So now you guys have 3 projects?

[masagsxr]

Yo Davis.. Lets crash at Alex house one of these days.. I want to help rebuild his extra engine.

[Davis]

Ask Aaron one of them rebuild kit.. Check ebay as a reference of what it comes with. I see them go between 200-300.

And oh, you need to get a new crank shaft too... hhmmmmm.... The benefit of this tho is the experience and that everything is new .... You just need to be super patient and make sure everything are in spec.

ya i took it apart just to kinda learn and whatnot..
rebuild wont be happening soon..

but im debating sell mr2 and get a reliable civic for a while until i can have enough money for an mr2 again..

or get another 1st gen and keep my 1t gen as a project

[gjcowher]

How many guys are there out here with MK3's??

[Davis]

Not many, most are on spyderchat.com. I'm trying to sell my MK2 in order to get a Spyder, but the one I wanted has already been sold. Welcome aboard though!

Yes guys, the miata and s2k talk was all lies in order to fool you and suprise you when i got the car! But now it was sold.

/Mindys FS thread.

Back to Mindys original plans. Paint and lots more stickers.

Who I'm I kidding though? I can't just sell Mindy off like that. She means the world to me and the dream I had last night with me not being able to eat or sleep because she was gone made me realize that! She's always been good to me, everytime we spin out, she makes sure we don't hit anything! :') and boy does she just loves to AutoX, I bet she'll be super sad if the next owner didn't AutoX her at all haha. Boy I'm I getting more sentimental than usual..

[masagsxr]

aaarrrggg Davis.. why did you blew it? U shoulda waited till you actually had the spyder

[Davis]

Right haha, oh well. I don't want to lie to everyone for so longgggg.

When the next 03' Spectra Blue is for sale I'mma grab it!

So ummm.. "Davis no longer selling Mindy" meet is in order?

[masagsxr]

Oh what??? Good decision either way .... So, whats next on to do list for her? Just stop by

[Davis]

I'm thinking paint for sure, then wheels for AutoX since that's where I'm lacking with the heavy 14s in SST and then that's it. Sit back and wait for the 5S to blow up and then hopefully I have a Spyder by then and turn Mindy into a full time AutoX car.

Argh, well off to work, gotta make the above happen some how right?

[o6spdracer]

Good thinking Davis. You have put a lot of time and money into Mindy. Man...you're making me sentimental.

[deucegirl03]

i got an AW i got an AW!!!!!!
'89 hard top, manual everything (its the one that alex posted a page or so back)
gonna part out the SW and smog fail that piece!
the engine needs some work apparently, but i'd rather rebuild a 4ag than a 5s...
yay i am soooo jazzed right now!

[Mark_Dorman]

^It's actually an 87'...but that doesn't really matter. 20 and 22 year old cars aren't much different. I'm so happy for you. You're finally getting what you've wanted! And for $600...you can't beat that with a stick

Glad to hear you're keeping Mindy Davis. You were making me sad. I'm glad I don't have to slap you for buying a Miata . I should have known you were trying to fool us

HAHA...FOOLED YOU!!!

[randomxzero]

ya i looked at it this morning..
tan interior looked decent, just the radiator cap had milky substance..
and valve clatter?

Nice come up Ren!

[deucegirl03]

oh '87? same difference. i am so happy! thanks Dorman for grabbing that for me. You rock!
and yes i am glad that davis is keeping mindy too, i also would have had to throw in a miata slap if that is the way you really went davis

club4ag here i come!!!!

[Mark_Dorman]

OH...you're the guy who looked at it before me. Trying to swipe the AW haha

Yeah...it definitely needs a rebuild. But it's exactly what Ren's been wanting. Manual everything, Hardtop, AW11

[masagsxr]

How much did you guys get that for Dorman? I had a feeling the guy would go lower but I guess according to Alex, you guys already made an offer for $650? tsk tsk tsk.... Shoulda offer less with cash in front of him.... I think he would have let it go for about $400
