SHE'S IN THE SHOP!!!1  I just dropped her off at the garage, they're gonna start work on wed.  I'm so excited to get her back.  Having a gutted interior is crazy...the turbo used to have this subtle hiss when boost hit, now it sounds like a jet taking off in the engine bay lol.  Pics this afternoon.

Where in WI are you?  I want to try a run on the strip isntead of messing around on the street all the time, I think I have a 14.9 car but you'll kick my ass with twice the boost.
EDIT: pics are up.

All the oil from sitting from a month w/ 6 blown oil seals

Also, I started my new job today! $7.80/hr...not bad for a 17 year old when minimum wage is $5.65.  Which means that this project will rapidly advance.  When I get my first check, I'm getting a STB and putting the battery in the trunk.  The next one I want Tokicos and a couple after that, I'll get Ground Controls.  After that I'll probably to the Galant brake upgrade, 205/50/15 UHP tires, a boost controller, PLX wideband, megasquirt, vj-11 w/ ext wg, FMIC, 3 in TBE, and RX-7 550s.  She should rip pretty good at that point, I'm aiming to have all of this done before Nov.

The dragstrip would probably be Union Grove (?).  On Hwy KR, a couple miles west of I94. KR is the road that seperates Kenosha and Racine counties.

Ran my Challenger there a few times, nice track!

And if that link Yuri left didn't help, take Green Bay Road North, Past the power plant, to Hwy 50.  Turn left. Appx 4-5 miles west will be I94, Go North to KR.  Head West!! From North Chicago, it's proabaly a half hour TOPS!!
When is the date for this little excursion?

I just looked at the site for Great Lakes, and April 5 and 6 are FREE.  IDK how busy it's gonna be, it could be very possible that we'd get only 1 or 2 runs with, it being opening weekend and no admission.

I'm SOOOO excited... I just got a call from the shop saying that they have all of the parts and the engine is out.  Very impressive since as of yesterday at 10'o'clock absolutely nothing has been done.  I'm going over tomorrow to spend 6.5 hours cleaning the bay/yanking a/c shit/filling the motor mounts and toher random stuff that's alot easier to do without an engine. Pics tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP, I might actually drive it again soon!!AHHHH

Yeah, they're great...They pulled the engine in less than half a day, they put up with my endless calls and let me go into the shop and spend the morning cleaningout the engine bay.  Everyone there is a car nut.  They only down side is the only aftermarket parts they'll install is a clutch.  I took out the AC compressor bracket and it weighs 15 pounds!!! In front of the front axles!! I was stoked, then I went to work and came back and filled my motor mounts.

Filled motor mount how-to:
Here's the stuff I used, 3M Windo Weld, $15.02 at Advance:
 
Virgin Mounts:
 
Masked off, I used duct tape because the amsking tape didn't stick
 
This is the front/bottom mount, this has the biggest voids, so I started here first
 
Blurry, sorry.  This is the passenger side mount, there weren't many void spots here so I just sort of went crazy, lol
 
both mounts filled and setting.
 
A few tips:  The urethane is ridiculously hard to get out of the bottle, I was squeezing the caulk gun with both hands.  You will get it all over your hands and it is almost impossible toget off.  I saoked my hands in simple green 3 times, washed with dish soap, washed with goop, washed with hand soap, dish soap again and simple green again and I still have it all over, tomorrow I'm going to try gas and wd-40; just be warned.
ANd for fun, my dad started to install a wb02 while I was at work:

Hey XR2! Is that really the way to do motor mounts? I've never heard of that. It's hard for me to believe that stuff will bond sufficiently to do any good for any length of time.  Gus.
