Ji shows no love to his 2 anymore frankie! He's moved on to BIGGER and better things and doesn't have space. He did/does take good care of it though!

Mixxer, I'm about to get out of a friends birthday dinner... Could you help me after mass? I have work at that time Also, what would you need from me if anything?

Hahaha...I don't know about the no love. She does still sit in the garage under a cover while the GS is outside in the 'cold' (haha not really here in Socal). But to answer your question Frankie, as much as I love the 2, she honestly doesn't get the attention she deserves. We have seven cars at our place, not including my roommates significant other's cars. Plus I'm really scared of driving her around town, she doesn't get driving in rain or if its wet outside! I drive like a grandma and I'm really paranoid about dings, scratches, and god forbid something she gets stolen. I keep Meguiars QD in the car just in case water, bird crap, etc. gets on her. I'm not in a rush to sell, I just want to see her go to someone who will appreciate her as much as I do and most importantly take good care of her. Mark is a perfect example of that!

Do you suspension in the dark? Done it before and it's not the most fun thing. Unless Mixxer has a really well lit garage?

^I was about to say that.... Mass ends at 6pm. Its dark by then. Here's an idea tho.... You can come over to my house early say uummmm 9-10am sunday and we can roll together at the taco meet by 1pm if you like. Whoever wants to come around that time is welcome as well. I guess more hands the better and we can work on it a lot faster. Put the car on all 4 stands and each of us take a side


Oh yeah, garage has become a storage so no parking there .... I've been meaning to spend good $$$ on a nice work light for cases when I really desprately have to finish the car after sundown but so far thanks for having a 2nd car (my truck) I just manage to do all the work I need during the day.

Hey Jcamry94...you gonna come on Sunday to the Taco Meet? It's in long beach. Doesn't matter if you have a two or not. We'd love to see ya there. Check out my siggy...
Well I have work until 8 o' clock that particular, so I think it would be too late to swing by...

Thanks for the invite though, I'll definitely try to make it to the next one you guys have

Hmm....

Not a terrible idea!

The only thing that sucks is I just realized your guys's next meet is a dropping meet and I think if I went to that as the first meeting with you guys it would be kinda rude...

Especially since I got springs&shocks for my camry i've been holding off to install for a half a year trying to save up to get someone to put in fo me.

And I don't wanna be like, "hey guys nice to meet you, drop my car now, BYE..."



I think an mr2 just needs to break down in front of my house, that would make everything all better

Haha...we are just lending knowledge and Mixxer is gracious enough to let us use his place. Its a lot more rewarding to do it yourself (save the money for food or drinks for the bbq and most importantly a 2!). And if you need a hand, we'll all be there to help. Don't feel bad for coming out to this event just because its your first one. Hope to see you there.

Frankie, that is one of my fears, another reason I don't bump my f/s thread. Haha. It took me forever just to post her for sale. Thanks for the compliment.

Dude!!! You totally need to come. It'll be fun. We're working on my sister's IS300 and Cinda's Camry so it'd be cool. We'd love to see ya and it's always good to get new people in the community and we can help you find a two and work on your Camry. A lot of us have or have had camry's so it's all good. Just bring a little money to pitch in for food and we're all good...oh...and your parts for your car

Ooooo that's her name! Bugging me for awhile that I forgot that cuties name.

Only if the V6s springs and struts were the same as the 4 bangers...Then I would just sell Cinda my set up for cheap and take hers and sell the Camry.

Yeah thats what it says on the letter... Maybe after I fix it then when I turn it in they'll just charge me $that processing fee? I'm looking at the letter in front of me as we speak and thats what it says even on lasuperiorcourt.org

Citation Number:
B089568
Full Payment - The amount due is $123 plus a e-Public Access service fee* of $10.00 will be added to this amount.

Wait what happened? $123 tint ticket?

Cynda will be there that Sunday with her bf if we get the struts. Still waiting to see if her parents want us to change out the struts. I'm pretty sure we will be.

Hey Davis, how about putting the stock GS suspension on your Camry? haha
