lol wherever kielan decides the meet is gonna be haha. i kind of got the whole meet planning thing started a while back but then my car took longer and longer to get done, it was 100.0000% done mechanically (minus the wheels, that's a whole other story) until i ripped part of my frame out on monday . thankfully kielan has been doing WORK organizing this shit, without him it would never be planned out like it is now.

i love it! need MOAR pics

[kramerbuccs24]

FINALLY, a good pic of my car with the BBSs on it. I still need to spin the coils down a LOT but I only have 3 wheels on and the car is currently aligned so I don't want to mess with it/get another alignment until I have all 4 BBSs on.



Positive OR negative opinions are very much welcome, but will likely be kindly disregarded because I LOVE how it looks

One more with me outside the driver's door (I'm 6'5"):



Lastly, here are before/after pictures and a before video of my "front motor mount debacle:"

Your car makes me want an MR2 again.

[kramerbuccs24]

Do it! You won't regret it, trust me. The driving dynamics and "feel" of this car are like none other that I've driven, including some pretty high end/performance cars (C6 Z06, ISF, 300C SRT8, Nismo 350Z, etc.). There's just nothing like it, they don't make cars like the AW11 anymore!!!!

How hard is engine maintenance and work on these cars?

How hard is engine maintenance and work on these cars?

Not toooo bad, once you take the intercooler off (2 hose clamps, obviously), it's pretty much like working on a tight front engine/FWD setup. Getting to any of the pulleys requires the dropping of the motor, though.

By the way, I put the car in storage until April or May this afternoon, here are two pics that my friend snapped last week, never did get a proper photoshoot of the eeeeeeeMR2 this year, 2011 will bring more excitement:





Over the winter I am going to put 1" wider barrels on the front two wheels for moar stretch and moar low

After dialing in my coils, little to nothing will be done to the car until I can make her look like this (K20 swap):

So sick man, awesome progress. Can't wait to see future updates.

[kramerbuccs24]

Thanks man. It's only been 70 days since I put it away for the winter and it feels like a lifetime . Still got about 150 days to got

Here is a photoshop my friend did of how the car will look lowered a little in the rear and an inch or two in the front:
