I will probably not be an s-series owner anymore

[jjwalker]

Unfortunately my recent situation with my truck has just about made up my mind to sell it and get another vehicle. Now, dont start calling me a ricer, but I will probably buy this---> http://www.autotrader.com/findacar/results.jtmpl?model=MR2&start_year=1989&end_year=1996&min_price=0&max_price=4800&distance=300&advanced=y&advcd_on=n&make=TOYOTA&address=75087&search_type=used&x=38&y=11


Definately not a rice car. My bro has owned 6 of these bad mofo's and I plan on owning one too. Very fast, very economical, and it halfway looks like a ferrari.

Of course, I will not be leaving my duties here!

[T Man]

so im gonna be the only true 60 degree owner here then
thanks jerk


kidding.. your knowledge has been awesome, and i hope you plan on staying, so i can get some help

[T Man]

(you dont want to part out your old motor do you?)

[jjwalker]

well as much money as i have put into the truck I am going to try and get at least $1500 out of it.

[Minitrucker4lyfe]

Should be a fun lil ride for a ricer lol.

[bvr775]

well at least it's not a honda

[jjwalker]

I do not plan on making it a ricer at all. I actually plan on the outside staying its stock form. Can anyone say sleeper?

I am going to try to either buy a turbo one, or put a turbo on it. They make so much **** for those cars it is unreal. It will never look ricer or divert from stock form. That isnt my style, and you'd know if you saw my truck.

If you want a cheap little car that has speed due to light weight why don't you buy a X-Body and make it a kit-car?

[Maximus]

Well I hate to see you go to a import but to everyman his own.Hope it works out for you.

2 words- "Ecotec Cavalier"

Dust that MR2's *** comin' & goin'. Cheaper parts, more available and better bang for the buck.

Just an idea.

I know how you feel, jjwalker.
Mine has put me through hell and back,
and brought me through hell & back.
But, it has been on the down-swing for
some time now. Many problems no $.
I'd like to say only reason
I still have mine is cause I'm broke

[jjwalker]

The reason for going import is for reliability. You cant argue with that.

[jjwalker]

oh, but of course I will own another first gen some day definately!

[T Man]

i can argue it, but it would be a bad argument

[ZR1-S10]

Sure I can argue that! Don't get belive all the propagander you hear about inport durabiltiy!

[bvr775]

if you said a honda was a good reliable car I would have to slap you, but yodas are indistuctable. I'm actualy looking at getting a taco next year. Well actualy in about a month depending on my case goes with the insurance companey. I should know something on monday, but my main peise of evidince is my truck and a blind person can see that the quater is completly f-ed. Hell i was washing it yesterday an the paint started pelling off. Allstate dosn't stand a snowballs chance in hell of winning this one.

I've had nothing, but bad luck with my new s-10. It's like it a there's a target painted on the side of it and I'm the only one who can't see it.

[ZR1-S10]

What's your milage on all of your' guys trucks? I have 87K and havent had any probulms whatsoever!

[jjwalker]

Yoda's are indestructible, ask ANY yoda driver.

My stepdads 95 Camry gets an oil change less than regularly by far, tranny has only been serviced once and it has 170K EASY. No problems whatsoever.

My truck. 1988 S-15 gypsy. 177k on the truck and 41K on the motor. I have a cracked piston. I changed the oil every 2500 religiously and serviced everything before recommended intervals. Pistons shouldnt just F*ing crack, not even when your being mean to it! Especially at 41K!!!!

I have dumped 14K on this truck in the last 2 years, and I am done. I do love my truck and will always have a sad spot because it is gone, but you can't help something that doesnt want to be helped.

My bro has owned 6 MR2's which he drove the **** out of and he not once, never, not even a check engine light, ever had a problem. NEVER.

Get the turbo. The possibilities are endless w/ that car. I know that the 4M-GTE can with stand 870 HP. They ust the block in jgtc races (in the supras). They take out the inline 6 and dump in the 4cyl. Do a search on the TOP SECRET SUPRA
