i just got a line on a car locally. i have a friend that works @ tameron in hoover. they have a 92 prelude the will give away if you come get it. the interior is decent (sellable on ebay) with a few things missing, the body is in good shape as is the paint (that can be remedied), the engine is missing the radiator, egr vavle & a few other non-expensive things. it was not running when it was brought in & no one knows why. it was described to me as in good condition, just not running & missing a few things.

they also have an older civic & an accord. the both are missing numerous parts in the engine bay.

none of these cars have been race preped, so the mr2 might still be a better deal in the long run. just presenting options if that doesnt go through.

Thanks Bill good to know. There are two really big things that make the MR2 the top candidate in this here search and one very unattractive thing. 1. It has a cage. 2. Drew and his brother really know Toyotas. That's the good stuff. The bad stuff is I know Bill won't fit in the car and I'm not to sure I will. We shall see.

for me, the cage is the big thing. i doubt i am going to be able to drive reguardless of the car. i have no driving equipment, other than shoes, for the race (i have an open face helmut). it is possible i will be able to afford a race suit before the race, just not likely. but reguardless, i will donate space & time to the effort.

[dpeele95]

It might not be a bad idea to go ahead and get any of those cars. If someone has somewhere they can keep it that would be a good start to building our own Lemon for next year and beyond. If you can get all three then you have a lot of spares for one cause they are all honda's.

[Jedi1]

I'm looking at very creative ways to buy the needed safety gear. I'm also thinking if I have that stuff I could get back into instructing at track days and TT's. I really enjoyed that and this may be a good way to get back in the seat. This will also give me some motivation to get off me butt and train.

if i rearrange things, i probably could get 2 cars in & still have room to work on 1. this is in addition to my miata. my big question is, how are we going to dispose of the shells when we are done? i don't want 1 sitting there for the next 5 years. as long as we have a plan i can get my wife to go along with it.

[dpeele95]

If you can get your hands on a trailer you can take the shells to the scrapyard and make a little money off of it when we are done.

or we could turn em into 1/1 scale RC cars! I hear Brushless Motors with LiPo packs make UNLIMITED Horsepower and Torque these days!

Bill go to the LeMons website, they have a link on there for vendors who provide a whole package of driver safety equipment/suits for what folks say is a decent deal.

[dpeele95]

Here is a list of drivers who have shown interest or know they are going to drive.

1. Sean Yoder
2. Brian Peele
3. Drew Peele
4. Evan Waugh
5. Bill Fleet ( pending some testing)
6. Alan Branch

Is this correct? Or if any of these people can't do it let me know.

Oh yeah we need a team name.
