Crap... I've been seriously thinking about just paying off my car and buying one of these, or maybe an old muscle car :oops:

[kev]

Do it Eric!

I don't have room for a 4th car. Julie would kill me hehe.

[The B]

SR20!!

I miss mine!

If I only had $3300 to drop :cry:

[wgnths]

i think he'll take less......i dont have any room for it either. :( my 94 se-r was the best driving car i've owned.

[moxie]

If I had the money I would pick it up.

That would be a great AutoX Beater...

[wgnths]

duh! already has enough power, awesome limited slip, nice clutch...if i hadnt bought the r6 i would buy it and make room!

[The B]

You could just sell that POS Sil80 to me, and then you could get the SE-R, no problem!!

[wgnths]

bring $10k and you can have it. :)

[moxie]

I knows I wouldn't complain too much... stupid ball joints...

[DangerViking]

stoopid ball joints
on the upside, I found my sledge, so we're ready for another whack at it :)

[wgnths]

f ball joints :x

[kev]

f ball joint boots...i just use a pickel fork aka ball joint separator.

Grease it up really really good, and sometimes you won't split the ball joint boot. If you do split it, energy suspension makes replacement ones (but it aint easy to find the right one).

I had a box full of the bastards for my se-r. I think I only have 2 left. I went through quite a few of them in my tranny work a couple of weeks ago.

[wgnths]

we're using a pickle fork!! i have complete replacement control arms with new ball joints already on them..we cant seperate the old one to get the arm off!

[yepee]

dont forget about your bushings :?:

[moxie]

kev: We were trying to use a household hammer... that no worky...

15lb sledge = disconnection me thinks


And about those bushings... Anyone know a good machine shop to do pressings...

[yepee]

if you have a vise and some sockets... do it yourself
I've heard if you freeze the new bushings and a little lube, they should go in pretty easy. I have not tested the freezing theory so :?: I have used the vise route and it does work, can be a pita though, maybe I should've bolted the vise down huh... oh well... next time :)

[moxie]

Well, we will have 3 guys who are good at breaking shit...
Who needs a bolted down vise!

Hmm... anyone have a vise we can borrow :)

[yepee]

wellll sheeet... I can break stuff with the best of em :oops:

Shoot... if you want a 9and3 track car... I have a AE86 waiting to be turned into a track car... Originally planned for it to be a drifter, but can set it up for autoX... All I ask is help turning wrenches and sourcing parts.

[DangerViking]

turning wrenches we can do :) as long as Erin's around to give me more traction :P

[moxie]

ummmm... hell yeah!!!

Lets get the bish rollin!

P.S. Erin... 240s can AutoX too /wink

[pickinicholas]

Well, lets get to it! :twisted:

[kev]

How much work does your car need?

[wgnths]

yeah lets hear some info on the hatchi!!! i looked for one when i picked up the 240 but there was nada out there at the time...at least nothing worth putting money into. got any pics?

[pickinicholas]

Needs some work to say the least... to get it running I need to get either a new gas tank or a fuel cell and run braided lines to the engine. I also need to source out fuel injector clips for a 4AG. Then the car will be running. Once running I need to find as newer GTS rear axle (the previous owner swapped it with a SR5 rear axle, so no LSD yet) once I get the GTS rear axle I can start on the suspention. The car isn't too pretty, but I wanted to primer it and keep it primered for a while (incase I kiss a wall or rail racing it) I'll also need to find 2 new front seats.

I'll try to get pictures of the car beginning of next week.

[wgnths]

yeah primer is good and easy.....i have a summit racing seat(never used)with brackets and slider. i might be able to get my hands back on my sparco bucket i sold to a buddy cause i dont think he's gonna use it.

[moxie]

I have some SE-R Floor mats... :)

And I can turn a wrench...

[The B]

fock ya!! AE86's rule all...

[wgnths]

nice dorifto markup :roll: chrome niches :lol:

[pickinicholas]

Those are some UGLY wheels on that car. Mine aren't much better though. I'll have pictures soon, just need to snap them and host them somewhere.

[DangerViking]

Damn... anybody got a flatbed and a place to put this? :P

would take a little TLC... but man could that be fun :P

[pickinicholas]

I got me some pictures, just need to size them

[pickinicholas]

It's in some rough condition, but what better of a car to make into a track car... I don't have to worry about messing up the paint! Well here she is.

lol that's sweet :) but yeah, for a track car, it ain't gotta be pretty, just functional. doesn't sound like it'd need a *huge* amount of work to get it up and going, could be fun :)

That's what I was thinking! And it doesn't have a title, so I'd either have to file for an abandoned title or trailer this car all the time.

[wgnths]

oh yeah thats ugly! perfect track car though with some work....

[DangerViking]

some good infoz I found:
http://www.club4ag.com/technical_main.htm
http://www.billzilla.org/4agmods.htm

looks like there's a *lot* that can be done to it :)

[pickinicholas]

Yeah, I'm on Club4ag... That other page was interesting... and I do have a guy that can build a complete turbo system for a price... I really just want it running right now, then get comfortable with the car... THEN add a ton more power. :)

[wgnths]

nice thing about that car for track is its super light....so gut it first, get it running and have a decent suspension and the car will be lots of fun. they dont need much power to start. lets swap my spec v motor/tranny into that beotch!

[DangerViking]

yeah, getting it running would definately be the place to start :P
have you decided on the gas tank vs fuel cell? actually getting it into a running state shouldn't be terribly difficult labor-wise, though I know how it is trying to save up for parts :)

I can find a gas tank for about $185 (brand new) I don't know what fuel cells go for, but I know someone trying to sell one. I can pick that one up from him. Then I need a fuel pump and filter, I'll run braided lines to the engine, and the only other thing I'd need to get it to run is injector clips... the car runs if you prime it, the fuel holding system was just crap.

[DangerViking]

ahh, gotcha. Well, I'm sure we can find some time to help you out with it sometime if ya want :)

[pickinicholas]

Brian has seen the beast... What do you think Brian, is she do-able?

[kev]

lets swap my spec v motor/tranny into that beotch!

But he want's the car to run first! lol

[wgnths]

running cars are overrated

[pickinicholas]

TOTALLY, I have 2 count 'em 2, non-runners... I R teh BESTEREST!

[The B]

1 wrecked car > 2 non-running "movable" cars.

[pickinicholas]

one has a flat... I still own you!

[pickinicholas]

This weekend I'll be in Utah, but lets try and do some work on it NEXT weekend... I want this bastard running soon! and stripped.

[wgnths]

im not comfortable stripping in front of you yet..... :oops:

[pickinicholas]

But we have gone through SO much together... ;)
