Summer, you should think about a Suzuki Samurai.

Soon as i get a chance to swing by John's shop during lunch this week i'll see what kind of scrap or deals i can get for us.

CpuZapper · 12-27-2005, 09:44 PM

Hey Zai, any idea how late you guys are going to be at the shop tonight?

mr2greasemonkey · 12-27-2005, 10:13 PM

We are generally here till 9-10 pm. unless we get carried away then sometimes i realise at 2 am i have to be AT WORK IN THE FRIGGIN MORNING

No, Zai replaced the case that was busted when he traded it to me for the beater.

Seth W · 12-28-2005, 06:39 PM

any idea on a price, he's looking for one with a LSD but that can always be added to it. I dont know if it's a for sure thing or not but I told him I'd keep a eye out for one.

NA trannies go for 50-75$ so I wouldn't feel bad asking 125$ for a 91 non-lsd turbo tranny.

Sorry I didn't get a chance to talk to your bro last night about the engine/tranny... I PM'd you my number have him call me up.

Seth W · 12-29-2005, 09:33 AM

wow I thought it was a little more than that, so other than the newish case it's all un touched? I could probibly get 150-175 for it, I dont really care about making a buck on it. I'll let you know whats up

Seth W · 12-29-2005, 03:50 PM

hey zai happy quanza...I was looking in my basement and remembered that we have a bench grinder thats been sitting for 1 or 2 years. I think it works, it's yours if you want. Next time I swing on by I'll try and bring it.

mr2greasemonkey · 12-29-2005, 09:51 PM

hey, more tools! anything you want to donate is appreciated.

Making great progress on Chris' car. Gonna try and make it driveable before this year is over, haha. Good thing it's raining, less traction means we wont have to worry bout busting U-joints, haha.

Anyone running a turbo brake master/booster? I need to take measurements for the front brace.

Well whatever...

Not looking to jack people over or get jacked myself...

BUY THE ENGINE! *LOL* that's more stuff I need gone.

White Rice · 12-30-2005, 04:27 PM

Hey Zai, remember when we put in my engine the stock temperature gauge never worked and it showed that the engine was cold all the time. Well today all of a sudden it showed it was in the normal range and it has never done that before. I only drove a mile or so to my house and checked the fluids and they were in the normal range and the engine didn’t seem that hot. What could it be? I don’t want to ruin my awesome engine. Should I be driving my car?

mr2greasemonkey · 12-30-2005, 09:56 PM

Sounds like yr coolant temp sender decided it wanted to work again, haha. Long as it doesnt overheat, then it's fine. Last time we tested it we suspected a bad sender.
