John - the waste gate came today. Looks real good! Let me know what the value is so I can get you up on the first post.


Also - someone donated some money with paypal, but left no message as to their SM name. I don't know who to give credit to....

Rich
Come on Guys lets make this CAR of the community happen.
Rich is one hell of a guy to take on this project for the family of SM.
Hell maybe all of us can pass Duane's Dyno sheet. :evil2:

Rich! :)

Are you going to be at the Ohio Supra's Meet?

You better be. I'd, first and foremost, like to meet you, and two, maybe try to find some parts that would be useable for "The Peoples Car". :D

Boost - Last night was the first time I have seen that meet. I would like to go, and will try to get down there on the weekend. My cell cell is 330-618-4844. Try me during that weekend. Look forward to meeting up.

Jake - thanks, I had noticed that right after posting. I have big fingers, and when I get to typing fast, all kinds of things go wrong.

Woo hoo for the ohio supras meet! haha.

Rich. Thompson is now open on saturdays for test and tune at 10am. Next month the wednesday night bracket racing opens and saturday is regular racing.

I think we should try and get the car together soon with just a basic setup just so people can see the "underdog" in action. It might help in getting people hyped about this. The Ohio supas meet would be a good place to unveil it, even if it's just a stock motor with an upgraded ct or something.

I may be coming to Kent this weekend...got anything to do yet? haha I've gotta run to summit and get some redline oil.

P.S. You need to go to the ohiosupras meet with/without underdog...because I said so. Check out the website for the details.

Boost- I will more than likely go, I am on that forum as well. Same username. It is about 5 hrs away.

Bryan - Call me when you get in town, I will be working on something this weekend. I might be putting a battery box, battery, plugs and wires in Underdog this weekend. I would like to take it to the track, just to shake her down before doing anything to the motor.

John - The radiator in the car is not very good, but it holds fluid. I think we should just keep it untill it becomes a problem, or we out grow it. It is going to be nice out this weekend here. Finally! So I will try to get her outside to take some decent pictures. I ordered the gaskets today for the HKS style wastegate that you sent.

Wow, she looks sexy!!!!

What kinda of suspensions in her? None at all? Cause its really low!

I think it has tein springs that had an inch cut off. not sure, I purchased the car this way.

She has a little rust around the rear wheel well, but not too bad. No real dents or pealing paint. Would be an easy paint job. I have a roll of moulding to replace the factory moulding. then i would paint over it also to be one solid color. BTW, this car has a super monitor too.

Im sorry Rich, Ive been lax in getting that water pump sent off. Ive been kinda focused on getting my motor back in. I wont forget.

...and underdog looks like a good start. I really wish I could just afford to come spend a few weeks workin on her. lol, I would work for room and board! ;)
