Rally Pat

Well, I really don't want to do it... but I want to start a new project. So here she is, my autocross MR2. 1987 Toyota MR2 NA 177,xxx NEW PRICE: $1200 .:The Good:. Shortened intake (Cone filter and AFM) Suspension Techniques Adjustable Front Sway Bar Twos-R-Us Reinforced Sway bar end links Speed Source Brake Master Cyl Brace (Front firewall flexes without it) New Alternator installed when I bought the car MSD Blaster 2 Coil Bosch Iridium +4 spark plugs New Brakes all around, NAPA rotors (MR2 Owners Club recommends them) front pads: Porterfield Carbon/Kevlar Autocross Pads rear pads: Duralast Auto Zone pads New water pump, put in about a month ago or so New Thermostat, done at the same time as the water pump Coolant flush also done with the above Oil changed 2 weeks ago, Royal Purple 10W-30 Tranny Filled with Penzoil Synchromesh 4 Yokohama AVS ES 100 Tires, purchased between the First and Second Autocross events this year, I ran one event on them. .:The Bad:. There is a lot of rust on the body, around the usual places Toyotas get rust (rear wheels, corners, places like that). The last guy that owned it tried his hand at body work and did a horrid job. There are some spots that were bondo'ed at one point, and just broke off. When I blew the water pump, I may have blown the head gasket. It is fairly straightforward and simple to replace on these motors, I just dont have the time to do it. Its driveable, though. http://richard.safier.com/OVR/DriverSchool2007/target77.html http://richard.safier.com/OVR/DriverSchool2007/target79.html http://richard.safier.com/OVR/PE12007w/target81.html http://richard.safier.com/OVR/PE12007w/target82.html http://richard.safier.com/OVR/May%2027%20PE3/target400.html http://richard.safier.com/OVR/May%2027%20PE3/target401.html http://richard.safier.com/OVR/May%2027%20PE3/target402.html

Here are some pictures of Ryan from the Trails autox event: http://richard.safier.com/OVR/pe6July22-2007/target592.html http://richard.safier.com/OVR/pe6July22-2007/target593.html http://richard.safier.com/OVR/pe6July22-2007/target594.html http://richard.safier.com/OVR/pe6July22-2007/target595.html

Just like the Drew Carey Green Screen Show. It was a great concept, unfortunately it was poorly executed and it was on UPN.

whoops.... i missed.

Where could she be? http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1747610

GTS's arent worth buying. You can build your own using a 240 chassis and some import parts. You can even build a GTR out of 240. I am told the bolt holes are there for the ATTESA system.

There is a guy here in town named Ryan. He has an FD with a stock LS1/T56 in it. He autocrosses it too, and he is ALL OVER THE PLACE! I rode with him when he first finished the swap. Light Japanese car + Insane Power-To-Weight + Torque = Fun Times. He is out at the QSL meets every once in a while.

heh same inmates who did their own version of the Algorithm March http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37917&highlight=algorithm

whats with the blue haze over everything? It makes looking at the pictures extremely hard.

Do rallys and autocrosses count? Wellsboro, PA: Susquehannock Trail Performance Rally Chillocothe, OH: Sunriser 400 Forest Rally OSU: Autocross, Monster Trucks, Tractor Pulls Cooper: Autocross Trails: NHRA, Autocross Mid Ohio: SCCA Road Racing, Indy, Speed World Challenge Indianapolis Motor Speedway: Indy, Formula 1 Daytona: My Minivan (Tour) ...cant remember any more

I went today with Pat. I wasnt even planning on going, but he called me up at work and said he had a pass. I was going to drive the semi-opposite direction to the auto cross at trails.

If that is the same one he is talking about, its a GTS, not a GTR. You could build your very own GTS for 1/6 the price of that one.

Ranger 4 Cyl + Trying to keep up with Bill = Pointless

I left you a message on your phone.

I want to cruise. Driving the ranger though, so keeping up may be an issue.

I suppose I do that too. I co-own the Camry in Sean's signature.

I dont think we have had one of these threads in a while, so tell us about your occupation or lack thereof. In the mornings I go to DeVry for Network and Communications Management, and in the afternoons I work at Northend Wrench on Indianola. After that I lurk on CR till I pass out.

Garrett Miller does shrooms......so does Condo I think....

You dont know the story of why I didnt buy the toyota. I am not going to elaborate here. And Martin, there seems to be one thing that you haven't picked up yet as a CR newbie. You have to shake off the haters, and tell them where to stick it sometimes.

have you tried running chkdsk on the hard drive?

This is Dave's truck, I just ended up buying this and not the Toyota. You must not have read the first post Martin, but this truck, if I even decide to do a 2.3 turbo swap, will be for going fast. If anything, I will lower it several inches. Remember, if I do any of this, it will be a while before I do it. And if I do do it, it wont be my daily anymore. I plan to run more boost, or even a different turbo, backed by a Megasquirt with the EEC-IV adapter.

Ok, lets get a few things straight. First off, I am a college student. A poor one. LS1's are out of the question. Second, the 2.3 turbo swap can be completed in a weekend. Third, I wont be doing this swap for a long time, and it just seems like a lot of you dont want to be spanked by a 4 cyl truck.

89 Ford Ranger XLT 5 Speed, seriously considering investing in a 2.3 turbo motor, and already have some leads on a few. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/MegamanEXE/07-12-07_1854.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/MegamanEXE/07-12-07_1853.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/MegamanEXE/07-12-07_1852.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/MegamanEXE/07-12-07_1851.jpg
