I would wanna see the wing on a stock, or relatively stock car. Got any of those?

deucegirl03 · 02-13-2009, 10:01 PM

i kinda like that wing....it is aggressive without being overkill, but its borderline..

Davis · 02-13-2009, 10:59 PM

Glad you found out whats up with your baby Ren.

The autopista wing is meh, I don't like the fact that the stock sides are curvy then when the wing starts it's all straight. Looks stupid. If your gonna go aftermarket...

Kaminari or TRD ftw.

EDIT:

Soooo ummm...who else is going to be lonely tomorrow?

EvilElvis · 02-14-2009, 12:17 AM

98 wings the best, and functional!

EvilElvis · 02-14-2009, 12:17 AM

btw anyone watch the new futurama yet?

Davis · 02-14-2009, 12:21 AM

Nope haven't seen it yet Kelvin!

On my way home from work tonight I thought Id mess with my camera going home. Crappy edit, but I like how near the end the street light and music was in sync.

and look at the pretty lights.

EvilElvis · 02-14-2009, 12:29 AM

pretty solid. You should've got a vid of your autocross day!

Davis · 02-14-2009, 12:38 AM

I know Kelvin!

But I don't have a solid mount for it. In the video I just posted, I smushed the camera inbetween the headrest and seat.

But I'm odering a camera w/ mount for next autocross.

xltinlx · 02-14-2009, 12:41 AM

Ji, I havn't had a chance to go.. babysitting + rain = no go, plus I dont wanna take her in my mr2. I dont even have a booster seat for her. lol

so like, what do you guys think about 2 rear trd springs for 25$ + Shipping.. then i'll find some front trd springs from some where?

MR2 Owners Club Message Board&#8482 heres the link, but i dont know what kinda condition they are.. used of course

Davis · 02-14-2009, 12:44 AM

Buy the whole set, it's going to be a pain in the butt sourcing front springs.

xltinlx · 02-14-2009, 12:47 AM

you're a pain in the butt!!! =P

Davis · 02-14-2009, 12:50 AM

I saw one on here or the other forum (mr2oc) but couldn't find the link

... All stock very clean also red. The car is on some kind of parking structure. Maybe someone else have seen it? Please post link for Colin!!!

deucegirl03 · 02-14-2009, 05:11 AM

okay guys so this is what i have done thus far in my mission to tune-up the 2:

Pulled the TB off:

Pulled the EGR Valve off:

Pulled off the Intake Manifold:

I am soo tired and sore right now!

Dang mr2 engine bays are a tight squeeze! She made me work for it that is for sure....next step...clean everything and reassemble!

mr.asian.m2 · 02-14-2009, 11:34 AM

good job. but, damn...only a girl can get away with sitting on the car. i would cry if someone did that to mine car.

masagsxr · 02-14-2009, 11:44 AM

^+1... Thats what I was about to say

.... Looking at that I'm wondering how bad my intake manifold is... Oh, and why do we always work on car(s) with ou good cloths?

....

Ren: You should invest on some latex gloves for your pretty hands and not get dirty as much

junior40er · 02-14-2009, 12:17 PM

wow, makes me feel like pulling mines off too lol.

EvilElvis · 02-14-2009, 12:26 PM

yikes that throttlebody looks horrendous. I remember having to stand on my mk2 when I changed out the turbo, well on the trd bar at least haha

deucegirl03 · 02-14-2009, 03:29 PM

oh don't worry guys when i have a paint job i care about i won't sit on her like that!!!

i rarely wear gloves as i can't "feel" my way around when i am wearing them, usu only wear them when i am cleaning parts or packing bearings etc.
so my hands are mechanics hands...whatever...i am proud of them!

and yes if you have a high mileage car and haven't done this yet, i STRONGLY recommend taking a look at your intake system. that dang PCV blowby will corrode the system over time....so don't let yours get as bad as mine!

just have fun getting the intake man out with your big arms and hands....it was tough enough for me...but i did it all by myself go me!
course if you do this early enough you won't need to pull your man, just clean the TB/ISC/EGR..

Mark_Dorman · 02-14-2009, 05:04 PM

Is there something wrong with your fuel system? There should not be that much build up in there bleh. Glad you got it all apart. I wish I could sit on my two...i'd probably break it. I wish I had pictures of Matt standing in Jmoney's trunk...that was pretty funny...
