He ran out of paint and broke my door handle. So I had to get another handle (thanks mark) and give it 2 him. That took 2 months for me to do. If the color is quite noticibly off, then I will just let it cook in the back yard for a while...

randomxzero · 10-01-2009, 02:30 PM

if you want to cook it Colin you could put it on the grill

as in mr2.ie? i think that is kind of far for us...isn't that over sea?

Davis · 10-01-2009, 10:42 PM

IE is the Inland Empire Franky, you've been in Texas for too long.

Oh okay Mix. Sweet, I just want something like yours and I'll be happy.

EDIT:

So I can't wait for the Where the Wild Things Are to come out! The song from the commercial got stuck in my head! I love it when they go Ooh ooh ooh ooh.

You Tube

First music video post from Davis on the 8th page? How is that possible!

Actually, the comercial had a better tune to it than the real version, boo!

You Tube

colin.. when you got your mr2 painted. did you also get your wing painted too?

thats exactly what i need to do frankie. move the glass closer to the door frame.. but i couldnt find a way to do it. the 2 or 4 screws u are talking about, i know there are a few at the bottom but they do not move. hmm??

hahaha sorry Mix!

Welcome to club Silica! For those parts, try to find someone parting out their car on the for sale section of the forum or if you need it asap, email Josh Boam at Chico Race Works (the_mister3@yahoo.com). He will get you squared away. Just tell him you are part of the MR2 forums so you can get the club discount. There are a few going to JCCS from the forum.

o6spdracer · 10-01-2009, 11:24 PM

Hey Tin! If you need to borrow the bgb just let me know.

Cjung · 10-02-2009, 10:28 AM

hey colin, i found a worse condition twin of yours

1993 Toyota MR2

masagsxr · 10-02-2009, 10:48 AM

Ok... hhhmmm so who wants it?

I still have my set of front 1991 MR2 Turbo calipers. It will go with brake booster and master cylinder attached to it...

Someone make me an offer before it goes to craigslist heheheee....

I also remember a while back someone put an LS400 calipers on their MR2. I did that upgrade on my SC400. If you are looking for SC400 calipers, I have that too. Much bigger caliper than the MR2-Turbo and definitely bigger rotors. Of course it depends how the calipers will mount on your stock wheel hub. I believe minimum wheel size would also have to be 16"+ to clear the calipers.

o6spdracer · 10-02-2009, 12:56 PM

Hey Mix...I didn't even think about doing that. Maybe put the SC brakes on my 2?

masagsxr · 10-02-2009, 12:58 PM

Yeah maybe.. We'll have to test fit it to see if it'll work.. Trying to find a post of someone who has the ls400 calipers on their mr2. I think Oteck post a picture somewhere in the part 1 socal chat thread

masagsxr · 10-02-2009, 01:28 PM

LS400 calipers on MR2 posted by Oteck on Richard's thread... Not sure what type of mod he has to do if the mounting holes do not line up. if it s a direct bolton, then the SC400 calipers I have will fit.

My 93+turbo big brake upgrade project pics and info

o6spdracer · 10-02-2009, 01:38 PM

Yeah I guess the only way to find out is a test fit. I want to do the bbk for the GS! The 2 has enough stopping power already! Too many toys!!!

honda_bar · 10-02-2009, 01:48 PM

^ I was going to say that Ji. I forgot that I work till 8:30 today

I need to look at my schedule for next week, since it's going to be changing.

My friend and I spent all night looking at cars. She's interested in a 02 celica (SA-LEAK-AH) 02 accords and corollas.

I want a tempura roll right now

masagsxr · 10-02-2009, 01:49 PM

That Supra TT calipers on CL is waiting for a buyer
