Don't worry Ji...I have an account that I'm stashing money in. If you still have it in a year I'll probably have enough at that point. Sadly I still wanna spend some money on my current one...

honda_bar · 11-08-2008, 09:37 PM

mr.asian, the best pic was the last one!

I've already purchased the:

2. Rockford Power 2 channel
3. Rockford Power Subs (this weekend)
Over the next few weeks I'm planning on getting the:
1. Kenwood DNX8120
2. Boston Acoustic SL60 (front)
3. Boston Acoustic SL65 (rear)
4. 4 to 6.5" speaker adapters
5. Custom Box or fiberglass
6. Amp Rack
Still debating over a fiberglass enclosure or custom. So that will be the last steps. Speakers are on order for next week. And I'm waiting for a deal on the nav. If anyone has got one, let me know!
If anyone has any suggestions or thoughts, feel free to share them.

Last step, RIMS!!! I can deal with the stock ones for winter. Plus with the coilovers going in, it might take Crystal some time to get used to. Curbing stock rims is okay, new 19's staggered...not okay.

Just catching up... hey Ji, my cousin got that kenwood 8120 over at amazon.. $1K shipped or something. I installed it for him on his 07 Tacoma (or was it 06)... Anyway, he loves it. I don't know if you are an ebay junky like me but you can get up to 25% off ($200 max) on a single purchase if you buy that kenwood over at ebay. Go through live.com and do a search. Will take 60 days tho before they credit your paypal back or something. Yeah, must have paypal account and purchase a "buy it now" auction... I think I mentioned it on here before a 20 pages back or something

Thats going to be one sweet GS.

cousin's GS... MySpace.com - Ronnie My Photos - Photo 19 of 21

He has different wheels now. I couldn't find his photobucket link. He has those lowenhearts or something.

Awww Colin.. I'm sorry man.

Well I went out for a cruise today after doing maintenance minus fuel filter on my car:

Cjung · 11-09-2008, 10:16 PM

o yea today i saw an mr2 at beach and katella pickapart
the body is horrible state(paint wise) interior is funky

but it had a nice ecu and the turbo strut bar

i took the front driver side strut w/ spindle and brake caliber... the engine itseld didnt look like a turbo engine... it looked alot like the 5sfe "shrug"

but yea... not worth goin there unless u need small parts from the suspension like i did

EDIT: forgot to mention there is only 1 mk1 on the other pickapart (beach and ball)

masagsxr · 11-09-2008, 10:29 PM

Colin: Car is not fixable? i cold have sworn it didn't look that bad. What was the insurance conclusion about it? Too much to fix and they don't want to put up the $$$??? Daym that sucks man...

honda_bar · 11-09-2008, 11:09 PM

eww, not my thing. I need the money first brother. Yeah the damage was worse than first thought, it tore/bent some of the frame and messed the suspension. If the insurance

I want a car that is a 93+ that is hardtop or sunroof. I want a NA for now. Color doesn't matter. I would take a 91/92 hardtop possibly. I found this car and if insurance decides NOT to cover it or they give me the money I want, then I might try to pick it up..
Also there are a lot of parts that are in great condition, seats are pretty decent, tails, black mats OEM and almost everything else. So I'm going to strip that before I do anything with it. Also the engine is tip top and I wish I could save that... here is that green one...

Cjung · 11-09-2008, 11:09 PM

lol... tbh... that looks so nasty... but not bad for 94k miles

masagsxr · 11-09-2008, 11:42 PM

I didn't think it was that bad specially if u can get it cheap. Its going to be day and night difference once you get a good paintjob. Isn't that what we're all about? Pretty much get a car to restore slowly? :P

That one looks good Colin.... Good luck... I still cant' believe they are salvaging your car... Daym

Mark_Dorman · 11-10-2008, 01:13 AM

Dude Colin...that's a good find.

honda_bar · 11-10-2008, 02:06 AM

hey mixxer, did you see the wheels on that red car??? I really want something that is stock or close to it...

o6spdracer · 11-10-2008, 03:32 AM

Damn Colin...sorry dude. Lets talk later and catch up. I'll try to call you tomorrow.

Mixxer: Thanks a lot! I wonder how it works. I'll have to look at your earlier post. Is it easy to do? I'm not a big Ebay person. Crystal is though. I don't mind waiting to get the money back. I'll just have to order the install parts from Crutchfield or somewhere.

That guy hasn't sold it yet?? That was one of the first mr2s I looked at like 2 years ago. If it is the same, then it isn't 27k because the owner himself told me he doesn't know where it's at since the speedo is busted.
