Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Damn, playboy. Dat lyfe!

 

7?!

We've had 5 in Santa Rosa in 2 weeks that I've driven through or driven past smoldering grass after the fire was put out.

Wish I was more capable. I would really be interested in firefighting and wildland firefighting.

 

what are you selling? been looking for a nav console for the MRS.

 

Kalieaire, keep looking buster...

My navpod is staying in the box its been sitting in for 5 or so years.

I do have a push button start system that I helped develop many moons ago. I have a new kit still and also a TRD start button to go along with it.

Just sold my ARC Ti cooling plate and RexyPow console. I have a few sets of side skirts and two front lips. I am still looking to find some mud flaps.

0h, and the PPE Header/race cat downpipes combo will be off and for sale soon as well. I don't need all that noise anymore and the TTE can does a fine job of giving it a little burble.

www.mr2spyder.net much?

What year ya got

 

Nothing yet. I just started working again after two years, I'll probably be ready to buy by spring. I still have to lift the Taco, get a flippac, and do some mods to fit 35s.

But afterwards, it'll be for a canyon runner, planning to do the mwr 2zz swap after the first engine dies (if ever). I do 700 mile single day road trips, the MRS seems like a good fit.

 

I ripped out to Turtle Rock for Egg Rolls on Saturday to see if I saw any fire or smoke... all I saw was beers, mixed drinks, and hella egg rolls. It was amazing



Sucks though because there have been hella fires on the way home from work every day that cause traffic

 

So, you have a Spyder now? 0r are planning on getting one as they are exceptionally adept at 700 mile jaunts up and down the coast?

The 2ZZ is a great engine no doubt, but, I must say my little trusty 1ZZ has done well with the abuse I have put it through. Many CA36 trips done at a permagrin clip!

If you are a local Spyder owner, we may have met before at some local event. However, I will admit to being quite a bit less interested in the parking lot, tire kicking bs sessions.

I used to own a local repair shop and was getting a good amount of MR2 business but I just couldn't afford it in the end. I still have all my tools and still have a few locals who insist I do the wrenching on their cars.

 

I have a taco and an xB.

I'm really not into the import scene because it gets old fast w/ jackasses. If it's a few friends, that's fine because we have stuff to talk about, but otherwise I'd rather run through the full length of 25, 35, or 1.

When I do get the MRS, the plans are going to be really just handling/usability upgrades like ohlins, nav console, hard top, seats, wheels + tires, I'd probably consider putting in 14s if I could fit them over the brakes so I can get some thicker tires when I encounter less adequate pavement (ie dirt roads).

I really want to get my hands on a nav console though, i'd like to make a mold and make copies.

 

Here's a daily driver for anyone looking.. I got a giggle when I saw one cruising around Truckee on Saturday.

Totally would rock that if it wasn't so far.

 

Just as good brotha. Gotta
love when ur kid is all smiles. I know I do.

I get u adam. Lol. I totally do!

 

Heck I will throw it here too.. Anyone up for prairie city today? Going to get the son out of the house... 4 weeks of summer left..

 

had someone offer me $11,000 this morning in a weird phone call. hmm

 

Do it!!! Haha

What would you replace it with? I'd say up it to 11.5k.

 

i dont think 11 is enough. maybe if it were stock.

i know mods dont translate over but 11 would hurt.

What i want

 

That's just a bit of a change. I understand not doing 11. That's why I'm paring mine out, people want to pay 9 for mine when I can sell 6k in parts separately from the sale of the truck.

 

Came from a truck, i miss it and really love the Tundra, but only with the floor console.

 

Get a Tacoma

 

id like to be able to stretch myself out. Tacomas are same interior size at t4r. Which i made to be OK. But would be nice to be able to have room.
