dont know about them rims, but looks pretty damn clean ..

3sgtepower · 08-03-2008, 03:53 PM

If we can come up with the money, some nice OEM FD RX7 rims will probably replace those ugly 18's

baileyncreme · 08-31-2008, 04:47 PM

I'm 40+ and have the physique of an 18 year old. Debt free also.

I take care of my vehicles and treat them as valued investments.

No mods as that's not what I'm into. I'd rather spend the money
on driving the car to the vacation or event. That's where the memories
pile up and to me are much more rewarding.

Most (not all) of the modifications that I've seen to autos & motorcycles
have dramatically decreased the reliability, longevity & value of the vehicle.

Adrians89MR2SC · 08-31-2008, 05:02 PM

so who (other than me) thinks baileyncreme's wheels are better than 3sgtepower's 18's ..

oh, and nice color coding on the list of vehicles you have baileyncreme ..

mr2stealth · 08-31-2008, 05:28 PM

thanks and yea i hope to have it up by jan

gregg · 12-01-2008, 11:41 AM

I'm 52 and have had my '91T since about '93 or '94. I couldn't afford it when they came out. I think the thing about older guys not modding their cars, is that over time people realize that "extra" money spent on cars, is a money losing proposition. I put a Gen 3 swap in my car, only because I had to do something. I will do a few things, to it probably, but I won't do anything to get away from the Toyota reliability..........

3sgtepower · 12-01-2008, 07:49 PM

Good to have you on a forum that Im not banned from gregg. We should definitly organize another MR2 meet now that I got my "fast" MR2 up and running.

BTW nice Orange can of death Yellow MR2, really shows you care about your car!

BTW = By the way

Nothing its just the Fram oil filter is the cheapest filter you can put on a car and there rumored to cause engine failure. I would spend the extra buck and stick with the Toyota OEM Oilfilter if I were you to gauruntee against failure from a cheap faulty fram filter.

krazy2 · 12-02-2008, 05:38 PM

I agree with ya on the filter! OEM is best.
