thanks, I dont feel 25 but I guess I am.

the plan on the 1st gen is kyb's and whiteline springs and sway bars. I'm thinking of getting one of those prothane bushing kit's for the car cus all the rubber bits are trash.

I think I'll hold off on the tranny thing this weekend, I should really do those lights. maybe no one should work on anything so that way I cant help out and I'll be forced to work on my stuff?

Crispin · 10-25-2005, 01:42 PM

Well I am hoping to have my springs shipping to me this week for the corolla...

Then I'll bust into a brake job, struts/springs...

probably sanding/painting a little tonight...maybe wire in and mount the gauges...

Wow awesome, Happy birthday Seth

nihilist · 10-25-2005, 02:46 PM

If i can get down to DIP I need to get a new o2 sensor but it's so damn far from where I work and live now :/

When it's cold i'm hearing a clicking? sound from the engine, think i might have an exaust leak as well.

Crispin · 10-25-2005, 03:13 PM

either that or a valve out of adjustment....

I am looking at picking up another car guys... I need /want it to be clean though body wise.... MK2... MK1... no MK3's yet... keep your ears/eyes open.

nihilist · 10-25-2005, 08:25 PM

On the Mr2NW mailing list this came through today:

from: halfbodyguy@hotmail.com
91T with a few mods (as some of you know). It needs a headgasket I believe. (still runs)
and a couple other not as major things.

I will sell it to the first taker for $1500

SE-RMR2 · 10-25-2005, 08:47 PM

my bro inlaw just picked up a MK1 Supercharged for $2480. And happy B-day to seth mobile

mr2greasemonkey · 10-25-2005, 08:52 PM

Alright, guess i should get crackin on trying to figure out how to boost yr 4a vince.

I think 235's are too wide for the front with that offset.

Is it really Seth's B-day? Dang, guess we should pitch in and get him some headlights, haha.

Winter is here, and the projects are starting to stack up. So i hope everyone can make time to pitch in so we can get everyone's cars done by spring.

White Rice · 10-25-2005, 11:09 PM

hey happy birthday Seth

Seth W · 10-26-2005, 02:07 AM

thanks I got my self some racing shoes for my b-day...other than the light thing I couldent think of anything else to get. I want to get back into the saltwater fish thing but thats crazy expensive. here are the shoes http://www.piloti.com/products/produ...rod_sku=PRO5-3 they look neat and their fire proof to boot.

yeah 235's are a little too wide for the front but just get some 205's or 215 to replace them with, that way when you burn through you set of rears you'll allready have a new set. I generally go through 2-3 sets of rears for every 1 set of fronts.

That 91t would be interesting to take a look at but at 1500 though it's kind of sketchey, then again the duce part deux was $250. as long as it doesnt take a crap load to fix I'd get it

SE-RMR2 · 10-26-2005, 12:12 PM

SOME ONE BUY MY SE-R FOR $1000 BUCKS. NEED TO SELL IT. ASAP

SE-RMR2 · 10-26-2005, 06:24 PM

mr2greasemonkey · 10-26-2005, 09:12 PM

And why would anyone want a nissan? Haha.

Got you hooked on the mr2's eh? Haha.

NO MORE PROJECTS.................till we get the current ones done. Sheesh.

Seth W · 10-27-2005, 02:20 AM

lang, you so crazy

speaking of projects I really need to do my tranny so if zai doesnt have anything going on I'd really like to get on the rack and pull my tranny apart. The lights can waint because I got the 1st gen now, besides what a few more weeks when it's been like 4 years.

SE-RMR2 · 10-27-2005, 02:42 AM

I know, I know but shit guys its cheap. and i am looking at a NX2000. need to sell pass the word around.

Quit spelling my name wrong (SATH W. <hahaha>)

White Rice · 10-27-2005, 12:49 PM

Hey Seth tell me when you are going to rebuild your tranny i would like to help out because i need to do the same thing

Crispin · 10-27-2005, 01:38 PM

Hey Seth I have 2 more trannies that need a rebuild... (lol)

Oh hey I was reading on Brad Bedell's site.. and it sounded as though the 91-92 E153 bell housing is different then the 93+ I'd suggest we call up glen and get a price on a 93+ bell housing (I am guessing ~250$) but you go from a 1/2 moon of bolts from engine->tranny to all of them I believe. I might make this upgrade on my 91 tranny. just to check it out.

I mean as long as you are yanking your tranny out, I thought I would mention it as a possible upgrade.

In other news, project "Whoop the Monkey Master's @$$":
Starter installed
Ignition switch wired (I think) (have the fire extinguisher ready!)

Left to do:
Gauge install
Dash board
Splice in rear harness
MK1 Radiator filler.
Radiator overflow catch can
Dry Cell battery
Battery plate/tie down
Mount radiator
Mount Radiator fan
Wire in headlights (might just leave them permanently "up" for now)
Weld in fuel cell
Run Fuel lines
Wire fuel puimp
Fuel filter
Wire in Sunroof controls
Seal trunk
Pin Trunk
Pin Hood

I'm also not in the area, but would love to come to the shop one day. It's very generous to offer pretty much everything you got to the community.
What a sincere way to welcome newcomers. This is definately a great way to make friends with the same passion!
