it depending on which parts you are looking for.

SW20jiro · 08-25-2010, 01:47 PM

Why do people always order OEM parts from lithia in springfield? Are they the only place that sells OEM stock parts? I would assume there is a place in SoCal area to get the parts quicker/less shipping, but i always here lithia this and lithia that! Not that I am hating by all means.

Im new to the area still, but i went to autozone in LA area and they only had like MADE IN MEXICO hoses and what not. Cant say thats purely bad, the hose is still hanging in there. But I would be more satisfied with an OEM component! Just because i am toyota bias...

and also, Whens the next MR2 meet?!

Davis · 08-25-2010, 02:59 PM

^ Well Jiro, that's an easy one also.

1) They know MR2s, so they can get you the right part you need the first time around.
2) You also get a board discount, saving some money is always good right?
3) They are MR2 people, and they're also our sponsors.

Support the sponsors!

There's MR2uesdays every week. Check out mr2oc.com to find out where and when!

theish626 · 08-25-2010, 06:14 PM

Good brands for intake?? An I heard I don't need a down pipe only the filter is dat true

honda_bar · 08-26-2010, 11:59 AM

nice shots davis, but why are you running with a miata and s2k?

SW20jiro · 08-26-2010, 03:23 PM

word! discount you say?? How do you apply for that when you order online from their website?

I saw an article How to Do the SW20 3S-GTE Timing Belt where the parts are listed as discounted. Like the idler pulley for instance is $50.34 instead of the $104.49 that lithia website quoted for me! I assume that this is the board discount. Thats a huge difference...

hey guys might be a dumb question but does anyone know if a 96 jdm front end fit on my 91?

mr.asian.m2 · 08-30-2010, 04:18 AM

front end? like you going to weld the whole front half of a car to your back 91? if yes...not a good idea. if you get hit hard my other car. you are gone.

PooPie · 08-30-2010, 04:40 AM
