honda_bar · 09-05-2009, 03:45 AM

Mark_Dorman · 09-05-2009, 03:56 AM

Well yeah...Red T-Tops is pretty much the most common MR2...

honda_bar · 09-05-2009, 04:12 AM

i spotted 2 on the drive home. one was and usually parked near my work.

Jmoney · 09-05-2009, 05:55 AM

Hey Ji were still going to see you around right? I hope that just cuz your selling your car doesnt mean you wount still be apart of the community

Question to all.... what do you guys think are the best two tone colors, when I get my car back I want to do a two tone color sceme was thinking black/white but i see that too much and I am not a fan of red so thats out, what kind of two tone paintjobs do yall think would look good maybe somthing a little exotic but not over the top

David · 09-05-2009, 07:19 AM

SMG on bottom and black on top.

o6spdracer · 09-05-2009, 01:14 PM

Of course Justin! I'll still be around. I'm not really a fan of the two tone. But I have seen other cars with a Flint Mica on bottom and Black pearl top. That looked pretty good. Maybe someone with some good photoshop skills can put something together for you.

David · 09-05-2009, 01:19 PM

I have good gimp skills. Give me the pic, show me the colors and I could do it.

oDereko · 09-06-2009, 03:29 AM

Okay, so im going to try and tackle an oil pump gasket leak this week. This would be my first big repair like this with the two and i would like to know steps on getting the oil pump off. I just need to know the order of parts to take off. I can figure out how to remove the stuff, I just need to know what to take off, in order...

Also if you have done anything like this tips and tricks would be helpful. I NEED to stop this leak! Thanks in advance!

Jmoney · 09-06-2009, 05:52 AM

David, I dont have any pics of my car but if you could put together a couple of black and white two tones together that would be sick both with black rims an a 98 wing if you can find one I want the wing black and on one make mirrors black on the other white thanks. I was also thinking of like an si blue or the blue they use on the 350z but without the sparkles

derek I have never done that but good luck with it

datguydeni · 09-06-2009, 12:16 PM

ugh you sure blue???

Dude...whatever you do...don't do what the manual says. The FIPG only method always leaks. Use all the torque specs but get a oil pan gasket from an autoparts store. Especially since the engine is still in the car...getting the block surface clean and dry will be close to impossible (oil will drip down for hours). Good luck...PM me if you need any advice.

Where can i get all the torque specs? Are they in the manual?

masagsxr · 09-06-2009, 06:40 PM

Our man Frankie needs a B-pipe and exhaust manifold off N/A... If you guys happen to have one, please let him know. It's for a good friend of his..... Not sure if Christian (cjung) still has one but I think he let them all go when he had his parts car towed to the yard.
