Yeah I did.. But that guy just has the fron'ts to... I guess if you are looking for 93+ it would come with those wheels you want unless ofcourse those guys have upgraded and sold the stock ones.

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.

Yeah its preatty easy. If you have a hotmail account you are already automatically a member of Live.com. You just have to go to live.com website and sort of activate it. So far I have about $180 cashback waiting. Those tokico shocks I bought? $308 or something after the cashback. Ofcourse I have to pay the full amount first of $405 shipped on ebay - 25% off.

o6spdracer · 11-10-2008, 07:00 PM

I see it only as 6% off. Am I doing something wrong? I searched the live.com for the DNX8120 and it pulled up three stores that carry them. I signed up for the live.com account and have the hotmail email account. Or do I have to search on Ebay? Man..I'm a newb.

masagsxr · 11-10-2008, 10:06 PM

Do a most common search on live.com (ie. ipod touch). It will show a 25% off linking directly to ebay's website. From there you will see a 25% off banner on top. Make sure that stays there. Once on ebay, do a search for dnx8120 then click on buy now. Here is a screenshot.

o6spdracer · 11-10-2008, 10:20 PM

I tried it and it still doesn't work. It says I need a Microsoft Cashback account. I signed up for a hotmail account and updated my paypal info. But it won't let me update my ebay email address because my username is the same as my email address. Do I have to change that too?

masagsxr · 11-10-2008, 10:28 PM

nah not at all. All you really need is to have an ebay account, pay with paypal and a live.com account which is really the same as hotmail. Thats pretty much all i did. Well, I guess it was a coinscendence that I signed up with paypal using my hotmail way way way back but i dont think that matters.

If you are already a member of hotmail. Go to live.com and click on sign it. Sign in using your hotmail account (it should work) and It should guide you though a few things to activate that microsoft cashback. Do all that before you make your purchase.

masagsxr · 11-10-2008, 10:30 PM

Here is my live.com cashback account to show you its working for me

o6spdracer · 11-10-2008, 10:37 PM

hahaha. Thanks man. I activated my cash back account but it still won't pull up the 25% off. I logged into to live.com using my hotmail info and then searched live.com for the h/u and pulled it up (25% off banner was still on top of the ebay page), selected buy it now, but when it went through the review process, it didn't have the cashback info on it. BTW, can you PM me your number?

masagsxr · 11-10-2008, 11:08 PM

really? thats wierd.. I just showed you the screenshot there of the 8120 25% off.. It should be the same on your end... ok i'll pm u my number...

Hey Colin, here is a red '91 hardtop but its pricey: 1991 Toyota MR2 Coupe (4170)
Another '91 Hardtop: 91 mr2 TRD hardtop 2000 obo
Here is another, I think Tin already posted it ('91 white/blue sunroof):
1991 MR2

masagsxr · 11-11-2008, 01:24 PM

Anyone know the count how many 91, how many 92, how many 93, 94, 95 they made? It seems like the number of 1991 MR2s made is the same as 92-95 combined together... So many 1991s out there.

Davis · 11-11-2008, 01:31 PM

Hmm remember how my taillights had an intermittant short Ji? Well the one of the two element in the bulb fell and was touching the other element, so with all the vibration and what not, it completed the circuit with every bump. I thought that was interesting..

Was thinking about it the whole time driving to toyota to grab some light bulbs and I always thought my license plate bulbs were out, but guess what? The previous owner had tons of overspray on the plastic!! and after cleaning that up the bulbs were actually out...

Mark_Dorman · 11-11-2008, 02:28 PM

^That's funny...My license plate lights were oversprayed too...and my bulbs were out...

o6spdracer · 11-11-2008, 05:00 PM

Nice, happy to hear it was a simple solution. Good thing it wasn't a short somewhere.
