MMMmmmmmm.....RA21.......:yum: maybe when I sell Lucy I will buy another one of those and drop a 3S in it...or maybe a 1jz?

kyle you know that I know and feel your pain. I think JJ said it well, remember, you own the car, it does not own you. Like me I think its time to cut your losses. Whether that means sell now or find a way to fix it and sell it, or just fix it...is for you to decide. Either way, I know the...

I paid $120 for the head and block. And that included taking both apart (basically I gave them a seperated longblock)

wow thanks guys, those photos (while hard to see some of the detail) really helped. I was actually thinking that everyone had their blocks prepped like IJ's. So when I went to pick up the block today I was concerned that it wasnt smooth enough. The head looked very nice and was much closer to a...

Ok well, I saw my block at the machine shop today. I was not entirely sure that the block surface was ready for a Cometic MLS gasket (RA50). The machine shop owner swears its MHG ready but Im not convinced. Since Ive never seen a block that was supposedly prepped for a metal gasket, can someone...

Well like I said, its one I was looking at. Actually there is an Celica All-trac turbo for sale down here in Houston. The price is right and its in the right family...its a possibility. I doubt it will be around by the time I have money again though. But like you said, maybe when this is all...

^^^ ROFL!!! OMG, thanks for the good laugh Mike, I really needed that!

Im leaning towards a 3000GT VR4 but I have a couple other models that interest me. It really depends on how much I can get out of the red thing.

No question whatsoever...mk3 would be the last car I would consider buying if I had that kind of money.

This thread is officially dead. I'll post one last post when the car is on the road, followed by a for sale thread. Stay tuned if you want a good deal on a red turbo. :3d_frown:

motor and head come back from machine shop today. wee

Well, for those that didnt know already I made it to TX in time for TX2K7...but sadly was left with no transportation and no contacts in the area to get me out to any of the events. I spent the weekend instead pulling my motor and getting it stripped down for the machine shop. To be honest...

Looks like a nice spring day there in Corvallis, Im jeolous.

well, it sucks that I made it 2700 miles in time to make this event and never got to see a single supra! :cry: Im pretty disappointed...

I have been trying to get to the hotels or the events to join the fun but my new roomate has had to work all weekend and Im left without transportation. Anyone feel like picking my ass up and letting me tag along with them today or tomorrow? Im not far from the hotels, just a little south of...

no, wasnt me. I really didnt make a big connection with the PDX/SEA-Tac peoples. I really dont plan on staying in Houston all that long so I dont know about really getting into the crowd here, but when I finally reach the final destination (Austin) I will settle in real good there.

ok man. Im still figuring it all out down here. I only just turned in the rentals today. But I decided to go spend a few bucks. I went and got a new 6 drawer craftsman tool chest for the top of my roll away. Yesterday I ordered new injectors and cometic mhg. Im going to start pulling my motor...

I had a spare r154 strapped down on the back corner of the trailer and over the course of the trip it shifted a bit and was rubbing on the bottom corner of the bumper. It did a fair amount of damage but only in a little spot and its kind of hidden, no biggie. I knew it was doing it after only...

Im here. I am going to try to get Lucy drivable for the event, but if not I will still come hang out. Speaking of hanging out. Anyone know a machine shop in Houston that will do a rush job? Also where is everyone going to be? I cant seem to find a schedule of events and locations.

Well I made it here. I left Saturday afternoon at 1pm and arrived here at 7:30 today, and that included half a day in Albuquerque emptying my storage and having dinner with my (still) wife. She handed me divorce papers...yippe :3d_frown: So Lucy fared well, with only a little damage from the...
