Let's use this thread to discuss cars and parts and shtuff like that, since everyone'sa already posted their car in the other thread. And I'm aware that people's tastes in cars differ, so let's try not to be hostile and stuff. I'll try too -.-

Fixed a coolant leak in my car today lol, then drove home and saw another MR2 turbo, in yellow, and a Lamborghini Gallardo lol. It was part of the Canadian Bullrun, so that's pretty cool lol. Pretty sweet :] oh and the MR2 is an absolute nightmare to fix. took 4 hours to fix a coolant leak, in a Honda would taken like, half an hour haha, maybe an hour. and i really, REALLY want a 1996 honda prelude Si or SiR or SRV, whatever has Vtec. Oh god, so sexy.

Saudi drifting is the stupidest and shittiest driving in the world. There's nothing cool about fishtailing your car on a straightaway. That and the fact that they suck at it.

hahah yep. I've had 3 coolant leaks. Heater hose x2: >45 mins to fix each time, including taking off the distributor. Main upper hose: Not even 15 mins with only a Swiss Army Knife. SHIT I need to change the oil.... I'm totally over due. Sorry to hear about the MR2 man. -

What's the difference between SOHC and DOHC? One has two and the other has one, I get that...but what does it mean in terms of practical use? I heard one is better for actual racing and one is better for daily use. (I don't know which one though, since I heard different things from different forums) What's the difference between an LSD and an open differential? And why do people use DA and DC and EK and EG and EJ to refer to Integras and Civics? Where do these names even come from? And how can people tell whether one engine is better than the other? Like a KA24DE and a KA24E? And what do turbochargers do? I thought "Turbo" was just a cool word that people used when a car is fast...

1)SOHC stands for Single OverHead Cam. DOHC stands for dual. This refers to the camshaft used to move the car. the pistons are attached to it. DOHC produces more power, since there are two camshafts powering the wheels, not just one. 2)Uhhh..I dunno. Alls I know is LSD is good. 3)These are referred to from the VIN. So if my VIN was 2HGFG1...., 2HG would represent where my car is made in. In this case, Canadia. FG refers to the type of car. In my case, thats an 2006+ Civic coupe. the 1 stands for what model. In this case, a non-EX. The rest of the numbers specify what model (EX, LX, DX..) and the interior trim, and identification purposes. Theyre just abbreviations, its simpler than 'WHOA LOOK AT THAT 2006-2010 CIVIC SI TWO DOOR!!!!' 4)It all varies with different models. Usually (if not all of the time) the number specifies the engine's liters (I dont know what other words to put it in). So for example, if we was comparing Nissan engines..(like you just did) RB26DETT is BETTER than an SR20DE. The first one is a twin turbo (TT) 2.6 liter engine from an R34 skyline. Its beefier and pushes out more power. An SR20DE Is a 2.0 liter Natrually Aspirated engine (no turbo/turbocharger), and is found in baseline model S15 Silvias and other Nissan sedan cars. 5)Turbos, turbochargers and cool overpriced JDM stickers that cost 50+dollars all add horsepower. Basically, think of a turbocharger as dried spices compared to fresh oregano. The dried spices are preserved and more potent. Same with turbos. It compresses your fuel/air ratio that goes into your car, so that it burns faster and produces more power. I sound like a smartass, chyeah. -

Yeah that's what I guessed. Also, what kind of parts would constitute a good drift car? I would imagine that speed isn't too important just for oversteering your e brake, though I'm probably wrong...also the fact that not all drifting relies on the e brake anyways.

:rofl: Oh man. I thought you were serious for a minute there. Drifting is completely your thing. Its completely based on the driver's preference. I also washed my car today. My rims fucking raped the toothbrush. Also managed to ding my door while opening it, and scratched the trunk lid whilest drying. fuck. -

The engine..lol..a car with a couple hundred thousand miles isnt even worth buying. The frame'll be weaker than a fucking twig, and there's bound to be tons of rust. There are no parts that will increase MPG/efficiency. You just have to maintain your car; changing oil at x,xxx miles, spark plugs, air filter..etc. CAI's..I dunno about those. I was thinking of getting one, just to free up room in my engine bay -

Didn't you once say replacement parts are cheap...? -
Date: Sun, Jun 12 2011 21:22:38
Honestly, if youre gonna buy a car with 200+ miles on it, its gonna be pretty cheap. It's not worth fixing up, cuz once it breaks down, the repairs are gonna cost more than the car itself. Just save your money and buy a decent car with decent to low mileage on it. I got my car for $3500 with only 100 miles on it. A decent first car would be something like a 1990's Civic, 94+ Integra, or a little Toyota. I'm sure you can find any of those cars with decent mileage on it for less than $5k on craigslist. Also, I took my gauges out a while ago to change the lightbulbs to blue, which failed, and when I put it back in, the speedo wasnt plugged in all the way. So I had to drive today not knowing how fast I was going lololol. Fixed it today though, and I've just ordered some LEDs for the cluster, gauges, whatever. It's gonna look sick at night =D Gonna change the colours in my DA too. And shifting without the shift boot is awesome lmao, it moves like butter, and although I still want a short shifter setup, it won't happen.

I found out that my car was only 4300. Thats right, four thousand three hundred US dollars. Why? Its been wrecked before. In Vancouver, BC. THATS RIGHT FUCKERS MY CIVIC IS FROM CANADIA. ANYWAY. Like I said, get yourself a car with a salvage title or a wrecked car. Your car is bound to be much MUCH cheaper. [QUOTE=XYZaki wrote: Didn't you once say replacement parts are cheap...?
And replacement parts are cheap, yes. Used, generic brand ones are. If you want shit from Honda/Toyota that's brand new..youre looking at 500% of the price. You think Im exaggerating? Im not. A fucking SCREW from Honda for the interior costs $2.50. And I was talking about the frame. You cant replace the frame. Technically, you can, but that's gonna be far more expensive than the car itself. lern2reserch -
Date: Mon, Jun 13 2011 04:31:45
The only bad part, which is a major part IMO, in buying a salvage car is that it is easier to total. Then you find youself carless once again =\
-
Date: Mon, Jun 13 2011 04:47:59
How is buying a car with a salvage title easier to total? Salvage title can result in anything from a tiny dent in your door to HOLYSHITWTFHAPPENED. As long as the frame is intact and not damaged asfuc, then you should be fine
-
Date: Mon, Jun 13 2011 04:57:00
Idk, I just got the impression that since it's a salvage and therefore cheaper, it takes less total. Like, if it cost you $2000, then any damages over $2000 will total your car. That's what I interpreted from my parents. That's why they were really against me getting a hella nice DC Integra, cuz it was a rebuild. Hell, my DA was totaled, but luckily my dad was able to keep it and repair it. Some sleepy dude in a huge Lexus turned into me, and damages to my car cost $2300. Correct me if I'm wrong, which I'm sure I am.
-
Date: Tue, Jun 14 2011 19:05:26
Well you cant really say that..its not like that. Im not rich, but money shouldnt matter when dealing with cars. I mean OBVIOUSLY you have to get a reasonable price..but damages will be damages, despite the cost. In the long run, are salvage titles really gonna get you far? Not really..but that's up to you. So let's put this into persepective. My Civic was 4300$. I believe the front end got hit (not entirely sure) and it cost 2000$ to fix it. THEN I got hit by that fucktard..and insurance wanted to replace EVERYTHING on the right side of the car. I mean everything. The wheel, tire, window, door, rear seats, trunk, bumper..you get my point. Totaled up to 2300$. Now, is it really 2300 dollars to fix it? Hell no. But you see what I mean? The car itself was 4300..and the repairs (coincidentally) totalled to up 4300 dollars. If you plan to sell your salvage title'd car..make sure you try to keep it on the down low. ALSO, DALTON, THIS IS WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-91-SW20-MR2-Turbo-Front-Bumper-Side-Marker-Lights-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem5ae0a199cbQQitemZ390315743691QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories#ht_3695wt_1165

The second one, nimrod. Why would I drive a car that has a stock engine, and has like 3000kg's of modifications done to it? I agree back in the Fast and Furious/2Fast2Furious days, that was the shit. But now, now that I'm growing up, I'd like to keep things simpler. The second car is easier to maintain, and looks a lot cleaner. Keep it classy, bitch. Plus the second one has a bigger engine anyway. K20a2>D16 EDIT: Also..LMFAO. That car is NOT tuned for racing, whatsoever. Do you SEE the engine? The MOST that engine could crank out is probably 200 hp if not less. If those two cars were to race, the newer Civic would prevail, not by a hair, but by a lot. Doesnt matter stick shift or not. -

Dude..I hate having to put down my seat and throw shit into the backseats. I keep my textbooks and backpack in the backseat. You have NO IDEA how cramped my car is, its worse than the MR2. With the mr2, you can throw shit in the backseats no problem, there's a little cap between the doorwell and the back of the seat. AS FOR MY CAR, you cant even stick your hand in the back without having to bend or do some yoga shit. Its terrible. The windshield is so fucking big, the engine bay is cramped, the dash is far too wide, and theres no room to put stuffed animals in the rear window :( Also, add a second gen TL to that list.
LOOK AT THIS.

That's not really rice, rice is painted hoods, huge wings, widebody kits, fart can exhausts, stickers, vinyls, decals and bright paint jobs. That TL just has some lips and skirts, rims, and springs. Although I don't really like the side skirts, too low.

Ricers do not know how to lower their cars. Also, legit cars do NOT have body kits. They have lips. Looks cleaner, and lips are more commonly offered by the dealer themselves. There's chrome rims out there, so what? Stance is everything. The wheels on the TL are tucked, not such a big fan, but its lowered as fuck, and lowered properly. No eGay brand springs, coilovers, the only way to go if youre gonna lower your car properly.
Go right ahead and tell me that's rice.
Chrome rims and potential to scrape! AND! Its automatic! A key component to rice.
Self explanitory.
as for the rant: Why the FUCK would you spend SO MUCH MONEY on your paint job, wheels, interior, shitty exhausts, and vinyls if you cant lower your car
If that car was lowered, it would look SO much better. Doesnt matter if its riced out or shit, lowered cars ALWAYS look better.
then again:
That exhaust is hidious.
Why the fuck is there a giant side scoop? Cars with that have a purpose, the engine is in the back and thus provides better cooling. This car's engine is in the FRONT. Thus providing more drag.
Gay ass non-functional mesh grilles on the underside of the rear bumper.

You tell him, fuck tha police. Btw, while we're on the subject of lowering cars, wtf is an offset? And why do the wheels in an offset appear to be slanted... -
Date: Thu, Jul 7 2011 03:42:50
I don't exactly know what offset is, but I think its like, where the mounting point is when you look at it from the front. Colin'll explain it better. On a second note, I went to my first MR2 car meet thing today. About 15-20 MR2s, which is apparently good. Some pics =D There's about 20, so be ready lol

http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/techpage.jsp?techid=101 the slantedness is called camber. pronouned came-bur. the reason they appear slanted is because it looks better. does it serve a purpose? yeah, it eats through your tire quicker and gives you less control of you car. -

Actually camber determines if ur car goes oversteer or understeer...
-
Date: Thu, Jul 7 2011 04:10:40
nope, camber is how your wheels sit. understeer and oversteer has many factors, camber may be one of them.

Cars do not come with wheels slanted. Negative camber is very minimal, if any, with stock cars. Well, think about it, its more logic than car stuff. If your tires are supporting ALL the weight of your car, surely ______ will support more weight than \ \ \ The reason being is your car is only being held up by the 1/4th's of the edge of the tire, its suffereing more friction and weight than the 0 cambered tires. @Van camber determines how your wheels sit, and at what angle. the reason you lose control with negative camber is because theres less surface area for your car to be controlled by -

He's got headers, air intake (I think he said K&N), and a strut bar. stock wheels, on adjustable coilovers. i forget the brand, but its German.

@Colin Lol, I have leather seats, cracking, and there is a tear in the driver side. I can take a pic for you if you want. I would get cloth JDM seats, but I'd rather spend that money making my leather seats looking new, since they're so damn comfy. The T-tops don't help with the cracking either, letting all that sun in xD xD. I just want some cheap pedals, Razo ones are fine. It's not really a turbo rebuild, more like a reconstruction. A turbo rebuild kit just has new gaskets, bolts, stuff like that. Just take apart the turbo, replace the gaskets and shit, and done. Unless this guy damaged his turbo, but I doubt it, it spools up fine and sounds like nothing is rubbing or shaking. And yeah, 94 brakes are bigger, and if I have some extra money lying around, I might even get slotted rotors lol. 20 year old cars don't stop as fast as new ones lol, my dad's 07 Civic can stop instantly lol. And I want new speakers cuz these stock ones suck shit. I'm not even playing my stuff loud, and the bass is tinny and cheap sounding. I'll just go to Best Buy and grab some Sonys or Alpines lol.

So here's the situation. Since my sister is going to be staying here for the next 5ish months while her husband does his rotations at USC, we're going to need a 3rd car. Since renting one would be irrational for that long of a period, I suggested to opt for a used car or even a cheap new car. My dad basically wants the car to be fuel efficient and so basically, in terms of new cars, it comes down to: Civic, Elantra, Corolla, and a Lancer (olololollo). I was delighted to find out that manual transmission is cheaper, but my dad said no because he wants it to be a car that everyone can drive :( But my dad is pretty okay with buying it a couple years older and used at 1/2 the price so at least some rationale exists. Any suggestions? At this point, if you haven't guessed, despite the fact that this car will discreetly and inevitably end up becoming mine, attempts at suggesting a <99 240SX/Project car/Integra/Civc are futile...though maybe not the last two...(2001 Integra get?)

Meh..is an EX or DX/LX? Look for the trunk. There shouldnt be a keyhole in there. If there is, you got ripped off man. the EX is superior over the DX/LX. The EX is pretty much the best non-SI civic out there for the years 2006-current -

I can switch to partial stick or to auto whenever I want) •Smaller, not as big as a sedan •Probably leather.. :( HELP ME CHOOSE. AND ELABOURATE ON YOUR ANSWERS

Talk about comparing apples to oranges man =P Accord. Technically you'd still have a sequential shifter since you can force a down shift with the shifter, but watch out I over did that in my civic and thats why I now have tranny problems =( Personally, I just don't like: Coupes, 4 doors or more. Leather, it stinks in the heat and sticks to you and as it its older it looks uglier. Why not a TSX? K24 has ~20lb more torque =) Wait Type S or base?

The lug patterns on the three cars are all 5x114.3 anyway. I was thinking something along Rota..cause theyre cheap, and does the job. If you didnt know, Rota is the Hong Kong of rims; they make duplicates of other companies.

Springs, all the way. The two MOST important things to do when you get your car; get HIDs (for visability, and looks better on your car) , and lower your car (handles much better, less 'giddy up' type of shit when you hard accelerate, and looks better). You can always get some decent speakers at Best Buy or something. Or go balls out and get some JDM OEM MR2 speakers :p -

Hmm, so springs, tails, speakers? Or get the tails last? I'll probably start shopping around for the Eibachs in August then, and then put them on in September, depending on shipping.

Speakers and tails..that's really a tough decision. If the speakers bother you that much, get some cheap, decent ones and install em during the winter or something, so you have something to do on your car. The tails arent necessary, its just a large load of money for only asthetics. You wont see the speakers but you'll hear em.I'll probably start shopping around for the Eibachs in August then, and then put them on in September, depending on shipping.

If youre gonna do it..see if you can stock up on OEM struts for your car; if you abuse or go on too many bumpy roads, your stock shocks may not be able to handle the adjusted spring rate. Or get coilovers, thats the way to do!AND SHOULD I STICK A HUGE FUCKING WOOFER OR SOMETHING IN THE TRUNK? LOL

MPG isn't as important since I explained to my dad how it's a big marketing gimmick. Is Honda Civic our only option? I'm trying to convince my dad to get a used BMW E36 but he's really resistant towards BMWs because according to him, servicing them costs a lot because the parts are expensive because it's an imported car... (? anyone want to verify ?) Also, my dad wants to go to the enterprise dealership (where they sell their old rental cars) just to look around, what should I be looking for to make sure we get the best deal?

Uhhh, yeah, BMWs are a pain in the ass to maintain and expensive to fix. But fuck, 2-3 years old is tough lol. Civic, Fit or even a CRV for Hondas are all I can think of, really. Maybe an Accord? But then again, I'm rather a Honda head, with a love for my little Toyota, so I don't really know much outside of those lol.

Umm..wow, 15k is a really big budget.Is Honda Civic our only option?
Honestly? Yeah. It fits ALL of your 'requirements' and its probably the best pick of em. Shop around Hondas, Toyotas are becoming less and less reliable, and a lot harder/tedious to fix.I'm trying to convince my dad to get a used BMW E36 but he's really resistant towards BMWs because according to him, servicing them costs a lot because the parts are expensive because it's an imported car...

You stupid man? Just to replace the fucking battery might cost you like 300 dollars or some shit. Your AC broke? That's another like 700 dollars coming out of your pocket. BMW's look nice, but are simple NOT worth the hassle.Also, my dad wants to go to the enterprise dealership (where they sell their old rental cars)
No. Man, do you KNOW how abusive people get with rental cars? Not worth the money, even if its cheap. Youll just spend more money fixing it up.what should I be looking for to make sure we get the best deal?
Do your research. Go to the dealer probably a day ahead of time just to glance around, or call them up and see what cars they have for sale. do your research, learn the pricing values, check the interior, milage and condition of the body.I heard car salesman are really abrasive...how2outsmart?
Theyre basically Billy Mays (Rest in peace :( ) of the car dealership. They can say ALL this stuff "YEAH! It gets GREAT MPG, its good for the family! Saves you lots of moiney! Roomy! Goes FAST, big engine!" Theyre pretty much gonna say one of the above, dont fall for it. Whether it gets good gas milage, youre never gonna know until you drive it. Theyve never driven the cars, just remember that. -

BMW's do have ridiculously high service costs, any German luxury car will, I've heard of $400 spark plugs. Your requirements for this car are kind of strict, you're going to be looking at Hondas or Toyotas for sure but you might want to check out something like a Nissan Altima, a friend of mine has one and for a DD it's a great car. Honestly you can just search up anything, I searched up just an Accord at $15k max and it looks like the 08's are going for it. http://www.cars.com/for-sale/searchresults.action?stkTyp=U&tracktype=usedcc&mkId=20017&AmbMkId=20017&AmbMkNm=Honda&make=Honda&AmbMdNm=Accord&model=Accord&mdId=20606&AmbMdId=20606&prMx=15000&rd=50&zc=92626&searchSource=QUICK_FORM&enableSeo=1 I also searched with the Costa Mesa Zip cause you're in OC.

Are you? Let's play GT5 together :3 Anyways, update...ma daddy and i wento the enterpris dillaship today. It was meh, we just looked around. They were selling an LX civic for 21k. Lolwut. I was aware beforehand that people treat rental cars like crap and I tried to bring it to my dad's attention but he said how he liked how their cars are certified, whereas with a used car, you'd have to take the sellers word for it. .__. Oh also, my dad said a 2 door is fine. But <50k miles is still a requirement. And what are the practical differences between an accord and a civic? Accord is a little less efficient and more powerful amirite? -

MPG isn't as important since I explained to my dad how it's a big marketing gimmick. Is Honda Civic our only option? I'm trying to convince my dad to get a used BMW E36 but he's really resistant towards BMWs because according to him, servicing them costs a lot because the parts are expensive because it's an imported car... (? anyone want to verify ?) Also, my dad wants to go to the enterprise dealership (where they sell their old rental cars) just to look around, what should I be looking for to make sure we get the best deal? I heard car salesman are really abrasive...how2outsmart? @sangara Thanks in advance, you guise are life savers. I srsly know nothing aboot cars.
MPG is important to some and even 2-3 mpg difference can mean mean ~30 miles difference per tank. Never trust the sticker on the window. Ultimately it boils down to the driver's driving style, ie one who speeds excessively vs grandma style. Anyways, Performance, fuel economy, cheap. Pick 2. Have you guys checked out Mazdas? Been reading up a lot about them and drivers have reported great reliability. Decently priced. Hell, if you guys are willing to put a little more cash into it you can get a new entry level Subaru Impreza for 16k I believe? Used, non performance models go for cheap, don't know why, they have a great reliability history. Just for the love of god, don't get a fucking Corolla. Sorry dude, your dad's right German cars in general are high maintenance. My boss's (I wanna say '06) Audi A6 has a butt load of problems. Goes to the stealership and gets it fixed, next day the low oil pressure sensor goes off. And the ride isn't all that great. Plus premium gas..... ouch! DO NOT go to a rental place, my family personally knew the owner of a rental place, these cars are abused and and almost never get receive basic maintenance. As for dealerships, always do your homework before stepping foot into one, and never accept no for an answer. Just be a hard as right back. And the difference between the Accord and Civic is that the Accord is a full size sedan/coupe vs the Civic which is a Compact. You'll get a little more space/room -

Pfft, all dealerships are slimy as hell. Avoid dealerships unless you have no other choice, and try private sellers, like on craigslist or forums. People on forums are generally more honest about their cars lol. At least, that's what I've seen from the MR2 forums I'm on.

My main problem with it is that it has a torsion beam rear suspension system resulting in: 1. Shitty handling 2. Shitty ride quality for rear passengers. 3. Shitty ride quality for front seaters. Steering is crap, very disconnected with the road. WAY too much power steering. An unusual amount of body roll. And driving position a feels a little too high. Power is really lacking, especially if you're going to have more than 2 people. Doesn't help that it feels like Toyota tunes their engines to be most efficient at low revs, so down shifting and flooring it doesn't give you that much extra power as you'd expect. And you just don't get much with the ridiculous price tag. Drove family in sister's Corolla from OC to San Jose and back. Hated the entire trip. Sore all over, just not a comfortable car. Yeah, I dun like Toyotas, Lexus, or Scions. As for that Civic, like Colin said, try to get it lower. And check the hell out of the frame. Salvage title from a minor accident like that? Fishy. Mom's Camry still has a clean title even after a rear end collision that was worst than the Civic's. -

I convinced my dad not to look into Corollas (thanks UED). But now he wants me to look into a Camry or an Elantra...IMO I think Camry's are overpriced but is there anything else conspicuously bad about them? Is the Elantra a good car even? Something tells me Koreans + Cars =/= good. (I grew up in Fullerton, don't blame me) Seeing as every manufacturer tries to compare their compact car to a Civic, I'm inclined to hold Civics as superior. Also, is my dad being unreasonable for not wanting a 2007-08 car with ~80k miles? -

So I already posted this on MR2.com, but I was wondering about you's guys' opinions. Mainly Colin, UEDan, dritan and maybe some of the older people who have cars :P http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk2-interior-stereo-modifications/Toyota-MR2-68236-reupholster-leather-seats-vs-buying-cloth-seats-tinting-t-tops.html So I was just looking at the list of stuff I want to do the my 2, and later on I would like to reupholster the stock leather seats. Thing is, is it more worth it to get them reupholstered, or to just get a decent pair of used cloth seats? Granted, the leather seats look nicer, in my opinion, but are high maintenance and prone to cracking. Not to mention that they're super hot when you get into them after letting the car sit in the sun for a few hours. I like the comfort and look of leather, but seats right now are cracked and wrinkly, and there's a pretty big tear in the left bolster on the driver's side. Opinions and ideas? Here are a couple pics: Drivers side
Passenger side, which isn't too bad at all.
Yes, I put Autobot stickers in the doors, flame me :P
And on the topic of cracking leather seats, has anyone ever tinted their T-tops? I think it could help a bit with preventing fading and cracking, and since I'm on the taller side, I don't ever drive with the sun shades on. Again, thoughts and opinions would be appreciated :D

Your T-tops arent tinted? Pix pl0x. Leather doesnt fade..does it? I think all it does is just crack. And you dont fit in the car with the sunshades on? LMAOLMAOLMAO. If youre thinking of tinting it, get like 5% tint, its not liek youre gonna get pulled over for that shit.

@Colin My T-tops are tinted a little bit, hardly even noticeable. And the thing is, cloth seats are a pain in the ass to clean; like if you spill something on them you'll have to steam clean it or someshit like that =\ And I've bought leather wipes and wiped them down once this weekend already, I'll do that every the car. Idk, I'm in a dilemma xDD AND YES, I'M 6'1", THE SUN SHADES HIT MY HEAD WHEN I PUT THEM ON. Ohey, that's a BC car =D Get those rims in gun metal =D

How do people get super clean engine bays like this?
-
Date: Sun, Jul 31 2011 22:56:59
They take the engine out, partially disassemble it, and then clean it lol. Wipe down the engine bay walls, polish the pipes and struts, clean the engine block and valve cover lol, whatever else they want to clean. And then it's regular cleaning, just wiping down whatever is visible and/or exposed, I think. Takes a long-ass time, the only reason I'd ever do it is if I was swapping in an engine. Might as well replace gaskets and hose clamps and shit like that too while I'm at it.

Its called a shaved bay, and a wiretuck. In english, they cover up all the holes, and reroute anything that isnt the actual engine to somewhere else that isnt visible, like under the dash, or in the trunk.

Lol strat, I did the exact same thing as Colin did :P Replaced my 91 rims with 93s. Still stock rims, but looks nicer. Today, I did some minor mods to the car. Took the stuff that I bought and Colin so graciously sent to me, and put them on. Quite a few pics in the spoiler.
Oh and I couldn't fit the fogs in, cuz my fogs take H3U and I got H3Cs from the store. I didn't even know they exist haha. Oh well, I'll have to see if I can get an exchange, even though I opened it =\Spoiler
First off, replaced the headlight housing.
I didn't install the HIDs just yet, I'm gonna get a set of normal 5000k bulbs and see how bright they are first. Then I'll go from there, since the headlight housing is really reflective and I don't want cops pulling me over to change my headlights.
Then I went to work on the bumper/signal and side marker lights.
Then I sprayed the Depo lights trim from black to grey/silver, since they couldn't detach. Can't really notice the difference when they're on the car unless you REALLY look at it.
Then it was just putting it back together.

I thought coilovers were adjustable though o_O Or do they adjust stiffness or whatever? Also:
5000k halogens in reflective headlight housing, clear bumper lights and OEM fogs. Can't wait for my yellow ones to come innnn :D Still want to install my 6000k HIDs though, it'd look even nicer. Pictures just don't showcase lights all that well, it looks better IRL =\ -

Theft recovery maybe? @shoeman6 Oh man, 30k can get you a lot. Lexus' are nice, like the IS350 and such. Or you can go Honda and get an Acura TSX, TL, CSX. I'd definitely get one of the Acuras, just cuz they last forever if you maintain it regularly and are reliable. Toyotas and Lexus' are getting less reliable, IMO, as I definitely see more of them in my dad's mechanics shop recently. Mainly the newer Corollas and Camrys. But shit, 30k, what a ballin' dad. -

XYZaki;122917]If a car must be damaged to 75% of its value, how does a replaced fender and headlight constitute a salvage title?[/QUOTE] Dont listen to the internet. Salvage title could be anything from a broken headlight to a mangled piece of metal. From what theyve provided, I can identify that: •Its made in Canada (no, im serious) •It is not an EX model, it isn LX model •Basically has everything a 06+Civic coupe has. I would say that the price is a little steep for a salvage title..but then again, the car isnt even a year old. IF you really wanna buy it, its up to you. [QUOTE=shoeman6 wrote: Looking at new cars for the dad, He's considering the Toyota Avalon or Lexus, any suggestions/ preferred alternatives? (around that price range of 30k)
30k? Holy shit fucker. You can get shit tons of nice cars. And also what Dalton says. Toyotas and Lexus's are gettingg a lot less reliable now. Theyve been sending out recalls like fuck. Id honestly get a nice Acura. A TSX or a the new 2012 Civics and @Sankaku , I got your fogs :) I havent opened em, its still in my car. Plus, those are some..pretty legit looking halogens .__.

Lol yay, that was quick :P And they're.. Lirsun? I have no clue who they are, but they are pretty nice. Came with reinforced wiring too. I got a picture of the package it came in, with the halogens that came with the headlight housing. I woulda taken a pic of the actual lights, but they're.. kinda installed right now and don't feel like taking them out just for a picture lol. Was sort of a pain in the ass to swap them out, in the DA, its just open the hood, pull harness out and switch lol.
Yeah, I've never heard of them, I just wanted to use something while I wait for my dad to install the HIDs lol. Probably next month or so. =\

I mean..hey, if you like the halogens, just stick with the halogens until they burn out. Trust me..Id rather have halogen bulbs with the equivilant of HIDs, than install HIDs and probably get a ticket for having HIDs :\ also..got bored.

@Colin lol yeah I guess, but I'd still like some HIDs, idk why. I think they just look nice, but these halogens are ok too. It may be something with the housing too; it's super reflective. Nonetheless, can't wait for the yellow fogs :D

New amazing product found: Plasti Dip lol. I've seen it around before, but never thought of coating car parts in that shit lol. Oh and today, I swapped out the driver side seat in the teg back to the stock one, so my brother can drive it. Nobody likes the cheap bucket seat I had in there before -.- That bucket seat was good, held me alright, but is pretty low quality lol. The left bolster was already wearing down, after only a 2 years or so? Anyways, I see a RHD 1991-ish Celica in there, so I go up closer for a look, and see it has the exact same engine as my MR2. 2.0 L 3S-GTE with Twin Entry Turbo lol. Momo steering wheel, O.Z. rims, looked like 17s, and some kind of exhaust, I forget the brand. So I'm looking at the car, and then my dad sees me and is like "Dalton, if you EVER buy this car, I will kill you." Made me lol. Apparently it's a total pain in the ass, and one of the mechanics took over an hour, just to get the radiator out lol. Pretty sweet though, never looked over a real JDM car before lol. I've seen some on the streets, but never 'admired' any until now lol. I thought it was funny, the "I will kill you" part.

Its funny..its mostly California and Florida that gets the most export parts. IE RHD ITR/EG clips. There are more RHD ITR's and RHD EG's out there than anything else. I will get you 5 dollars for that. The hardest replacement part..probably the dash, brake lines, brake booster and clutch lines. Im probably missing a few but that's about it :dunno: Most people wouldnt actually import the whole car, cause then you gotta pay import taxes, registration fees..plus the VIN isnt a (14?) digit like ours. Youd have to pay someone (under the table) to register your car with the 10digit Japanese VIN. Its easier and cheaper to do a RHD firewall swap. I dont feel safe, to tell you the truth. Youre so used to driving on the left, driving on the RHD is just stupid and a risk to others on the road. Youre really paying more..for less. -

OK OK OK, I got the craziest idea. And by crazy I mean inventive, kinda, I'm sure lots of people have thought of this, just haven't seen it around. So I'm gonna buy a single din cupholder, as planned:
Buttttt, instead of mounting it in the dash, I'm gonna hang it from the top of the glove compartment. That way, when I open the GC, I can simply pop those out and hold my drinks. AND THENNNN, I'm gonna get a decent double din stereo with a rear USB port, and hook up my ipod via the rear port and to the free box in the glove compartment. No wires, double din radio, cupholders, and no worrying about spilling drinks on dash. =D
Now to drool about this while I save up money to get my tails and springs first lololol.
EDIT: OK maybe not a double din radio, they cost at least $500 for a good one. I'll just keep it to a nice single din with rear USB, and a spare box or equalizer later on. -

Got a little update kinda, not really. My dad went out and bought some tint for me, 35%, since I still want some sunlight coming in through the top lol. He's gonna help me apply it to my T-tops this weekend probably.
He's also gonna take me to auto wrecker and help me look for that cupholder thing, and I'll try to fabricate my own mounting bracket and hang it in my glove compartment this weekend. Pics to follow :P

You can't control exactly where the paint particles will end up, so there will always be paint that is "lost" in the air and settles on something somewhere else...which calls for the arduous task of covering shit up with newspaper and tape. -

You cant get an S14 Kouki in the states. We have Zenki's, and do Kouki conversions in here. And you cant say "Then why cant I say S14 Kouki..same shit?" Why? Its like saying "I want a JDM Integra". Meaning you'd have to import one from Japan. Saying you wanna do a JDM Integra conversion, or a Kouki conversion makes much more sense. -

Went to my dad's shop today to see what I can take from one of the staff's wrecked Camry. But before I get into that, saw a pretty nice Type R parked in the unit across from his.
As far as I know, it's an authentic JDM front end, looks lowered, and probably some stuff done to the engine, hence the hood pins. I just don't like the lip, hood pins and stickers.
And also, the RHD Celica I was talking about a couple pages back.
And finally, the wrecked car that I tore apart.
Just to get these two things:
DIN spacer and cupholder. The cup holder was not in the DIN, but part of the centre console itself. Now all I gotta do is find a way to mount it in my car. -

@Colin LOL $500? And I was thinking something more along the lines of a custom bracket that hangs from the top. I'll work on it on Sunday. Edit: Or not. I've already taken the glove box out, and am gonna head over to Home Depot tonight to get some metal brackets that will support it. I have a skeleton already planned out, now all I gotta do is stabilize it.

I've decided to postpone my glovebox-cupholder project until later. Getting too frustrated lol. For now, I'll see if I can stick a cupholder on the centre console door, so when I open it I have a place to put a drink :3 Also got a bunch of recent pics to dump here. First, a few pics of the 2.
I think the clear bumper lights look preeeettyy noice, dontcha think? xD

It's a hatchback. And RPS13/RS13s = Silvia fastback, whereas S13 refers to 240SX hatchback. I'm not sure about this, but I think that S14s and S15s came only in Silvia body styles. -

First of all, two does not rhyme with gay. Secondly, any race, any day? Did you even watch the video? Sure, it's a stupid drag race, but it's still a race, and the MR2 was faaar from fucked up. You just jelly cuz you don't have a car. Sure, I have a shitty MR2, but at least it's something. Get a car, and you'll appreciate money and other peoples' cars more. Unless you're a massive prick, in which you'd still hate on everything else like a total Subaru Sexually Transmitted Infection elitist. Third, boxxy is a queerfag and your signature annoys me. Edit: Fourth, I'm assuming you're talking about a newer WRX. I have to admit, those are fast. But comparing a 2005 car to a 1995 car, I mean, that's like having a teenager and a grandpa in a walker have a 100 metre sprint. If you wanna talk shit, compare a 1995 WRX to a 1995 MR2. -

Was at a mall today with some fellow penspinners, and there's a Lamborghini shop that sells Lambo branded clothing and stuff. They got a couple of nice cars on display lol.
And in the parking lot of another mall, an Electron Pearl Blue Prelude =D
I love how low it is; it's just perfect without any stupid messed up camber.

THATS A MK4 TOYOTA FUCKING SUPRAAAAA, MY DREAM CARRRR. cept that one is riced to shit, all OEM + coilovers + decent exhaust = teh shittttt. But to what I did with my Toyota today :D Tinted the T-tops, looks better than no tint at all.
Wiping out the soap, stupid tint crinkled on us a few times :( oh well, it's just the T-tops, it's not like I'm looking through them all the time :P
All the soap wiped out, just gotta dry it with a hairdryer and get rid of any remaining soap water.
Hells yeah, gotta wait for a day or so before I clean them, otherwise the water'd just get under the tint and we'd have to do it over lol.
It's only 35% tint, but you can still see the difference between the T-tops and the windshield.

They look fun. I don't really know how a car runs, all those pistons and camshafts and injectors stuff. All I know is foot on gas = go and foot on brake = stop and clutchwork. Also a tad bit of turbo and induction stuff. But I'd still want a project car, like a Prelude or Integra. Seems like lots of fun, I'll learn stuff along the way and I'll appreciate the car more in the end. But before that, let's just get the MR2 where I want it to be first :P -

Alright, thanks for the notice. My dad is still reluctant to buy a Honda though >_> It doesn't help that our close friend's Civic Hybrid's battery went defunct after within 3 months of buying it. I might go for a cheap Kia sedan or something, I'm looking through reviews and crap for every compact car I can find and consulting /o/ and compiling a summary, my dad likes to have evidence of everything. -

ask /adv/ , they have some pretty good stuff there. Speaking of Kia's..Hyundai's really stepping it up. Their cars are getting really really nice now, and their prices..theyre going up, but sitll cheaper than a Benz. Look into one of those also:

I've decided what engine mods to do. Two real simple mods. Kinda. I wanna go with an aftermarket intercooler, something like HKS or GReddy, but those are super expensive. I was looking at a KO Racing one for $570, which is way cheaper than shelling out $900-$1000 for the HKS and Greddy ones. Depending on the piping they come with, I might also need to get another BPV. Not getting a BOV, just a BPV. Although I may just get a BOV later for the lolz and put it on when I want to. Just close off the recirculation pipe to the intake, put the BOV on, and when I want to put the BPV back on, reconnect the pipes lol. Also want a cold air intake. Not only does it increase turbo efficiency, it'll make the car sound nicer and louder too. I'll probably get an Apexi or K&N, with a 3.0" pipe. 4.0" will probably be better, but I'd rather have the smaller one lol. I was thinking about a 3.0" downpipe and Berk exhaust, but I really doubt that it'll pass emissions, although I was told the secondary cat is enough to do so with just the downpipe installed. With the Berk exhaust added though, I doubt it'll pass. I could always just keep my stock exhaust and put it on just for the emissions test (that is, IF it passes with just a DP installed), but it's a pain to do it every year, since my car (being pre-1992) needs to be tested every year. Sucks. =\ Plus, I'd rather keep my stock exhaust, the more of a sleeper the car looks the better. I do need new exhaust hangers though. So an IC and CAI it is :] And for kicks, I want this oil filler cap: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TOYOTA-RED-BRUSHED-TRD-BILLET-OIL-CAP-FILLER-COVER-/300592146814?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AMR2&hash=item45fcb0297e#ht_5113wt_939 and put this sticker on it: http://cn1.kaboodle.com/hi/img/c/0/0/42/0/AAAADIsLcp4AAAAAAEIFWQ.jpg?v=1239371731000 Hells yeah. Also, tomorrow, gonna go in to the shop and look at my rear right tire; seems to be leaking or something. If I have time, I'll most likely take off the engine lid and clean it, and same for the strutbar. NOT PAINTING IT ANYMORE.

My dad doesn't want a car older than 2008, nor does he want a salvage title. It's kind of hard to find a 10k civic with conditions like that ._. Also, the fact of the matter is, we won't need the car after like 2 yearsish. -

Exactly, so why pay extra for a new car. Plus new car insurance prices, newer car registration prices. With almost no creature comforts. And you will lose a HUGE chunk due to depreciation, and thats as you're driving off the lot. I know I'm missing a few other things..... Wait, is this new or used? -
Date: Sun, Sep 11 2011 22:51:19

We're buying it used, i was just using 2012 MSRP as a reference point to index and narrow the options. And my dad is really adamant about the car being only as old as 2008 because of some flawed theology that if its newer, it's less likely to break down. But unless I can empirically prove him otherwise, I'll keep quiet. -

Yes and no. Yes since new cars do have more bugs fixed. No since newer doesn't mean shit if its the first offspring of the latest generation. ie 2005 Sentra's have minor engine problems, 2006 are fine, 2007 also have slight engine problems, 2008 is fine, 2009???? And its quite a cheap car and cheap cars are usually bought for kids and we all know how kids drive...and on top of that a Versa is a car car-people don't usually buy. And non-car people tend not to know how to properly care for their cars. Just be careful and check it out thoroughly.

Swapped the radio from my dad's 4runner into my car. He wants a stock radio, so he's taking mine :D It's not plugged in yet, need some harness adapters to fit our cars. -

Do those kind of radios make any difference in sound? Or is it just a more customizable interface.

They allow you to hook up subs, amps and stuff like that, and also allow USB, iPod or aux input. The fancier double din ones with the screen can play DVDs, watch movies, have navigation, and other fancy stuff. They go as far as having a computer inside. Like, windows XP with touch screen. Pretty insane. But a single din unit is good enough for me, just let me hook up my ipod and I'm good to go.

First off, I just wanted to say that I love breastseses.
Secondly, I took Colin's advice of taking the cheapest solution to little mods, so I bought these decals for the side trim.
They're OEM, but on later revisions of the SW20. And they don't go on grey trim either; it's supposed to be on black or body coloured trim. Oh well xD idk.

Took a few pics on my phone recently, just decided to transfer them to my computer now. Old MR2 and new MR2 (officially called an MRS, but it's for male hairdressers and middle aged men in mid-life crisises, but modded with good wheels, lip and skirts it could look a lot better)
Also check out my awesome mileage =D
Coulda been 177777, but oh well :P
Also, my coworker's Type R that I just gawk over. So clean and OEM, with an amazing CF hood, legit JDM front end conversion and on H&R coils. Headers, air filter and high-flow cat T1R exhaust. So nice. And when I say legit JDM front end, I mean that there are no lines over the the bulb, and that there are HID ballast mounting points on the rear of the headlight frame. It's hard to explain the lights part.
Found some pics of ITR headlights. You can see that in the first one, there are these de-froster-esque lines that line that headlight horizontally.
http://www.jdm-online.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/0/0/007.JPG
And in this pic, those lines stop around a circle where the bulb is.

He told me the ones with those de-froster-ish lines are replicas, and the ones that don't have them in front of the bulb are authentic ones shipped from RHD ITRs in Japan. Pree cool. -

Its just a fad, its not useful at all unless you bike a lot. Adds a shitload of weight. Not cheap either..usually Yakima or Thule.

Damn I'm idiot.... didn't fully read the whole thing in class. The Supra looks like a Z bastard child. The MR2 reminds me of a Lotus(good thing) But a 1.5L hybrid engine? You got a 2 liter turbo right? I don't get how that's a MR2 :shrugs:
-
Date: Thu, Oct 6 2011 08:01:55
Idk either, but it still has the MR2 and Supra names. I'm glad that Toyota is bringing back sportier cars after a while of shitty Corollas, Camrys and Echos. I'm just not liking how they're going about the hybrid route. I mean, sure Honda has the CRZ and that's popular, but a hybrid car isn't a real sports car. Sports cars are supposed to be fast and sleek with a good sized engine, not some dinky little 1.5 L thing. It's not some Euro hot hatch. I'd love for Toyota to start making real sports cars again; I miss the Celicas, the MR2s, and the Supras.

oh wth I thought I typed in $50k, so it costs more than what I thought... in PH if they ever release a supra probably it'll be around $120~150k cuz of the tax shit, nice if they'd sell it for $90k though -

How about..you dont complain, since theyre buying you a car. The paint loks pretty clean. Just ditch the hubcaps and keep it well maintained. Youll get better gas mileage anyway. Go on forums, see what theyve done to their sentras. As for the update, Ive been goen for quite a while, so updates forsure.
Went to my local autoshop to get these two mounted and balanced..for 12 bucks. Hook up :)

Thanks! Nah dude, I'm plan on keeping it stock =) But I am tempted on the exhaust, since you can't really hear that "Subie rumble" inside the cabin ='( And I plan to take this car camping/road tripping.... so no moar low! If anything, MOAR HIGH!!!!

Naw, his MR2 is NA. Real nice though. Post some interior shots of the Subie =D Edit: On another note, I'm looking at getting another daily driver after we sell the Integra in a couple years. As much as I love that little Honda, it's gotta go, it has 274,000 km on the chassis, a little less on the used motor. I'm gonna try to convince my dad to get a 7th gen Celica when the time comes, but some people have called this car girly. I don't think it is o_O
I mean, look at it, not girly at all, IMO. Then again, some people say the MR2 is girly (not just the 1Z MRS, but my SW20 too D=), so to each their own I guess. I would love to have a Celica in red, just cuz I love white and red cars, and gotta have one of each. Plus, that car can fit more than 1 passenger, and look better than a 20 year old DA9 =D -

Protip of the day: Close your doors COMPLETELY, otherwise your battery will die and you'll have to end up pushing a car up a slope into a garage while you're sick and studying for midterms, in which case the car will roll back if you don't push it all the way in on the first try, almost crushing you.

I was moving my car from the car port, to the garage. A total of 20 feet. @UEDan in the summer, 1 tank got about 350 km city. So about 10.5 gallons for a full tank got me ~220 miles. I'm also using 91 premium. 21.9 MPG? That's ok for a turbo car, even though it's only a 2.0 litre engine.

This thread is so dead now that Colin doesn't post here :( I've decided on my first few performance mods. First will be a GReddy SP exhaust, then a cold air intake, probably going with a K&N. Then will be a downpipe, thinking of either the KO Racing or the Berk. I'll ask the nerds on the MR2 forums for input. Then I'll spend some money on boost, which includes a CT20b turbo along with supporting mods like maybe a wastegate and boost control so I can crank it up to 16, 17 or even 18 psi. I'd be happy with 240 HP, and those mods may be enough to do so, given that my car hasn't lost TOO much horsepower over the span of 20 years. I'm guessing that my car has about 180 HP now. A full engine rebuild and cleaning sounds good, but I has no time, money or skill. GReddy exhaust sound clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Hk8GOPyur8 Keep in mind that the exhaust will sound extremely sexier with the turbo going and an aftermarket intake. I'd LOVE to swap in the JDM Gen3 SW20 engine rated at 242 HP, but again, no funds, time or skill to do it. And these mods will come later down the road; it's getting close to shopping time for my springs and tail lights. I also plan on cancelling my insurance from December till February, which will save me $720. That's MORE than enough to get my last 2 aesthetic mods up. In addition, that'll also leave me money to get my 93+ shift lever and 93+ shift boot. $60 for the 2 of those. And one more thing. White panel? http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa53/MSAGRO_2007/mr2back.jpg Or black panel? http://a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/308169_280867578602598_100000380755707_909054_778000707_n.jpg Or maybe one of each and switch them whenever I want? :D

@Sankaku GUESS WHO'S BACK BIEETCCHHH?! Internet has been ded 4 2 weekz. white panel, honestly. AND SOME UPDATEZ. I got a NHBP SI Grill with a JDM emblem for my car, for 60 bucks. The legit JDM emblem is 85 already..so I got it for a snag. Plastidipped my roof black, cause the paint was fading rather quickly. Well, not yet. On its way. Will update with pix! Ive been on 8thcivic a lot, sorry :c Gonna ask uncle to reteach me stick, hopefully Ill get one of his ITR's or his built EG :3 His PY is an unfinished supercharged project..the CW is bone stock, apparently .___. And the EG has a UKDM (or EDM, i forget) head, polished, ported, CTR pistons..all that good stuff. Makes more power than the CW ITR apprently..Im really hoping to drive either one of those cars before the year ends.

Date: Mon, Nov 14 2011 05:02:20
I'm 19 lol. Idk exactly how much, but I changed it back in March, and 8000 km later it needed more. I guess that's cuz it's leaking somewhere too haha, there's a spot on the ground when I leave it parked at my house. In addition, found this post on MR2.com, talk about a crappy ass day. As Dizzy Dean once said, I should have stood in bed today. About 11:30 this morning I went to go to the bank and noticed one of my tires on the MR2 was low. I checked the tire with my AutoZone pressure gage and I got 15 psi all around, so after going to the bank (which took 30 minutes) I went to Wal-Mart for a new pressure gage. I parked out in the boondocks so nobody would hit me. When I came out, there was a shopping cart pushed up against my left rear quarter-panel. Behind it was a huge dent. The damage could not have been caused by the shopping cart. Probably $500 to $1000 damage. Until this, the body was about as perfect as a 25 year old unrestored car could be. I don't have collision or comprehensive on this car. Fortunately Wal-Mart has a video camera, but only the police have access. I went to the Cop Shop and filed a report. I will find out in the furure what they discovered. I got home and my phone was blown up. The wife had been calling because when she went to go to lunch she found someone had run into the rear of her car in the employee parking lot messing up the rear bumper and taking out the tail-lights on one side. I went out to take a picture of the damage to my car. The strap on my camera broke and I wiped out a $750 camera. Thank you for letting me vent. There should be a special section in Hell for hit and run drivers.

Ohh okay, I shee, non-HID and HID headlights. My coworker has the HID JDM front end :P Also, WHO WOULD FUCKING SELL THIS CAR AFTER RESTORING IT?
TRD SW20 2000GT, 1st one off the factory floor. About 200 made, I think. 2.2 L NA stroker engine making about 200 HP to the flywheel. Incredibly sexy car, I was so surprised when I read that he sold it. I would honestly kill someone for this car. Probably someone from UPSB xDDD

EDIT:
Oh also, I'm looking to replace my cheap eBay headlights after I get my tails, springs and steering wheel. After some research, I've decided to go with Hella H4s, cuz they can fit HIDs and have a good cut off.

I wouldn't mind Raybring H4 housings either, but they look like they can be really bright

so my LED's from http://www.ebay.com/itm/270849630984?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 came in today. I gotta say that these LED's function
JUST the same as my 25 dollar LED's that I pay for, if not better.I take that back. Theyre not as bright as my 6 SMD LED ones cause the LEDs are twice the size of the 12 SMD LED ones. I mean theyre still bright, just not as bright. If youre gonna purchase SMD LEDs for your car, stick with the 6 LED ones. So, eGay LED's are perfectly fine, as long as they dont blow a fuse or some shit. Never purchasing LED's from iJDMtoy again. Fucking overpriced as shit. -
Date: Sun, Nov 27 2011 03:53:49
I get my LEDs from superbrightleds.com. May be a generic name, but their stuff is pretty good quality and price. I just so happened to install some brighter blue LEDs in my cluster today, and it looks real nice. Definitely worth the 12 bucks I paid for 4 of them.
I'll get some better pics with my camera tomorrow; I forgot to plug in the speedo cable anyways so I might as well go back tomorrow and do it. Before, I wasn't able to see my needles, now I can =D

Then it'll be a CT20b or an aftermarket turbo with some turbo supporting mods like a manual boost control, wastegate and BLOW OFF VALVE >:]

PLASTIDIP :666: Get a seperate set form the junkyard..if youre gonna do work on something, always get a spare pair. Thats why Im purchasing the SI struts with the sportlines, if anything, i can always have my stock set up to fall back on. Plus the springs are already installed! -

As much I love my stock wheels, I really REALLY want TRD T3s D:
16 x 7 fronts and 16 x 8 rears, super light at like, 12-15 lbs each, and they just look sexy. Would love these wheels on my car :( COLIN, PHOTOSHOP THEM IN? http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk262/RDazr/Toyota%20MR2/DSC00660.jpg -

Also gonna visit the 2 tomorrow and pop in some lights. Clock overlay, dome lights, license plate lights, maybe ignition ring light. OK maybe not, feeling 2 lazy and will probably just spend a weekend in March in the shop putting all the stuff on at once. Lights, clock, tail lights, steering wheel, shift lever, shift boot, shift knob, head unit, springs, lip. Yar.

OK so I lied, I got bored and went over to visit my baby 2 lol, and install the lights I got from superbright and the TRD shift knob.
Also gonna order my 93 shift lever and 93 shift boot today; those should arrive in January. OK so it's gonna take 2-5 business days, that was the ONLY shipping option I could choose -.- $65 worth of stuff cost $100 shipped. Ghey. But hey, I got it. I'll have to go to the post office after Christmas break though, since I'm out of town from the 26th to the 1st. MOAR PARTS :DSpoiler
Easiest one was the clock overlay:
Then the ignition ring light. I thought I had to sand down the end so it'd fit, but I just had it in backwards since the LED is polarized. Silly me.
Then the dome lights, I swore I thought I was gonna break the plastic piece but people said it takes force, so force it I did. And then put in white LEDs =D
Then the license plate lights
And last but not least the TRD knob
It actually feels nice to shift, even though it's golf ball sized. I'll add more to my shift knob collection, I seem to like collecting them :P
And a couple pics of everything lit up.

Words cannot describe how I feel Colin :D Looks like a clean 2, SMG is a great colour. Already looks nice with BBS-esque wheels in 17s, (looks like) and an Apexi (?) single exhaust. Drop it lower, with Tein S Techs and Koni Yellows if you want the spring/shock, or get something like K&B coilovers. Update the interior a bit (assuming it's still OEM 91), add a 93+ lip and it'll be smexy :D If you want wheels, fat 5 spokes are hot, IMO. Work Meisters and SSR SP1s are what I want if I were to put wheels on mine. Also Colin, koukimonster is in El Monte lol, idk if thats close to you. His car is sick, one of my favourites. It's just completely slammed and really clean. Also got my shift boot and shift lever in the mail today :D Pics laterrrr, just came back from a ski trip and wanna do other stuff first.

It's half as heavy as the turbo one, but idk if I wanna go through the hassle of painting it and losing the authentic Turbo MR2 look. And it's only for $20. Decisions...

Those are some gay mesh rims. He had legit JDM 3 piece Racing Hart C2's before. Staggered :D I'm actually gonna get some coils for it. The MR2 is a car worth investing in.

Yeah, people told me about Redline just after I bought it. I'll probably sell the 93 boot and get Redline stuff. MR2 owners also swear by staggered wheels, something like 17x9 in the back and 17x7 in the front. How much you gonna pay for the car?

@kaku Oh. I didnt thoroughly read your post. As for engine mods..theres an HKS or a Blitz BOV, I forgot which one it is. I think its an HKS one. Interior, he has the JDM cloth seats, and everything's OEM. I MIGHT stick with the C2's, but that's the only set of rims Ive ever seen on that car that looks good..so Id have to rethink that. If I have the money, I'm gonna get a set of Varrstoen's, concave TE37 reps. Theyre pretty reknowned for being quality reps.

Gud news, Oteck may be able to help me out with my horn and airbag issue :D If you're not Colin and wondering what the issue is, it's that I want to buy a JDM steering wheel with an airbag, and my car doesn't have the airbag wiring. I want to be able to bypass the airbag wiring completely, but the 98 steering wheel uses a clock spring for the horn and my 91 uses a contact ring. Oteck may be able to take out the airbag, convert the wheel so it'll work on my car. :D Thank goodness for wiring wizards :D

Copied from Craiglist ad in Vancouver 1997 Acura Integra Type R This has been my wife's daily driver for the last year, but now we have a child on the way, so it's sadly time to change to a four door vehicle. The car has ~145,000km on it and a few goodies, including Tein coil over suspension, a complete T1R stainless steel header and full exhaust, light weight Konig wheels and the battery relocated to the hatch. We haven't had any issues with the car, it has no declarations and is in great condition. The interior is incredibly mint and looks brand new. Not looking for any trades. Thanks for reading.

Redline stuff, Colin? Should I get it soon or wait a bit?
2nd pic is of Joe's/Oteck's interior of his black SW20. IIRC, this one had the V6 in it, but he put the NA motor back in cuz the V6 had issues with corroding sleeves or something. His white SW20 is his daily, I think.
Not really digging the side skirts, wheels or lip, but eh. Aeroware lip + GReddy sides are what I'd do it I wanted to go aftermarket.
Also, wish I had the money for these:

Lol the pic form Redline and the one in Oteck's car are similar, it's just the lighting that fucks it up. His is perforated leather. I'm sure he changed the wheels by now, I'll probably see when I go over :P And idk, something that style. 5 spokes, fat or skinny. Something like FN0RC1s, RP02, RP01, 57C (I think those are the Gram lights I like, but way too expensive anyways). But rims will be at least a year later. -

My goal is to build a sleeper, all be it upgrading the looks to the newer generation MR2. Notice how I got OEM 93 wheels, OEM 94 tail lights, OEM 98 steering wheel, OEM shift knob, boot and lever, and going to get an OEM 93 lip. And I want exhaust that looks OEM, not down for those dual canister low hanging ball sack ones. The only things 91 left in my car will be the seats and engine lol. Which I'll replace with a 3rd gen/93+ engine after it blows or melts or explodes lol.

Lol I know that RWD almost need to run staggered, I was wondering if you going with 16F, 17R if you got the Varstoens. Something like a 16x8 F 17x9 R would be a nice aggressive set up. Although I think you need to start pulling fenders once you go past 8 inches wide, somewhere about there. How wide are the Racing Harts? My ideal setup would be 16x7s out front and 16x8 in the rear. Wider would be better, but I don't wanna pull my fenders and try to keep gas consunption down lol. The OEM 93s I have on now are 15x6 F and 15x7 R, and they look kinda skinny. Edit: For reference, this dude is running double staggered Varstoens: 17s in front and 18s in the rear, albeit his tires are stretched.
And this dude is also running double staggered, super wide wheels:
17x9.5 and 18x10.5. Super stretched, also on Varstoens.
And thanks to that last pic, I have another exhaust option. Fujitsubo Legalis R, about a 7 HP increase. Now I have 3 to choose from: GReddy SP, TRD, Fujitsubo. :)

Edit: For reference, this dude is running double staggered Varstoens: 17s in front and 18s in the rear, albeit his tires are stretched. http://i834.photobucket.com/albums/zz263/phamrichard/36f2791d.jpg And this dude is also running double staggered, super wide wheels: http://i593.photobucket.com/albums/tt16/dubmr2/DSC_04153.jpg 17x9.5 and 18x10.5. Super stretched, also on Varstoens. And thanks to that last pic, I have another exhaust option. Fujitsubo Legalis R, about a 7 HP increase. Now I have 3 to choose from: GReddy SP, TRD, Fujitsubo. :)
What are those, like 305's?! thats fuckign ridiculous.. Running extremely wide wheels is absolutely stupid. There's this guy n 8thcivic running 18x10.5 on his car, his fenders are pulled, rolled, and flared. It looks disgusting. I would NEVER do anything to the body work that requires for me to alter the shape of the body. Imagine how retarded it would look when you sell the car. Also, I believe its 16x7, 16x8. Its only like a 1.5" lip. And I think stretched tires are hot.
Is ridiculous.
Is fucking perfect.

Decided to go with TRD springs. People have said nothing but good things about them, and I love the drop they give.
Just low enough, for me. As much as I like the look of a bit of tire tuck, I can't see myself driving a car THAT low in Vancouver. Too many speedbumps, parking lots and even the dip next to curbs would be hairy lol.
Plus, Lithia Toyota on MR2 Board is a sponsored vendor, and they have them for $260. Twosrus wants $310 for them. Plus their insane shipping on top of it. I can probably get them for $300 shipped from Lithia. -

Corvette Stingray? They're not so much cheap as they are rare. I've only seen 3 or 4 here (1 raced a BMW 7 series, and destroyed him :O), and Vancouver has a decent amount of nice cars. The majority of the people are rolling around in $70,000 BMWs and Benzs, so I'm sure they could all afford a 20k Stingray. Rare car, but I'd rather spend $20k on a newer used car.

Especially love asian moms trying to back in. I once watched this one try to back her minivan in to a pretty wide space, got sick of waiting, and when I was able to go around, drove past, found a spot labelled small car, backed it in, locked my wheel, got out, took my bag out of the trunk, answered a text, and she was still parking. Lmao. Now I understand that you got a minivan, but YOU GOTTA TURN THE WHEEL MORE. lolz.

Kindaflush? I dont think soo..get spacers for your stockies :p -
Date: Thu, Jan 12 2012 23:24:32
Lol, I'm looking at a Skunk2 shift knob soon, probably buy that just before I put the car back on the road. There's one on eBay that I'm looking at, $45. I may get it shipped to you though, Colin, and you can send it to me. I think he wants like $20 for shipping or some shit like that. And I'm looking at spacers for my rears, 30 mm hubcentric ones are what I'll probably go with. I just wish the stock wheels were wider, 6" front and 7" rear ain't fat enough lol, I want at least 8 or 8.5 in the rear. Also, my 98 steering wheel came in this morning, mail man woke me up lmao. Oh well, he gave me a box, and in the box wrapped in about 30 feet of bubble wrap was my wheel :D Now it's in the ever growing box of parts.

I know about the risk of spacers, if I do get them, I'll go small. But I'm okay with tucked in stockies, I'll semiflush it when I get my aftermarket wheels, in a year or two. Shift knob thread pitch is 10x1.25, I have a bunch of factory info written down all over my whiteboard :P

Form, as long as it doesn't impede function. There.

I'm dropping my car 1.5", but it'll still go over speedbumps and driveways fine. One day, when another car trend is popular, people will look back at Hellaflush and be like PPFFFTTTT THAT WAS STUPID, kinda like the ricer mentality now. Back in the F&F days, if you had a 350Z with park bench wings, crazy paint jobs, underglow, and the only panels OEM on your car are the doors, you were cool. Now, if you drive one, you look stupid haha. Times change, next thing you know, the hot thing will be like, riced motorhomes or something lol. Idk why I wrote so much, all I was gonna say is trends come and go, but I just kept typing. Also, I am sans iTunes and all my pictures.

Date: Fri, Jan 13 2012 09:44:52
Ok, that works for me. Now back to the roof rack thing, seriously. I do not see how the hell that became "in". They're heavy pricey and serves no purpose to the majority of those "dope" fiends. I mean at least the bus bench wing provided some downforce to a 350z to some extent. But a roof rake? Probably fucks up the areo. And downforce? Probably because its so heavy. I just don't see where the appeal came from, anyone got any clues?

The "fag" suffix really shouldn't have a negative connotation to you, but I guess lurk moar. Anyways, I hate every car in existence after trying to do the license tests in GT4 with a Logitech wheel. But cars have a sort of ephemeral appeal, what looked nice 6 months ago is meh to me now. -

Fucking Canada. Real icy tonight, coming home on a side street near my house, hit a patch of clumped up ice about half an inch high, somehow went to the left, so I counter steered and veered it to the right, where there were no cars parked. Was sliding at a 45 degree angle and hit the corner of a curb. I dunno how fast I was going when I hit it, but I was going 30km right before I hit the clump. Luckily, my front tires were facing the curb head on, so I didn't scrape the wheels. Probably didn't bend it either, since it was pretty slow. No damage to the car, bumper was fine, drove OK after. Man, this car is invincible lol, 2 rear enders and a curb and all it has are a couple of paint chips :P Glad the car isn't low lol. I'll drive the car tomorrow, and if it steers weird, I'll get the alignment checked. Freakin' hell, I was so scared I was gonna hit a car. D:

haha people gotta bitch about something! I know MR2s and other short wheelbase RWD cars (ie s2000) have throttle-off snap oversteer, so what would you do in that situation? Just modulate the power though the slide while counter steering? Movie? Cheesy facial shots but cool chase.... Speaking of GTRs, I tried to play cat and mouse with a R35 GTR last night on the highway.... the keyword here is "tried"
-
Date: Sat, Jan 21 2012 01:11:27
I honestly have no idea how to deal with snap oversteer, haven't pushed my car to the limits to find out. Yet. And it's a movie, cheesy face shots but it's better than F&F lol. And speaking of S2000s, I love them, would love to have one. Grand Prix white, 2004, dunno what wheels, there are too many. AP1, AP2V1, AP2V2 I don't even know lol.

Date: Sat, Jan 21 2012 07:02:10
Yeah, if they had permanent hardtops they'd be an awesome track car. But it's more of a fun roadster dealio, which is alright too, since more people drive in the city and on the highways than they race around Buttonwillow or something.

[video=youtube;jhndkjCir6k]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhndkjCir6k[/video] SSR SP1s ZOMG. Dream wheels right der. Or Work Meisters, both are hot shit. Gotta have em wide though, 17x8 front and 17x9/9.5 rear. Man, I wish I could. But wheels are a luxury, I already got nice ones, if I have lots of money at one point then I'll pick up a set. Surely I can't be the only one who likes a cleanly modded 180 or 240SX? Although I think the wing is too high on that one, and I woulda kept the interior more stock (no rollcage, strut bars, bucket seats), something like a quick release NRG or Personal wheel and Recaros. I wouldn't mind having a 240 for a year or so :P Looks fun.

Ahhh just came from Big Bear. I'm loving the WRX's chassis/drivetrain. Its been raining here in SoCal, so the road half way up had a layer of ice, top was fine. Light snowfall. But man, brake, turn-in, mild oversteer, correct, then the chassis/awd just snaps the car the right way. Easily the fastest up/down the mountain, and I wasn't even pushing the car.... would love this thing even more if I didn't just get another car payment bill in the mail today =(

Lol nice, but does the car steer heavy at all? Like, does it feel like you're steering an SUV or a small car? Cuz the WRX wagon is pretty big, so I'm assuming it must turn like a tank. But it seems like it's pretty nimble from your.. excursions lol.

My old '98 Civic Sedan had a wheelbase of 103.2in, the my WRX is 99.4in. Track is about the same. So the turning radius is about the same(1 inch worst probably due to AWD) Its no slouch man! But at 3200lbs its still a fucking tank. haha Its cliche, but its Rally heritage is very prominent. On tarmac, its ehhh but grips like crazy. But once its in dirt or anything loose... bye bye! hahhahaha. Have you driven a WRX? I mean you live where it regularly snows, there should be plenty of Subies. If not, check 'em out, its a fun ride dude. [QUOTE=Zombo wrote: i know, but i mean outside of the mountains

I see a lot of Subies here, lotta of the STis, WRXs, Imprezas. And it's not really snowy where I live, it's more like, fuckton of rain lol. My dad's friend used to have an old STi, I think it was an 04? He said it was fast and lots of fun, but he sold it a couple years later after destroying the gearbox during some 'spirited' driving lol. Also sounds like you'll really want those sway bars soon lol, it'll handle even better. I'm even thinking about swaybars for my MR2, just so I can take it up for mountain drives and not have the car roll side to side haha. I really believe in supension > power, in terms of upgrades. It's why I'm getting suspension parts before I get engine mods. Springs, struts, good tires, sway bars, endlinkstoelinks (still gotta learn about those), maybe even better brakes (the 91 brakes on the 2 are crap, even my 1990 Integra brakes harder lol). I really wanna try other Japanese cars, but I love the short wheelbase of the cars I've driven so far. I mean, the MR2's is 94.5 inches (according to wikipedia) and the DA9's is 100.4 inches. Easy to park, nimble and fun. Still, one day I'll have to get a larger car, but I would like to try out a WRX, an FD RX7, Prelude, you know :P Idk about you, but my favourite Subie in terms of looks has to be the 22B, idk why lol.
Maybe cuz it's one of the few coupes that they offer :P -

AFAIC, the dude had a bolt in Cusco roll cage in there, and the side bars actually snapped off. The car rolled down a cliff too, the driver is so lucky to be alive. Lucky he installed that cage. Also, shift knob should be here this week (yes, I got another one) and springs in next week. Also gonna buy a short shift kit and another TRD ball knob from a dude in Edmonton in Febraury. Idk if I posted about getting a lip locally here yet, but whatever, I'll do it again. Guy in lower mainland Vancouver has a 93 lip he may sell to me in late February; it's metallic blue and has some small scrapes on the bottom. He's offered $140 to me, which is totally far. I just gotta buy the retainers from Toyota (ugh, dealerships), fill in the scrapes, sand it all down and spray it white to match my car. I'm also considering an NA engine lid; it's lighter, easier to detail and can trick people into thinking my car isn't turbo >:] Until they see the Turbo emblem on the trunk lol. There was another dude in Vancouver selling his NA lid for $20, in black, idk if he still has it and whether I should nab it. Edit: The S2K fell off this cliff here:
And landed on the grass (I think):
Fell 30 feet, dunno if it was straight down or if he was rolling down the side. Regardless, DAYAMN. Oh, this is in the 600+ page long 'Clean' S2000 pics thread on HT.

I just realized that my dream wheels (SSR SP1s in Super Black Coat) will cost over 2 grand. 17x7 front and 17x8 rear, each costs about $500 each from the local SSR dealer. Add $90 each for the SBC finish, plus tax, bam, over 2 grand. The 17x7s cost about $480, 17x8s cost $520. That, AND new tires, another $1000. Over 3 large for a set of my dream wheels, holy shit.

More car nerd talk. Even though I just got a new shifter, I already want a TRD one. People say it shifts like butter, and well, it's TRD and I'm a TRD junkie. Anything TRD that I can afford I will get. http://www.rhdjapan.com/trd-quick-shift-kit-mr2-mr-s-celica-51940 Another reason I want it is so that I can run this custom shifter surround called a Dommenator. Looks nicer than the OEM one, IMO.
Dommenator
OEM (mine)
I could use the 93 OEM shifter in combination with the Dommenator, but 5th gear is hard to get into if you use a 93 on a 91/92. So I'm getting a short shifter piece that attaches to the 93, so it has shorter shift throw and also solves the problem of 5th gear. But this combo won't fit in the Dommenator, but the TRD will. I'll probably get these 2 in the summer; altogether it'll cost about $350, without shipping. That's quite a bit, seeing as you can get a LOT with $350, but eh, I like things that look pretty. Power will come in at one point. Also looking at getting Koni Yellows ($700) this summer too. -

Yep I drive with both feet in an Auto too =) Technique great for twisties where you would normally just stay in gear. Left foot brake to transfer the weight forward to increase steering grip, accelerate out to counter any understeer. That split second to lift off and switch from the brake and gas pedal adds up. And my passengers and I notice its usually smoother, instead of quickly lifting off and causing the momentum to harshly shift front/rear. I guess I drive a little aggressively... And I've never posted interior shots of my WRX:

-
Date: Mon, Feb 13 2012 04:41:06
It is quicker, but I can see why people don't do it, panic drivers might actually hit both the accelerator and brake at once. But when done right that split second can save your ass, saved mine when I was still green behind the wheel. True, left foot braking can be REALLY bad if you're lazy. Good rule of thumb is if you are going to rest your foot on the pedal, don't let the brake lights come on. Driving is not be for lazy people.

Lol it wasn't too bad, I was coming to pick up my brother after getting lunch, and I noticed my tire was kinda flat. I thought it just needed some air, so I drove it to work (where he was waiting) and could feel the tire and hear it too. By then I was like, yeah, I dun wanna fuck up my sidewall or anything, so I'll just change the tire. And work is literally 3 minutes away from my house, so I didn't wait long lol. Kinda embarrassing though, people passing by you and you're just standing there with a useless socket wrench. As for the cupholders, I'm trying to custom fit some in the car, but not drill any holes or anything. I had one that fit over the air vent, but it blocked cold air (which I needed in the summer) and could only hold cans of pop. I have an idea planned, I just need the parts and I'll try it out >:] Also, @Colin you get the SW20 stickers yet? :P -

FOUND MY WHEELS.
Rota D2s, now I've heard some negative comments about Rotas, but idgaf. They're Meister replicas, in 17x7.5 and 17x8.5, and going to be heavy as fuc. I DONT CARE THOUGH, since I'm looking for budget wheels, and these'll be perfect, at $150 for the 7.5s and $170 for the 8.5s at a local dealer. Plus tires, the setup will be about a grand. Most likely gonna go for 245/40/17 rear and 215/40/17 front. And I'm gonna replace the centre caps with the Toyota emblem, not the Rota one :P
For reference, here's a pic of real Work Meisters:
Hooray for replicas lol.

My TRD knockoff that Colin got me is being used by a friend, if he likes it he'll buy it lol. Plus, I just ordered a Razo, so that'll be coming in soon too.

Convertible discussion: S2k vs. MX-5. Gogogo. Sil80 convertible is also an option, but most 240s are really beat up.
-
Date: Tue, Feb 14 2012 07:22:10
Sileighty convertibles are hard to find. MX5s and S2Ks are everywhere. S2K > MX5 though, but not by much. Honda reliability + modern technology and looks. Plus it looks absolutely amazing dropped on some nice wheels and with the factory hardtop. Just gotta decide between AP1 and AP2.

Those are sweet. Reminds me of the stock BBS on Evo IX's love those things. I'd just be worried when I off road of them =,( But they do look good, and light! But at $300 per wheel.... FUCK!

Sedans? I kinda agree, I got my wagon for utilitarian purposes. @Zaki... Neither, dun not a fan of the S2k's engine, typical Honda with powerband WAY up high. Max power about 500 rpms before redline? Great for racing but having to drive it like I stole it to get it moving(like my old civic) got old quick. The MX5, its a fucking Miata, but they tend to handle pretty damn well. But if I HAD to choose, the S2k. Like Kaku said, modern and reliable. Nissan doesn't have a good track record with reliability. BUT If this is a car for you. Look elsewhere. No offense. But the S2k has a bad tendency for snap oversteer, and being YOUR first car..... ehhhh. Just sayin' man. -
Date: Tue, Feb 14 2012 08:48:07
Both the S2k and the Miata have pretty short wheelbases, so they're both prone to some snap oversteer. I dunno about the Miata, but I've heard somewhere that the S2k is actually classifed as a mid-engine car as the engine sits behind the front wheels. The engine in it is actually one of the best NA engines out there, but the power is too high. Going up to 5000 RPM to hit VTEC is pretty high; a turbo car can kick in lower, even at 3000. I've talked to a lot of MR2 owners, some have gone to the Miata side and others to the S2k side, and they love them both. It's just a matter of looks and reliability then. But if you're looking at a fun first car, try something like an Integra GSR or if you want an entry level RWD, a normal 240SX is fine. Just be ready to have it fixed more than the Honda and Toyota cars. I just got lucky with my MR2 and have a mechanic for a dad, so repairs and maintenance is no issue for me.

I see. Not really looking for a car yet, I was just curious. Though the prospect of a convertible seems really, really fun. But I hate how it looks with the top down.
-

Convertibles look the best when they have the top down. Someone I know has an E46 M3 convertible, he said it's like driving a bathtub, real fun.

Some cars do, others look alright with the top up. Also, FCKING BOUGHT THE WRONG SHORT SHIFTER KIT. I bought the one for a 91, but then after trying it on the 93 lever and finding out it didn't work, found out that I needed the 93+ short shifter. Ugh. Oh well, I can probably sell it to people who still have the 91 shifters.

GOD FUCKING DAMMNIT I GOT JIPPED AGAIN. PEOPLE SELLING CAR PARTS ARE FUCKING ASSHOLES. Story: This guy is parting out his MR2, and has a MINT, and I mean mint, GReddy SP exhaust for sale.
Now this exhaust is MINT, and discontinued a long time ago. They look stock, but give a good sound. I've wanted one since day one, literally. Only a few pop up every now and then, and mint ones like that go for $450+. I messaged him right away asking to buy it, he told me to set up the shipping and find out prices to have it shipped from VA to Canada. I calculate it right away, and tell him it's $70, and if he'd be okay with $300 + $70 shipping. He wanted it for $340 shipped in the US, so I thought it was a fair deal. A couple days pass by, he ignores my PMs, and now updates his sale thread. GReddy SP = SOLD. FUCK YOU. YOU COULDA MADE MORE MONEY FROM ME YOU ASSHAT. TOO FUCKING LAZY TO FILL OUT ONE FORM FOR INTERNATIONAL ORDER? FUCK. YOU.

Lots of good news. Mom said I could buy the MR2, I pay for everything of course. He just might give it to me. Let's see. I'm switching over to coils, I want to not have my family complain about how low I am, I can adjust to my will. There are two options I'm considering; used Megan Racing coils for 300$, but I'd have to make a 50 mile drive there and back, and I don't think I have time for that. BNIB Godspeed coilsovers straight from Godspeed, 575$. Heard they're worth the money, not Buddy Club or Ksport coils, but it's 575 for brand new coils. This guy is selling a Honda Factory Performance axleback for my car. Not ricey at all, looks great and doesn't sound like a fartcannon. Goes for 325~ new on eBay, selling for 200 picked up. What do.

Depends on what you want more. Do you want the mods on your Civic more, or do you want the MR2 more? I say get the 2 first, cuz it's more expensive and will take longer. Then you can get the mods for the Civic. I'm also super tempted to get my Koni struts for my car, this site that specializes in MR2 parts has a set of 4 on sale right now, $580 shipped. Super good price for one of the best struts on the market. Also, randomly, I took a look at my DA9 as I was walking up to it after work, and I'm like, damn, this car still looks nice. It'll be sad once we sell it, no more little red car in the car port. =\ I kinda wanna get another one lol, maybe as a personal daily/project car. We have an 08 Civic sedan for my brother and I to use, but I don't like it. If my brother doesn't mind, he can take the Civic, and I'll grab another red DA9. Wanting to get a GSR, 5 speed, and do some small mods to it. Lowering springs, good shocks, maybe some minor engine mods, nice exhaust, spiffy up the interior with RSX leather seats and quick release wheel, LEDs where I can. Mine:
GSR:
Looks pretty sexy, always liked DA9s since I got mine. And I love how white wheels look on a red one, dunno why.
[video=youtube;V59Hpt9Mc6A]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V59Hpt9Mc6A[/video]
Oh and just my opinion about coils, but I think a good spring/shock combo is better. Unless you track the car, coils aren't really worth it. Unless, you find a great deal on nice coils, or if you REALLY have to adjust the height every now and then. -

Well, I want to mod my Civic before my Senior year ends in high school. Its high school, I want to show off my shit. Then again, the MR2 is still just sitting there. I have to get insurance and get it registered under my name, which is gonna be freakin hasslesome. If "hasslesome" is a word. I think Im going for the word "troublesome". Imagine how cool it would be to drive a dumped car, with a big ass dent on the passenger rear qurarter panel
Now, you dont need Koni's unless youre going to track the car. Koni's are designed for track use and abuse, which is why theyre so "expensive". The coils I'm going to get are POS coils designed for the modder on a budget, and would instantly burst if used for track.

Holy crap Jun lol, didn't expect to see you on this forum :P I think I know about your DC4, you were gonna swap over your 8000k HIDs from your old Integra to this one, right? Or did your 2nd car get totaled too? D: But I'd love to see pics of your new car, exterior, interior, engine, all of it :D I've actually been good, spent all of winter buying stuff for my MR2 lol. I have a couple boxes of parts just sitting in my room waiting (more like begging) to be put on lol. List is: 94 kouki tail lights and white centre panel 98 leather with red stitch OEM MR2 steering wheel (JDM TYTE Y0) TRD lowering springs, 1.5" drop Single din radio from my dad's 4runner 93 shifter (1" shorter than my 91) with short shift kit and drop plate 93 shift boot TRD ball knob, Razo shift knob, 98 shift knob Shifter bushings to make it buttery smooth What I'm waiting for in the mail, should all be here in the next week or so Cusco rear strut tower bar Lexus/Toyota sport pedals 93 tweeter covers GREDDY SP EXHAUST :) :) :) Then, later on in spring/early summer: 94 front lip, repaint it white Paint NA engine lid white Repaint spoiler and damaged side panel, antenna delete on the spoiler Lol it's a long list, and if you don't know what TRD is, it's almost like the Mugen or Spoon equivalent of Honda, but for Toyotas :D If you want pics I'll gladly repost/post them lol. There is also a crow right outside the window im sitting next to. It's the closest I've been to a crow. Evar. lololl.

wat do you guys think about the show "Wheeler Deelers" my personal fav car haz to be bmw m3. its practical, fast and noisy!
-
Date: Tue, Mar 13 2012 02:38:30
Fast and noisy, yes. Practical..... maybe. The E46 is sexy with an aggressive look but no 4 door sedan..... So that makes the E36 sedan the best. Nice and subtle. But the biggest problems are that majority of the M3s in the California are automatics. SMG is just a fancy auto box. And are driven by dicks of a particular race. BMWs are nice, just over-hyped, over-engineered and generally unreliable =/ Not familiar with the show though. Just saw a few clips about the M3, reminds me of the consumer-report parts of Fifth Gear.
-

M3s are sexy, I started loving them, E46s specifically, after NFS Most Wanted. lol. Also, Colin, you wanted Varrstoens on your MR2, if/when you get it?

Quick question, do those flush-to-hell cars have any rear suspension travel? And what happens when you corner at speed? The fronts look like they'll rub =/ Sorry, hella-functional crowd here.
-
Date: Wed, Mar 14 2012 07:30:45
They pretty much have zero suspension travel, fenders rub all the damn time. I can't imagine how they daily those things. I'm going for hella-functional-but-still-look-good. :]

Pretty sweet Colin :D Get rid of those old school meshies, it's not 1990 anymore lol. You can always just pop on the OEM 93s (what I'm using) until you find a nice set of wheels. That's my plan. Ultimately, I'll have SSR SP1s or Work Meisters on my car at one point, but till then, I'll be fine with stock 93s or some replica stuff. It's just hard to get the right size, stagger and offset for MR2s. Eh, it's ok about the shift knob lol, I can probably find a way to get it myself :P It's not hard to find shift knobs for the MR2, it's just hard to find one that looks and feels nice. Does your MR2 have a short shifter in it? Short shifters in that car are amazing; I gotta get mine installed ASAP. OK AND TODAY, I got a daily permit on my car to take it to emissions testing, and the technician asked me "Is the car front wheel drive or rear wheel?" I was like, wtf r u srs? Uhhh, it's rear wheel drive... Some people don't know what that car is -.- Also also, I stopped at a light, and a person driving a Ford Probe in the opposite direction waved to me. I WAS LIKE, BITCH MY CAR IS AN MR2, NOT A GAYASS FUCKING PROBE. Also also also, revscene meet is tomorrow, and I'm gonna be the stockiest car of them all :D :( [video=youtube;XsbrLhNFjcU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsbrLhNFjcU[/video]

no, not
, these
.
I saw an SMG with 93 stockies..looked pretty good..but I think Im gonna throw on some AP2 (yes, S2000 AP2) rims if I can get them for cheap, theyre actually a pretty nice rim. I want something in x9 or maybe x10, when i get money. I'm going to college next year.
And yeah, it has a short shifter. It sits extremely low, like its almost under the shift boot. Ill take a picture when its not raining.
Also, HAHAHHAA PROBE :pointlaugh:
I know that Civic at 0:08! He's on 8thcivic!
Also, y so many R32's?
And youre going to a meet as a stock car? Boooooo.
jkjk! go have fun :)
Im gonna be rolling to the next 8th meet helladumped but hella stock :) -
Date: Sun, Mar 18 2012 03:55:21
Eh, it's ok, my car will be much nicer for the summer meet :D It'll be kouki-fied, lmao. Lot's of R32s and Nissans overall, you see the MR2 in that video? Near the middle, I think. The Honda section must be big enough for it's own video, there are soooo many modded Hondas running around. In fact, when I was driving to the beach tonight as a test run (in case I get separated tomorrow), I saw about 4 EG hatches, done up, a couple Accords and 3 or 4 Integras. o_O AP2 rims looks nice, but the offsets are terrible, +40 and +60 or something. You'll be rolling hellatucked unless you slap on some huuggeee spacers. Which is a no no. Flush for an MR2 on 9s is about a 29 or so, just to give you an idea on how tucked it'll be.

X9 +22/29's are a really popular size so it seems.. My RSX S rims are x7 +45..so right now I'm pretty tucked, stock height. Might add some 3mm spacers all around and see if it helps. I don't wanna add legitimate spacers, I'm scared of those. I'm actually not sure what the mr2 I lowered on. I'd have to ask. But definitely gonna consider some x9/x10's. Might look into some vsxx or some rpf1s..played out but mehhhh..I'm starting to grow into the multispoke on the mr2. -
Date: Sun, Mar 18 2012 08:09:23
XXR also has some BBS LM reps, and they look incredibly legitimate. They come in x10 too! Best part is that they have lips..and about 130 per rim. That's not bad at all. I think it's wheeldude.com. There's also a local vendor down in LA who has em, so I can pick them up :) Totally forgot about those..
-
Date: Sun, Mar 18 2012 16:04:37
9/10s would mean rolled fenders on the MR2. But having a wide wheel in the rear looks amazing, in something like a 265 tire or something. RPF1s look nice too, but split spoke wheels don't look as good as multispoke or 5 spoke. Idk if you saw, but I plan on getting some Rota D2s for my car. Idgaf what people say about Rotas, if they shatter on me, I'll buy another one, easy.
From that angle it looks kinda weird, but my rears will be more tucked than his. Gonna grab them in 17x7.5 and 17x8.5, and put them in some 215/40 and 245/40 tires. Lowered on springs, add a little camber if I start rubbing, and stance, done. xD The wheels I can get locally pretty cheap ($150 for the 7.5s and $170 for the 8.5s), and I'll probably get the tires from Discount Tire, Yoko S-Drives, about $140 a pop.
Here's a pic of 17x9 rears on 235 tires. A bit stretched, so a 245 should be alright on 8.5s.

Fail stretch. Stretch only works for stances cars. And I also heard Hankook Ventus V12's are good. They're affordable and they're quiet. I'm a concave person, I like concave rims. If you've seen RPF1's in 17x9 +22, then you'll know. Or Varrstoen's in that offset. They look so nice. But those are baller rims. Yes, Varrstoen's are baller rims. And 9/10's require rolling? Really? I assumed that the mr2 would be able to handle that. I mean I can always get a lower offset. -
Date: Mon, Mar 19 2012 05:04:51
And RGII's are nice too. Like I said, concaveeeeeeee.
-
Date: Mon, Mar 19 2012 05:09:04
Haha yeah, the guy got his wheels first, and is getting coilovers after. I woulda done it the other way around too :P And yes, +22 on a 9 would mean rolling. Flush is near +29, people start rolling their fenders at about +26 or so to avoid rubbing. A little camber helps too. I've seen some super concave TEs and Varrstoens, real nice. Anything deep dish with a big lip looks nice too. I'd say you can go 8/9 +30 for front and rear before you start rolling fenders.

DAH! You suck. 1 thing I noticed, you see the same few Subarus over and over again =( Didn't mind seeing that white RS, but that one STi with the unpainted hood.... and fenders..... poor subie. I blame that guy for giving Subarus the "Ugly Car" rep. But there was one car that was really sweet. That Datsun 240 Rally car! -

Hells yeah, the Datsun was awesomeeeee!!! There was a stock 240 next to it too, iirc. There was about half a lot full of Subarus, none of them really eye catching though. It's all the same hellaflush Impreza. It woulda been cool if there was an older one lol. I think there was a 22B there too, idk lol.

I think I might get the 98+ side molding delete (or whatever you want to call it. i need to do research) for the front. I want to rock the OEM clear signals. I think it'll look cleaner. So kaku..if you see a set, lemme know :D Theyre like 120 on ebay. >_> -

Hm, I actually just snagged a set of JDM clear corners for $120 shipped lol. I'll see if I can sell my eBay ones now lol, maybe like $10 for both. The side molding delete is common, and it actually looks nicer imo. I just don't wanna do it cuz then I'd have to put in a side marker on the fender, for Cdn law -.- And the last thing I wanna do is drill holes in the body lol, so I'm keeping it how it is now. It's pretty costly though, assuming your trim is USDM, it'll cost about $130 for both solid sides. Unless you plan on making them yourself, which is totally doable. You can get just the JDM solid sides, but the trim is slimmer and won't match the USDM trim. Unless you can snag a whole JDM trim set, I'd save up for OEM USDM solid sides or make em yourself. And I'll definitely keep an eye out for those for you lol, I helped a friend of mine get a pair for $110. :D If you need me to help you source out parts, I can help too lol. MR2.com's sale section is pretty good, but I can keep an eye on MR2OC's sale section too. Also, got my insurance back on my car, and it's officially on the road now :D Going in to the shop on Sunday to slap whatever we can on it :D Edit: Also just found a thread about headlights and conversions. Found this pic, and I think it's amazingly hot.
It's just a set of Hella 550s and shorter retracting arms for the headlights. It's low rise like Rev6 lights, but about $500 cheaper lol. Cost the guy $140 including bulbs for that, plus a bit of fab work to make the bezel look good. I want, lol.

10 dollars for both? Youre crazy :facepalm: Theyre legit DEPO Brand dude!! DEPO is reputable! and 120 shipped?

@Damnit Im back to Colin The solid side moldings actually don't look too hard, all you really need is body filler and sandpaper. http://www.mr2.com/forums/mk2-body-kits-exterior-modifications/Toyota-MR2-32942-how-make-your-own-solid-side-moldings.html The JDM clear corners are pretty pricey everywhere, anything under $130 is a pretty good deal. And I dunno lol, I'll see what I can sell them for. Maybe $30 for both sounds better? I'll be at the shop on Monday actually, and I'll take plenty of pictures then. :D The lights aren't too high, you should see them when they're stock. It's stupid how high they are.

A few teaser pics before Monday rolls around :P This is what I could basically do in my backyard with no tools. I just HAD to put SOMETHING on the car, so the pedals (2/3) and the tweeter covers went in.
Still gotta do the gas pedal; I need to knock a small pin out to take it off and I don't have the tools or space to do it in the carport. And yes, that's what she said, LAAAAMEEEE.
And then the tweeter covers, pop off the old ones and snap the new ones in. Don't have a before pic, sorriez.

I know that the MR2 parts seem hella expensive compared to Civic parts, but it's mainly because they're discontinued and 20 years old. It's not as popular as a tuning base compared to like, Civics, Integras, 240SXs, all the other JDM tuners. Kinda sucks, but it's how it is =\ As for the JDM black tape eyebrows.. LOL.

Figured I could install the 93 shifter, so that's what I did tonight. Took me about 2 hours including a short test drive with it. I tried attaching the short shifter kit to it, but it wouldn't fit properly. So tomorrow I'll try the drop plate, which lowers the shifter by about a 1/4 inch. Pics of everything ripped out then, cuz I forgot to take them today. End result:
Much better than this one:
And the trunk LED strip, gotta mount it to the underside of the trunk roof tomorrow with some 3M double sided tape:
And the license plate LEDs LOLOLOLOL

I don't get the 93 shifter mod lol..not digging that knob :( Did he make the LED strip as well? Your plate lights are ridikulus LOLOL. You're so asking to get pulled over! -
Date: Mon, Mar 26 2012 05:16:57
The 93 shift lever is just shorter, that's about it.
I would really like the TRD cuz it apparently shifts super smooth, but a 93 will do for now. The knob is ok, I wish it were a bit bigger. But it's the heaviest one I got, so I'm using it for now lol.
He bought the LED strip and just attached the wires to a 194 base, and THE PLATE LIGHTS ARE LOLZ. Pulled over or not, it's awesome in a stupid ridiculous kinda way :P -

Tell me where be bought that light strip!! The trunk light on my civic is ridiculously dull..my phone on mid settings is brighter.. I know eBay, but like exactly which one. Not all SMD LEDs are bright :( And speaking of replica levers..let me express my opinion on replicas stuff. /inb4rant I think replica shit is fine as long as you don't put genuine stickers on it. I will rock Slips as long as I don't put Regamaster Evo stickers on it. I will rock an eBay Mugen lip as long as I don't leave it ghetto polyurethane black or slap Mugen emblems on it. However when it comes to serious shit like engine parts or things that have the structural integrity at stake, I'm not going to risk it. My uncle(the one with the ITRs and shitload of others) designs and sells motor mounts for EKs, EGs, DCs, and BB platforms. Now, in no way are they comparable to Hasport or anything like that, but they're proven to withstand an Supercharged JDMspec B18 and a turboed B16. At 120 a set for aluminum motor mounts that are proven sturdy, I don't mind. However..you don't Always know if they're sturdy or not. Like the Nardi replica steering wheel. Idk if posted a link on that, but that shit bent like fucking butter. A replica lever..well I dunno, I'd debate on that. Cause you know if it snaps while shifting..(especially at the base), then you're pretty much fucked. Replica exhaust and headers..I'd rock it. Replica rims? I'd rock it. Fog lights..I'd rock it. Turbo? Nah. IC, nah. /rant

Totally agree with you on the replica stuff. The only B&M replicas I've heard of had pretty good feedback though. Some replicas are pretty decent. Shine Auto makes replica lips, side skirts, and rear valences for the MR2, and they fit really well. Other replica shit, like Border front bumper copies fit like crap and break on the slightest bump. I've no problem rocking reps, and just like you I wouldn't slap on stickers. I mean like, I'm getting Rota D2s, replicas of the SSR SP1. I've no intention of putting on SSR stickers though, it's real poser. You get what you pay for. I mean like, some stuff is overpriced cuz of the brand name (TRD, Spoon, etc), but there are some good replicas. I'm with you on not skimping on important parts, and before I buy reps I try to find good feedback on it first. Only after I read about how eBay headlights suck did I want to ditch them for legit Cibies and legit Osrams, not some $30 eBay housing and $40 Chinese cheap halogen. Same with the corner lights; I now want authentic JDM corners and OEM style side markers. In fact, I've become a real quality freak lol. The only things replica I'd put on my car would be wheels, wings, side skirts, lips or exhaust. But if the replicas are only a tad bit cheaper than the authentic shit, I'd rather save up a bit more and spend it on the real stuff.

Headlights..meehhh..I'm debatable on them. Like DEPO OEM style I have no problem. Theyre a reputable aftermarket brand. Your headlamps however..they're okay. At least it's not the gay OEM fresnel lens! HIDs are all the same to me unless you have a retrofit. Ive moved from 10k to 6k and I'm thinking of going to 4500, to reduce the blueness. However, I'm still goin to have glare due to the lack of a retrofit. I hate the look but I love the function of legitimate projector headlights. Also, osrams? You're crazy. Theyre expensive like fuck. I will agree with you on the brand name. Spoon, TRD, and MAAAYYYBEEE Mugen parts. Mugen on the newer platforms are actually decently price. A MugenSI shift knob is like 120 new from the stealership.

Progress today! Coulda done more, but, a sliiiigghhht hiccup. lol. First off, dropped off all my parts at the shop:
Now, even though I shoulda done springs first, I just HAD to get the tail lights done. So yeah, before picture:
Took off both tail lights, pretty straightforward:
Then the centre panel came off:
Did a half-ass wipedown of the area and put the mounting brackets on:
For some reason, this part was wavy o_O Took a couple of mallets and straightened it out.
Then the tails went on :D
Here's with the lights on:
Thennn, it was here that I fucked up lol. I decided to close the trunk after I took the lock cylinder out. BAD IDEA. Locked trunk with no cylinder, boooo. Spent 3 hours on and off (my dad had people's cars to fix and service too, lucky it was a slow day) and FINALLY popped it open. Used a coat hanger and stuck it through a hole behind one of the tail lights, then yanked on the latch and it opened. Fuckkk.
During the time waiting for the trunk issue to be solved, I put on the exhaust. First, the old stock one came off:
And here's the GReddy SP on, still had to adjust since it hung like my balls, lopsided:
Also bolted in the Cusco strut tower bar, had to remove the cruise control cable cover to have it fit properly:
And then mounted my LED strip to the underside lip of the trunk:
Put the lock cylinder in, and done for the day!
Product after a day's work:
Wednesday, I'll get the springs in and either do the steering wheel or radio. All the stuff today was pretty much done by myself, all I had my dad do was unlock the trunk, put the alarm switch on the new lock cylinder and extend the reverse light harnesses with some soldering.

Mine doesn't have it..it only has a retardedass faded "00" because my uncle put vinyl stickers on and the paint there faded quicker -__- You getting any power gains with that strut bar and exhaust yet? :trollface: New video. Now. Also, I might sell my coils and beaks bar..there's a guy selling Skunk2 coils for 650 installed..but they're extremely dirty and they're red.. Mine are purple and black, paid 600+80 to install.

Yeah, the MR2 badge is nice. And it's not a sticker either, it's plastic and is raised. :D I totally shoulda done springs first, but I mean like, it was either the springs or tails. So I chose tails :P I'll have a sound clip later on, after I get an air filter in there this summer. Drove with the windows down for part of the drive home, and it has a nice sound to it. A little deeper sounding than stock and only a tad louder. Revved it to about 5000 in the shop, sounded nice too. Can't wait for some highway action! :D No BOV yet lol, I'll put one on after I finish upgrading my turbo and turbo system. It's more of a bells and whistles mod, so I'll reward myself after the turbo and engine is upgraded (JDM OEM CT20b from 3rd Gen MR2s, intercooler, air filter, turn boost up to 15 PSI with an EBC, fuel cut defender and maybe a downpipe) with a BOV. All those mods should add up to about $1300, if I can get the prices I want. Can't you sell just the coils and swap em out with the Skunk2s? Keep the Beaks bar is you can. It's a sway bar, right? As for the trunk -.-

I could..but I seriously want to keep these because they're purple..the purple is a deep candy purple, it'll go well with my light blue scheme :( Beaks bar is one of those more show than go things.

D: I want a GReddy one, just do I'm not all over the place with brands haha. So far it's only Toyota, TRD, Cusco and GReddy lol. If I get everyting I want, Cibie, Lexus and Koni will be added. If I can I'll try to get a GReddy intercooler too, as well as a BOV, to match the exhaust and boost controller :P 15 PSI isn't THAT much more, a CT20b cranks out 9-12 PSI on stock tune, I figured I won't go crazy and stick to a conservative 15. Also, Oteck has convinced me to get a Redline shift boot lol. Get a red stitch black leather one, and it'll match my steering wheel, and shift knob lol. He's also interested in buying my corner lights after I get my JDM ones in, hopefully soon. If you wanna keep your current setup, then do it lol. You can try Skunk2 on another car in the future :P

"dad..I accidentally this engine. I can has 3rd gem swap???????" Greddy or apexi, I'm not sure. I remember an Apexi evac gauge controller screen thing though. Idk. And 15 insane. I mean. Like. I think the mr2 is at like 10. I'm not sure. The boost gauge throws up the number of around 5psi @3500rpms afaik. Redline shit is expensive as fuck. It's like 59$. I have a discount code valid until Friday if you want lol. 10%. The only reason I'm debating is because the dude is selling for 650 installed. Mine comes out to 680 installed from another guy -

$70, shipped. Hells yeah, and they retail for over $200 new, from Japan. Just bought it, shipping out tomorrow. And my corners shipped today, and my Razo knob on Friday. Also found a pair of rear OEM mudflaps. You want? $80 shipped.

Hey, I'm not spending that much lol. Only $250 for a shift knob, JDM clear corners and a short shifter, all authentic! I'm lucky I don't have to pay for rent or school (I pay for my textbooks only), I make just under $2k a month and my priority purchases are car parts lol. I've stopped buying sunglasses, clothes, shoes and electronics pretty much since I got the MR2 :P And $80 is great, compared to how much they are new. $300+ for brand new. THREE FUCKING HUNDRED. The other MR2 guys and I were just talking about how overpriced this shit is at the RevScene meet. -

Oh nothing was at RevScene except for stickers, coffee and hot chocolate; we were talking about how outrageous stuff for the MR2 is. TRD especially (except their springs, $260 for a set is fair), with rear strut tower brace for $400 and the front for $200. And I bet if you found a super rare TRD catback exhaust, it'd be easily $1000 USED.

Kay, HERE THEY ARE SO STFU :D Sorry for the quality, I forgot my camera at home and only had my iPod to take pics with. :( First off, a picture with the lights on at night, as requested by King lol.
Now on to the springs.

Before, in the front:
Struts removed:
Rears:
Fronts:
Ohaidere, TRD springs:
Side by side of the fronts, not much difference, but when installed it's better:
Both my front strut boots were absolutely fucked up, I mean, WTF:
Front installed (didn't get a pic of rear installed):
Almost done! Bleeding the brakes:
Fronts:
Rears:
Done!
Got home, took some pics with my camera. Front clearance:
Rear clearance:
Idk why the fronts are higher, hopefully when the springs settle it'll even out. Yay (sun)
For comparison:

After:
I'll take more pics in a couple weeks after the springs have settled :D -

Already looked at those, Enkei EV5s. Only come in 17x7 and 18x8.5. Bad setup for an MR2, 18s look silly if it's not a widebody. Unless you pull it off right, with some side skirts and big lip or something. Ideal setup without rolling fenders or adding too much camber is 17x7 and 17x8 offset about 35 for both. Hopefully I can go in on Friday or something to get my steering wheel and radio done lol. I can do the clear corners, TRD short shifter and stickers in my backyard lol. Yes, I'm putting on more stickers. Don't hate. Most of them on the underside of the trunk though. You'll see, lol.

So I parked in front of someone's house today while I went to school. First time ever, usually I park in the lot and fork out 3 bucks every time. It's usually fine, everyone does it and the residents don't mind. I come back out and see a note on my windshield. "This is a warning, park here again and I'll have your car TOWED." Nobody else on the whole block had that. So I spit on it and threw it in the yard, lol. Pissed me off. Jealous of a nice car? Get one, don't have others towed. Yes, I realize it's their parking, but EVERYONE else has been parking in their spots since the college opened in the 70s. Sticking to the parking lot from now on, not worth it.

Actually no, there are permit signs everywhere. You can only park there if you're a resident that has a permit on the car. Still, students use it everyday, but none of them are modded like mine I guess. BTW, my car is so low right now, the curb is the same level as the door sill:
Not my car. But the passenger could literally shuffle out of the seat, sit on the curb next to the car and be at the same height. It's ridiculous. And I've already hit my head a few times getting in. Thank goodness for T-tops lol, that won't be happening in the summer.
And those stainless steel door sills, I want. 10th anniversary cars only, offered solely in 1995 JDM models. -

Yes and no. Pros: Subaru(push from Toyota) FINALLY put a Boxer engine a FR layout. SERIOUSLY What took them so long!? Japanese Boxer FINALLY getting direct injection(Toyota Tech) Cons: Slow. 200hp [B]but[/B] only 151lbs-ft torque @ 6600 Hopefully gearing can save its ass. The car is aimed towards neutral handling vs power, but still the torque figure is just pitiful. Makes less torque than a Honda S2k. It has a lot of potential, just hope it lives up to it. Yeah I dun care much for it being called a Scion. -
Date: Fri, Mar 30 2012 19:24:48
I like it being called a Scion, for obvious reasons xDD The horsepower and torque numbers are kinda lame, especially when you consider how heavy new cars are. Lots of fancy equipment like airbags, navigation, motion sensors, the list goes on. I mean, my car has ~200 HP and 224 lb/ft of torque at 3200 RPM, and it's heaps lighter. Unless it's a light car, I don't see how this can go fast. 300 HP and 300 lb/ft torque would sound better. Also, some better pictures of my dropped car:

Supposedly its only going to be ~2600lb not TOO bad, gearing will be the deciding factor. YEAH! Parked next to a N/A 2005 Subaru Impreza 2.5! -
Date: Fri, Mar 30 2012 22:57:55
Wow, that's how much my car weighs. Gearing will be important then. My car has pretty bad gearing, everyone says it shoulda come 6-speed the way the gears are set up. I guess it's more of a tight and technical car rather than open road top speed. And damn, you're good at identifying lol, that car is pretty well blocked by mine.

Date: Sat, Mar 31 2012 00:34:57
I can recognize ugly Subaru mugs from a block away, same way you can probably spot MR2s =P And every manual car should have a 6+ speed. I dun like my 5 speed gearing either.... About your MR2, hard for me to tell, but are your side skirts unpainted? Whats your ground clearance now?

Someone's a quick learner! There's more power in the rear. You want as much surface area covering the ground to utilize that power. Other than that, it just looks good. -

Oh thoseee, lol yeah. Wolfie. I'm gonna try to buy a set of clear toblerone side markers from him, when I feel like bugging him lol. The clear corners on those lights are nice, but all red looks even nicer. Someone is in the process of making them (guess, it's pretty easy, and I've been to his house). And I had that item on my watch list, that exact one. o_O Root admin of BCMR2 got one similar to it, so I just put it on my watch list in case I wasn't able to source out a legit TRD short shifter.

Yeah, Oteck lmao. It's not so much about the JDM bumper, it's more of the JDM side molding. With a bit of work, I'm sure I can make it fit. There's always a way. Haha, on BCMR2. Did you just go to events and click on the forums through there? :P I didn't receive it yet, should be here this week though. Just waiting on that and the Razo knob. Oh, and did you want a TRD ball knob? I got an extra, only test fitted on the shifter once. One of my friends wanted it, but then when I told him I'd sell it for $30 he backed out lol. He's cheaper than me! Ok well, I'm not cheap when it comes to parts, lol. Edit: Shit, that big? Is the MR2 at your place now? Or next time you see it, can you measure the length of the marker? Just the lens part, so I can compare it to my USDM ones. -

Dude he's like the DIY master. Speaking about DIY. I sat in the MR2 last night. He just drove it from next door to our side lol (we own 2 properties, right next to each other). He has LED boards in the dome lights..and theyre too blue for my taste. I prefer something whiter.. He has an apexi turbo timer, this one to be exact..bmp)
Some kind of generic exhaust he ripped off of a parts car..and an eBay front strut bar. NBD, it works.

Well i googled "wolfie308" and he was on BCMR2..so i clicked it lol. TRD ball knob..is it heavy? its the short stubby one, kinda like the 98+ knob right? MY uncle has a sawed off knob lol.Edit: Shit, that big? Is the MR2 at your place now? Or next time you see it, can you measure the length of the marker?

I dont have any good pics on me right now, that's the only usable picture I have of it. HE drove the MR2 home to repair, but I'll probably be downthere next week to get my coils installed on the civic. Yeah, for sure. I actually have a set of torn-up USDM side-markers, the ones that are used to be there until the Toblerone ones were put in. Gonna do some DIY shiet on them. -

Nice, I'm gonna get Oteck to put in some LED boards in my dome lights too, in white :D The TRD ball is actually pretty lame.. all it has going for it is the TRD name lol. It's small, like a golf ball and super light. It's this one right here:
If the toblerones don't match up, I'll just go with OEM style USDM markers.. =\ Toblerones are sexy though.
From what I remember, it looked like your uncle had the Apexi N1 exhaust on the car. eBay front strut bar, that's aight, doesn't make a difference in chassis strength at all lol. Front and rear strut tower bars are just for looks and bling. Ask your uncle if he has a GReddy EBC or an Apexi ACVR he wants to sell :D -

Its some kind of one-outlet exhaust and has RS Racing sports on the tip. It has like a 3" tip lol. It does, however, have the entire canister thing. Idk how to describe. it was 9PM last night. You'd be surprised..he's had an EBC from Greddy lol. And he picked up the strutbar for free lol. -

The brand new 2012 Civics have a much bigger engine, but also produce less horsepower to the wheel; meaning that you wont be able to go as fast and you're wasting more gas. That used Civic is just a regular old Civic with Mugen and other stickers thrown on there. That one has the same engine as mine. I get about 30mpg. Get that. But haggle on the price. -

Haha I dunno, but it woulda taken a lot of work to cram that in there. And yeah, it totally sucked when I put my car away for the winter. I dragged it out as long as I could, but when the rain just got too bad, I had to store it. I would go to the garage it was stored at whenever I felt like looking at it, and just sat it in lol. Kinda lame, but I really do love that car. Also got an HKS FCD today :D Higher boost, here we come! >:] In a year or so though. 15 PSI isn't crazy high, it's about the max on a stock system. My goal is about 275 horsepower, and that can be done with stock fuel injectors. Anything more will need higher flow injectors, and that means worse gas mileage so nuh uh, lol. Stock = 200 HP + CT20b + intercooler + downpipe & exhaust + air filter + 15 PSI = ~270, if I wanted 275 I could drop in some better sparkplugs, but neh, maybe. -
Date: Fri, Apr 6 2012 22:53:00
Wait, so how does your MR2 meter the air and know how much fuel to dump in? Do you really just bolt everything on then its all good to go?
-
Date: Sat, Apr 7 2012 00:03:09
For my mods, they're all bolt ons. The CT20b is just an upgraded CT26, what I got. It's the same air fuel ratio. The CT20b came in 3rd Gen MK2 MR2s and the CT26 came in 2nd Gen. If I went with like, a GReddy or Garrett, I'd definitely need a tune. It's a really simple car, it's not picky like all the newer ones.

Ohh ok then. Thats actually why I asked, coming from the Subie world, you need to retune for just about EVERYTHING.
-
Date: Sat, Apr 7 2012 00:45:24
Yeah, probably cuz Subies have ECUs that detect a change in the system and go batshit crazy with it, so a tune is needed. Also, Supra Twin Turbo wheels on an MR2? Nice or bleh?
They're 17s I think, gotta do some research on them. If they're the right offset and widths, I might pop for a set. -

I did a small writeup on BCMR2 on how to do it, but it's a real simple thing. Just extending a harness and splicing it in. No sketchy crimp and tape though, everything was soldered and heat shrunk. Mainly took all the pictures cuz I was bored lol.
If you guys want, I can copy paste the mini writeup I did on BCMR2 here. -

Wat. How u do dat. Lol..remember being the noob on upsb an writing tutorials on mods? :p I always thought that it was a one bulb light. Unless the JDM ones have two?
-
Date: Sun, Apr 8 2012 16:43:55
Haha, I show you. Simpo.
Spoiler
First off, you can kinda see the hole where there isn't a bulb in place in the lens.
Luckily, the guy I bought my JDM corners from also included the JDM harness, which I took out and stuck my USDM one in the lens instead.
First thing I did was take the corners off, and got behind the fender liner and took the side marker bulb out and brought it to the front.
Then I cut up the protective.. layer thing.
Cut the wires and stripped them.
Also like to point out that part of the frunk makes a great work area to stash your tools and whatnot :P
Then I soldered the original side marker bulb back onto the harness, then spliced in 2 pieces of extra harness wire. The cloth is there so I don't mess up my paint when I put the heat gun on the heat shrink, just in case.
Cut the JDM harness, and soldered the socket to the extended spliced in wires.
Taped it all down so it's nice and tidy.
Put the sockets back into the lens, and put the original side marker bulb back in place.
Re-assembled.
And done, final lighting.
Had to decide between a clear bulb or an amber one, but chose to run a clear one in the end. It's not a signal light, so it should be legal. Correct me if it's not and it'll be changed to amber :P
Yeah, mini write-up haha. :] -

You're right, there are no such things as manual transmissions in N America =P Its an auto, worst part of the car. Handles exceptionally well for an SUV. And thats with the new FB25 motor, that Toyobaru hybrid. With that said, the BRZ/Scion *shudder* should have some punch. Should, because the FB25 has 20 lb/ft of torque on the FB20 and assuming the FA20 has the same characteristics.

wat Okay..so I just spent like another 20 bucks on my car :facepalm: Getting LED DRL's..maybe. Getting ridiculously bright LED plate lights (20smd 360* bulbs) Black steering wheel emblem (I have a white one..looks weird) And possible a lower tie bar, that's funcitonal. The Beaks bar was more looks than function. I know this guy who's selling em for like 60..ish. kinda. free engraving. getting a pedobear engraved :D -
Date: Mon, Apr 9 2012 06:19:08
Plate lights..dont look so impressive afterall :facepalm:
Torn between:
120smd led (lots of LED's, but theyre puny as fuck)
Or a 30smd 5050 led (biggest SMD led's, but only 30)
Of course..I will lose my high beam privledges.
I dunno. I think they look sick.. -

Also..got a bigass shipment in today. Well. It was a good day. Gots my Illest license plate frames. Gonna sell these for 50 a pop. bought for 8.99 each +7$ shipping.
Got my LED's in today too. 20SMD LED's for plate lights.

Is the whole lighting up the back license plate legally required or do you do it for the looks? I bet that stuff makes hit and run really hard to do.

Date: Tue, Apr 10 2012 22:18:03
You need to have lights on your plates, but bright ones like those are just for looks. Also, having electrical nightmares with my car UUUUGGHHH After the radio install, gauges don't work. Then, after a gas stop today, radio blew, and the clock doesn't turn on. Heater fans don't work at all, same with the trunk light and dome lights, and the intercooler fan turns on when the key is on ACC. Dome light fuse is blown. Hazard lights turn on when I open the door, and the clicking noise happens whenever the key is on but the lights don't flash. ALL CUZ OF A FUCKING STUPID RADIO. T____T Can't drive the car till I get this sorted out. Well I can, it's just unsafe to.

Which I'm fine with, I'll probably upgrade my main speakers to ones with good bass anyways. Just gonna drive around for a couple days with no radio and 5 panels or so taken out :P ZOMG COLIN I LURVVVV YOUR DOME LIGHTS. I wish Oteck would hurry up buy more so I can have similar lighting :]

I'll see how it is without a woofer. I don't really have the music loud in my MR2 anyways, car's too noisy anyways.

I need bass man. Seriously. Bass-less music is so dead. Ffs even classical music has bass. You need a BOV!!!! Get an eBay one. 10 bucks. or 20. Same ish. Throw it away or sell it for 5 bucks when youre done. Make your own using your own LED's. The one's on ebay are too blue. Its gross. -

Eh. If I feel that I don't have enough bass, I'll probably just upgrade my main speakers to something with more bass. I don't need thundering loud bass lol. NO BOV YET. Engine is still stock, and I already said that when I'm done my engine mods I'll top it off with a nice HKS or GReddy BOV. :P Joe's LED board is perfect though, and it's only $5 if I buy from him and have him install it.

I'm not gonna disagree with you. Why? Cause I do have difficulty handling situations as is. And I'm not butthurt, I wasn't mad, just felt like he should've thought about what he said before he said it. I dunno, youre right. and itll take like 5 bucks to fix that lol..just a touch-up pen.

But for srs though. I need to control my actions and what I say and what I do better. Everything I do lately has been impulse. As soon as I heard them say that shit, I didnt get mad. They parked before I did and left to their homie's house I'm assuming. I walked inside the post office, and waited in line. I left my packages ont he table, went out, keyed the guys car and went back inside. I was paranoid, realizeing that I fucked up. I post that shit on Facebook and 8thcivic, thinking "holy shit I'm so down". Then recieving Kevin's comment on facebook, and many more "responsible" responses on 8thcivic. "Does being 17 mean you can act immature? When I was 17 I didn't need a forum to tell me to respect other people's property irregardless of context. Just don't touch other people's sh!t. Plain and simple. If you feel offended to the point where you need to vandalize someone's car then you're not a car enthusiast. Chances are you can't handle the real world anyway. Good luck." "Did you really do that? How awesome do you feel now? You are what's wrong with society. :facepalm: " "whats wrong with you :facepalm: 1) Now you are a target 2) They just said something, didn't physically do anything to you or your car you should've just let it be, there are stupid people out there, but if you do stupider ishh then that doesn't make you a better person." I think a lot about my future but never the actions at hand. I need to get my shit together and grow the fuck up.

Good news is, I can finally get an Alpine unit like I wanted :D Or maybe Kenwood. Hmmmm. Alpine, since I wanna upgrade to their Type S speakers one day too.

Nah, I could always use more low. Only problem is, only springs that lower more are Tein S techs, and those will blow my shocks instantly. Or H&R springs, but those only drop .1" more than the ones I have now. Not worth it. Not gonna cut these springs either lol. I just wish the wheels had better offset.

DIY SRI
(basically hacked up stock intake, a coupler, clamps and a cone filter)
Need to reset the ECU so the CEL doesnt pop up. Need radio code >__<
Debating whether or not to get an SI axleback. Not looking for loud, looking for a little deep tone in my 3.5k+ revs when I hop onto the freeway. Havent driven with the SRI yet.. -
Date: Mon, Apr 16 2012 01:09:35
Nice SRI lol, I gotta get my filter in whenever money allows lol. I thought California was super strict with emissions? Won't an axleback fail emissions? Or is your car 'green' enough to pass with it? lol, environmentz.

Oh yeah, got the Scoobie back last Wednesday. It was quick before, HELL of a lot quicker now. Back to stage 1 tune, smoothed everything out. I'm very happy =D ...my passengers, are not. And as for CA(lifornia) admissions, legally unless its CARB approved we can't add it on OEM should be fine. An Axleback won't fail admissions. Its just a muffler change. Its just noise. Touching a working catalytic converter is a federal offense. Removing that is best way to can fail an emissions test.

What the fuck? Really? And technically my SRI would be illegal..right? It has an aftermarket filter on it. Its still using the OEM part..just hacked up. Im confused :? -
Date: Mon, Apr 16 2012 03:44:12
Yep. Can't wait til I'm 100% catless. And I just figured out that SRI=short ram intake. Thought it was some Honda thing... ie SI, SIR, etc. Technically, yes. It is illegal, because CARB did not approve of YOUR intake... but I doubt you'll get much crap for it. I mean its illegal to have ANY tint on the front windows Cali and we see that all the time.
-
Date: Mon, Apr 16 2012 04:17:10
Pfft, I'm sure you'll be fine unless they open the hood during emissions testing. They don't do that here, dunno if they will in CA. If it's illegal to remove a cat, is it illegal to remove it and replace it with a high flow cat? Luckily, Mk2 MR2s have 2 cats, one primary and one secondary, and I can technically pass emissions here with just the secondary if I wanted to, given I have no other engine mods :D
-
Date: Mon, Apr 16 2012 04:46:47
Yep, pretty much. And they do here, remember: The shadier, the better. By the books, its illegal to remove a WORKING cat. Hard for people to prove it was working so theres a loophole. But you're in the land of Canada! I have NO idea what Canadian smog laws =P Your MR2 might be fine with with 1 cat since it has an EGR system(helps reduce NOx), just don't quote me on it. I know my WRX needs both cats after the turbo to break down the NOx, no EGR. Yeah, I read up alot on cars. I should be doing homework/work =/
-
Date: Mon, Apr 16 2012 04:54:36
Emission laws in BC are alright. As long as you keep the NOx, CO2 and one more gas (forget what) emissions under a set amount at 40 kmh and at idle, you can pass. One guy has an MR2 with a full exhaust system, no cats, and he passes cuz he's running an EMS.

-
Date: Mon, Apr 16 2012 22:32:40
As much muscle cars are nice, loud and eye catching, they simply just guzzle gas too quick. Those 6 or 7 litre engines just have the worst gas mileage. Unless you can afford the gas, I say go for the Civic. It's brand new, has a lot of nice features that those muscle cars don't have and it's waayyyy better on gas. It may not garner as much attention as you want, but it's the better choice for a daily driver, IMO.

Im gonna agree with you. It feels pussy to drive automatic :facepalm: I still drive auto only cause my parents dont want me to become a drag racer or some shit. I was fixing my right rear brake light..it was blown; the socket didnt work. Parking lights worked..but when I steppe don the brake it just totally died.

On the way I hear a boost leak.... after waiting 2 hours for a freaking oil change and getting a tire rotation even when I specifically said not to! I come back to the dealership a few hours later to rotate the tires back. Oh yeah I found the leak. My inlet clamp decided to loosen itself, but my finger is pointing to the mechanic at Subaru when they changed my uppipe. Oh yeah, probably same said guy forgot to reinstall 2 of the intercooler bracket....

Lip acquired today.
It's not too bad at all. The guy made it seem like the scrapes on the underside were bad, and they're only minor. Just sucks that this will have to go on after I get my paint job done. I really wanna rattle can it and attach it, but my dad says that since it'll be stripped down again for the real paintjob, it's not worth it. I'll still try to sucker him into letting me :P -

Dude, thats a rally technique, seriously. Agreed, rattle-can or leave it off.

Date: Mon, Apr 30 2012 07:12:36
Leaning towards rattle can. More work afterwards, sanding down what I painted PLUS the original paint, but hey, it's not really work if you're having fun doing it, amirite? :D Now to just buy the lip retainer for it so it'll fit properly and not sag like old tittehs.

FACK FACK FACK FACK FACK FACK FACK FACK! Turbo inlet hose that was loose and I had to tighten.... ripped at the boot. Downpipe that connects to the turbo, was loose.... mother fuckers. Smoke and rubber smell.... torn CV boot. If I find out the CV boot was melted because of the leaky exhaust and they don't fix it.... I'm calling Subaru of America. @kaku what the hell are those bulb shields on there for anyways?

Date: Tue, May 1 2012 18:51:32
So I assume you're never gonna take your Subie to the dealership again? :lol: And the shields are to reduce glare, I assume. But they're fog lights, low to the ground, it's not like I'm gonna be blinding anyone. So they came off :D Edit: Also been wanting an S14 lately, the koukis. Yes, for drifting LOLOL. Shit looks so fun.
I MEAN, COME ON. Personally I'd fit a less aggressive kit on, but still. Stock body looks kinda lame though, too high off the ground. -

Haha, gotta love Japanese instructions. I would mess around in a parking lot, but my car has no power steering and I don't know what would happen haha. And sure, you can borrow my lift, just head on up to Vancouver :lol: Also, my car just rolled over 180,000 km yesterday :( I think that's like, 110,000 miles? Sucks :(

Happi Birthday MR2? Can't be that bad, I mean once you get rolling front tires just want to track and power steering becomes intrusive if anything. JUST DO IT! *peer pressure*peer pressure* And yeah no more dealerships... just got my subie back... PCV sensor not plugged in correctly causing mini intake leak. And my boost guage hose ripped. But CV boot wasn't melted off... normal wear and tear. Fuck. Stole some duct tape from work to do temp repair job. Sent from my DROID2 Global using Tapatalk 2

Lol birthday. Some other people on the local forum have crazy high numbers. One person has 346,000 km on it! I mean, holy shit! lol. Also, had a coffee meet today, and I got to be a passenger for a joyride in this car here:
It's the V6, and man, words cannot describe how it was, but I'll do my best. He starts from a stop in 2nd, otherwise the wheels would just spin and he'd leave 11s. Going through the parking lot, I was like, eh, kinda tame. Then when we get to an industrial road, he fucking RIPPED IT. SURPRISED THE SHIT OUT OF ME. The torque, just fucking threw me back into the seat, my head snapped back and I'm sure the seat tilted back too. It was just, incredible. I could literally feel all my organs moving back towards my spine, holy shittt. I need to take a video next time, shit was absolutely insane. Stock motor too, from a Rav4. Just headers, exhaust and an intake. Fucking incredible. My heart was beating for a good 20 minutes after I got out of that car. -
Date: Thu, May 3 2012 18:08:43
Damn thats it? How big is the motor? How much torque is he putting to the wheels and hows it compare to your boosted 4 cylinder? Sent from my DROID2 Global using Tapatalk 2
-
Date: Thu, May 3 2012 20:16:29
It's a 3.5 L motor, makes about 270 ft/lb of torque. He tells me that he puts it in 3rd and leaves it there for city driving. About 216 HP to the wheels on a Mustang dyno, but when you got that much torque on a 2500 lb car, it goes. And it makes my boosted 4 cyl feel like a shopping cart, there is just no comparison. Instant throttle response, whereas in the turbo, there is a bit of lag before the turbo kicks in.

Nah..needs moar close. I dunno, I dont really like that picture :\ Been MIA for a week..seems like forever, so here's some updates. Got my SI exhaust in the mail, gonna sand it down and polish it. Threw on my SI stockies..got tired of the Type-S. And may I say it looks far better in person; the grey is a light gunmetal and compliments my paint very well. Sanding down my SI grille to paint. Coils going in..next week hopefully..hopefully..goddamn uncle de, hurry up and finish fixing your garage :( (Automatic Civic trying to be like an SI. Might as well throw on SI emblems. LOL just kidding.) ill just quote the post i had on 8thcivic. Flower powers!
Always something wrong with my car, though.
Shop painted my mudguards.
Camber wear..on stock suspension. (left side of the tire)
Lug nuts stick out :(
I have a punctured tire on one of my SI rims..so Im driving like this for the time being :facepalm:

Date: Mon, May 7 2012 03:04:05
Hm, I like the Type S a bit more, for some reason.. Idk lol. Get coloured lugnuts! :lol: And I forget, but did you sell the Beaks bar or keep it? AND WHEN IS THE MR2 YOURS?! I can't wait for more pictures of that, SMG is a hot colour :D And speaking of MR2s, today's weather was nice enough to get in a good wash and wax. Haven't waxed it since I stored it for winter and man, shit looks hot. Sudsy, mm.
Notice the front license plate frame :D
Waxed the car in the garage so the sunlight won't mess it up, blaring my new k-pop addicted song :lol:

Everyone's been telling me that. I kinda like the SI more..a little more aggressive. Then again, 4x4 aint aggressive lol.. I was gonna get black lugs..but theyre too expensive.

That's a pretty lip, looks great. Keep it. And sheesh man, if I made a mod list, it'd be decently big. And I didn't even touch the engine yet! And speaking of lips, I got mine sanded down and primered today, just gotta wait for the primer to completely dry. Gonna hit up a local place tomorrow and see if they can mix me a can of paint. I want it the same colour as the car. If my dad can get the lip retainer from Toyota soon, the lip should be attached on either Sunday or Monday. Most like Wednesday though, if I wanna do more layers. Gotta clear coat it too. I'm thinking of putting a garage door lip under that lip too, to protect it from scrapes and stuff. Plus, it'll be different :D -

Those are called Mugen GP's. You'd have to get it custom painted for them to be black. Theyre about $2,000 a set, without tires. Copypasta from my FB Angry mom in an Accord backing up in SG parking lot, and honks at the cars behind her because she couldn't get out. Okay, no big deal; stupid Asian driver. She somehow ends up next to me on New, and she wants to merge in front of me, I wouldve let her if she signaled. While I was driving at 25mph, she fucking turns into my lane (from a standstill) and SHE honks at ME. We turned into the street, she slows down and pulls up behind me and starts swerving all over the street yelling "duma duma", honking, turning on her highbeams, and throwing up gang signs or something. I was cracking up so hard Also, @kaku, what grit sandpaper did you use? Black Supras are nice. Their engine bay was hella nice. The flutter was like. FWOOtwotuffffffff. I want the guy's HID's..theyre so white. THAT IS WHAT I FUCKING WANT. NONE OF THIS XENON WHITE BULLSHIT. :banghead: :headwall: :handface: -

@Colin 400 grit sandpaper. I wanted 600, but my dad told me 400 is enough. Haha those HIDs are sick. Gotta be projectors, and most likely a high wattage bulb, like 100w or something, at least. Painting the lip, I was like, huh, I'm not too bad. When it dried, I was like WHAT THE FUCK, THIS IS SHITTTT. Gotta do a layer or two more, then it'll be okay :D I hope.

Love the Subaru community. 2 seconds after parking at a convenience store, a plain jane white Subaru Forester parkes next to me. We just start talking about each others cars for the next 10 minutes. Older guy too, not some fanboy kid like at the auto store. After I replace my radiator(broke something when installing Turbo Inlet) I want these:
REAL FUCKING FOG LIGHTS!
Mean 'ol setup. Then mudflaps, turning it into a rally car!
Power-wise, I'm currently happy with my stage 1 tune. So much for being a "I will never mod car". HA! -

Dude those fog lights are legit. Hella tight. Civic, looks like Varrsteons, lip, coilovers, red emblem, window visors and most likely an exhaust. Nothing too drastic, but clean xD Looks like side mirror relocation too, but idk, gotta look at a stock one first. Yeah, this lip is just a temporary job, I could really care less about the final product lol. I mean, I ran out of the off-color Toyota white paint and got some Nissan white paint xD Close enough, my other panels don't match, whatever :P But at the same time, I want it to look decent :P I'll probably just sand over tomorrow with 400 again and call it a job done haha, looking at having it all installed on Friday.

The good! Lip painted, deciding whether I should clear coat it or not.
And I'm gonna bomb the inside of my trunk lid with stickers, what's gonna go in tomorrow:
And then there's the bad.
Some idiot at the McDick's doesn't know his car has mirrors, which in turns fuck my MR2 up. He's turning in to the drive thru, and stops. I'm like, ok, whatever and stop behind him, like a good 4 or 5 feet. He stays there for a good 20 seconds, and I just sit their patiently. He then decides he can't make the turn, so he backs up. I'm like, ok, lots of room. When he gets like, 2 or 3 feet away, no brake lights, I'm like, OK fuck, he's gonna hit me. Lay on the horn, and the fucker still hits me. Rides his car up my bumper like the wedge that my 2 is. THEN he realizes, oh, there's a car behind me. I'm fucking fuming at this point, and when he gets out, I say to him: YOU SEE THAT? THAT'S A MIRROR. DO YOU KNOW HOW TO LOOK INTO IT? Fucking idiot. And then he goes off and calls my car old, it's ok. And then I really lose it. I say to him "KAY, I'M A HARD WORKING 20 YEAR OLD WITH A PART TIME JOB AND SCHOOL, AND PAID FOR THIS CAR WITH MY OWN MONEY. INSURANCE COSTS ARE CRAZY, BUT I DEAL WITH IT SINCE THIS CAR IS A FUCKING GEM. YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THIS CAR MEANS TO ME." Get his insurance info, plate number, DL number, all that jazz. Thing is, I was going on a McD run for my coworker, and I ended up late to work cuz of this shit. Which was understandable to my super, fortunately, and first thing she asked when I walked in was "Are you OK?" Still, ruined my day. And I had just got my new phone too. Didn't get McDicks in the end, and the coworker has been banned from making McD runs phone calls xDD
/rant
Anyways, on to the damage.
This is where the fucker's exhaust tip gouged my bumper since he didn't know what a brake pedal is either.
Not a whole lot bad, but I'd rather not deal with this shit. Now my lip installation will be postponed until I get the car damages estimated, May 23rd. Fuck this old asian FOB guy, sitting on my MR2 and shit. With his fuckin car. -

Haha well, the trunk in the front (frunk -.-) has the spare tire and is kinda dirty. I just keep my detailing stuff in there lol. Shammy, interior wipes, wax, clothes, etc. First, trunk:
Then I decided that I wanted to paint the other spots white, so the stickers would look better
Before
Masking and taping
And painted
But, when I took the paper and tape off, it pulled off the BCMR2 and part of the silliest sticker. I had another silliest sticker to put in, but no BCMR2 in black =\ Oh well, I'll snag some at the next coffee meet. And, that trunk, is fucking HEAVY.
Car looks funny without a trunk :P

Got super bored today, so after the rain let off for a couple hours, I went into the garage and installed the shifter drop plate.
It's the white thing in this picture.
You can kinda see it here, in between the base and the cup thingamajig.
And I love how low it sits :D
Shifts a lot smoother too, not as notchy, and I think the shifter cables will last longer too, since the linkage point is dropped and not as stressful on the cables. Throw is a touch longer, but it's ok. :D -

Yes, total control. Exiting a corner with the tranny in 4th sucks. Highest I want is 3rd. But to be completely honest, make sure you want/can live with a manual. I've chatted with people in class who got a manual because it was "cool" or some other factor. They hate it. But like your brother and us, loves cars, likes to drive fast, be in control of the car. We dread driving automatic. Automated manuals are just as bad. -

I drove my mums car recently. An auto commodore wagon. The car doesnt actually go when you put the pedal to the floor. it hesitates for a second, then decides it has to shift down, then it goes. So shit, i hate auto... I replaced my headlight globes last night, i'm probably going to give the covers a solid polish or just replace the whole thing. I'm also thinking of replacing my interior lights with some LEDs to give it some sex appeal. exhaust and air intake...i'm still considering it...

AHhhh Killed a Merc around a corner =) So getting on a freeway on ramp. Taking it WAY too fast as usual and passing a lowly Nissan Altima around the outside lane in third. This time, notice a set of headlights behind me, as any sane person would I hit the gas a little harder. At the end of the on ramp I apex the corner, the headlights continued wide... too wide. Outside of the median. At the end I'm already at around 4000rpm, in boost range, I pin the throttle. Merc could not catch up..... ...Until I hit 110mph @ 3mpg. Merc creeps forward. I just had to reconfirm the fact that Subarus hit a wall at ~100mph due to the AWD and BAD aerodynamics =P

Ok so, in these uni holidays coming up, i'm planning on making some tweaks to my ride. Things i'm DEFINATELY going to do: piss off the aerial, its stuck so ill either force it back in the car or break it off trying. rip off the side steps, because i want to. headlight units, HIDs? they are illegal here though... spare tyre cover Maybe's Replace interior lights dash lights to? depends if i can figure out how to do it all. 2in straight pipe and air intake. depending on prices. which i might find out this weekend if i have time. Future when my tyres need replacing maybe chuck some 17s on it. but that depends on how much of an increase tyres are between sizes. i'm not spending over $200 a tyre... tint the fuck out of it. lower it? should be interesting....

Went to the exhaust shop today. it will be $350 for the exhaust system. i cant get extractors. and $150 for the ait intake. a lot cheaper than what i expected so ill probably get it. i thought of another idea..tinting my tail lights. It would look good but im not sure if its legal. ill ask around. yeah? or nah?

Tinting tail lights is meehhhh, you gotta do it right for it to look right. I forget if I mentioned this already, friend has a dark CSX with a CF trunk and tinted lights, looks good. And $350 for a brand new exhaust is cheeeaaapppp, MR2 ones usually cost about $700 new, up to $2000 for the serious stuff.

Moar stickers came in, so I continued to rice it up.
Butttt, I didn't sand the top left panel very well, and didn't seem to do it at all to the top right, so paint kinda peeled. Wasn't able to put the lolface and Redline one on =\
Was able to kinda fix it with a hair dryer, still ugly if you look at it up close though.

Side steps are now gone!!! looks soo much nicer. I got a new idea to. i might get new struts since im carrying heavy loads for work and they are pretty shot anyway. so i would firm up the rear. this could involve a 30mm drop... sounds tempting. not sure what to do with the front though. i would have to drop that to anyway. but i dont really want to make the front too stiff. Also, car will be booked in soon for my exhaust and air intake. Soon.

Downpipe get!
Berk 3" downpipe, gets rid of the primary cat, increases turbo response. Apparently you can feel it kick in harder, we'll have to see. It's gonna be a bitch to put in though, gotta take the oil cooler out, detach the diff, some more stuff lol idk. Can't wait though, plus it's gonna sound nicer :D
Also, FR-S showed up to the coffee meet tonight. It's the owner's company car. Like wtf, no fair D:
And some random pictures of about 15 MR2s total lol.
Also, we might get this car and sell the old DA. Kinda sad, but eh, it's gonna go soon anyways.
2000 Integra, 146,000 km on it. For some reason he has red LEDs in the footwells, idk about those =\ But it looks decent. Wouldn't mind having that for a daily :D And if we do get it, I'm gonna try really hard to convince my dad to let me put lowering springs on it loooool. LOOK AT DAT WHEEL GAP. -

Date: Thu, Jun 7 2012 07:16:19
Dude, totally jealous of that downpipe. For us WRX-er a downpipe is our "stage 2" mod. And if its anything like our gains, you'll see a nice jump in power. Just run catless dude. Would you need a tune after installing it? And I keep hear shit on the BRZ/FRS, mainly powerwise. Hows the owner liking it?
-
Date: Thu, Jun 7 2012 07:54:42
No tune, just install and go. I would run full catless, but emissions laws don't let me. The secondary cat in the b-pipe is enough to pass emissions, as long as the car is running fine. But when they scrap the emissions program in 2014 for non-commercial vehicles, I'm going full catless >:] The owner likes it, said it's great fun to drive. But he opted for the automatic transmission one, which made me sad. Apparently, it shifts faster though, and it revs like crazy. 5th and 6th are cruising gears o_O But it's a neat little car, kind of a tight fit for all 6'1" of me (plus the seat was too far forward, but I don't like it when people fuck with my perfect seat position, so I showed him the same respect :P), but it's pretty cool. The engine bay is littered with Subaru branding everywhere haha, it's like our two worlds have joined :P Oh, and the oil filter in the thing? In plain view, a five year old can get it out lol.

:O
Looks sickkkkk lol. Now if only you had a lip that didn't fit like crap :lol:
Also, downpipe went in today :D It was a pain in the ass though. Not hard or anything, just tedious and time consuming. Ugh. lol. Took me 6 hours LOL
First, had to take off the strut tower bar, some intercooler piping, the oil filter, the dip stick neck and the heat shield.
Then took the O2 sensor out of the stock downpipe/cat.
Everything that needed to be off:
Comparison of the stock DP and the Berk DP. The stock one is at least 3x heavier, it's stupid heavy. Plus not as shiny xD
No downpipe here.
This is the pipe loosely fitted up.
And a shot from underneath, this time all securely bolted in place.
Put everything back on, under tray went back on, and back on the road :D Sounds beast, did a small 3rd gear pull and there is definitely a better turbo response. Yay ^_^

Date: Mon, Jun 11 2012 08:39:58
Hm I was thinking of that too, but my dad told me it's $140 I could set aside for the paintjob. =\ I'll try to convince him again tomorrow :P Plus, if I do get it, I gotta find a place to put the gauge. I'm not big on drilling holes into my A-pillar. Edit: It's this kit here, btw http://www.revscene.net/forums/669364-fs-plx-dm-5-wideband-o2-kit-sensor-display-module-f-gauge.html And would I need to cut a hole into my exhaust to fit the sensor, or can I use my current O2 sensor hole? It's on the downpipe.

On another note, got my 2in straight exhaust!!! Goddamn it sounds so good. nice and mean. It gets me erect. $325 later so not too bad. But I didnt get the air intake because they didnt have any filters. So i'm going to buy one myself and get my bro to help me install it. Its got the nice, freshly welded smell haha.

Lol, that STi is pretty much all stock. I think he just has a super loud exhaust on it, and lowered. And the intercoolers are side mounted.
Air comes in through the vents on the pass side of the car. People who don't like it there go for a top mount or trunk mount. Heat soaking is apparently terrible in this car :P

Nice :D LEDs are fun to play around with :P Also, today, I went to get some clay bar and a brush for my wheels, and I come back out to my car, and there's a shopping cart against it. My car is all alone, closest car is like half a dozen stalls away. Fuckin' assholes. Luckily little damage, just a nick on the door handle bezel thing. -.-

I don't get it. But it's not even mine, it's my dad's. I tried to convince him that the Prius is a huge rip off...he DOES get >50 MPG, but there's no point because it's a $25,000 car with the quality of a $15,000 car. And if the average American spends $2000 on gas each year then it will only pay itself off after 5 years...but that would only make sense if the car didn't need to be refueled at all. But it does. Also it does fuck all for the environment since the electrical charge in the battery is generated from burning petroleum anyways. -

Its a little thing in the Subaru boards, think of it as "enjoy your boring Prius". Don't get me started on the Prius. Just don't, like you I can dish out more dirt on the Prius than the brainwashed pamphlet reading new-age hippy environmentalists can defend it -

Wow..I've been MIA for a coupe of weeks and something like this happens.. Im sorry Dalton :( Lots of uneducated drivers out there.. Anyway..lots and lots and lots of updates.. First off, I completely dumped my rear. Running no perch/lock rings, and strut was the same. Annihalated my lip, quarter panel. Got them rolled.
My QP..
Still rubbed..offset was too crazy for me.
Got a camber kit installed..Godspeed (shut up..I wasnt gonna dish out 300$ for a Junk2 or Buddy Crap camber kit)
Took it to somewhere to get it installed..had no idea how to do it LOL. 50$ aint bad.
Maxxed out though..too much for me.
Threw the perch back on, no lock rings..also adjusted my camber. MUCH better.
Went for a photoshoot on some random hill..pictures are yet to come, but here's some teasers..
It pays to play..fender liner rubbed off. Inside that fenderliner is my gas line..smh
Got some ridiculously stupid bright 7.5w LED reverse lights..25$ picked up from iJDMTOY. Was the guinea pig for them..whatever lol. Love them.
Most recent updated..my Racing Hart C2's.
OG JDM 3 piece rims..they cost as much as CCW's back in the day..
Need to refinish them, but whatever. Ill have them on before Infamous (Canibeat x Hellaflush) show :) :) :)
:phew: Updates..finished. Also, I threw on some stickers..
DONT BE A THUMBASS
and
the bold Illest sticker..lemme see if I can find it. Its on instagram. I think.
Got a ILDS license plate frame too :D
Anndddd....I think thats it.

@UEDan Yeah for sure, clay bar is pretty dope. My paint is just really beat up and dirty, so the more fine details I couldn't get out. A polish would probably do that, but no point in that if I'm gonna repaint it anyways lol.
-
Date: Wed, Jul 4 2012 02:32:27
The MR2..kinda died. Idk whats the status on it :( And thanks Dalton ^__^ The lug nuts were kind of a safety precaution lol..I was going deep into LA (Koreatown, known for stealing a LOT of shit_..so I figured I'd use like three different lugs :p As for the paint, I recommend getting a lower grade claybar..Ive used a professional grade claybar on my car..and I have to say that I have NEVER seen my car look that shiny and smooth. Seriously.
Get the medium grade claybar from Detailed Image
http://www.detailedimage.com
Yes, their stuff is pricy, but it is good stuff, no doubt.
When I went to get my fenders rolled..the guy lived here.
Also, I fucking love this picture. Phone quality ftl.
Bumps are only allowed after 72 hours:
Im kind of a detail freak now..I dont detail often (only done it once), but when I did, I bought the good shit.
DetailiedImage Claybar
Poorboy's World Clay lube
Poorboy's World EX-P polymer sealant
Meguiar's Ultimate Wax (Polymer)
Sheepskin wash mitt
California wiper blade
All in all..around 100$~ worth of car wash stuff..very meticulous about my detailing.
I swear by Polymer shit because caranuba wax..is wax. And Wax melts under heat. Meaning after a few days, your wax will burn/melt off..resulting in a short-lived shine. That's from what I remember. -
Date: Wed, Jul 4 2012 03:55:30
Detailing is fun lol, makes you appreciate your car more. When it shines, you're like, sweet jesus that's hot shit. The thing about waxing.. eh, can't be avoided. Fellow MR2 owner uses Collonite though, and it looks fucking amazing.
I'll probably look into that later on, but waxing will do for now. In terms of detailing, I use:
Mother's Claybar Kit
Mother's Wax
Simoniz Car Wash and Wax 2-for-1 (lol)
Simoniz Rim Cleaner with a short handle soft bristle brush
TWO BUCKETS, SON
Mother's Aluminium and Metal Polish for exhaust tips and engine bay parts (work in progress lol)
Generic wash mitt lol
Some shammy thing, gotta get a wiper blade to try out
Luckily the MR2 is small, so if I really work hard at it, a full wash, wax and claybar only takes about 4 hours. Lol, only. Usually let the car dry for at least a couple hours before waxing.
Oh and Colin, I showed my mom your car, and she likes it xD She said she's not into 'Mickey Mouse cheesy cars', but yours apparently has a great ride height, flushness and the wheels fill up the arches real well. Lawl. -
Date: Wed, Jul 4 2012 04:30:21
LOL :rofl: You showed my mom your car? Glad she likes it, tell her thanks :D :D You use two buckets son? I did that ONCE. Too much work bruh.. Gonna wash my C2's and polish them tomorrow :woop:. Four hours of polishing my lips..woooo Also, here's some random pictures.. Me being a dumbass..

95 Prelude SRV (or SIR, in America). VTEC, under 100k miles (166k km), only slightly lowered and an air filter. Get rid of the tacky lights, new seat covers, BAM! Minty-ass Mk4 Lude.

So we didn't end up getting that Prelude.. not really a safe car; too many blind spots. Plus, it's not practical having another standard transmission car; autos are much better daily drivers for us. We were thinking of a 7th Gen Celica too, but again, too many blind spots. But we did buy one this weekend, picking it up tomorrow! Pics to come :D Edit: Pics from the meet yesterday.

The cruiser is slow, but damn taht torque. once the canopy is taken off, its so hard not to rip mad burnouts. except its on mickey thompson mtzs. those tyres arent cheap! I think clyde should just get a moped. he has no hope at driving a car. -

CSX looks proper.. Anyway..threw on the Type-C's. Holy shit Im in love. Needs more poke though.. 17x7 +35-8mm spacers soo..effectively its 17x7 +27 Lowered the front approximately 1/4 of an inch.
Gonna keep the rear with that set up cause Im too in love with the poke. Gonna lower all around to herrastupid this sunday :usa: -

Date: Fri, Jul 20 2012 20:01:31
Personally, I liked your Varrstoens more lol. But the Type Cs do look sick. Hopefully you can get the same fitment in the rear; the way it is now looks amazing. Also got a ride in my friend's CSX last night, damn that thing is comfy. Even though I was shunned to the back seat, it was comfortable. Plus his system is amazing, I really want to get my amp in asap lol. Also also, forgot to mention if I paid in full for mt projectors and HIDs. $175 for a full on low-rise projector HID set up, great price. 50% off thanks to a groupbuy, sweeet! :D Can't wait, they're supposed to be ready in August, but I'll try to nab my set a bit early since the guy is local.

Thats why I would love to have a diesel! Loves me some torque =) Thats the thing I hated about my old Civic. NO TORQUE. Your Land Cruiser a dedicated offroader with those tires or something man? And I still wouldn't give Clyde a moped. He'd hit another car, damages it, then the other person feels bad for killing him =/ -

Some pictures from today. First off, an Integra that has almost half a million kilometres on it.
Holy shet lol.
And our new Integra!
Idk if I told you guys about it yet, too lazy to look back through the thread lol. 145,000 kms on it, needed a new steering column, headlight assembly, antenna, and new front tires. Not bad for a $2000 car lol. Drives well too :D
Edit:
Oh and since this car will ultimately be Baaron's when he gets his license, I'm not allowed to modify it to my liking xD
But he did give me permission to drop in LEDs in the dome lights, map lights and cluster. All are gonna be super bright white, nothing crazy. Might put some LEDs on the license plate too.
If it were up to me, I would have it lowered, lip, muffler, tint, 6000K HIDs, amber cluster, RSX seats and LEDs everywhere lol. -

Well, today sucked. My redneck turbo-nipple-on-my-radiator fix finally took out my radiator. So I'm stuck on the freeway shoulder. 12:50 I call my for a tow. They give me a ETA of an hour.....an hour pass....nada. 3 calls later and 2 more ETAs I'm finally picked up at 3-something. At the mechanics I brought my own OE radiator. I had it for a while, knowing it needed to be replaced. Obviously my mechanic doesn't know his way completely around a Subaru. So I give him a hand. He was pretty cool about it. Right afterwards I had dinner date with my girlfriend. I show up reeking of coolant and arms covered with oil spots. And thats how I spent my birthday. And thats why I don't make a fuss about it, shit always happens.

Auto shifts faster than a normal 5 speed or 6 speed. They usually have a dual clutch system, so the next gear is already spinning and ready to go. Supercars like that also have paddle shifter options, so shifting up and down is fast and easy. It's a smooth ride and would go faster than a conventional MT car. It's faster, but not as fun to drive, I've heard.

Completely not our fault. our accidents sound VERY similar. Going straight, light just turns yellow, car in opposite direction turns left into us. Even trying to swerve out of the way would still be an accident. Bad luck on our sides, I guess. Meet pics, all I got. Too busy talking, eating and lol'ing.

BAM! With an RB25!
Sick S14. Zenki, I think.
And some wide shots
I'll steal some from the thread when they're posted.

Also, got my car washed and detailed by my friend who works at Audi. Typically charge $400 for it, I got it for free! =D Came back out, get in the car and took a pic of this R8 V10 sitting next to me.

On the other bright side..I can get a 2009 front end conversion and the right projector is still salvageable..Ill see what happens..

Well its a salvage title. Insurance company will probably deem it as a total loss cause my car had to be towed back..but its repairable. Hopefully Ill be able to drive her again.

Tia's gone. Insurance is claiming it as total loss. My car is at a shop. My uncle is homies with the shop managers. He told me about 5 minutes ago. I got off the phone crying my ass off. I fucking loved that car, all the shit i went though with that car and all the good times I had with that car. I babied her. I bought 200$ worth of detailing products, endless 100mile drives for parts, babying her..for fucks sake i dropped 2g's onto an automatic car. Its not the money that I'm crying over its the effort i put into her. For three months..I have worked my ass off working on that car. lowering it slowly, running all over the place in search of new wheels. Every girl Ive been with has been take to somewhere special, because of that car. All gone in one day. I CAN repair her. But my insurance is going to skyrocket, my car will never drive the same and just knowing that happened will never be the same. I have and always will love that car. From the first day I've had her to the last. Goodbye. Take care of yourself my dear.

Honestly, as much as I'd like to get 17x8 and 17x9, it's just too much. Plus, with no power steering, it's gonna be heavier to turn. 17x7.7 and 17x8.5 should fit under my car with no problems at all; with 17x9s I'll probably need to roll fenders. Also:

You need JDM badges now. :trollface: 17x9 will fit with a little camber. I doubt you need to roll..my uncle ran the racing harts with a 2 inch lip. AFAIK no fenderwork done. Had 245's in the rear and 225's up front.

I really want a 4 door car thats stick and is able to pump out a good amount of power. After this accident..Im really safety concious now, anything that is airbag-realted or OEM safety related Im going to keep. IE, I was going to purchase a quick release and some Recaro's for Tia, which would disable my steering wheel airbag and seat airbag..but seeing as BOTH those airbags went off in Tia, Im really scared now. I mean, the 8th generation civics are fucking rocks. I hit that girl at approximately 40mph. Whats broken? Not much..a few body parts and a bent radiator support. But her car? Her entire right side was GONE. Windows shattered, doors bent, rear axle bent, frame bent.. I was going to opt for a 4 door integra..but like I said, safety features. Your car is clean! Loving the OEM+ route you got going on :)
Didnt even see that. :rofl:Edit: Also, local MR2 owner's car. http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/20/sidemr2.jpg Amazing, I like it.

I don't even care if people know what my plate is, I get a new one every spring LOL. 005 RTK REMEMBER DAT. And thanks dude, I really love the OEM shit on later gen MR2s, so that's what I'm sticking to. Getting a 94 spoiler too. Only thing that'll be original 91 on my car will be like.. the engine LOL. Gonna get 93 turbo brake calipers too :P I dunno if you'd even consider driving my car then Colin.. I have no airbags, at all. LOL. Also, local guy's car:

Maybe.. idk, I haven't stalked his photos.. yet >:] Yeah, I get a new plate every spring. My insurance ends in November, I return the plates to the insurer, and put storage insurance on the car till spring. Then I buy new insurance. Saves $200 a month during the months it's in storage. If I need to take it out somewhere, put a daily permit on it, $40. And about the 94 spoiler, I think you're forgetting I'm repainting the whole car. :D It'll look like a 94! -

My Integra never had airbags either, I guess I just got used to it. And I stick the car in storage cuz driving in winter time here is madness, and the salt will just kill the underside of the car. -
Date: Sat, Aug 11 2012 21:19:48
Ohh youre repainting the whole car, I forgot :( You should get your fenders rolled/pulled while youre at it!! If youre gonna get bodywork done, might as well get it blended :) You just getting it done in your OEM white? Not gonna paint it highlighter yellow? :xd:
-
Date: Sat, Aug 11 2012 22:40:08
LOL naw, OEM white is nice. I've fallen in love with the white =D And I totally should get my fenders done! Not pulled, just rolled. Also, ITR hhnnnghhh
Edit:
Installed the amp today lol. Little 300W thing, it's all I need, for now anyways lol.
Copy pasted from MR2.com:
Was gonna place it under the passenger seat, then decided to stick it where the stock sub is.
Cleaned the carpets out too lol, and got almost $2.50 in change! LOL.
Also, got a little bored and took this random picture :lol:
Final placement of the amp
Actually doesn't rattle or move at all in there. Took the enclosure the little excuse for a sub off and just mounted the speaker, and stuck the amp behind it. Now to figure out why my USB and AUX inputs have such crappy quality.
Got a couple of JBL 6.5s on the way home too. I'm not really an audiophile, so these should do just fine. Will probably install them tomorrow during breaks in my studying lol. Summer terms suck -.- -
Date: Mon, Aug 13 2012 01:22:34
That..is a lot of change.. and watch out, we got a Mexican in here with his subs! :rofl: Im just kidding Dalton. I love you . :wub: You should make custom enclosures behind your seat! Some wood, felt and nails, and boom, JDM sub enclosure :)

Believe me, if I didn't have t-tops, I woulda done this:
But, those t-tops gotta go somewhere :(
Edit:
Picture of my cock..pit :trollface:
One of the fogs burnt out, gotta replace them -.- Both, cuz I have a pair of 2500 H3s and the ones in there right now are OEM Sylvanias or something, so if I swap one, one will be more yellow than the other.

Now I overdrive the stock sub lol, and I wanna upgrade, but still be able to put the T-tops where they belong lol. Edit: I've think I found it..
Just on the driver side though, passenger side has a locked cubby thing where I stash my insurance papers. I'll drop by Best Buy tomorrow and see how it is. It's on sale right now too, for 150 bucks! lol

@Colin Lol, I will, couldn't do it tonight cuz I decided to go out last minute after work. Tomorrow night I should have 'em in, and we found a way to do it without drilling holes, lol. Edit: Also, was talking to Leon a bit earlier, and trying to help him decide on a first car. Integras came up, and I started searching CL for them. Came across a few DA9s, and now I really, REALLY want to get one and turn it into a project. This one looks like a good start. http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/cto/3212284026.html Swap in a 5 speed, drop in a fuckin' K20, coilovers, maybe a 5 lug so I can throw some GSR blades on there. JDM one piece headlights, lip, sound system, Personal steering wheel, ya know, yer typical Honda project. No bike rack though. Look how sexy a DA9 can look, D:

@Colin Trim sounds really good, I might just do that, lol. It is about $5k for a 4th gen swap, but then I'd have to bring it to the guys.. in New Jersey. So fuck that LOL. Unless they ship the engines out, then I can tackle it with my dad and maybe some of the MR2 nuts around here. Late night, engine swap, few beers, sounds like good times =D ALSO, installed the sub today. SOOOO FUCKIN' SICKKKK.
Gonna have to find an old black t-shirt or something to cover the Pioneer lettering lol, no tint on the windows yet, so people can peek in and see a nice juicy 10" sub in there. My dad figured out an ingenious way of mounting it, using existing holes for the cover it's sitting on, attaching brackets to it and attaching those into the sub box. Looks clean and seamless. Me gusta. Hits the lows decently too, for a shallow sub box anyways. Dubstep time >:] -
Date: Sat, Aug 25 2012 06:03:56
plastidip the sub :trollface: itll look like felt! OR. get some velcro, and velcro some felt on top. fucking genius. pioneer sub for 150 bucks..looks good man! you have to understand people in the us hate shipping things over borders cause of customs..shit gets lost and fees and shit. so yeah. :p ROAD TRIP LOL.
-
Date: Sat, Aug 25 2012 06:06:44
The felt idea.. amazing. I am totally gonna do that lol, when I'm not lazy. As for the shipping thing, yeah, US people bitch all the time about high shipping costs and customs. Meh, I coulda always have it shipped out to Point Roberts, a PO box kinda thing on Vancouver Island that is actually part of Washington lol. Oh yeah, your interior looks pretty. Don't you find the wink mirror kinda blocks your view though? I kinda felt like that when I stuck my 300 mm Broadway in my car for lolz.
-
Date: Sat, Aug 25 2012 06:09:48
I thought of it while i was typing lol. I dont understand about it honestly..i mean shipping that illest frame to you was just about the same price as it was shipping it to new york or something. you could do that..but new jersey is on the other side of the country..itll cost you like 300+ to ship out an engine..i think. nthxbro. i hate that wink mirror man. no sun visors, and it kinda ish blocks my views. i miss my broadway cause it made everything smaller..the wink mirror is like the oem mirror but just extended all the way across. if that made any sense at all

I think he means the tow hook lol.
Personally, I think they look out of place if they're jutting out real far like that. Plus, it seems like bad carma (haha GEDDIT, KARMA, CAR MA LOLOLOL not funny), since it's like you're implying that you will crash your car and need to have it towed out.
It's fine if it's on a track car and mounted so it's inside the bumper a little.
But on a street car, it's kinda eh. -

I like the Varrstoens better :3 Also, the V8 MR2 is probably just a drag queen. All that weight on the rear wheels, so much traction and torque. And by drag queen, I don't mean a flaming homosexual that dresses in drag, I mean, a monster at the drag strip.. ._.

You're getting there :clap: just gotta fiddle with the settings! And he has a lot of bokeh in that picture..I love that. I wanna learn how 2 do that.. :( Parents recently bought a new house (mind you its in a shittyass neighbourhood where ricers flourish), and the driveway is like a death trap..its steep, the sidewalk is popped up (due to a tree root under the concrete) and its small..so theres no room to angle. I scraped my bottom of the bumpter and popped the tabs off on the side..and im not even low. wtf man. :( Another picture. I have..like 35 gallons of water in my trunk. (90ish litres for the Canuck. LOL IM KIDDING. You know I love you, Dalton.)

https://vimeo.com/49085958 OMG brings a tear to my eye. ;( Basically, we held a car meet yesterday in support of someone on Scooby.net, whose 11 year old son has a couple of inoperable brain tumors and only has a few weeks to live. Kid's name is Connor, and he loves Subarus. His dad organized a meet as a gift to Connor, and we did the same, even though we're on the opposite side of the world. Arbie (a mod) let us sign post it notes and stick them all over his car, showing our love and support for Connor. Really, just something special, this meet. Over 100 cars came out to support Connor. Here he is in the meet they had in the UK
Never thought a meet could be so emotional, but the meaning behind it is just so.. right. If ya get what I mean.
And some pics of some other cars. Ignore the over-HDR'd editing on these lol.

Anyway..I need to get out of the game for a little..just until i get my school stuff straight. all my community colleges are full, and i'm unable to register until Winter 2013. The university that accepted me revoked my application cause i had one semester of a failing grade..and ultimately that screwed me over. i went to go to my highschool to get the grade changed, and im now eligible. however, today is registration day for classes and i dont even know if i can register for classes because techincally im not even eligible for school..

@kaku I didnt see your pic editing post..and its getting better! Its not bad in any shape or form..you just gotta take the lasso tool and crop out images. Then oversatureate/overcontrast them, and paste them on top as another layer. Then adjust the opacity. That way you get more of a colour you want. ANYWAY. Im on the edge right here..I need to do a 50k maintence soon. Ive hit 50,200miles so far, and I needa do spark plugs, brake flush/pads/rotors, oil/tranny change.. And theres this guy selling DC5-R calipers..in other words. Brembos. with rotors, pads, fluids and SS brake lines. He was asking 700, but he PM'd me his bottom line is 660.. 660 for ALL of that is a hell of a deal. But I gotta pay for tuition and books. So I dont even know anymore. :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

It just hit me that your mirrors are very square lol. Needs a lip in the front too lol, guess I'm just too 90s JDM minded lol. Also, been talking about how TRD springs seem to be lower in the back than in the front, which is apparently set up like that for heavy braking.
Supposedly, the TRDs drop the car 1.5" all around. The rears are fine, but I kinda wanna see if I can even out the front with a lower spring. Supposedly Teins drop them a bit more, and so do H&Rs. Coworker of mine had H&Rs on his JDM MR2 a few years ago, and he loved them.
Supposedly, this is H&R springs all around.
And this is Teins all around.
H&R or Tein fronts, TRD rears. Hmm..
That picture also reminded me, I should delete the sidemarker. Don't think I need one to be road legal, plus I've seen other MR2s that have them solid in Vancouver. We'll see.
Or... I can ditch the springs + struts combo and get some.. Tein coilovers? :lol: LOL Srsly though, the adjustability factor really has me interested. Later, as usual lol, since paint job. -
Date: Tue, Sep 18 2012 20:10:46
Nah its just the lighting lol..
or not.
but yeah man, i definately do need a lip.
my inspiration <3 Met him in person last last monday. hes fucking static and no creditcard clearance all around..
And the reason why I want RPF1's. Im selling them :c
Gonna give them one last run as my winter wheels and then bye bye.
And never never never never ever ever never never eveerrrrr mix springs..i dont understand why people do that..youre gonna mess with the rates and have a poopy ride. seriously..if you think theyre too high, put a fullsized spare in your frunk or cut your springs. im serious. dont dump it..but just enough where youre happy wit hit.
GET COILZ. you wouldnt have to worry about that! and if you get rid of your sidemarkers that wouldnt be a problem. they dont even function..they just stay on. if anything slice into your fender and get jdm sidemarkers lol -

Nice video. I liked the first position better. now you need to film the classic suspension/brake view. How limited are you with the choices? I mean like you cant stick it on curvy bits. The mr2 is quite square though. I washed the V today 9 (But then it rained...) and thought i should get some photos. Taking a decent camera would have been a good idea too. But i was stuck with the phone camera. Overall I got about 2 shots that werent blurry. So ill remember the good camera for next time.

Hey man, if I could help out a girl over the internet who has an MR2 and likes 2NE1, I'll do it! NO SHAME. SUP. More picture editing, idk, I liked how one of them turned out, rest are mehhh.
Friend's Volvo and mah MR2. He was bored as fuck, so we went and washed our cars after I finished work. Some dude in an older Jetta was at the car wash, and was blown away by my friend's sound system. 300W Alpine sub powering a 12" Xplod sub. I swear, the dude was baked, lol.
Edit:
Tried the GoPro again, this time with a different cover. Wind noise is still there, but not as loud. And the camera is shaking at time, because it's mounted on the door, right where the speaker is. Unce unce unce. Maybe an in-cabin video will be next. Also didn't know my suspension traveled to much, holy.

Some random pictures over the last few days. First off, helped my friend roll his fenders and adjust his camber on his EL. I showed you this car, right Colin? @Colin
We actually somehow ended up bending the fender roller.. Ugh. There goes $200 of his money, even though another friend and I did it xD

Doubt its your clutch slipping didn't you replace it when you first got it? You seem to have the opposite problems of a slipping clutch. WOT@ 50mph in 5th. If the revs shoot up, you got a slipping clutch. I know. Mine is starting to want to slip. Not bad for being 137k =)

If you have a low light situation, shoot at a higher ISO level. The picture will be noisier, but it won't be as blurry. You can denoise and soften the picture later in Photoshop. The noise isn't even a problem if you reduce the image size. -

solutions. 1. dont get a car if you dont wanna spend money on gas 2. get a hybrid 3. just wait til they come out with stylish hybrids 4. wait til gas prices drop (it eventually does) 5. get a motorcycle 6. wait til they come out with stylish cars with good mileage (subaru brz) -

That thought is way too deep bro. Just get a driver's license, I mean, its better than an "Identification Card". People look at you like "You dont know how to drive? :facepalm: -__- " And yes, oil is slowly becoming scarce, gas is becoming expensive..but I dont think people really give a fuck about it. I mean, Im aware of it, but Im nt really taking it into consideration. There are cars that run on hydrogen. Electric cars are basically the same as regular petrol cars, they require electricity, in which generators are used. still produces emissions. -

Here we have E85(85% Ethanol 15% gas) we use corn to make it and in Brazil they use sugar cane. I know in Brazil they have a Civic that runs on e100. A few years ago ethanol distilling used more resources than it would put out, but now the manufacturing process has improved and is much more sustainable. Especially with sugarcane. Currently e85 is cheaper per gallon than gas but has a low energy content, thus achieves lower fuel economy. But at $3/gallon vs $5 it evens out. Great thing about ethanol is it's high octane rating. Tuners are able to achieve WAY higher boost. Stock STi turbos can put down about 350whp and 400wtq vs stock >270 whp/wtq. Class dismissed.

I guess.. But it's the bridge connecting downtown Vancouver to North Van. So during rush hour they switch the middle counterflow lane so there's 2 lanes going into Vancouver, 1 into North Van. I think.

Was gonna just helped out a couple of friends swap in LEDs into their gauge clusters, turned into a fun evening lol. Friend with the slammed IS300 wanted help with spraying his winter wheels, so I did. Bought 30 bucks of brake cleaner, primer and blue paint, and proceeded to bomb his wheels ultra blue for lolz. It's winter wheels, who cares lol.
Stacked them up in my garage, he's gonna let them dry overnight. We weren't planning on clear coating them, but I had some left over and ended up doing it anyways lol.
Also, guy in the EL dropped his lip, and did a quick semi-repair job. Just sanded down a couple of the scuffs, primered it in black and cleared it LOL. It actually looks better than it did before :lol:
He and my friend with an EF hatch tried putting LEDs in the cluster, but found out it wouldn't work when all of them are in. Weird. We'll figure it out, lol. One day.
And the only thing that happened to my car is.. that a fog light burnt out lol. :lol: -

Whats with all the turbos? I gotta ask, JB weld and camber... isn't a camber bolt safer =P -
Date: Thu, Oct 25 2012 03:11:59
Eh, we were adjusting the camber on his rear wheels. It's just a matter of bolting the control arm to the subframe, and putting washers in between to adjust camber. The bolts he brought over were a bit too thick, so we sheared the top of the bolt straight off when tightening it. Ended up JB welding the top of the bolt LOL. Soooo sketchy. Also, Forza Horizon! =D

South Coast Subaru supposedly has 3 right now. But it looks like no one in SoCal is getting at or below invoice. You guys might not have noticed but, I'm a huge Subbie fan, borderline fanboi. Its true. But the BRZ is totally underpowered. Yes its made to drift/canyon carve/road race. But here is SoCal we have miles upon miles of straight freeways! And 22/30 mpg manual and 25/34 mpg auto ain't that great. That's premium fuel too. Posted from a fone. -

ya, but its technically my third car i want something with moderate power & class. i was thinking second hand 350/370z, nsx, TL, e46/e60/1 series (but german...so prob not) but ya 50k was just a guesstimate. thinkin 30k-ish for new, 10-20k for secondhand? -
Date: Sun, Oct 28 2012 19:16:38
Why don't you test drive the BRZ or FRS if you can't find a BRZ to test. At 30k.... I can't really think of a coupe with power or class... 30k used sure. Infiniti's and such. Remember, power and class is subject test the thing out. My WRX now feels slow to me, the "cheap plastic interior" is plenty for me and the "harsh ride" isn't harsh enough.

Clyde;233293]my parents are afraid I might. Lol brb drag racing in slow ass sedans (vtec ain't gon do shit on a fuckin 69 mustang) not sure if srs[/QUOTE] Just because it's a sedan doesn't mean it can't be fast =P And I was serious, sorry. I just have a thing against people assuming my car just dropped out of my parent's wallet. You didn't assume it, but by stating that we "have cars already" and you've just been waiting guess it lit a fuse for me. And for that, I apologize. BTW, look up specs of a car before buying it it'll do you good. That car has the 302 small block, that's a thirsty 5.0 litre, 2 Valve, OHV, carbureted V8. Which is CRAP by today's standards. 0-60 : 8.7 Seconds 1/4 Mile: 16.5 Seconds. These are the specs to a 2013 Honda Accord EX(2.4 liter, inline 4) 0-60: 7.6 seconds 1/4 Mile: 15.9 seconds It'll do basically the same thing with half the cylinders, half the displacement, an eighth of the gas at 20 times the reliability with 2 more doors. And a classic that well kept should not be daily driven. Man law. It sounds like you're one of those idiots who want to drive a nice sports car as slow as possible through a busy intersection. If so, the giggles from respectable girls aren't a good thing. That, was a flame. If I could talk to your parents I'd tell them to buy you a Toyota Yaris. So that you can appreciate your car and after your mishaps with the family SUV... I don't get why the hell an SUV is even an option unless your parents want to buy a new SUV for themselves and give you the old one.... [QUOTE=Colin;233434]You know guys.

Some progress over the last couple days! Picture spam time! Took off my stock zenki spoiler, so I can prep the trunk and fenders for paint. All dat dirt.
Found a spot of exposed rust, and some bubbling under the paint along the trunk and fender.
Took off the side pieces, looks really funny now lol.
Took off the non-working antenna, then proceeded to sand away all the rust.
Got the main parts off, then took a break since my fingers were hurting lol.
This part is a BITCH.
Yes, I'm wearing a face mask thing. Usually I don't cuz it's so hard to fuckin' breath, but since there's rust and paint flying about..
Came back later, sanded some more. God I hate rust.
Just about done the trunk.
Just gotta get rid of the black spots here, then I can primer it so it won't get fucked up again.
Rawr.
Oh, and flashback pic, summer 2011!

Lets be honest. Most people here are either Asian... or like the Asian thing. We generally won't go for American Muscle, except for clyde. Hes another category. The new mustangs v6's aren't that slow. 305hp/280tq. So respectable.... but enough what I think about the damn thing. Why are you asking us about what we think? Why don't you go test drive a few cars and buy what YOU like. Ask 10 people what "slow" is and you'll get 10 different answers. My WRX fits me perfectly. Kaku's MR2 fits him.

oh still good anyways.. imo you won't race everyday and getting a v8 is a waste of cash since it consumes gas a lot -
Date: Thu, Dec 13 2012 01:16:32
I dont think he plans on racing at all... no one here does. Maybe the odd drag with friends. we have a v8 here, fuel consumption is probably better than the V. its a turbo diesel but thats not the point.

Dooood. Get a tripod, or ghetto rig one. Set your exposure to 20 seconds, ISO to 200. Focus, and leave your camera until the shutters complete. You have a kickass photo. Practice long exposures at night! I'm still learning how to do that, you just have to mess with the ISO and shutter speed. On an off note. I got hit today, and its not necessarily the dude's fault.. SOOO. Im pulling into a gas stall. Backing into a stall. And I feel something hit my car. I look at the rearview, someone hit a trashcan. Well, before I pulled into the station, there was a dude whose car broke down, cause no gas. Some bystanders helped him push the car into the gas station. Little did they know they were pushing way too much, and hit a trashcan. The trashcan has a concrete base, so its damned heavy. I was backing up, and the dude hit the trashcan which hit me; it wasn't helping that both objects were moving.
You can see my sexy self and the trashcan in the reflection.
One of the bystander saw me rage, and he was all "dont worry itll buff off"
...I wanted to throw a fucking rachet at him. But since I had to drive somewhere to pick up my baller spare, and it was a 40 minute drive, I let him go.
By this time I was still pissed. I was a dick towards the owner of the car. I had my detailing supplies in my trunk, and wiped off the trashcan residue.
I let him use it to wipe it off of his car. "I feel so bad dude, I feel like I ruined your day".
Gave me 20 bucks and I was on my way. I felt kinda bad since it wasnt his fault, and accepted his money.
Then, driving on freeway, going to pick up my baller rim.
Hit a pothole.
STI lip folds under my car and I'm dragging a lip.
Pull over. Lip's gone.
:facepalm:
Arrive.
Pick up spare.
Rotiform BLQ 17x8+20.
Usually 1500+ for a set of 4 w/tires.
Got it for $150.
Raped tire and face. Guy sanded down the face, some of it at least.
Will get better picture.
Oh, the dude lives in a private community..I had the pleasure of driving through almost a mile's worth of this shit.

Damn, sucks about that lip :( Now get a Toyota lip, you've had some of UEDan on your car, how about some of mine? :P And definitely gotta work on the camera lol. Not good at manual focusing, so one of my friends told me just to use auto. Turned out ok, I guess. Was only able to take pics of my friend's EL, freshly waxed with Collinite and with a new replacement lip.

no it doesnt. But with the m5, you have to put the car into reverse, then shut the car off in order to park it... lol it was weird. idonno how much my brother makes. he works for my parents. but then again he lives with me... -

SJ wrote: @Tetsip whats your bros reasoning for getting the m5? imo, m3 is nicer looking and more nimble if hes interested in performance, he could invest the money in making the m3 faster instead of getting the m5
Hmm he's not getting an m5, but instead 5-series once he buys his own house soon. I think its cuz of how big the 5-series body is. He's a pretty big guy, 6ft and like 220lbs. He loved his m3, but once he drove the m5, there was such a change in all aspects of the car. The m3 was his dream car as he was a child, but I suppose you can say he matured as a bmw customer lolol. The m5 is easier to drive, even with the new twin turbo v8 engine that does some serious damage. I honestly don't know his plans, but once he moves out and settles down, he'll go for the 5-series with the M sports package cuz its the same feel as the m5, but without paying like $45k more for the engine lol. I think he's leasing it again. I think the guy said like ~$800/month? -

i didnt get to choose the body kit. it was $300 versus paying alot more to go to stock or anything after market. after its all painted it should look pretty clean. it also needs a tune pretty bad. running a srage 1 tune with a catless turbo back. prob not a good idea. -

@UEDan I was driving through Brea Canyon today and this guy in [what looked like] a subie in the opposite lane is drifting around the fucking turns. And he wasn't doing it well either. Like seriously he had no control of the car and I managed to pass him just as he drifts into my lane and eventually going into the dirt on the side, he wasn't able to stop because too much momentum. Not sure what happened after that, but I could have fucking died. Like if you want to practice your dorifuto do it when there AREN'T other cars around. This was at like 1 in the afternoon when there were plenty of other cars (that he almost hit). Any other time would have been safer -_-

If it was a Subie, this is why I hate Ken Block. In every group of car fanatics there are bound to the a few douchebags. I'm sorry you had to experience that. Next time just call the cops on his dumbass. @funnky Fact: OE WRX hoods are LIGHTER than aftermarket carbon fiber hoods. and if you put back the stock boost control solenoid you will be able to run COBB's Stage 2 tune. And fuck the dealership for over tightening my drain plug and oil filter! Never again, running "diesel oil" in my car now =)

K, taking off the corner lights and sidemarkers on the MR2 is a pain in the ass, almost as much of a pain as taking off the side vent. Which happened to be what I did today. Holy balls.
Got one more side vent to take off tomorrow, had enough after tonight lol. But I do know how to do it now, so it shouldn't be that much harder. After that, my car is pretty much ready for paint! Aiming for mid February to get it done. Which means I get to drive it! Yayyyyy, I miss driving her :( -

car pros: let's say you have a 67 mustang fastback frame + it's original wheels(those 15" avenger gt ones) and a '13 mustang given a budget of probably around $70~$100k is it possible to get the frame and wheels fit onto the brand new stang? like they'd change the chassis and stuff for the frame to fit, put power windows in, etc

Nah its not. But there was a tiny o-ring that just wouldnt sit right. ended up crushing it and leaking everywhere. it took a few goes to get it right are you like 4'9? haha that position -
Date: Sat, Jan 19 2013 08:54:40
@funnky Here's my take on the MR-S. Although it is technically the last generation of the MR2, I dislike it. It's a male hairdresser's car. I love the SW (mine) and I like the old school styling of the AW (first gen), but the MR-S is really girly. The only way it'd look nice is to do lots of bodywork and put on a nice bodykit, like the one SJ posted. Stock though, it looks like a heterosexual Porsche. When they're riced out though, they actually look pretty decent.

Its been a minute since I've been here.. Got some new coils. Buddy Club N+ Dampers. 1k brand new picked up, fresh from Buddy Club distributor in SoCal.
My JDM baby blue emblem overlay.
Went a tad lower.
Dumped it for a bit and then put my Varrstoens back on. I missed the poke.
Decided to give it a proper stagger. +22 up front and +30 in the rear.

Rota grids are cool. Theyre TE37 replicas just as Varrstoen 2.x.x's are. Just watch out with them and avoid poor weather conditions, they've been know to shatter.
Then again, all replicas are prone to that. Real wheels are made from one piece of metal and you pay for quality opposed to quantity. -

@Colin Thats the thing, factory plates are side mounted. This idiot relocated it to the worst place possible. Just curious, how much weight do those 17/18's weigh vs your stock wheels? And did you notice slower acceleration? How was steering response? I'm debating on whether or not to go with 17's.

These are okay. My stock SI rims are like 22 pounds/wheel with a 215/45/17 on it. My Varrstoens are around the same weight, maybe + or - 1 pound or so witha 215/40. Steering response is beter cause theyre an x9 wheel, so i got more area. Plus I got Contintntal Extreme Contact DW, shit grips like STDs to a hooker. -

Went out this morning. So far so good. the chainstays are nice and short so its nice and twitchy like a 26er hardtail. The front just barrels over everything. I've come off a giant trance, so a slack front end trail bike. headtube is noticably steeper, wide bars keep it under control though. missed the 4inch rear travel on the real rocky sections sucking up my mistakes this morning. Really have to work to keep it rubberside down on this thing. loving it though.

Lol, looks funnier with a Miata :P Btw, the first large car meet of the year happened today, had an absolute blast. Although, my right headlight fell down on the drive there; linkage arm fell off. Then, a group of us went for a cruise, and on the way back, the ballast on the other headlight, the working one, went out. Well fuck. I tried to make it back into town before sunset, but it got dark really quick, so my friend (who was thankfully staying close to me) pulled over and swapped ballasts over.
And now, to edit all the pics I like. Took over 200, only picked out about 30 ish?
Got a few done right away, gonna do all the ones in the above pic tomorrow.

I swear, you DID take that on purpose. Atomic Blue Metallic AND RPF1's. LOLOL. What are the chances? Im honestly okay with RPF1's, I was considering getting a set but I picked up a set of G35 stockies. 245/45/18R (or front for me, for correct stagger) 225/45/18F (or rear fo me, for correct stagger) Going to get the harts relipped cause my dumass curbed it even more today. Late to class. With bright lights, you have to change your white balance and raise your lower your ISO. Especially with cop lights and HIDs, youre gonna have about 9000gigawatts of power going through your lens. Set it for low ISO and a longer shutter speed. That's pretty much all the advice I can give you because my pictures are worse than an iPhone's. -

This is what happens when I go out with my friends, haha. [video=youtube;t5f-TpVx98Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5f-TpVx98Y[/video] Couple of them find out my car is unlocked, so they get inside. I lock them in from the outside, and when the doors are unlocked from the inside, the alarm goes off. Then they decide to try to take my t-tops off, then fog up my windows. Then the alarm goes off again lol. They also put my wipers on full speed and blasted the heater on full, lol, which I only found out after I turned the car on. Second clip is an awesome tunnel run, about 10 cars just ripped it though the short tunnel. The driver of the EL said to me after "Hey Dalton, fuck you. I was going wide open in 3rd and you fly by me as if it was nothing. Fuck you." LOL I was in 3rd gear too, freakin' maxed out my boost gauge. Yeah, shenanigans.

Interior is almost complete! Aesthetics wise, anyway. Picking up a turbo timer off a friend tomorrow for cheap, gonna install that in the glovebox for super stealthy OEM+ tyte yo. All that needs to be done to the interior now is installing LEDs in the climate control, and in the window switches. Then maybe white LEDs in the footwells hooked up to the dome light. Also gonna try to hook up a light with a sensor to the glovebox, can't see shit inside when it's dark. -

Friends of mine love going out for photoshoots, lol. Usually we hit up a meet first, or eat, then drive together to a spot or 2 for shooting. Wednesday night, we had a dozen cars lol, decided to head out after a small meet and take some photos. Unfortunately, my pro photographer friend didn't bring his camera, so it was just me with my shitty kit lens. Which I ended up dropping, luckily the lens is still fine and the tripod took most of the damage. Here are the pics that I liked and edited!
And the money shot!

I'm selling the roadie to buy an HT AM bike. Looking for a sasquatch or something nice and cheap. Thinking pike forks, 2x9 or 1x9 set up. -
Date: Mon, Aug 12 2013 07:52:16
@Rees BWAHAHAHA! Thanks man! Didn't you have the Giant full-sus? What makes you wanna go HT? Anyways, I was looking to do the same. Cheap build, old school Pike w/ u-turn on a 2x9. NO ONE is selling their Pikes, settled on a Revelation 120-150 Air Team. Ended with 1x9 because it climbs just fine. Chainline gets fairly twacked through =P

I had a trance. Blew out the forks and bought a new ride. A carbon Santa Cruz Highball. Fuck. Yes. Nice find on the Evil. I've never seen one here. I dont really want a generic sasquatch. most have been abused as fuck too. But its my only option. leaves plenty of room for upgrades. Yeah no one sells pikes... Think i'm going to end up with some bombers or something like that. Hopefully the roadie sells tomorrow so I can get started on this monster!! Smash out the Downhill enduros! -

Pioneer 10" subwoofer behind driver seat
Blaupunkt 1250 THA PnP amp
LED gauge cluster
LED dome lights
LED keyring light
LED trunk light strip
I'm estimating that I put out about 180 hp to the rear wheels, factoring in a 20+ year old motor, and the small mods for power that I have. Boost is stock, at about 11 psi peak, and torque I'd estimate is at about 180 lb/ft?
Is it a fast car? Compared to what I've driven/sat in, no, but it's still hella fun. You don't need a 600 HP monster to boost your ego and have fun in, a little 200 hp thing like mine is good enough for me. That said, I am gonna build it up to 300 whp this winter, so we'll see how much more I like it after LOL. -

300hp is the way to go ;) I think anything above 300's too fast for the road lol also about how much have you put in your car? i'm assuming for engine not so much.. still mirin your ride now.. can appreciate 90s jdm -

So yeap, my car is done for the year. Luckily October was super sunny this year, so I didn't have to deal with much run. Developed rod knock tonight, mainly cuz I was doing donuts and burnouts.... Yeahhh.. Not good on a car that was just over 194,000 kms. That's like, 130k miles..? Oh well. Limped the poor girl home, and now she sits like this until I can get her to the shop and have the rebuild start.
Oh well. Bright side is, time to get work done on the car. Rebuild engine, drop in new parts, get it up to 300 rwhp, maybe more. She's gonna have new shoes too! Here's what's gonna go down.
Engine:
Removal, tear down
Have head ported and polished
Replace all seals, gaskets
GSC 268/268 camshafts, peak lift is 9.9 mm on both intake and exhaust sides
HKS adjustable cam gears
ARP head studs
Cometic head gasket
Walbro 255 fuel pump
ATS EGR block off plates and delete
GReddy intercooler kit with polished piping, blue hose joints and GReddy BOV
Air intake kit, hopefully with isolating box
Manual boost controller, crank it up to 15 psi
Wideband O2, boost, and oil pressure gauges, undecided on brand
OEM water and oil pumps
Timing belt change
Yeahhh, that should be enough for 300, 275 at the least. Anything more than that and I gotta upgrade the injectors.
In terms of shoes:
Work Meister S1
17x8 +32
Yokohama S-Drives in 215/40/17
Work Meister S1R
17x9 +35
Continental EC DWS in 245/40/17
Gonna be dope! Needs more low though, for sure. For that, gonna do with H&R coilovers, something like 6k front and 8k rear, maybe even 8/10. -

I sure hope so. Also decided to ditch the cams and forgot that I need pistons lol. Going for Wiseco 86.5 mm forged pistons, about $500 for the set. Gonna buy those, then drop the engine and send the head off to get machined to spec. I honestly cannot wait, this seems like a lot of fun.

Was changing my tires to winter tires. While jacking the back wheel on the driver side, the jack went through the reinforced metal where the jack is supposed to go due to rust. Whoops. Had to find another spot to jack the car. I guess this kind of stuff is bound to happen when your car is up to 282 000km. No mechanic problems as of now though. I'd like to make it all the way to 300k, make my 800$ worth it lol.

shiiet do you like rebuild your engine every yr? fi engines do require high maintenance lol.. haven't asked though how much my friend spends on his rb26 s14 every yr though since we're not close.. I guess even with a 90s jdm, you need to be ceo 10k a day to maintain it properly edit: read about the sw20 on wiki and wow higher hp =/= fast.. 14 sec 1/4 mile for a stock 200 hp car's fast.. 0-60 in 6 seconds.. C7's do 12's stock right? shiyet used to frown upon 90s jdm.. now respect them after learning a bit more about cars -

First time rebuilding engine. If you need to rebuild your engine every year, you either got a really shitty car, beat the fuck out of it, or are maintaining a racecar motor pushing out four digit horsepower numbers. I'm only aiming for 300 hp to the wheels; I've seen some MR2s built to 700 HP and those things fly. I've had this car for almost 3 years now, and only done general maintenance to it. This is the first big thing I've done since replacing the clutch when I first got the car.

Now, I've had a lot of questions about my car, and myself. Why mod one? I've had a few people say "Huh, it's just a car." Thing is, I've been around cars my entire life. My dad owns a mechanics shop, and (more recently) I've been spending a bit of time there. It's more than just a vehicle to me, it's a lifestyle and culture. Nothing is quite as satisfying as getting up in the morning, sitting down in the car I hand picked and modified to my vision and driving it to school, work, etc. All my current friends are the same. They eat, sleep and breath car culture. I've never really had a stable group of friends, I tend to fall into a group for a few years, then drift off into another group. These guys though, are the coolest. In 2011 and 2012, before I started hanging out with my 'car crew' (which is 100% JDM haha) I put a total of 9000 km on my MR2. In 2013 though, I went from 177k km to 194k. In only a few months, March till October. Just driving and attending all the meets in the local area was so much fun, really sparked the inner nerd inside me. So yes, all I may talk about is cars, and maybe video games and food. And girls, duh. But my main passion is the automobile. My car isn't just a car, but an extension of me. Even now, people see me driving and go "Hey that's dalton/kaku!" Don't know how to end this, so I'll post a video of my summertime driving and events. [video=youtube;czk690E2tnw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czk690E2tnw[/video] Music: Project 46 ft.

WOOo!!! YES!!!! dad's giving me $6.6k to spend on a car! I've only saved $660 though. Gonna get a 280zx for $4.8k! yeah, expensive.. hate how the prices in the Philippines are. Will be giving $450 later for down-payment and so that the guy can have the cams fixed. It's running a straight 6 L28E and I don't plan on tuning it. Just gonna work for my dad during summer and save up for an RB26, Watanabe rims, brembo brakes, suspension, sway bars, strut bars, and maybe a roll cage so that the 280zx can handle the power of the RB26.. but for now all I'm gonna do is have the interior upholstered which would cost around $600.. then I'll be left with $1.2k.. maybe I'll also pay for a sound system but idk how it's gonna work since the stock 280zx doesn't even have a head unit.. it's just weird how there's an antenna in the rear even if there's no stereo/speakers.. weird lol. So hoping to see my 280zx by next week.. and what inspired me to get this car is Wangan Midnight's Devil Z(600hp triple carbed L28 twin turbo) ;)

Hope you know that once you upgrade turbos, you gotta upgrade pretty much everything around it. Fuel system, upgraded valves and everything. 320 HP is already a lot for a 280; those things are stupid light. You'll be spinning tires in 4th gear haha.

yeah, my friend owns a 350whp RB26'd S14. He changed turbos, fmic, fuel pump & cams. Then slapped on brembo big brakes, changed coils, etc etc. Told me he spent around ~$35k to build his drift spec s14.. I'm still thinking of doing an RB26 swap to my 280 or just build the L28 slowly like the Devil Z in Wangan Midnight.. dat dere LD28 crank = more expensive than RB26(100% dead srs).. then changing from EFI to carb.. 50mm triple sidedraft webers.. again more expensive than an RB26.. idk, I'll post pics once I get the car edit: how it looks like now Engine: L28E
Chitty interior:
(would get it upholstered once the car doesn't have engine problems anymore)
(lmao @ fake nismo shift knob)
groce
Wheels:
sitting on some poverty 16" FWD rims(check the spacer), ordered 15x7 Rotanabe banana mags, 225/60 front(might even reduce to 205/50), 235/60 rear
the whole car:
check the plate #, 666 lol, it's really going to be a Devil Z(x) once it runs an RB26 or a well built L28
edit 2:
and if you're familiar with Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune, Blackbird showed up while I was otw to the 280zx lol (creepy/cool)
Devil Z(240z) and Blackbird(RUF CTR 930 in the anime/manga, 350z in the video game) are rivals

Date: Mon, Feb 24 2014 01:23:59
Hondas are one of the best cars out there. And that's coming from a RWD elitist. There are so small and compact, yet can push decent power with small displacement engines. They're just so efficient. A buddy of mine has a B18 swapped EG hatch, and he smoked me going up a hill in 3rd gear, since I was sitting there waiting for boost to kick in. The VTEC engines are one of the best engines out there; in NA form they're pretty powerful considering the size, and if you slap on a turbo and build them they can reach some really impressive numbers. How many 1.8 L engines can you build to 800+ horse? Only downside to Hondas are that most are FWD, and those are simply no fun. An S2000 or NSX however, is a different story :]
-
Date: Tue, Feb 25 2014 19:04:56
The hate that Hondas receive all come from adventurous teenagers that want cheap race cars. Building a good Honda is relatively cheap compared to the other Japanese brands, which is why many people (including teenagers that think they're legitimate racers) build em. In turn, these teenagers fuck up their cars, themselves, and the car's reputation in speed-related accidents. Well it is a "poor man's racecar", but a pretty damn good one at that. Buuuut if you're going on looks alone, go ahead get the 350. EDIT: My Stock RX8 (well nearly stock, put a typhoon intake) vs stock DC5 on drag.... RX8 barely wins. 240bhp rwd rotary just barely wins against a 200(220?)bhp fwd honda. I'd be sold if I didn't already own a car lol
-
Date: Tue, Feb 25 2014 19:58:54
Only thing is, FWD cars are extremely limited in power, unless all you wanna do is drag race. Anything more than 200 to the front wheels is undriveable; lots of understeer, lots of torque steer and too front heavy. With RWD, even a 600 HP car is still driveable, other than a heavy clutch or whatever.
-
Date: Tue, Feb 25 2014 21:04:40
@kaku really? I didn't know that. when I had a go with my friend's dc5, I barely felt any torquesteer at all.
-
Date: Wed, Feb 26 2014 05:44:48
Was it a DC5, type S? Those push out 215 hp, don't they? If it's stock, it's fine. Hondas are well balanced vehicles from the factory. A Mazdaspeed3 however, with ~250 hp and tq stock, is stupid. My friend works at a Mazda dealer; if you floor it, it just spins tires in 1st and 2nd gear, maybe 3rd if it's uphill. How the hell are you supposed to turn if all you're doing is smoking the front wheels? I dislike that idea lol.
-
Date: Wed, Feb 26 2014 13:19:58
JDM Type R. I heard the Mazdaspeed3s don't have as much torque from first to third gear, then the torque rips up at 4th. Still a pretty retarded car

this was how my old steering wheel looked like w/o the horn:
it was easy to mount the stock horn since it only had one of those bronze metal thing.. I just inserted the copper wire, twisted it, mounted the horn then bam, it worked

Those two tabs are quick release terminal clips, that horn is just big switch. Stock picture isn't working. I'm assuming the the old horn's clip is just connected to the relay and entire assembly is the ground maybe. Test it by touching that originall wire on a piece of the car's metal. Back to work....

Three V6s in a row, then my little 4 banger... That's it, I'm gonna buy a 93 NA MR2 and stick a 2GR V6 into it. 300 hp and 290 lb/ft tq, then I'll be able to keep up with the big boys. -

So I won a 2014 Kia Soul playing WC fantasy and I'm not too keen on that car. Problem is I have to keep it at least 6 months. Is it gonna drop off in value regardless of what I do, or is there a way to minimize losses?

BTW, my car currently.
Finally got my wheels on, new front lip, but other than that, the car is virtually the same. -

Looking clean. Does the front lip paint match the bodywork? maybe its just me...

Or, I guess I should say customizing the looks later. It appears you keep the car very clean.

Actually, I went looks first, then performance, LOL. Day 1:
Now:
Lowered, facelifted exterior, updated interior, full respray, full engine rebuild, and then wheels.

Lol no, this is like my 2nd time going, and since my car is so modded it's in SSM class, Super Street Modified. All the super crazy track cars are in that class, LOL. I came 3rd last in the class hahahahahha.

Yeah I hate it when some tiny cosmetic modification to a street car puts it into some class with purpose built race cars The important thing is that you had fun!
