A month and a half is far too long to go without updating! I got the MR-2 fixed and back on the road. The supra is currently progressing pretty nicely. I likely have a buyer of sorts for the 7M which will help fund the rest of the project. The transmission adapter stuff came in, and I...

I look forward to finding out :). Mine won't be pretty or nice, probably, but I am convinced that all that I need is a rod and a place for the rod to pivot. I'm most likely wrong, as I often am, but this is how I learn :). I'll let you guys know how bad I fail when I get around to actually...

Cool, well, thanks for all the replies, I still think that all of the short throw shifters are ridiculously overpriced, but I guess I just need to try to fab one so I can see why they cost so much.

Vehicle Dynamics seems like the best option of places to put this post, don't hesitate to move it if it isn't in a fitting spot. While neck deep in my LS1 swap and brainstorming about the future, I was thinking about short throw shifters. I saw one at some point for well over $230, which for...

So, haven't done really anything on the swap recently, hopefully will get it going again here in a couple weeks. Still sidetracked with the MR-2.

Didn't make a whole lot of progress this weekend, most of the time was spent on my MR-2 and some friends' cars. Hopefully going to sell the tranny from the camaro this weekend for some funding!

I'll see what I can do! Haha, yeah. I will probably put a blower on my LSX if I do boost on it though, turbo setups look painful (i.e. IJ's.)

Nice, that sounds like a good idea. I bet one of the manufacturing engineers might be interested in that.

I think my supra has been sketchy every time that crusie came around. Hopefully It'll be working well next time around! That's cool, I was just curious. I think I just found out that I can use the water-jet and some 1/4 steel to fab my engine mount adapters here at the university I'm...

Welcome. Sounds fun, man. Is your 90 N/A a manual or automatic? Thanks, glad you're joining the party! Maybe when I get this going sometime, we'll meet up or something. Were you ever a part of the Texas Supra Club in Austin? Well, I figured out how multi-quoting works. It's not...

Good and bad news! The good: I just got a badass promotion at work. It came along with a nice 50% hour increase and 60% raise, so funding for this project may not be at a standstill after all. The position requires travelling, too, which will make for a total blast. I really want to...

Yeah, dude, that's what I was thinking. Sounds like a plan. I'm pretty excited to get started, but I have just been sidetracked with fixing my junker. Plus, money is already getting tight for this project, and the Camaro parts aren't selling as quickly as I expected. Haven't posted the rear...

I'm still using my R154, so I'm not too worried about it. Ordered the adapter stuff already.

Nice, thanks for the tidbit. I forgot my camera, so I'll have to post those pics up later this week. Totally didn't get to paint because the weather was awfully rainy. I got some of the body work done on the MR-Truck that I needed to, though.

Rockin, Ian. Thanks a billion. Update from Saturday: The camaro is out of the garage and the garage is organized again! Now, I need to pull the engine out of the supra and get started on the real part of the project. I have a few pics that will go up tonight if all goes well! Sunday...

Haha, nice. My pan looks the same, I think. Here's a pic:

I'll try to get one up tomorrow afternoon. The motor is like 15 miles away from where I live and work.

Is that any different than my 2000 F body pan? Looks the same shape.

picked up a cheap compressor and transported it in the bed of my truck.

Hah, well, that's one of those "I'll cross that bridge when I come to it" things for me. I'm trying to take this project one step at a time, I know a good deal about cars, but mostly, I'm just going to be winging this project. I feel silly not having really started, I've been preoccupied...
