MR2 So-Cal brother needs your help!

MisterSquared · 11-01-2008, 09:07 PM

Whats up guys & gals?

I'm putting this out there, just in case anyone can help me.

I'm currently having some issues with boost (it builds very slowly, finally hitting 15PSI by like 6500RPM), and I have tracked it down to one of two things.

Its most probably due to the WG flap being interfered with by the DP I had installed months ago, since all this happened right after that part was introduced into the equation.

ANYWAY, to remedy this issue I have bought a Berk v2.0 down pipe, and am currently sitting on it since I cant install it my self. I currently have neither the tools nor the space to do this!

So, basically, what I need is for some kind soul to help me out here. If you have a little spare time (only a coupe of hours at most), a place to work, and the basic tools (jack, jack-stands, & ratchet set) I would GREATLY appreciate the help in swapping out my down pipes!

Now, please keep in mind that I already have an aftermarket exhaust and DP on the car, so there are no cats or super rusty bolts to deal with. Hence the job shouldn't take more then an hour for anyone who is familiar with the job. it should actually be a piece of cake for someone like that...

I've tried calling around and all the local shots want close to (if not more then) $200 to do the job! I don't have that kind of cash right now, plus can we say RAPE?

So how be it? Can one of you kind people help a brother in need out? I would be more then willing to supply beer/liquor/soda, and buy you food and/or pay some cash for your well spent time, so don't think I'm asking for a freebie!

Please, if you can do this, let me know. I am in San Diego, but am willing to drive almost anywhere within reason to get this done. Not being able to boost in my car is driving me f-ing NUTS!

Also, I have a set of brand new (never mounted), OEM 93+ MR2 turbo front rotors and a 3" SSAC (not the one which is giving me trouble, this one is sitting in my garage right now) DP for trade... if you want/need those in exchange for the work.

Please PM me, reply here, and/or email me at boostard@gmail.com if you can help me out!

Thanks in advance,

-Joe

This would be perfect for me if you mean the weekend of the 15/16th, since I have a wedding to go to THIS weekend (will be gone from this Wed to Sunday).

Please let me know if this is okay with you?

Thanks again!

got pm back

Mark_Dorman · 11-03-2008, 03:59 PM

Are you both gonna make it to the trot? You should try and get it done saturday so you don't miss the meet.

MisterSquared · 11-03-2008, 04:05 PM

Im going to try as hard as I can!

Mark_Dorman · 11-03-2008, 04:13 PM

You can come even with a boost leak...

If you can't meet up with the other guy to do the job I help you fix it the saturday before (the 15th).

MisterSquared · 11-03-2008, 04:30 PM

You know, this might be something worth looking into, perhaps we could go to the meet together?

Mark_Dorman · 11-03-2008, 04:36 PM

I'm definitely up for that. Keep me posted...

MisterSquared · 11-03-2008, 11:04 PM

What time are you planning on going, maybe we can do the work early?

Mark_Dorman · 11-04-2008, 01:21 AM

To the trot? We're meeting at twelve so I was gonna leave here around eleven depending where us southerners were gonna meet up. You wanna do it sunday morning?

MisterSquared · 11-05-2008, 02:53 PM

This is what i was thinking.

Mark_Dorman · 11-05-2008, 03:07 PM

Might get a little pressed for time. What time did you wanna meet? I'd say we should give ourselves 3 hours just incase.
