1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

So how many MR2's do you own now? Do they outnumber tacos yet?

 

Really? Not many people liked the 3rd gen. I'm a sucker for the 2nd gen

 

Mostly being a convertible is why. Fun to take on a winding road in good weather.

 

Just the 2. The red one is paying work.

I’m in talks with a guy for a 98 import in pieces and a 92 turbo chassis that’s rotted. Plan is to make 1 good car from that.

 

And you'll never finish the race truck

 

race truck HOPEFULLY will have an engine soon. the final bits for that finally have arrived. transmission shortly after

 

Better have him tell that mechanic to go OEM on the ball joints. Seems like most shops that don't know just don't know.

 

Dibs on the white one.

 

my white mr2? thats the rocket... with the rocket comes great speeding tickets.. LOL i love that car...

 

Never driven one but looks fun for sure. I ain't skeeered of no speedy ticket. I've gotten a whole like two of 'em in my life.

 

the SW20 is a car you have to respect and know its limits.. because once you pass it. it will try to kill you. so much grip. but once its broken, it take some skill to catch it again. the Key is, if you ever start spinning, DONT let off throttle. ease off.. but dont let that weight transfer or youre going to be spinning the other way next

 

@shifty` can you direct me to your beefy tailgate clips post? I tried to find it, and I thought you had made a dedicated thread for it, but I could not locate.

 

This it?

I am going to start cracking at the camper again. I need to study the brakes on it and see what kind of kit I need to just replace the whole fuckin thing depending on cost.

It's got to go according to pops and I have no where to put it

I'd like to sell it here first if any of yall are interested. It's solid. And only going to get better.

 

I thought you berely just bought it

 

Yeah and I never used it. That crazy chicka I was with wanted to boondock in oregon and have me be a transient maintenance worker on that side of the country

 

Seemed like a solid plan

 

Yeah.... anyways how in the fuck am I supposed to get a job in oregon with a ky drivers license and no home address? This is not 1974

Poor thought experiment

 

I think I found @Tundra2 's future ex wife

 

"dated" a girl in college with one like that, but it was yellow. Thing was a shit box imo, but could have had more to do with her driving.

 

Why? Not much power to it? Too much roll taking corners?

 

Noah should do the Mel Gibson thing and go full on Lethal weapon. I assume you already have the firearms part, and the cat could sub for the dog. Start hunting for a South African lady friend and grow out a sweet mullet.

 

Tiny inside obviously. I can remember hearing the engine rev dangerously high by we weren't really moving at any kind of a decent clip. Hers used oil as well

 

No ex-wives in my future homie. I'm not from the trailer hood of cleaton ky.

The cat is dead. Sorry. He had feline ass aids and died. Also, I've tried the darker berry. The juice was the same IMHO. I went back, and then I tried the darker berry again sometime later. Another experience. No change in opinion. Again, I went back.

 

Buddy of mine worked at a toyota dealership right out of highschool, took my gf up there to look at their used cars, but while we were there & they had my info, i test drove a mr-s. & i test drove it hard. Drove it like i rode my kawasaki, weaving traffic, passing on the shoulder... it was like riding with wilhelm. My buddy knew i wasnt gonna buy it, but it was the perfect 'slow-car-fast'. It still rustles my jimmies when i think about it.

 

Yeah, I did that. Sounds like the shop he's going to is experienced on Toyotas and ordered the parts directly from the dealership.

 

its in much better shape than the one i've been haggling over near my grandmas. Got specs on it?

 

PO Box.

 

Anyone else notice how terrible Toyota's new parts website is? parts.toyota.com used to be legit, not it's borderline unusable.

 

24 foot Jayco. Model number 2450. 1988. I think it weighed about 4,400lbs new, but there's been stuff removed since original like the dinette. So I'm gonna ball park around 4,200 lbs. Forest green interior walls. Black interior cabinets. Brass door/drawer handles. Roof is re-done. Ac unit is cleaned. If I had 30 amp service here on the side of the house that sum bitch would blow ice cold.

The gas line has been pressure tested. I've swapped from the 20lb cylinders to whatever the tall ones are. I think 40 lb'ers. The gas water heater works. The gas stove works. The dual unit refrigerator has been removed before me, and replaced with a 110v dorm fridge.

Currently, the status of the trailer brakes being operational is unknown.

I'll get more pictures of it in the coming days Mr. C!
