honda_bar · 11-03-2008, 12:32 AM

Hey guys, i thought I should share this with you. check this guy out... pretty good prices, but he is in the UK... mr2-ben on ebay, has a load of stuff.

Cjung · 11-03-2008, 01:59 AM

hmm that cd storage he has is kinda tempting... i wonder if shipping will make up for the deal he is making

Mark_Dorman · 11-03-2008, 08:22 AM

^You can get those for ~$40-45 shipped over here...so probably not.

Davis...I think that's a vvti motor. I need a 97-99 i believe...

Davis · 11-03-2008, 11:00 AM

^ Don't you mean Mixxer!!

and yep thats a VVTI motor alright.

Good news about yesterday though, I bought a new deck!! And the girl that was putting the grip tape on for me was super cute!

masagsxr · 11-03-2008, 11:38 AM

^woulda help if you stole a shot of her picture heheheehe..

So, that 92 ES wasn't good afterall huh? Thought you were going to try to get it for less. Oh well, theres more out there just gotta keep looking

Mark_Dorman · 11-03-2008, 01:37 PM

My bad...thanks for the heads up Mixxer...but yeah, I need a 97-99 1mz.

Davis...you don't grip your own boards? Guess if you can meet a girl that way power to you. You get her number?

masagsxr · 11-03-2008, 01:42 PM

I guess 2 engine model came out in 99? That one was 99-02 and u need 97-99? I'll keep you posted if i run across on one.

Davis · 11-03-2008, 01:54 PM

Why grip my own board if they do it for free

and damn she was cute and she did a badass job with the grip tape, perfect cut no bubbles. Best job i've seen so far and she did it fast! But no I didn't get her number haha.

masagsxr · 11-03-2008, 02:09 PM

Where is this as? Maybe I can have mine done. Take me to her DavisFTW LoL

Mark_Dorman · 11-03-2008, 02:40 PM

Yeah...the vvti ones are a pain I've heard. I'm gonna stick with the 97

I gripped my own boards cause I could do a better job and did the tail strip in the grip and most people can't do it right. Glad she did a good job. Next time get her number or get her to go grab yogurt or something with you...

xltinlx · 11-03-2008, 04:19 PM

hey does anyone know how much this would cost to fix it? stupid guy at the shop scratched my car...
before..

After

iono if you can see it but in this picture, there are alot of small cracks in my paint on the side of the bumper

Mark_Dorman · 11-03-2008, 04:40 PM

Might be able to get those out with some touch up paint and rubbing compound. Otherwise probably around $100 at a shop...

honda_bar · 11-03-2008, 06:06 PM

tin that sucks... stupid people

POST ACCIDENT UPDATE - DAY 5

Ok after fighting the people who had my car on friday (long story!) and not getting it... I went back to try again today they wanted to charge me 700+ dollars to get my car out [$300 storage, 235 towing (1 mile btw) and the rest fees and taxes!] I was naturally pissed and asked to talk to the manager. He was gone for the day they said....it was 1:50pm. So I told em I was going to talk to the guys insurance company and see what they could do. As I was walking back to the car to get the info, my phone rang. It was the guys adjuster who told me he had come on friday to look at the car. I explained how they were trying to RAPE RAPE RAPE me on charges and he told me to file a complaint with BAR (Bureau of Automotive Repair) and AAA. Then the lady comes that I was fighting with at the shop comes out and finds me to tell me that the boss is here. I went to talk to him and he said to 'wait and see what the insurance company is going to do, if they don't cover you, then I will charge you the 150 for the 3 days' <---- that is fair so I said thanks and I was on my way...

Now the guy that called whom came to do an estimate on my car said that they would declare it a total loss and said that without even checking it machanically, the cost is 4000-5000 bucks. He wasn't able to tell me what he thought it was worth but told me that it costs you 15% of the value to buy it back... So lets say my car (and I think it is) is worth 5500 (according to similar cars HT,NA etc....) that would be about $825 for my car back. This would assume that they would say 'Yeah Colin your positively right! your car is worth that much! Here you go!) but that is a uphill battle that might not even be fought...

Bottom line is that I'm still waiting...

and a 1% chance that insurance will be involved... So in light of that, I'm leaning towards a civil suit.

Cjung · 11-03-2008, 06:24 PM

well yea like i said in the trot thread my car got into an accidnet... it was my fault for drivin fast on the 55 to 405 ramp

the good thing is im perfectly fine and there was no other cars involved

the bad... my car is gone... (im kinda exaggerating here but for me it is cuz the frame looks damged)

ill post pics when i have time during the week

Mark_Dorman · 11-03-2008, 07:48 PM

is your insurance gonna cover it? Did you just loose traction? Post some pictures if you can. That sucks though dude...I'm sorry. Glad you're okay though...
