As most of you the pending nice weather has me modding and cleaning again. My car is used as a DD so it gets bathed in salt and cinder all winter long and really takes a beating. I had the day off yesterday so the car got a wash and a few mods done finally.

Added a new lip spoiler to the rear end. Painted my 3rd brake light, and did some SS mesh work.

On to the show....

Rear shot of the new lip...

Yes, these were taken at a gas station that has been abandoned for about 5 years. The gas prices were still under $2 a gallon when they closed.

lownslow95 · 03-03-2008, 10:07 AM

Car looks good man. Not a big fan of the new MR2's but yours is sick lookin.

PaleDSM · 03-03-2008, 10:19 AM

Yeah, it tends to be a love it or hate it car for most people.

Gorilla Unit 33 · 03-03-2008, 10:19 AM

TalonTsi97 · 03-03-2008, 11:55 AM

Probably no boost in this one's future. They respond well to FI but I want to keep this one as maintenance and worry free as possible. I'll be tinkering with my other built Spyder enough to keep me occupied.

Maybe one day I'll supercharge it. The kits provide nice gains and are very clean.

Yellow car has been in hibernation down south all winter Chip. It will be back out this week though and ready for some spring prep. Then Jim is going to do a roll bar in it so it is track legal.

PaleDSM · 03-03-2008, 12:55 PM

Oh, the camera is a point and shoot Sony. For $200 I love it.

james_ls · 03-03-2008, 01:22 PM

MALCOMS!

That's RIGHT near my house.

Malcoms is my FAVORITE photo shoot spot.

Lemme know next time your there!

JNZTuning · 03-03-2008, 04:18 PM

That makes it look SOOOO much better!

scutzi128 · 03-03-2008, 04:39 PM

How the **** does gas double in price in 5 years?!?!?! What BS!!

maximaserg · 03-03-2008, 05:06 PM

right off 611, always though this place is awesome for some shots.

howielong · 03-03-2008, 05:42 PM

Nice MR2, Digging the black on black.

I know that gas station. I always wanted to do a shoot there.

Uberu · 03-03-2008, 05:53 PM

Yeah looks sick man. That gas station is near my brother's old house its definitely a cool little spot.

OBEEWON · 03-03-2008, 10:02 PM

Widebody and hardtop, game over.

Nice pictures. Paint is right.

PaleDSM · 03-04-2008, 12:48 AM

Hardtops actually went out of production about 4 months ago and they sold out of every color that was in stock here and in Japan. Luckily I picked one up already for the other Spyder.

This one will likely stay a soft top for it's life. The hardtop really is nice though. Big improvement in looks and rigidity.

I figured a bunch of you guys would know that gas station. We have all been passing it for so long. I can't believe they haven't demolished it yet. It would be cool to get a few cars together there for a shoot.

maximaserg · 03-04-2008, 01:55 AM

i was just talkin to my buddy that we should go over there for some shots sometime soon.

martang · 03-04-2008, 02:06 AM

Your car is nice makes me wish I woulda dished out a few extra grand to get one instead of my car

awd4g63 · 03-04-2008, 10:11 PM

Looks clean Erik

CWBETB · 03-04-2008, 10:25 PM
