oh, I don't really lurk. I often open up other windows and come back to this one after a while making it seem like I'm ALWAYS on

. I was perusing the ocforum to look at how the sale was going and then got caught up looking at the FS section.......

I'm going to attempt to install the rear carpet today.

Mixxer/Davis, I wanna cheat the meet (sort of) and install my ST springs sometime next week, maybe next week thursday? Mixxer, would you uh please pretty please help me?

My springs will be here probably by saturday. I'm going to do my front brakes at the 'drop a duece' meet (mark, can you tell me what exact pads you bought?) Davis, if mixxer doesn't mind and is free, maybe you might wanna come out for the heck of it?

Off to see the CHP! Mark, the office is really close

Davis · 01-15-2009, 01:24 PM

Hey Colin I'm down for thursdays. I'm free from the morning to 5pm.

masagsxr · 01-15-2009, 01:25 PM

Can't do it on weekdays but i'm free anytime on weekends... I work Mon-Friday 8-9am to sometimes 7pm and off both weekends..

If saturday or sunday is ok for you just come on by and I'll help yah. I guess we'll catch up and talk about what you want to do on our Taco meet in LBC if you are coming.

Mark_Dorman · 01-15-2009, 02:49 PM

OOOhhhh...Mixxer...can you give me a hand with my clutch job? Davis and I were planning on doing it next sunday. Would you possibly be able to host? Maybe we can all get together then and work on our cars (Davis, Colin, Mixxer, and I).

Hey Colin...
I got these: Twos R Us - Parts for Toyotas from Club MR2
Just make sure to get the 91/92 turbo ones

Mark_Dorman · 01-15-2009, 03:15 PM

Can you believe this guy?

Mk II TRD Strut tower braces

o6spdracer · 01-15-2009, 03:16 PM

Hey Mark when are you going to come by for the trans? Let me know what is convenient, weekend or after 9pm on weekdays are better for me.

thanks mark. but, i just going to place my order with him soon.

Mark_Dorman · 01-15-2009, 03:25 PM

Cool...if you don't get one I'll still save one for ya!

Oh...and Ji...Do you think we could put it in the two if I took out the passenger seat?

Sure... Let me know when/where. I suppose we'll need another jack to hold the transmission when we're pulling it down.

Yeah, i kinda hijack that guy's thread and said Aaron posted a sale hehehehe. Daym that guy is crazy.. But look, he's not posting anymore... Probably felt embarrass hahaha

masagsxr · 01-15-2009, 04:02 PM

By the way, Still waiting for Aaron's call back... On his post it seems like all orders have been made and he'll just return the calls from people that left a message to see if he can still accomodate.

honda_bar · 01-15-2009, 05:48 PM

thanks mixxer! glad your coming to the meet. We changed the time to 1 so people can do the church thing

A special thanks to mark for always taking the time to help me out. Mixxer, Ji and Davis, you guys are always willing to help me out, thanks bros!

you too matty!

Can't wait for those springs and Braces! Good job socal, flooding aaron with orders! hahaha. I wonder what local dealerships are sellin em at???

Mark_Dorman · 01-15-2009, 05:53 PM

I checked yesterday and they were normal price. I'll check again.

No prob Colin...you know I got you!

honda_bar · 01-15-2009, 05:55 PM

OOooohh, mixxer, I do have one more favour for you if I may. Remember the report with paint and the parts that you did up for me a while back? You would be doing me a huge favour if you could do one up again with say a labour rate of $56 bucks and paint rate of $38?? Please Please Please! I need one for Jan.22nd my court date....

masagsxr · 01-15-2009, 06:24 PM

Do you still have the old report? I forgot what I added on there... Or since you have your car in the shop they should be able to give you a more accurate estimate.... Would be crazy to look through this 80pages of thread to find the attachment I posted a while back hehehehe

Dorman... Aaron only let me order 1 set plus he said he can't ship it on the same box as yours anymore. Shipping to norwalk for 1 set is $28 bucks for a grand total of $286.

Let me know if you want me to cancel. Otherwise, he says he'll let me know if the order went through with Toyota's distributor.

masagsxr · 01-15-2009, 06:33 PM

I found the old report on my computer... labor is set to 45 and rate is also set to 45... You want me to change it to $56 and $38? Its only $4 difference..

here's the old report.

masagsxr · 01-15-2009, 07:17 PM

Here is another estimate with Labor $56 and Paint $38. The difference with this one compared to the attachment on my previous reply is that, I selected "REPAIR" on most of the parts. What that means is that, the body shop will not replace the broken parts but will fix, refinish the broken parts if they are still salvageable.

masagsxr · 01-15-2009, 07:46 PM

Here you go. I believe this one is the most accurate. Good luck in court.

honda_bar · 01-15-2009, 08:50 PM

Thanks bro!

Mark_Dorman · 01-15-2009, 08:54 PM

That's cool mixer...works for me. Just let me know if it goes through

dangitseric · 01-15-2009, 09:16 PM
