thx ren good luck with your car hopefully thats the last thing you need to do before shes on the road again

o6spdracer · 03-06-2009, 05:36 PM

Thanks Mixxer. Damn, his car is clean. That tte lip and JP tails are awesome. I would do a lip, but my GS is already pretty low. I'll take some pictures of mine and post them up when I get a chance.

Good luck Ren!

Mark_Dorman · 03-06-2009, 05:38 PM

Old school sleepers are cool...but old cars still drive like old cars. Depends on how old of a car you're thinking about, but with cars coming out these days it's becoming harder to practically match their performance numbers. I wouldn't put a lot of money into a car prior to the 90's unless it was a collectors/classic car.

Good to see Tin and Ren caught up

. Good luck with getting everything running Ren

o6spdracer · 03-06-2009, 05:44 PM

How about a Buick Grand National?

Mark_Dorman · 03-06-2009, 05:44 PM

I've seen some pretty crazy Grand Nationals...freaking Drag Cars

o6spdracer · 03-06-2009, 05:46 PM

Yeah. Awesome cars. I don't see too many of them now a days. I saw one for sale a few years ago. Very clean restoration and all original matching numbers and wasn't too expensive.

randomxzero · 03-06-2009, 05:55 PM

ya but just think of it this way one day they will become classics..
mr2's arent seen much on the street.. within 10 years there will only be less and less..
like my cousins neighbor..
super old guy has a dodge daytona sitting in his garage that he only drives once in a GREAT while...

Thank you sensei

o6spdracer · 03-06-2009, 06:10 PM

Yeah. Don't forget Crystal drives the car too. haha. I can't have it too low. I like where it is now. Check out this compressor Mixxer: 80 Gallon 7hp Craftsman

visuvius · 03-06-2009, 06:32 PM

I'm hearing a sound in the engine bay of my 2 and its driving me crazy. It sounds like something plastic or metal or I don't know what is resting against something else and vibrating as I accelerate. I can't hear it at low RPMs but at high RPMs it is pretty noticeable. It seemed like it only did it when the engine was cold but I've noticed that it makes the sound when its warm as well.

I tried recording it and you can kind of hear what I'm talking about in this video. You can hear it better if you turn it up.

Anyone have any idea what this could be? Hopefully its not anything too crazy. Thought I'd ask here before making a new post in the forum.

This is a 93 Turbo.

masagsxr · 03-07-2009, 02:13 AM

Nice... Colin was telling me a little about it. I guess now I gotta go see the movie....

Ren: How's the car? Any luck?

honda_bar · 03-07-2009, 02:42 AM

looks like there is some catching up to do.

I'm going to bed, thanks for hooking it up. My car sounds different now and has a littttle bit more go

Ji, thinking about turning it over to collections, there's just a lot of hassle involved.

Frankie, I would give the movie a 8.5 Dr. Manhattan is insane.
