She doesn't have to be a car lover. It would actually be worse if she was a car lover. You'll always be broke! haha. She just needs to understand your passion for cars (aka train her early). HAHAHA. j/k

Woooh.. this thread is really active.. 3+ pages since I post last night...

Thanks for all the welcome...!!!

Well.. thanks to all the Cali buyers though... cause apparently, the previous owner posted his car up for sale for almost 6 months to 1 yr and no buyer... Then I was on my trip to Vegas and I drove to LA to check out the car and bought it on the spot.

deucegirl03 · 02-26-2009, 11:37 AM

just caught up on the last few pages..welcome Andy! nice 2, like Mixxer mine is a work in progress and she is no where as clean lookin as urs...

hey Mark and Frankie you flatter me! *blushes*
i have always said the world would be a better place if there were more female gearheads..
maybe i can help fill the world with more of them!

Mark_Dorman · 02-26-2009, 11:50 AM

^Please do...we are severely lacking

deucegirl03 · 02-26-2009, 12:06 PM

i know it drives me insane its so hard for me to find chicks i can hang out with!

anywhoo on a diff note, once i get the 2 running i am thinking about deleting the power steering, for 2 reasons: i want to start lightening her up, and i never really cared for the disconnected feeling of a p/s system.
what do you guys think about that? i was just gonna bleed the system out, seal up the rack, and remove the pump.
thoughts?

Mark_Dorman · 02-26-2009, 12:10 PM

Hum...it's not a bad idea...especially since it won't be you daily driver. I always wanted to underdrive mine to get rid of the slightly disconnected feeling. Honestly the MR2 has a much better power steering setup than most Toyotas. I think that would work since Colin has power steering but it doesn't work

. The non-power steering rack might be lighter still but you can wait to swap that out for a bit cause you need different inner tie rod end links for that...

deucegirl03 · 02-26-2009, 12:13 PM

colin's doesn't work? i was in his car and didn't even notice...that's good..
yeah i was thinking about just bleeding it out for now until i have money for a man rack and rods.
cool i will prob try that out (after i get her back together) ill let you guys know how it goes.
alright off for another full day of work and school (i get my coil and dizzy today, yay!

)
peace out peeps...

Davis · 02-26-2009, 12:15 PM

Naw I wouldn't do that Ren. I know I've seen the whole manual rack assembly being sold on the forums for less than $200 + shipping. The power steering rack has a longer turning ratio than the manual rack. If you can find the manual rack, I'll help ya install it.

Mark_Dorman · 02-26-2009, 12:15 PM

It didn't use to work unless he got it fixed. Not sure though...Matt's is definitely not powered

Dun Da Da Dun!!! Davis to the rescue!!!

I work out

Which reminds me, mark, do pull ups work more muscles than chin ups? I'm thinking yes because your arms are outstretched more in comparison to a chin up. But your the pro!

Mark_Dorman · 02-26-2009, 01:56 PM

Different muscle groups...I'll explain later...

datguydeni · 02-26-2009, 02:13 PM

masagsxr · 02-26-2009, 02:15 PM
