LOL!

That is the best rant I have seen in a long while... =) Haha! Did ya get er fixed at least?

As far as OE parts go, here is what I need:

-Main Studs
-Water Pump
-Oil Pump
-Timing Belt
-Shimless Buckets (once we get the block back and measured)
-Anything else you can think of... hehe!

I am going to delete the EGR system, and the charcoal canister. I figure that I am already in complete disregard for emissions, I might as well clean up my engine bay too.. =)

3 am, what a late night..................wells, got my exhaust pretty much done. Plannin to wrap it to keep the heat in the compartment down. 2 1/2 inch off of the manifolds, equal length, joins together into a y pipe then splits into two 26 in. race mufflers. Oh, yeah, now there's a rectangular hole in the rear, . Not gonna worry bout tips for the time being. Will have to figure out how to hang the mufflers then it'll be done. Whoopy! Got to put in some time on Findlay's car and SethW's car. Maybe some time late tonight i'll try and get my seat hardmounted and work on the harness bar. Just need to fab the last part of the radiator scoop and then i can drop in the new radiator and test for leaks. Need to figure out how to pin down my test hood this month. Should probably upgrade my suspension before Medford, nothin fancy, prob just some tokico 5-ways and pro-kit springs and maybe sway bars. Already got 5-ways on the rear. Need to get wheels/tires soon. Damned, where is that harness, dont the car gods have any pity!

I just took 39 photos of interior pieces I'll be selling, and I still have more to clean off and take pics of.

Looks like Chris will get my wheels.

Engine and tranny are still up for grabs.

Anyone have the hook up for wheels?

Wells, for those of you that missed the race. It was very good. Got to see some crashes, parts flying off cars, one engine fire, one cat fight, and be pit crew. We are gonna have to do this again!

So Lee's SRT-4 took a crap. Guess they should've left the boost alone, heh.

Both SethW's car are here, plus mine, and Findlay's and Pauls. Lots of work to do , sooo little time *sigh*. Did i mention i miss my car, haha.

Think I may have a hook up for wheels. I'll have to see, and you have to know what you're looking for.

Sinster: Kools, let us know when you arrive. I'm sure these guys would love to shuffle the shop bietch order, haha.

Sounds like a good time along the lines of the Winterhawks.... you don't go for the hockey you go for the fights. Shame I missed that, I was too busy taking a class for work this weekend and getting yet another sinus infection.

What happened to Lee's SRT? Took a crap has many meanings... anything specific?

As far as wheels I definately have some in mind and fairly narrowed down. So let me know if you do.

We should get a hook up list going or something.

Well I think the 22RTE head gasket went...

Looking at the symptoms, I would say the head vapor locked at some point and blew a hole from the water -> oil side.

Next we hope the head and block didn't warp.

Hey Zai... for the 25th time... "I think the engine needs to sit lower in the car"

Damn it Zai... my head still hurts from getting whacked in the head with that tranny.

Got the tires ordered last night.

I think my front's on the 95 have more tread then your rears. do you want me to arrange to get my old fronts swapped onto your rear wheels?

Today = No
Tomorrow = Not Good
Saturday = Probably

I might be able to drop by tomorrow night if I go drag racing, before I hit the track.

==============
On another note... I calculated the Corolla's top speed.
5th gear, 5,000 RPM... 104 mph..

granted.. I guess it's more a drift / auto-x /short track car...
