I am interested in rebuilding / building my 91 E153 at the same time...
I want to do synchros.... swap gears... and put in an LSD... and see if we can swap 91 -> 93 + bellhousing

SE-RMR2 · 01-04-2006, 06:41 PM

Will get randy to come get it. he is not off this week due to teh holidays but on teh weekend for sure, and i may not be going to Wisconsin anymore.

mr2greasemonkey · 01-04-2006, 09:41 PM

So when we gonna get to come join the party Leng? haahaa. Chris wanted to know if you didnt get her home in time, heeeh.

So after talking things over with Vince, i'm moving to a more complex design for the underpanels, which has now been kinda benched while i try and get the exhaust done. I think I will prob be going to 15 inch steel rims due to the available tire sizes for now. Once i get wheels/tires then i can work on the body and underpanels to properly mate them up. Still trying to get the right ecu and harness, trying to save for it. STILL need a right side axle for James car, not in a hurry but would like it DRIVEABLE, sheesh.

For those of you that want to rebuild their transmission, you are looking at a 3 day schedule. I figure, start wednsday, so your car can sit on the rack , drop the trans out and tear it down, hopefully you'll have parts ahead of time, if anything breaks, then hopefully thursday you can order it and have it by friday. If everything falls together than it should be in and out in a day. Otherwise 3 days if you need parts. I would replace all the seals, synchros, bearings are optional. You'll need fluid and gasket sealer.

MR2Bliss · 01-05-2006, 04:58 AM

Zai its basically tune up time for me!!!!!!! I currently do not have enough time to deal with the car its basically driving me nutsso many problems! I got $500.00 and i need everything you can fix done! let me know what you can do.

Seth W · 01-05-2006, 06:38 PM

hey zai does you or steve or anyone have a set of 6 7mgte 440 injectors???? seems like those are the ones needed to go with the sc. Their are a few on e-bay right now but I'd like to see if their are any local to get and have rebuilt vs getting some from out of state.

I made some progress on my lights and got the outter lip glued in the other day. one popped out though because I forgot to rough up the lexan

but it's starting to look really slick...maybe I will have some lights this year. Oh yeah remind me to kick everyone in the nuts for me I think you and chris are safe.

I think were going to swing on by the shop today and see if we can use the floor to put in jasons rear sway bar and the duce part duex if their is space.

mr2greasemonkey · 01-05-2006, 09:40 PM

7mgte injectors....hmmm...i "may" have some, hehe. Just got a set of 7mge injectors from Dell yesterday also. Shop is currently full, projects and customer work. I need space, so the rest of you guys will have to just throw down to see who gets to do what, haha.

MR2Bliss · 01-06-2006, 06:17 AM

Zai when im back up in portland, can i schedule a date to get my car in so i can drive her again, i miss it and want to bring her down here to corvallis i have found some sweet twistys for her. the problem seems to be a stuck wastegate or major vaccum leak, idle is very very very low. let me know what you can do, heh its going to be wierd being a customer, but i know you do great work!!!!!! so i stick with the best, also there is a new guy in town or company with a dyno day near jantzen beach http://www.rrevmotorsports.com/ its on january 21st which is a saturday suppost to be a 1000 hp supra and free pop and pizza! i mean how can you turn that down! i will be up in portland that weekend i think i will check it out

SE-RMR2 · 01-06-2006, 07:23 PM

hey zai i got a customer for you, are ya interested?

mr2greasemonkey · 01-06-2006, 10:11 PM

Call me at work if anyone needs work done. That way I can schedule it along with projects.

Go Ducks · 01-06-2006, 11:20 PM

I'll be by tomorrow... 10:00? I don't want to show up and wait like 45 mins for you slackers.

SE-RMR2 · 01-07-2006, 03:52 PM

Will be by today around 1:30ish to 2pm

mr2greasemonkey · 01-08-2006, 04:31 AM

wells, it's 1:30 AM and we are putting the finishing touches on Chris' exhaust. Dang! Making use of all the spare exhausts, haha. Anyhow, we'll prob be around tomorrow after about 12:00 if anyone wants to come down to the shop.

SE-RMR2 · 01-08-2006, 05:00 AM

just drove by thought noone was there.

Crispin · 01-08-2006, 02:07 PM

Zai and I left at 5am... I am up... showered... throwing a load of laundry in... warming up the MR2 and heading the parts store..

02 Bung
Threaded 02 Sensor
1157 bulbs
100mph tape (lol)
and hood pins.

Then I just have to wire in a few switches.
Brake light switch
Clutch start switch
Headlight switch
Windshield wiper switch.
E-brake switch
Reverse switch

Boost gauge
Oil pressure gauge
Fuel level gauge

Well I found some tires in the size I need...
BF Goodrich drag radials (LOL)

Seth W · 01-08-2006, 07:22 PM

thats great to hear, I'm sure zai's happy

The lights are glued in the car and about 70% done now. I'll have to come on by one of these days and use the plasma cutter to cut out the back portion where molding is at in the frunk (lights hit their) other than that I just have to make everything tits then paint them/repaint the hood and do the cover and wireing. maybe by next week or so it wont be a lemon after dark anymore.

I'll try and swing on by tuesday or wendsday and get with you zai about those 7m injectors, let me know how much you want so I can pick them up and get them rebuilt. From the sounds of it the fuel pump and FPR can handel the 440's with no problem.

bentheswift · 01-09-2006, 01:31 PM

Hey guys. I have been pretty busy over the break. After thinking about it a lot, I've decided not to pursue the 5S project anymore for now. I think I would be better off with a project I can do in my back yard that doesn't have a lot of wiring involved. Instead I'm going to be looking out for a cheap used 4AGE (largeport or smallport, but not 20v or SC) that I will keep out back and rebuild/work on when I can during school. During the summer I'd like to take a few days off work and swap it in. It won't require much if any custom wiring, and I will be able to borrow a cherrypicker and do probably all the work myself, except for some machining. This will be alot cheaper than a custom swap and will be a good starting point for getting engine swapping experience. (my brother's RB20 swap is still not running after 6 months, because he jumped way in over his head)

So, just so you guys know, that's what's up with me for now. If there are any cheap 4A's for sale in portland, let me know! (email is wound3s@gmail.com) I am checking craigslist and what not. But I'd appreciate it if you guys would keep an eye out.

Thanks for your help anyways, guys.

CpuZapper · 01-09-2006, 02:33 PM

Wow that was one hell of a saturday night/sunday morning. I was there with Chris and Zai working on exhaust stuff. Sorry I had to bail on you guys, but I was having trouble staying awake (standing and sleeping). I stopped by around noon on sunday as well, but no one was home... I'll have to try and get a buddy to give me a ride by sometime. I can't wait to see this thing once it can... uh... turn... Had a great time working with you guys though! I forgot my jacket and sweater too. I'll try to get them soon, unless Chris or Xang wants to bring it by Jones Farm for me.

mr2greasemonkey · 01-09-2006, 09:42 PM

Oh, man, i'm tired. gotta quite doing the late night thing. Good job on the exhaust though. Pretty clean build, nice set-up, sounds good. Just have to get the rest of it done and streetable.

Go Ducks · 01-10-2006, 03:07 AM

Completely off the wall... but I'm thinking about it! PURE SEX!
