Buy a whole turbo car duh!!! LoL... I know you have some issues with your rear end but I am in no way will buy a rear clip and weld it together with another car. Even if what your after is the engine, will you really just drop that engine onto your car without rebuilding it? I'd buy a 2K maybe 4K clean mr2 even if the engine is blown and then rebuild it. I guess it is pretty hard to come up with that amount at one time.

Cjung · 11-23-2009, 01:09 AM

lol, well my car is alrdy lost hope regarding the body. Thats where the crazy stuff that i am planning comes in.

And my car rit now, it now has sentimental values. So no way I am going to buy another car that is going to replace the car I have.

masagsxr · 11-23-2009, 03:01 AM

Yeah, i know what you mean. Leave it the way it is

randomxzero · 11-23-2009, 03:11 AM

where was everyone this weekend?? thread was kind of dead

masagsxr · 11-23-2009, 03:35 AM

I was here all alone LoL.

David · 11-23-2009, 09:31 AM

What do you guys think of these? Sorry for the quality though.

Davis · 11-23-2009, 10:58 AM

Super cool dorifto! Haha your passenger was annoying as ****!

I wish we had rain here, it's been tooooo sunny lately.

David · 11-23-2009, 11:00 AM

It was my first time. My brother was the passenger. He can get really annoying. It's been a while since it rained here, so I took advantage of it. By the time we left, there was a huge dry spot where I was innitiating.

o6spdracer · 11-23-2009, 11:57 AM

Christian, what are you planning on doing to your 2?

While I understand the sentimental attachement to your car, I think practicality has to set in eventually. I don't see the purpose of spending large sums of money into a car that will never run or track the way you want it to. The rear end issues you have, are they repairable without costing you another car? I think building up a sentimental attachement to your car is inevitable, but you still have to realize that it is just a car and it can be taken away (list any possible devastating event here) and what is your sentiment worth then? Maybe I'm being too practical, but I would give serious thought to what Mix said.

Cjung · 11-23-2009, 12:29 PM

repairing the rear end would be fun and cheap.

the rear clip is still a mayb anywayz. And I dont see any frame damage except in the trunk, which it will not hinder the driving ability on the track. And i believe the large sum of money going into the clip is for the motor and tranny, not the having 1/2 a car thing.

Plus I think buying a whole another car and the motor I want seperatly would cost more than just buying a rear clip. savy money

thanx guys for the inputs,

visuvius · 11-23-2009, 01:27 PM

Will 3 60 mm gauges on the A pillar be distracting?

Any other easy mounting options? I don't want to lose my damn A/C vents.

o6spdracer · 11-23-2009, 02:15 PM

Yes! Swap out your double din head unit for a single and you can mount three there. Or you can mount two in the ashtray.

visuvius · 11-23-2009, 03:52 PM

I can't seem to find the ashtray mount and as I recall it requires some kind of fabrication to make it look right doesn't it?

Also I just got that damn pioneer double din!!!

I might go with 52mm Red Racer Defi's. Or I'm just going to go nuts and get the PLX setup.

masagsxr · 11-23-2009, 04:17 PM

Buy this and be done with it.

That one is awesome but I really don't want to lose my main AC Vents.

o6spdracer · 11-23-2009, 04:54 PM

Here are some ideas for you: Ashtray, A-pillar, AVC-R, and Dash Gauge Pods

randomxzero · 11-23-2009, 06:08 PM

I was going to include that link earlier hehee...

Yeah hamid.. Its going to have to be pillar pods then or drill holes right above the glove compartment just like on those other mods people posted.

Alex: C'mon now brother. You already know what you have to do (fix the block). The End

visuvius · 11-23-2009, 07:19 PM

Yeah, I think I'm going to end up going with the 3 gauge a-pillar pod.

Now I just have to decide between 52 and 60 mm.
