Did you miss a cylin..... OH wait a second... thats right....

 

Updates??

last time I talked to you is when I couln't make it up to help pull the motor and that was it??

 

Billy's been feverishly working on his new engine swap. He found a weedwacker with a bigger engine he's swapping in. 2 stroke FTW!

 

Progress is being made, my camera is at the Ojibwe Forest Rally right now so no pictures for a little bit. Things are being prepped, parts are being ordered and sponsors are coming aboard.

 

We got the motor and tranny pulled out today, with a little bit of help from 2 friends





The tranny is now on its way up to Nick Drakes house for a full rebuild!

The motor will hopefully be on its way out the shop tomorrow for its rebuild.

Now that we have that out of the way its time for more paint prep and hitting junk yards to find a new passenger side door.

 

Sweet! Venison at Billy's tonight!

 

The tranny got tore down last night... not great news. Looks like we will be starting off with a new tranny. Still waiting to hear if we can still use the case as a spare.

 

Busa engines on eBay for under $2500 with transmission attached. You could have the first chain-drive G2 car!

I got to hear a 1440cc stroker 'busa yesterday afternoon in the back of a Radical...sounded pissed!

At least its a geo, parts should be on the cheaper side... But you knew the tranny was almost gone right?? I remember you saying it had a shift problem before you picked it up... When are you guys gonna be at the shop this week?? I wanna stop by and see the progress....

 

For all the 3rd gear parts if i could get 25% off at the dealership were going to cost me $225. I can buy a nice tranny from a yard for $250. Hopefully there is a lot of parts that i can use when the next box goes south on us.

 

Damn!! whodathunkit?? geo parts expensive??

 

Geo syncros are double the cost of evo syncros... kinda lame
