5 months to April. Can you get a working engine in the heap by then?

Make the car reliable and keep it out of the penalty box and we can finish top-5 easily.

[TAJRacing45]

The penalty box screwed us...getting penalized for getting hit not just once but twice killed us!
Just went to the 24hoursoflemons.com page and there has been some rule tweaking too.

[bam2002]

No Prob raceway is 11 hours away..
But I will have a pretty hectic June so not sure about that one. Tempting though..

[bam2002]

NEW rules.
We will have to put up a metal barrier between the gas fuiller tube / tank and the trunk. Since the trunk is open to the drivers area.

We also will need to put in a Master Kill switch.

Neck brace.

Took the LeMon out of mothballs this morning after 4+ months under a tarp.... Boy does it look rough! Stripped down the spare car for 2 front fenders, 2 doors, hood, and got it ready to be picked up by a scrap metal guy.
No suprise the LeMon didn't start but after swapping batteries with one from a boat it fired right up. We attempted to drive it a little but it wouldn't go into any gear. When the car was off I was able to put it into a gear but not when it was running. Oh well, I guess the fun start again!

[NismoZ]

dammit where's FL? they should add that one for Aug.

Sounds like your clutch hydraulics need work, TAJ. If it were a Miata, I'd say "clutch slave cylinder" without batting an eye... it's a likely suspect.

[omgwtfbbq!]

I'm a complete noob but I'm going to go ahead and second lorens guess at clutch slave cylinder.

[TAJRacing45]

Thanks Loren and OMGWTFBBQ!! We'll fill and bleed the slave cylinder this weekend and if that doesn't help we'll sawp it out and look for any seepage...

[LDadrenaline]

Barry you know if you need 2 drivers my dad and I are still willing to do it.

[bam2002]

LD yes I will keep you on the list. It appears that our old team will be running the April event. I may try to get 2nd car built for the Sept event.

Eurotrash team..

I have started a new post on our team site..

Putting another old fuel pump in the sentra this weekend, then need to get the cage done, then the SE-R lemon will be about ready for testing.. I need to find cheap suspension though, this stock suspension is going to suck.. no where near budget limuit yet though.

Ebay is your friend. That and a BFH. And a hack saw. And a welder.
