Nice reliable transportation isphius.

I don't like the "bodykit" thing stuck all over it, it's hideous.
I can't own another car. If I had that car, I'd have a 2ZZ-GE-T swap planned, coilovers, wheels, Cusco roll cage, etc...

I'd have to de-chick-ify the car though... they're just chick cars in my eyes. Same with ZZT231 Celicas and Miatas. Nothing a little work can't change though.

Yes, im looking around for the stock 03+ front bumper and the 00-02 rear bumper. I think the sides are just bolted over the existing sides so ill look. Its a well done body kit, its all in factory holes and mounts. So should be no problem to take off. And its all urethane instead of fiberglass so it doesnt break when it hits shot haha. The thing i like most tho is i can get to my school and back and not burn 2 gallons of gas. lol.

how much does the mr2 weigh? about what 2000 lbs? maybe less?
and how much horses does it pack?

Isphius · 09-13-2006, 02:27 PM

138 hp, 2150 lbs about. Its a quick car. Not amazingly fast, but it goes! Its like 10% faster than my n/a 5 speed was.

Ok well so far the only plans/mods are as follows -

1. Convert back to stock bumpers. take off side skirts. Keep the $400 trd foglights

2. HIDs, If i can find a conversion kit. I love the way they light the road, And i need the bright lights to stop people from backing into to me or something bad like that. But i mostly just like how they look

3. Team moon dual exhaust, I love the sound and its the cheapest catback ive seen so far

4. Intake making use of the driver side vent incoming air and ebay pod filter and adapter

5. Stereo. New headunit, new speakers, And im gona fit 2 8 inch subs in the cubby hole storage behind the seats

6. And in the future wider tires and stiffer shocks. It handles GREAT but rolls a bit too much, and it really feels like its chewing up the outside tires in turns.

how wide are you talking about in here? cuz if youre going for the best setup
i've seen em, they had to use the widebodykit,
this would be the perfect time for you to replace that bodykit that you have already

Isphius · 09-18-2006, 08:19 AM

I want to change it cause i dont like it, Plus i can just sell someone the body kit and have him give me his stock bumpers when hes done. Ill take a core charge haha. I want to put like 17x7s on, with 225s all around or so. Not much bigger (stock is 185 front 205 rear). And yes, 8 inch subs are the ones in bazooka tubes (the amp/sub in one things). They sound good, tight response and all cause there smaller, just less total bass, but i dont want a lot anyway, just more than the 6.5s can make.

Isphius · 09-19-2006, 05:44 AM

Ive also got an appointment to race an n/a 300zx 5 speed. Should be some fun haha.

Supra2NR · 09-20-2006, 12:17 AM
