randomxzero · 07-01-2009, 11:40 PM

ya haha and its been raining like crazy!
funniest part all the hondas are riced out like crazy..
neon lights, stickers everywhere, type r on nissan

... and every small pickup and car has a fart can exhaust..
coolest car i seen though is this one...
reminds me of a Yaris but with an aggresive look

Davis · 07-01-2009, 11:43 PM

Oh damn, I've never seen a Peugeot on the road before. Very cool.

masagsxr · 07-02-2009, 12:02 AM

Daym alex... I wouldn't have expected your dad owns a shop there. Its funny he doesn't even seem to give you tips about the car. I guess thats something he left over there and didnt' want to bring back here in the states heeheheehee.... Bring home all the special tools you can for when you work on the car. Torque ratchets, wrenches, piston ring clamps etc..... We'll sure need it

Davis · 07-02-2009, 01:12 AM

Oh yeah, does your bro like the seats?

masagsxr · 07-02-2009, 01:18 AM

He had an appointment somewhere with his daughter so he was in a rush to leave. He is sleeping at his house tonight so probably install it tomorrow after work.

1stgen · 07-02-2009, 02:00 AM

Sherriffs....every time...so my V6 build might be coming a little quicker than I thought it would...my exhaust has been smellin a little sweet lately. I hate to even speak the words as I dont have a turbo car but its a problem than does plague them most often. I dont think its too bad yet no noticble difference in power just a little smell in the exhaust and a slight diesel start and stop.. If it can last till the end of the month I should be good..then I will be on holiday/work in Tahitti for 2 months and come back with enough $$ for a nice v6 swap and mabye a TRD SC to sit on top of it..sigh..

Mark_Dorman · 07-02-2009, 03:07 AM

^V6 would be sweet. Would you be doing the 1MZ? It gets expensive after a while. The TRD charger adds over $2500 alone

. I'm glad to see there are still some people out there thinking about V6's

That's a tough one. They only take one or two candidates per 1000 applicants.

deucegirl03 · 07-02-2009, 03:13 AM

wat up peeps.
so Mark and I picked up a 7 rib 4AGE long block with a few extra goodies on Monday night. we had to drive out to Hesperia (out past Victorville) to get it, but it was so worth the drive. we got it for such a good price! it was rebuilt about 2500 miles ago, its been sitting for about a year tho and a little moisture got into one of the combustion chambers so it will need to be cleaned up, but everything on it is brand new, including the vacuum lines and the ignition system!

i am gonna take pics of the car and the long block tomorrow, along with starting the process of prepping the '91 to be sold.
see all you guys then

o6spdracer · 07-02-2009, 04:31 AM

^Congrats! Damn you guys are all over the place!

Colin, awesome! Congratulations! Now we have to plan a celebratory meet. Dorman, Colin, Mixxer, Davis, any ideas? I'll email you guys. I think this will probably be my last meet with the 2. I'll still come out and check in.

Mixxer, are you still set on a SC? Did you ever check out the ones I emailed you?

masagsxr · 07-02-2009, 11:25 AM

Not set on SC but whatever good deal comes along. Ren and Dorman seems to be having a lot of luck over there.. Maybe I should have them hunt me one hehehehehe

o6spdracer · 07-02-2009, 12:19 PM

Its hard to find an SC with low miles, manual, and clean. If I find anything I'll let you know.
