Here's kind of what I've been up to...

CA OEM clean JDM headlight lense - Club Lexus Forums

Put the polisher I bought to use and cleaned out some headlights (except my own in my car). hehehee... That was an extra set of headlight I practiced on. I've cleaned 4 headlights so far after that.

mr.asian.m2 · 11-28-2009, 05:53 PM

hey guys, just to let you know. we got one texas mr2 owner moving to socal. his name is anderson. pretty nice guy. anyway, still feeling fat from all the food. so, i'm going to sleep to get more fat now. see ya

visuvius · 11-29-2009, 03:47 AM

Work in progress...

Wiseco .20 over pistons are coming on Tuesday and all the other parts have been sent off to be machined and balanced. Turbo is going in for a rebuild this week.

masagsxr · 11-29-2009, 06:00 AM

Very nice start Hamid... Take more pix of the progress if you get a chance or at least ask them to take it for yah. Those are always cool to see.

mr.asian.m2 · 11-29-2009, 02:46 PM

nice hamid. are you going for oem turbo or after market turbo?

visuvius · 11-29-2009, 06:01 PM

There is this shop in City of Industry called SP-Engineering (SP Engineering) and they're going to rebuild the turbo. They are going to install a bigger wheel and they're going to port the exhaust housing. They have lots of experience with rebuilding CT26's apparently.

mr.asian.m2 · 11-29-2009, 06:13 PM

if that is the case. why don't you upgrade your turbo. that was what i did. my ct26 was going out and had it rebuild to a ct27. which is the same as a ct20. only cost about $300 more. but, that extra whp will give you extra fun with it.

Thats basically what they are doing.

mr.asian.m2 · 11-29-2009, 08:37 PM

nice... you're going to love it.

guys, just did a swap on my exhaust this weekend. so, my TRD exhaust is gone. here is my new one. can't really hear it on this video due to the wind outside.

Whats up everyone! Man three pages to catch up on. I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving...even you Davis! Glad to see the finger is getting better.

Joey, you can eliminate fuel cut by pulling the vacuum line off the map sensor. Just make sure you plug both ends with something so you don't get a vacuum leak. Or if you have some extra money to spend, you can get a FCD.

Frankie, what did you do with the TRD Exhaust?

Looks great Hamid. Glad to see the ball is finally rolling. We have to have a meet to welcome your 2 back properly!

o6spdracer · 11-29-2009, 10:20 PM

Anyone looking for a cheaper OBDII Scanner? Expires in less than an hour.

mr.asian.m2 · 11-29-2009, 10:36 PM

my TRD exhaust went to a new home already.

sorry, i didn't know how badly davis cut was. didn't want to look at the pic due to me not being able to eat anything for thanksgiving.

but, hope you're getting better.

honda_bar · 11-30-2009, 01:19 AM

whats up guys? I hope y'all had a good thanksgiving.

Mix, did you enjoy the vid? They do a lot of cars and you can find them easily on youtube under "wheeler dealers"

Ji, I found what I think may be a rare color for the es300. I think that I would like that color (amost copper color) over the black.

hamid, did you wanna buy my black turbo badge??

mr.asian.m2 · 11-30-2009, 02:06 AM

i seen afew of their show. wheeler dealer. that's the only one with the mkI. wish they did one on the mkII. at the end. i think he sold it for 2000 pounds. not sure..but, is that like $3,000?
