Seth the person that can check it out lives in San Fran. If he says it looks good, I'll pay to have him take it to a shop to inspect it. If all good, I'll fly down and drive it back.

Go Ducks · 01-13-2006, 10:50 PM

Btw, what time are the slackers gonna be there tomorrow?

Seth W · 01-14-2006, 12:55 AM

yeah it's always those guys who dont talk smack who you got to watch out for. Again to zai and chris thanks for the helping hand on the rear bar tonight, it seem to make the back end feel more stable. Now all it needs is new front end links and some decent height springs and possible upper strut mount as well as bushings and tie rods and it should be back in tip top shape.

Lights are just a one time deal after 4 sets and 4 years I'm done with them for now. It a interesting idea but in practical terms it sucks, too many issues and not enough plus's to make it worth doing...but for me I'm stuck with them.

MR2Bliss · 01-14-2006, 06:05 AM

What time tomorrow im in town! I will give a call about 1!

I'm not really doing much other than studying for the radiographer stuff today so I'll try and swing on by the shop. I'd like to try and get the rear bar on the duce part duex but we'll see what happens.

Good work on the brace! How does it handle now? any better? You passenger side running light is out in the rear... that's a fix it ticket...

Yeah I know Seth.. I'm just harassing you about it... cause... well.. I can!

Seth W · 01-14-2006, 06:12 PM

hey no worries it's not even my car, I just work on it. It seems to handel better with the rear bar but it's hard to tell because of the endlinks up front which clunk all the time. I'm thinking it's those more than the upper strut mounts just on the way it feels....anyways with that its a thing of if you fix one thing then you need to fix 2 other things in order for the whole thing to work. Maybe it's part VW or something

White Rice · 01-14-2006, 07:25 PM

I dont think i can make it to the shop tonight. I am whipped. It sucks.

Seth Congratts on the head lights finally hehe. They look awesome

mr2greasemonkey · 01-14-2006, 08:51 PM

Hey, nice photo chop job on the headlights Seth....LOL. Nawww...J/K. Not bad at all, now you dont have an excuse to bug out in the evenings. Still have to get it deq'd though.

Clipsetuner · 01-15-2006, 06:46 PM

a new youngin, 77 Celica GT, I have no clue what I am gonna do on it all yet but start tearing apart.

So I have make a choice which might be a bad one, but gonna drop a v6 into the 96 celica, I am starting to read all v6 stickys and such and saving some money. I figure anyone can drop a 3s' but to have the only 94-99 body style with a v6. So any links would be apperacited.

Hey Zai, I was wondering if there is any time this week before friday that I might be able to get my car on the rack, and have you eye the front suspension... I think I might have some issues going on up front. I want to make sure it is ready for the Sunday meet and drive @ Jantzen Beach.

Thanks,

Paul

mr2greasemonkey · 01-17-2006, 09:52 PM

probably not on the rack, kinda got stacked up with cars this week, but we can jack it up and check it out if you'd like.

SE-RMR2 · 01-19-2006, 12:19 AM

Hey Zai, my bro has about $4,000 cash and wants to do a ST215 Caldina 3SGTE. So the motor is going to cost about $1,600, and he wants to know when you are free to talk about it? Maybe next saturday or the next one? I will be going back down to cali to pic up some stuff and stopping in SAC to pick up motors, see if you guys need anything from www.venus-auto.com. So then i Guess the question is 91' All-Trac turbo w/ 00'-0?' ST215 3S-GTE with the complete harness and ECU, can it be done and what will you charge him?

Also my bro-in law wants you to do his timing belt, and basic tune up on his 89' SC MK1, he wants to know what he should do while doing a timing belt? Also they both have xash ready to go so when teh projects are almost complete and you got rack space my bro will pay big.

mr2greasemonkey · 01-19-2006, 01:52 AM

As usual...call me and we'll see what I can do for you.

And Chris' car spanks, haha. Got to get a picture of our hood scoop on here, hehe.

Seth W · 01-19-2006, 08:06 AM

hey leng, do you still have those wheels you were going to sell to jason?

Hrm... My car spanks? Drifter1? Did you actually finally drive it?
Now you understand my lamentation... and why I say 1st gear is useless?

Seth W · 01-19-2006, 08:10 PM

I thought you said it was slow zai, what gives

? ha ha just busting you balls. I thought you only drove toyotas with a truck bed to them

Ok I'll be nice....Last time I was over at the shop I had mentioned to zai that I would like to see him get the car going, those who hang out at the shop enough knows that zai does a lot of things for free...basically no money to go to the car fund is the effect. I had told him that for his birth day that I'd throw $100 his way but only if he spent it on his car. Between the countless times of using his shop and tools as well as his knowlege this was the very least I could do, you guys know that just about no other shop would do this. It would be a nice thing to do if others did this as well, do what you can afford. I forget what day it is but sometime in march?

You should just buy him a car part or something. You know Zai, he'll probably spend it on hookers and coke.
