Yeah its no fun running in sm2 or even B-mod if they're feeling charitable.

edit: whoa Colin that some scary stuff!

masagsxr · 03-09-2009, 12:34 PM

Which junkyard do you go to Alex? Ecology (the one by Imperial) sucks. I used to go to this place in Santa Ana years ago and they were awesome. Not sure how it is now.

Good luck on the interview today

Im down, my money should be almost all spent up by then. =]

I do reserve like $500 just incase something happens but its hard to hold more than that.

How much is it for the day at AutoX?

o6spdracer · 03-09-2009, 06:22 PM

Damn Colin. I'm glad you are okay.

Is anyone interested in some Volk Evolution IV's?

Davis · 03-09-2009, 06:34 PM

California Sports Car Club - Solo - SCCA If you want more info.

Basically, if your not an SCCA member you'll have to buy a weekend membership which is $15.

You'll have to pay another $30 to participate in the event or $15 if you have a student I.D. (Which is 3 runs)

You can buy X Runs (Another 3 runs) for $25.

I'll let you do the math.

masagsxr · 03-09-2009, 07:08 PM

Daym all those requirements? hhhmmmmmm

SF-Jim · 03-09-2009, 07:15 PM

Hi All,

I'm new to MR2.com. I'm looking to finally paint my MR2, which is in the Southern California (Lake Forest) area right now. I checked out a few places to get it painted and received some outrageous quotes. Wondering if anyone out there knows a good shop that will paint an entire car for a reasonable price.

Marco's in Alhambra told me it could be $4,500 to as much as $20k!

Thanks.

o6spdracer · 03-09-2009, 07:24 PM

What kind of paint job are you looking for? Show Quality or factory or slightly below factory? And what is your price range? I have a few places I can refer you to depending on what you are looking for.

datguydeni · 03-09-2009, 07:32 PM

mmm iknow a guy who will paint the car entirely for 250. he just starting out in the business. he will do 5 coats. 2 base 2 clear 1 actual paint i believe. only thing is that he doesn't wax or clay. in SD area. friend got his done there, was a decent job.

honda_bar · 03-09-2009, 07:56 PM

really dennis? have you seen the work? it's almost to good to pass up...

o6spdracer · 03-09-2009, 07:56 PM

^ Damn. That is cheap. Does he strip/prep the car too or spray over and colorsand?

honda_bar · 03-09-2009, 08:02 PM
