RE: Mr. Project

well it looks like it is coming along nice. What are you guys going to do to the car next time you work on it.

We also need to figure out what is going on when i pull the motor out of the supercharged car that is coming up this weekend.

THE PRESIDENT · see above

little update...i went out to the garage for a bit tonight.

I scraped some more sound deadening crap off of the interior. I found out why the car rolls so badly....the tires rub the shock bodies because they're so damn big. and then you can see my shop additions and the car cover i picked up from my dad.

thefastestcorneringcarhere · YOUR MOM

not to sound annoying but you didnt give me an answer about this weekend. Whats up man we need to figure this out. I dont want you guys to miss out on there parts.

THE PRESIDENT · see above

i thought we talked abt this when you were over. i guess we need to get our hands on a trailer. did you call lkq and see if we can just drop off the car on saturday? Jon's supposed to be coming up here on wed and friday. i'll see if he can bring the 4 runner up, but i dunno.

edit: i called lkq, they said they can take cars on saturday no prob

edit: i talked to jon and i think we might be getting a 14' uhaul and putting it in the back. he said he measured one for a saturn for a customer and it was no prob. we're going to need some help getting it in there, but a few guys should be able to do it no prob. I'm going to make the reservation for friday at like 4pm for 24hrs.

the garage is looking nice. i got a pile of scrap from travis today. its mostly stainless sheet, 16 gauge i think but theres also a few pieces of aluminum and some bent pieces. so we should be able to do some fabricating

i should be able to bring the 4runner up on friday if needed but i think the uhaul truck will work best since the car wont have any suspension. and jamin, 24 hrs on a friday, do you think thats possible?

THE PRESIDENT · see above

i forgot abt that no 24 hrs on a weekend thing, but thats what i made the reservation for. wasnt there a way around that anyway?

THE PRESIDENT · see above

i found some pics showing some of my thoughts for the roll bar. and then there's that really sick car to look at too

I like the hoop, the diagonal, and the seat supports. also, the mounting spot for the side impact deal is good, but ours would go down forward to the floor.

Here you can see the rear bars that go to the strut towers, and the lexan rear window with the cutouts and aluminum reenforcements.

and this is what we should be working towards

Viet · POOP Bum

wow that looks sick. i can't wait to get this car up and running.

A4seen Racer · VP

awesome where do you think those rear strut towers mount? its hard to tell in the picture

i think that style seat would be pretty easy to build. as long as someone can sew a cover

THE PRESIDENT · see above

it looks like they go to the strut tower about where it mounts up with the unibody.

i dont think sewing is that hard, we could probably get some industrial strength vinyl or something and sew it up. a nice stiff foam too.

THE PRESIDENT · see above

found this awesome electrical panel deal in this guy's 3sgte setup

"Engine managment system: Megasquirt on top, MJLJ on bottom. Intercooler sprayer on left is controlled by one of the MJLJ outputs."

this is his motor 226whp

and its all in this

found out those pink top injectors we have are 200cc/min

THE PRESIDENT · see above

heres the progress i made today. got the rear susp off. and i also knot wire brushed some more rust. later

thefastestcorneringcarhere · YOUR MOM

man you guys have that car apart. I cant wait to see the finshed product. I hope that you guys can give it a decent paint job besides flat black. That would be sweet. What are you guys going to do for like motor mods and such?

JAMIN- I need to talk to you to see what you want me to get to do my new exhaust, that is if you still want to do it.

Viet · POOP Bum

did a little research and found what axles we need exactly. We need the complete short s/c axle and a 1 turbo axle with the cv from the long s/c axle. I saw a few pictures and I think the automatice axles are the same as teh manual. plus in all the research I did nobody said that it has to be a manual s/c axle or not. oh and the turbo axle could be from either side.

so we pretty much have most of the axles except for the turbo one.

Viet · POOP Bum

i found that gagels has one for $35 on car-parts.com, but on their offical website its listed for $45. We should pick this up some time soon.

thefastestcorneringcarhere · YOUR MOM

bump, did you guys forget about this car. You know that it is still in your garage.

Viet · POOP Bum

nope it just ppl have their own little problems to dael with atm.

A4seen Racer · VP

im planning on coming up on saturday

we can do some then. what is next on the list?

THE PRESIDENT · see above

i think the first thing that needs to be done is going through the parts again. There's a bunch of crap in there we should just throw away. I'm going to make a new mr2oc post, some kind of clearance sale. I'll post up a few of the good things we have left for real cheap, then we can just throw away the rest of that junk.

we really dont have room to bring over the tranny and work very efficiently the way it is.

this wont take long, then we can work on getting the body done so we can start reassembling the car.

PHANtastic · Newbie

WoW amazing project car. Looks to be like toyota's version of the honda crx, just better; rear wheel drive, super light, meh kinda ugly but so is the crx :P
Has no progress been done to the car since the last update post??

PHANtastic · Newbie

OO also if you are looking for a T3 turbo, i have a 42/48 t3 airesearch turbo w/ internal wastegate, but the shaft doesnt spin to hot, but maybe you guys can crack it open and try to fix it.

THE PRESIDENT · see above

hopefully we'll be able to get some crap done this week since there's no school. I will probably order the poly bushing kit today or tomorrow so we can get the suspension back on.

any objections to me spending that $100 on it?

we could pick up the tranny any time.....but the problem is keeping it somewhere. we need to start putting this thing back together so it doesnt take up so much room....which means finishing the bodywork and paint.....

whos up for working on it this week?

THE PRESIDENT · see above

just an update....i think i sold the side scoop, and the sideskirts. and our for sale thread has 1,050+ views.....

THE PRESIDENT · see above

prothane complete urethane bushing kit ordered.......105 bucks.

should be here in 2-5 days.

A4seen Racer · VP

sweet. its about time we get some progress going. im definatley ready to get some work done this week.

i think we can at least get it rolling and possibly paint it over the break. of course that means that lazy bum viet will have to go

THE PRESIDENT · see above

no way, he wont show. i havent seen that kid in forever.

THE PRESIDENT · see above

well i got the control arms and hubs apart mostly today. We'll need to take them to get the old bushing pressed out, and the new ones pressed in. I should be able to do this over at the SAE shop.

Got the bushings in the mail today. They look nice.

oh and jon put the fenders and bumper on, and looks like he did some work on the c-pillar too. he did this yesterday after the beach when i was at work.

the car is coming along slowly. i hope to get more done this break.......

A4seen Racer · VP

you probably noticed the passenger fender isnt solid. thats because i broke the bottom bolt. we can just weld it or drill the rest of that bolt out. i put the black bumper on because it is lighter and i stripped the junk out of it to lighten it even more.

im probably gonna head out there saturday and work all day on it
