i always say ill keep it simple...never happens..

xltinlx · 06-14-2009, 02:09 AM

Mixxer you know you gonna put a 2jz in that thing and go crazy!

honda_bar · 06-14-2009, 02:10 AM

RIP mixxers car

randomxzero · 06-14-2009, 02:19 AM

Hopefully it went to a good home! If not, like Colin said,"RIP Mixxers Car."

o6spdracer · 06-14-2009, 04:18 AM

I'm sure Mixxer wouldn't sell it just anyone. If the new owner ever visits the thread...Welcome! You got your hands on a very well maintained 2!

1stgen · 06-14-2009, 06:31 AM

So I go under my car today to change my oil..and I realize this might not be all that safe...(not really but wanted to share a hilariously unsafe photo)

masagsxr · 06-14-2009, 11:51 AM

Don't worry ya'll... the car did go to a good home. I did background check on the guy and everything LoL....... Spoke to the mom etc and the guy looks like a very responsible individual. He knew a lot about the car by reading and just now trying to apply what he has learned hands on by being a new owner.

Yeah, we always say keep it simple but we'll see what happens.

1stgen: Daym is that thing high enough or what? I've always wanted to buy that kind of jack. Any recommendations where I can get one?

Mark_Dorman · 06-14-2009, 12:43 PM

Seriously...that Jack is Ridiculous!

Damn Mixxer

...I didn't even know it was for sale

. I'm bummed but at least you'll get something else you want. Turbo 2jz

...Ji will talk you into it

. Now I feel like I need to get another car

/

. So in a matter of months we are losing Mixxer, Ji, and Davis as MR2 owners. At least we're all still friends

o6spdracer · 06-14-2009, 01:14 PM

I'll still be around...checking up on Tin and giving him a hard time. haha. We'll all still definitely hang out. I'll be seeing Mixxer on CL!

1stgen · 06-14-2009, 01:17 PM

Was like a 36" hyjacker or somthing.but Cause its got race in the name....so I will have my TRD rear strut bar in the mail sometime this week.. paid 200$ for it used.. shipping is another thing..Is the TRD"sticker" is that a sticker or a metal placard.

mr.asian.m2 · 06-14-2009, 02:41 PM

Davis · 06-14-2009, 08:36 PM

Yay Friends! Well I came back home from my last AutoX with Mindy, I'll post vids in a bit..

Aww Yeahhh!! In car videos! Mindy was getting quite tail happy in both these runs.

You Tube

You Tube

Oh yeah! Check out the awesome sticker I put on on Friday!!!

masagsxr · 06-14-2009, 11:24 PM

Looks fun... who was ur passenger on the 2nd vid?

masagsxr · 06-15-2009, 12:29 AM

What a sale at Harbor Freight today. Between my brother and I, we bought about $250 worth of tools and probably saved about $80....

o6spdracer · 06-15-2009, 04:03 AM

haha. Damn Mixxer! What'd you get?

Mark_Dorman · 06-15-2009, 04:19 AM

I should have made Ren pick up an engine stand this weekend.

Well...Ren and I dropped her motor in about 4 hours. Probably would have been faster but we hit a few snags and had to take the long way around to remove a few parts. It wasn't too bad...i'm just sick of the 5s

___________

Hey Davis...How are your times improving???

randomxzero · 06-15-2009, 06:03 AM

dam Davis that looked like fun! i would have probably slowed you down due to my weight!...

Mixxer did you get me any tools haha jk...

Davis · 06-15-2009, 10:15 AM

That's my AutoX buddy.

Times are getting better Mark, but nowhere near the miatas (75.xxx)! My last video, I could've had like a 78.xxx if I didn't get tail happy (1:11, when the camera moves). That was my best time though.

79.995!

Haha naw Alex, my times actually improved when I had passengers!

masagsxr · 06-15-2009, 11:15 AM

Just a bunch of small stuff, goggles, air tool, screw driver set, plier set, 3/8 torque wrench, razor blades, new creeper since I think Christian broke mine when he kneeled on it when we were flushing his coolant.. you guys remember? hehehee..... Then my brother bought some stuff to fix the kit for his lexus (sanders, horse stands, another creeper for himself etc....)

Davis · 06-15-2009, 12:04 PM

Nice Mix!
