mr.asian.m2 · 02-16-2009, 01:50 AM

yeah, i'm a slow reader. that's what happen to old ppl. well guys, chat with you all tomorrow. i got an early day ahead working on my mr2. getting it tune and idle tomorrow. wish me luck.

honda_bar · 02-16-2009, 01:51 AM

It came with side vents (which I'm selling for 15 bucks to some guy that was begging me to have em) and the 3 peice spoiler. It cost 50.00 but I guess it will be 35 after! it was really far to go to get it though

Mark_Dorman · 02-16-2009, 03:01 AM

^That's a good price dude.

Dang all...I was off the board for 10 hours and had a full page to catch up on. I need the internet of my phone

Hey Shadow (real name???)...I was assuming it wouldn't be overnight that you would be putting that much power down considering most people don't have 8-10 grand to dump into their car at once (in this circle at least). I think you'd be really happy with 250-275 whp on your car. The MR2 is pretty light compared to a lot of cars with that much power. But Evilelvis (is it Alvin???) is right...you need some good brakes (93+ turbo might do it with some good pads), suspension, and rubber to control that kind of power. All that gets costly and big tires to hold that kind of horsepower are not cheap. We can talk about it a lot more this weekend. Alaine would be a good person to chat with...

Hey Davis...I feel ya buddy. I haven't been surfing in months and my back injury has kept me from snowboarding for a couple weeks. Going this friday though...

Shadow. · 02-16-2009, 05:08 AM

Yeah I'm liking the power I'm at at 6psi I would enjoy 280whp I just want the ability to push 360whp for when those damn evos come around. Remember I live in Arcadia, so many kids that think the bmw their parents bought them is the ****, I just love crushing dreams in my $5000 car. =]

Mark_Dorman · 02-16-2009, 09:15 AM

I know how you feel. Though some of those Bimmer's are fast...(modified at least). Honestly though...with 300 whp on tap and some good driving experience under your belt you'd walk kids like that. I'd be careful about racing on the streets though. The little quick launch and on ramp races are all fun and stuff but be careful...none of us want to see any of our fellow members in serious trouble with the law or in bad accidents. But yeah...screw evos

masagsxr · 02-16-2009, 11:03 AM

I'd like to have the Subaru ST-i over evo.. 04-05 body style

Mark_Dorman · 02-16-2009, 11:12 AM

I think the new STI is pretty B.A.
It's a B-A-M-F...a bad @ss mother F*@ker...a BAMF

Hey colin...here's a picture of that wing on a less modified MR2

masagsxr · 02-16-2009, 11:16 AM

Oh yeah... I saw one just recently and it sure looks nice.... I'd vote for that too 04-05 and I guess thats 08+?

Davis · 02-16-2009, 11:44 AM

STy?

I've seen a couple of those stickers on evos, pretty funny. I'm all for the RS 2.5

and it's Kelvin, Mark!

Aww stupid rain once again ruins skateboarding.

masagsxr · 02-16-2009, 11:50 AM

Yeah daym... Whats the weather like these weekend? We going to lower rain or shine? heheheheh

Davis · 02-16-2009, 11:55 AM

I don't know..lowering in the rain doesn't sound to fun and same with bbq.

masagsxr · 02-16-2009, 12:12 PM

C'mon... We did the tranny in the rain didn't we? That was fun

.....

Mark_Dorman · 02-16-2009, 12:21 PM

Yeah it was...especially being under the car as rain was falling through the engine bay. Gotta love the wet cement mixed with gear oil too

My bad...Sorry Kelvin. I'm bad with names.

I don't think it'll rain this weekend. That's way too much rain in a week

Edit*
The weather forecast says there's only a 10% chance of rain on sunday but that can change...

masagsxr · 02-16-2009, 12:23 PM

I hope so....... Did you get a chance to finish Mindy? Curious how the new clutch feels.

Mark_Dorman · 02-16-2009, 12:32 PM

Mindy is Davis' car...

My red one is Saki...and the white one is Morgan

I haven't had time actually. I need to get in there and bolt everything up. I also need to bleed the clutch line and put in the diff. oil...

Davis · 02-16-2009, 12:36 PM

Yeah! Get it right Mixxer!!

At first I was like finish wah? O_o

masagsxr · 02-16-2009, 12:45 PM

Oh Do'h.... this is why I get in trouble with the ex LoL.. hahaha... Nah.. i'm a good guy man.. I don't get names mixed up like that... usually

Mark_Dorman · 02-16-2009, 12:47 PM

I try not too

Shadow. · 02-16-2009, 02:26 PM
