mr.asian.m2 · 01-27-2009, 02:56 AM

mark..i think your white one going to come out bad ass. seeing what you done to the red one so far. love it. but, i'm still not with you on the spoiler

i'm a second owner on my mr2. the first owner got it in 1991. and on the same year. sold it to me. and it been with me every since. and i didn't have the infor like how we do now and day. so, i couldn't do much to it until this pass few years.

your parents is right. you get better job after your school. having to said..."want fries with that?" is not a great job.

what would you guys do if one of your close friend stolen your mr2? it happen to me already.

randomxzero · 01-27-2009, 03:43 AM

actually the job im getting is not at a fast food place..
its at a law firm in the city of wilshire..
9 dollars an hour full time..
file clerk
and the way things are right now economically any job is good!

mr.asian.m2 · 01-27-2009, 03:50 AM

$9 is good for part time job. but, i would still finish school. just think. you can make 3 to 4 times or more when you finish school. unless you hit the lottery.

in that case....don't forget me

randomxzero · 01-27-2009, 03:52 AM

ha ha man its hard finding a part time...
of course i want going to leave school..
fulltime in the day and go to night school..
i wanna work and school..

honda_bar · 01-27-2009, 03:57 AM

Thanks christian, is it still in good shape? I can't remember

Anybody know what sandpaper to use when prepping your car?

Mark_Dorman · 01-27-2009, 03:58 AM

^What stage? I'd start with 320-400 prior to painting...

It's rough kiddo...trust me...it sounds easy and is doable at first. But it wears on you...

$9 is fair...but Frankie is right. You can make way more if you just stick it out through school. Can you negotiate with the Law Firm to let you work part time?

randomxzero · 01-27-2009, 04:01 AM

nah i cant its a full time gig.. :/
i know it'll wear me down..
ya well i should listen to you guys since you been through it..
i guess imma just have to wait..

mr.asian.m2 · 01-27-2009, 05:41 AM

this is me. the last white mr2 was mine. someone took the video with a phone. so, it was pretty bad.

YouTube - kim's tea house pt 5

Mark_Dorman · 01-27-2009, 11:13 AM

Your car looks sweet frankie!

I've never seen any of those MR2's in the other video. How old is the clip?

Davis · 01-27-2009, 11:52 AM

The only car I recognize is Khoa's (nsxtyperlb) Spyder. Authentic Veilside kit and turbo'd.

Black wheels? I'm disappointed Frankie.

dude Alex i am kinda nervous about the meet too. i don't know anyone yet either, but i can't wait to meet other 2 owners so the excitement overrides the anxiety.
my SW20 is my daily driver so its not the best ride in the world right now but oh well in time...also get school over while you are able to live at home! trust us on that...the sooner you do the sooner you will find ur niche and figure out what you wanna do w/ your life...

Davis i f*cking LOVE rotaries i am soooo jealous! someday when i have money one of my toys will be an RX-7!

It was a few years back and those MR2's belong to the owners found in the MR2OC site. I believe this was a cruise event made on that forum board.

Davis · 01-27-2009, 02:06 PM

I thought it was SoCal OC.

Come on now you two, no need to be nervous. All of us were once nubs!

Renata, I want one too but I like the 1st gens. Mmm.

mr.asian.m2 · 01-27-2009, 02:41 PM

davis... my rims is not black. just look black in the video. don't know why. it's gun metal. and it look like you own the mr2 the longest from your group.

i have own my mr2 longer then you guys. but, i'm ashame to be next to you guys. like i said... the work you guys done on your mr2 are going so much faster then mine. i guess old ppl can't do work as fast as the younger one.

yeah, i saw the SoCal video. but, could find anyone of you guys mr2 in there. so, i figure it might be an older group before you guys. i think the video was from 2006

thanks mark. my mr2 didn't have the side skirt or the 94 wing at the time in the video

deucegirl03 · 01-27-2009, 03:00 PM

yeah i like the older ones they are so sexy.....
and yes i have learned i gotta step out of my shell or else you might miss out on something!
