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

Yeah just come on over. It shouldn't take us long to do both cars and be at the meet by 1pm

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.

Thanks a helluva lot. I was hoping to go with the MAIN intent of being able to meet everyone anyway! And I agree 100% about it being rewarding to DIY, cause it definitely is!

Just bring a little money to pitch in for food and we're all good...oh...and your parts for your car

Nice, thanks a lot man.

I gotta say I've registered on several forums over the last year or two and you guys are by far the most supportive and overall kindest folks I've come across

Mark_Dorman · 01-17-2009, 04:29 PM

^Glad you think so. We like to think of ourselves as a welcoming bunch...but sometimes I just think we pat ourselves on the back too much

honda_bar · 01-19-2009, 02:59 AM

everyone be on the lookout for a tom's trd steering wheel! I want that so bad. Pics to come.

jigtrix, sell me yours with your hub and lock for 400!

thanks ji, however those aren't the ones that I'm looking for. The second one was the closest and I think we were looking at the same time cause I couldn't find anymore. I might as well post the pic...

o6spdracer · 01-19-2009, 03:20 AM

Ohh I know. I posted the ones above because those were the only ones I was able to find. I have pics of the one you are looking for.

honda_bar · 01-19-2009, 03:28 AM

Mark_Dorman · 01-19-2009, 03:49 PM

what does the lexus is300 look like? and will it fit onto the mr2?

Mark_Dorman · 01-19-2009, 08:50 PM

Here's a picture of one. They're pretty cheap. Got mine with the Airbag for $200...

Here's it fitted to my car...didn't put in the airbag yet but it works. You want an airbag adapter from SPX toyota. I can get you the part number if you want...

I wasn't gonna show anyone before I was finished but since it's you frankie I'll share early

Davis · 01-19-2009, 08:57 PM

Geez Mark! It looks great! Better then I imagined haha.

mr.asian.m2 · 01-19-2009, 08:59 PM
