^HAHAHA...maybe...j/k. It would be cool, just to toy around in it.

Davis · 09-23-2009, 12:29 AM

Since we're talking about cars we'd like to own, here's mine.

I love the fact you have to put the car together.

Other than that, I wish they had a midship version!

Cjung · 09-23-2009, 12:42 AM

Thats pretty much midship since its behind the front wheels...

something i would like to own...

xltinlx · 09-23-2009, 12:46 AM

yeah! this is all me

Davis · 09-23-2009, 12:47 AM

Naw screw that, I'm not into the whole "front" midship nonsense, if it ain't behind you it's not mid-engined!

Tin be hittin dem switchEZ!!

Cjung · 09-23-2009, 01:13 AM

lmao

o yea i finished installing my bushings i got from mixxer

and it felt like the softest settin on my coilovers, when it actually was on my stiffest.

also for those who wants to do bushing, you do not need a press, but its recommended. You can torch it and slide the new bushings in.

I used a press so dont ask me what to do w/ a torch or how its done. haha

mr.asian.m2 · 09-23-2009, 01:18 AM

i want to do my bushing so much. but, i'm getting too lazy. should i trust someone to do it for me? i never had other ppl working on my car unless i'm there.

Cjung · 09-23-2009, 01:24 AM

common frankie, if i did it, you should b able to do it too

and im not that great when it comes to cars (always end up breaking something)

Davis · 09-23-2009, 01:43 AM

I know you can do it Frankie!

I have the urge to sell Mindy again. HMPH.

Cjung · 09-23-2009, 02:11 AM

im never gonna sell my car

spent too much time w/ it, and no1 would buy it anwayz because of the rear end damage

but at least i would still be treating her right

honda_bar · 09-23-2009, 02:12 AM

Alex, I wanna stereotype you so bad right now....

Ji, I personally love the 356s as well. They are actually pretty affordable. 11k for a decent shape one... I was looking at them earlier this year.

What I do love is how people have such different taste. There's only one person that I know that would agree with 90% of stuff I like...

mr.asian.m2 · 09-23-2009, 02:39 AM

i know i can. i'm just being lazy.

davis...stop selling your car. you're going to regret it so bad if you do. nite guys

o6spdracer · 09-23-2009, 02:44 AM

Colin, that would be me!

The 356's are pretty affordable, but hard to find with matching numbers and no rust. Most of them have vw motors. I want everything original, low miles, and clean! Wishful thinking...There are a lot of cars I would want to own.

randomxzero · 09-23-2009, 03:22 AM

Colin bring it lol
Christian sick truck wouldnt mind having one of those

haha mixxer i wouldnt care about the

looks, just cruising in that would be sick!!.. plus i would have my 1st and 2nd gen at home lol..
Hello my name is Alex and im.... im... im a Midship Addict

Davis · 09-23-2009, 12:03 PM

I won't regret it as long as I get my Spyder.

Mid-engine addiction! Haha I just got an idea from Alex. We should make a short film about how hard it is to be addicted to MRs.

It is hard sometimes you know, alot of times people think my car is front engine or front wheel drive.

How I'm I supposed to let any of that go???

haha okay I'm bored.

I was unaware. There was one version (which I'm 2 lazy to spend the 5 seconds to look up) that you can find, but it will come at a premium since it had the most HP.

Davis · 09-23-2009, 02:49 PM

Hey Jairo! 1991 Toyota Mr2 non turbo

o6spdracer · 09-23-2009, 03:01 PM

Colin, there was the 1964 356 SC Cabriolet, iirc.
