Alright club, I know it's summertime in the United States and a lot of you may be getting your hands dirty working on your projects in the garage instead of sitting behind the PC. <br>Take a moment though and post a status on what's up and if there's a hangup your trying to get over or a particular part you may be in need of that's stalling your project. Maybe there's someone out there that can find the part for you!<br>Go Celicas!!!<br>El.

OK, I'll byte.... I mean bite. I'm probably sitting behind my PC too much as I am studying to get my A+ certification -- which takes presidence over things like working on my hobby car.<br><br>I will state though that I am having to put some of my study time off to finish building my engine -- 'cause of changing abodes. Its easier to push forward on building the engine and moving it as a unit, verses moving boxes and boxes of parts and having to bring some of these parts back and forth to/from the area I'm currently at -- don't ask, its more info than you want to know and it gets confusing.<br><br>With biting at GoRetro's charge of making statement about our projects, please coment on this..... My plan with my car is to make a rig that has better than stock get-up-and-go and is more fuel efficent. I'm not interested in making a high-tech racing machine. My plans at present for improving the performance and efficency are the 40-over ground cyllinders, getting a Webber down or Mukuni side, and working over the exhaust including a headder. I was originally thinking of including a stage 1 or 2 cam and a performance ignition, and having the applicable engine parts ballanced...... right now I'm told by a mechanic buddy that I don't need to go w/ the cam, ignition or ballancing which will help to keep the over all cost of my project down, as I so wish to do.<br><br>Whats the thought on this -- to ballance or not to ballance? I'm told that there isn't really much that can be done or to worry about w/ my 20R. I also understand that the stock ignitions were pretty good.... but between the stock ignition and cam, should I go w/ those or for what I'm looking to do w/ my project, would you folks suggest that I would be happier w/ them? At very least, I know that I can always add them later -- even if it is just to amuse myself w/ added tricks & toys to my car -- since they are bolt on parts.

its winter here and damn cold! as far as the MA45 gos all it needs in money that i dont have at the moment and if someone has a spare of that ill gladly except donations :)<br><br>Allan
