I'm considering everything at this point

are you (we) going to prep for him? IF he's down.

masagsxr · 03-26-2009, 10:12 PM

I want the guy to do the whole job since he is more experienced with it. I'll just leave it up to him which is why I'm willing to double what he charges.

you're for real? don't make me cry now. my TRD exhaust is in very good shape. i just got one dent from the first week i had it. thanks to my ex gf. beside that. everything is great. i'll be in cali in june to meet up with you guys. so, you might want to check it out then. i didn't know you have the berk.

o6spdracer · 03-27-2009, 04:25 AM

Tin, I can help you out. Maybe Saturday? Mixxer you want to tackle this together? I'll shoot you an email. I don't know if I will have my IR by Saturday.

Frankie, I have a Berk on mine. One of the tips are a little bent. I'll show it to you when you are here and we can decide then. Its the newest version of the berk, V2, I think. Anyways, its got the berk stamp on the tips. The fitting is much better on this version than the previous one. I wonder if the TRD will fit up to the Berk DP. I'll have to look that up but if anyone knows, save me a search.

xltinlx · 03-27-2009, 05:00 AM

hm... I dont know if the berk exhaust im getting is v2 or not.. and it is sprayed all black.

pinoy_dorifto · 03-27-2009, 11:39 AM

sup guys,,,,,
crushed my mr2 and the lower part hit a rock, so my ac and radiator is messed up and also the lower radiator bracket where the radiator sits... does anyone know wheres a good shop who can help me out with reasonable prices??? probably the help i need will be at the lower radiator bracket since it is welded and part of the body.... here are the pics....

i really don't care about the paint and the bumper, just soeone who can fix the lowe radiator bracket.. anyone???

Mark_Dorman · 03-27-2009, 11:41 AM

Talk to Deucegirl03 (Renata)...she welds...

Tin, you're gonna need to clean that thing up. Make it look real nice. I'm down for working on cars this weekend!

So Ren and I worked on her car for over 12 hours yesterday. The car's idle problem has gotten a lot better but is still fluctuating between 1200-1500 rpm's. I'm super tired and am going to go PTFO...

Cjung · 03-27-2009, 12:38 PM

o dude sup... yea my parts car is messed up like that so my radiator bracket is no go...

btw guys.... my car does not shake a bit now... YAY haha i was only able to torque the strut bolts to 140lbs ill just go impact them later when i have some more time

and yea i was right the rims were bent so badly that shook the car horribly. i slapped on the rims i bought and i test drove it and it all works fine now. now im runnin 17 in the fronts and 15 in the rears.... hahah

masagsxr · 03-27-2009, 12:48 PM

nice...... let me know what time you are coming saturday or maybe I come to you and help you with your radiator flush.... I need to do mine as well.

datguydeni · 03-27-2009, 03:53 PM

masagsxr · 03-27-2009, 04:04 PM

Please do Deni.... I'm ready to drop my car off.... Thanks...

Mark_Dorman · 03-27-2009, 05:39 PM

Hey Mixxer...call me dude...

masagsxr · 03-27-2009, 06:06 PM

call you after I get off work.. whats up? Ji was telling me about a mini meet.... Depends if I'm not busy with customers tomorrow. Suppose to lower an Audi A4 and a honda prelude

Mark_Dorman · 03-27-2009, 06:17 PM

That could be fun. Didn't you want to do a coolant flush? I can help you with those if you'd like

Oh...and Ren's car is still having issues...

masagsxr · 03-27-2009, 06:30 PM

Yeah.. I gotta do mine. I need to. Just been busy.. Taking care of customers first since I get paid for it hahahahhaaa

What issue is ren having? I'm still thinking there is a leak on the egr pipe. How did you guys cap it? That line is suppose to squeeze the other end of the EGR making it perfectly sealed..... 1200-1500rpm is not bad tho.
