OK, who's the guy on here who gave me the name of MOSLER UPHOLSTERY for top replacement (silver 2nd gen)? Did you actually get your top replaced? Just curious how/if it turned out...
Mine has gotten SO BAD. I've taken to putting the cover over the car pretty much every night just to keep the interior dry...

I'm down for a fudds meet sometime soon. Next weekend maybe? Anyone?

I just got the new tires mounted and balanced for my rx7, so now the only thing left to do is set the timing (which requires sanding rust off the e-shaft pulley so I can see the timing marks), and tune the MS. So we'll have another 7 at the meet finally, if there is one.

If you'd starting selling S5 TII megasquirts you would see more 7s at the meet. =P

Well guys, I guess I'll have to start coming back out to hang with you young whipper-snappers! I'm 50!

 

i think like jason said it's gonna be hard getting people together this time of year. but that said i'm down if a few of us are able to make it. finally got heat on the car. oh and i'm 72 years old.

 

I'll come if nothing else comes up. It's just right down the street .

 

Not quite 1/2century yet, not until V-day! I'd like to meet some 'older' guys w/car interests, Whipper-snapper, yep, thats me.

 

Fantastic, just let me know where and when.

 

So anyone else see the news about a new season of Knight Rider coming next year?



can see rest of pics and images here

 

Errr, I think I'll skip that

 

ick, i hate mustangs

 

Heh, I'm actually going to try to tie up the adapter board the week of Christmas, I took off that whole week.

Ken

 

awesome.

I have my TII project that I've been working on since last January that still isn't on the road. I bought a haltech for it originally but when I found out my engine was already blown I sold the haltech to get some money together for another engine.

Now I just need to learn not to buy engines "as is". The latest JDM import also has no compression on the rear rotor. I'm hoping to get it rebuilt before March. What kind of porting work I get done will depend on what computer I'll be running.

 

Why don't we just rebuild it?

 

I'm gonna be putting a clutch in in the "inherited" '90 GXL from my daughter, and it's been sitting for a while, so I might be able to look you all up over the holidays. A drive from DE will blow it out - it's been sitting for a month or so.

 

anyone wanna lend me 4 grand so i can actually afford the repair bill on my car?
bulk of cost is labor which im hoping he scrapes down some.

 

Did you blow yet another Supra engine?

 

ouch... what are you getting done for $4k??

 

You could buy two more Supras for that price.

 

that was cost of replacing both rear shocks, new clutch/pressureplate, new aluminum flywheel, cleaning up transmission from flywheel damage and replacing brake lines all for about 1500

then theres the 25+ hours of labor at 90 bucks

hes gonna work the numbers a bit as a military discount but its expensive.
all this work was to get it to pass state inspection. car runs SOOO nice right now.

 

that's the slowest working mechanic I've ever heard of...

 

most of the work is listed as 0.8 hours each, longes being fully rebuilding the transmission to clean out all the metal shavings from the clutch/flywheel at 6.8 hours.

i got a full breakdown in hand

 

Mechanics are flat-rate too... they get paid for what the job is rated, not how long it actually takes them to do the work.

Ken

 

yeah, I know, which is why I was confused as to how it came out to that high, but if he took apart the tranny I can almost see that.

 

1) Starting sometime late January, I'm going to start accepting paid mechanic work, if you need any :P I really need the cash.

2) Whens the next Fudds meet?
