yeah...but, i kind of like what he did to it so far. beside, it's kind of hard to track down any 95 turbo. if i get this. i bring it to the vegas meet. if not. i bring my civic?

honda_bar · 01-04-2009, 10:07 PM

better not!

If you get it, then im glad it goes to you

o6spdracer · 01-05-2009, 06:32 PM

Whats up everyone. Damn there was a lot of reading to catch up on.

Anyways, I'm looking to get some tuner/spline lugs for the GS. Does anyone know where I should go to get them and what brand to get? Nothing extravagent needed, I'm thinking McGard or Gorilla will work fine. Let me know what you guys think and how much I should spend. I need them by this weekend. Thanks!

Mark_Dorman · 01-05-2009, 08:05 PM

I like the WORK ones...

o6spdracer · 01-05-2009, 08:14 PM

Mark_Dorman · 01-05-2009, 08:17 PM

happy birthday again to tin who text me back at 2 something this mourning (it was his 21st if im not mistaken)

Today at work I saw a turquoise mr2 a 93 or course, in great shape pull into my work. Out of comes this OLD asian guy, around 80 or so. I thought I should say 'nice car' and approached him and did so. Turns out that he loves Mr2s but doesn't know tooo much about em but loves his dearly. He wanted to see mine and we chatted for 5 mins. I assumed his was auto but it had a short throw in it and only had 74,000 miles. He originally had a 91 turbo and sold it in 2000 for only 3k with low miles I might add. He bought the 93 for 9k in 2007. I asked him if he would sell his and he said that he bring himself to do it. I told him if on the off chance he does, sell it for a lot of money!

fun story...

Mark, can you mod the jdm climate control to add the usdm ac button?

Ben · 01-05-2009, 08:51 PM

You can simply switch out the US A/C button with the JDM unit. They are the same case with different guts.

honda_bar · 01-05-2009, 09:02 PM

I just started to research Ben, people keep saying different things. I know that the AC button will fit but I heard not to worry, just the AUTO won't work on the JDM ones... I'm confused

Sticky socal chat thread!

It sounds like it would be a fun hang out and chill meet. I can't make this, but will be at Chronic Tacos.

Hey Dorman, I was thinking about the lowering meet today. First, can or has anyone volunteered their place? I would, but our garage and driveways are packed. If there are a lot of people thinking about joining in on the lowering meet, I can bring two hydraulic jacks, 4 jack stands, cordless dremel and my portable tools. I won't be bringing my 2 if I do bring all these items. Is Mixxer bring his compressor?

honda_bar · 01-08-2009, 08:58 PM

Yeah we're trying to figure this out... I kinda want a tally sheet of the people that are going to be participating in this Ji. If we have too many, then I guess we will have to do mine earlier

Mark_Dorman · 01-08-2009, 09:46 PM

What do ya think Colin?

honda_bar · 01-08-2009, 09:55 PM

did you do that? looks great! I wanna see mine... I don't have my 2 with me, but I think I would go a shade or two darker to match my deck. I would like to compare and see it lit

mr.asian.m2 · 01-08-2009, 10:28 PM

very nice mark. i would love to see how it look with the light on.

Mark_Dorman · 01-08-2009, 10:32 PM

Yeah...I'm gonna redo them again and see if I can get them a deaper blue. It's gonna be hard to get a comparison since I don't have LED's in my cluster yet. I'll see what I can do though...
