I'm in the Gulf Shores/Orange Beach, AL area. So far I've drank one for half of the community on SM, and will get the rest of y'all taken care of very soon. I have a spare set of cables sitting right beside my car that I took off of the starter that I gave James the other day. Hopefully it is just a cable issue, but we will see.
Since I've been home, I have managed to swap out the negative battery cable. Give me a friggin cookie! That didn't help anything, and my lazy ass has been scared to go out in the heat to jack the car up again, and crawl under it to swap the positive cable and re-check the connection at the starter. Somebody needs to motivate me!

Today I pulled the automatic, put in the new clutch and W58, mounted the pedals, bled the system and test drove it, all without breaking a sweat though I did manage to give myself a black eye....GET MOTIVATED!

Scott, I have not mailed off your PS reservoir yet. I have been a little under the weather and busy. I'm supposed to be a work now but I woke up with the Fuck Its so I'll try to get if off to you today.
Slight progress!
I went home at lunch today, and got the car jacked up, and ready to go under tonight. It is raining like a sumbitch ever since, so if the car isn't in a major puddle tonight I can work on it. I know not much progress, but it's a start.
Well I just got off MY ass and got Jay a picture of the other line I need on the PS, so no big hurry.

Scott, where do you stand on your car right now? Ive been following along of course, but Im curious as to what you see as still needing to be done to be finished (well as finished as we ever are).

As I see it:
I just changed my wiring harness, and a lot of things seemed to be cleared up right away. Once I figure out why it already won't start with a key AGAIN, if it is as good as I thought, it will get tuned, and hopefully show me somewhere between 300-400HP. I also need to get my wideband installed, but I have it.
Then, I will have to still do my rear brakes
Paint - This is going to be a while as my side income that was funding this build has dried up.
So... Tune, Brakes, and Paint........and hopefully, I will be through for a little while. So, another $3500 or so!
After that, who knows what I'll do in the future, but I gotta start paying a little more attention to family.
Pete, you got a MK2? Damn, I guess I need to check in once in a while!! Cool!theWeezL;1062098 said:

Scott, do as Noah tells you!
Well I didn't have a puddle, but there was wet dirt where I had to lay, so I did nothing tonight. I'll definitely get under it this weekend. Tomorrow is out as I will be at the bank at lunch, and I have dinner plans with my parents and whole family.
Ken, Good that you could stop by. How's the car? I hope you are enjoying it a bit for the few months it can come out of hiding.

It is running great, putting on a few hundred miles a week. I think I need some spray to get out of the hole before I see what my 60' looks like on a time slip
Dyno in a couple weeks hopefully!

Havent had it long but I've already fallen in love with it.
Nice of you to grace us with your presence :sarcasm:
Pete is still a welcome member of the RED Supra group! It's not a 3E5, but he's a grandfather, so it's OK
