*Official holiday season pick-up thread!* Options

[96bluevert]

It may be a little early, but since it is the holiday season, post up what you want to buy/will buy/ or have bought for yourself!

My Xbox is acting up, so I bought this:



Will probably get a little something for the Celica, but nothing very expensive now.

[95CelicaST]

I got this:

[SwissFerdi]

SICK.

Can I use that photo too? Since I am picking one up myself between now and end of the year? I guess I will be seeing you on MR2OC.com as well :-D

Very beautiful car. So, it's kinda hard to tell in this pic because I can't see the rear vents that well, this is the N/A model, correct?

I've got something good to add... I don't quite have it yet, but it's looking like I'll have it ahead of schedule...

Edit: Nice pickup, 95!

[95CelicaST]

Yeah, its a 91 N/A. only 100K miles. Presently has a bad exhaust manifold gasket, so it sounds like it has ITB's. No power options. It's like a go-kart.


When I have the chance to take good photos I'll start a new thread.

Hell yeah! I look forward to that. So it handles well huh? I can't wait to get mine. They look so fun. I mean my Celica is my priority, but still... come on.. This car is a heavy hitter according to Jspecs off the JDM ones, as opposed to the MKIV supra everyone creams themselves over here in the USA.

I know what that is!

[Hanyo]

i want to get a xbox 360 with forza 3.

and



but i cant seem to find a pick at nada price. they are all over priced in my area.

[spolski07]

I got this:


cell phone shot

already sell the celica?

[96bluevert]

Damn Matt, you change cars like every year lol

Liking the MR2 though!

[95CelicaST]

It was all done with good reason. If you ever came down to Puyallup to Eric's new place you can hear the full story.


.....but you never leave the north end.

[spolski07]

the mr2 looks great! now lets see a monster 3s build! 2.2 stroker or bust!

[tomazws]

I suggest you reconsider your plan if you're gonna take a 250 onto the freeway.

[NgoFcukinWay]

I'm hoping to pick up an insurance check to fix this:

[95CelicaST]

pick up FTMFL

[SwissFerdi]

Alex, is your car just accident fodder or do you suck at choosing a good place to park? Wasn't your bumper also hit a few weeks ago?

[NgoFcukinWay]

Alex, is your car just accident fodder or do you suck at choosing a good place to park? Wasn't your bumper also hit a few weeks ago?

Probably an accident fodder. I should park it at home and not take it anywhere and yes, i did get a dent in my rear bumper but I ended up popping that out.

[NgoFcukinWay]

Picking up a check from Geico insurance tomorrow to fix my fender.

[SwissFerdi]

^ Nice dude. And the bumper?

[NgoFcukinWay]

the rear bumper's no big deal. I heated it up and popped it out. there's still two small dents along the crease of the actual bumper, but it's no big deal. just needs a good buffing to come out.

[NgoFcukinWay]

2x 255/40-19 Pilot Sport A/S Plus. Picked them up not because I want to. -_-

[Tigawoods]

picking up some christmas prostitutes

[spolski07]

picking up some christmas prostitutes

you to?!?

[SwissFerdi]

Z0MG, you guys too? BTW Scott, I'd like to personally extend thanks to you for that ever-so-enlightening Facebook IM.

Back on topic, SwissFerdi's scheduled Xmas pickup: Springs and struts. THIS WILL NOT FAIL.

[spolski07]

those rims but flat black

[spolski07]

these will be on my mini in 2 weeks

[SwissFerdi]

Look more grey than flat black...but I like.

[95CelicaST]

They just look REALLY dirty.

Your mini needs some 15" Panasports. Anything else just doesn't do any justice.

[spolski07]

these were taken in the rain, thats why they look off, ill take better pics once they get installed

[SwissFerdi]

I'm curious how they look once they'll be cleaned/installed. Good stuff.

[epocsirhc]

For the celica-starting with a 2 post spoiler and GT-4 riser blocks, maybe GT-4 frontend if not a lip, then JDM tails and possibly some form of a drop! For me- the new cod if I have any left from the celica spending and classes for nexr semester! I so want a MR2 but my parents want me to get a truck instead.

[spolski07]

dirty and iPhone pic but here are my rims on!

[TRD_Ian]

looking good!, i like those wheels bud.. me so far for the car i picked up some 7thgen seats...im gonna mod the rails and put them in around christmas...my grandmother is redoing the covers for them making them look more like a racing seat with red leatheret in the bolsters and head rest and TRD symbols in the head rest...cant wait to see them done and open them at christmas.. also my winter beater "200sx" is getting a paint job and some snow tires

[supershannon77]

[SwissFerdi]

Niiiiice. So jealous.

[azian_advanced]

i might have to get another projector headlamp this x-mas. my HID hasn't been working for a week and today i noticed smoke swirling and building up inside the headlamp so I pulled the bulb out and noticed that the power wire had shorted itself somehow with the ground wire from inside the bulb (****ty HIDs) and burned the plastic. now my headlamp is smoked.

[bccentaur3]

But arent you getting your st205 in a month or so?

[GriffGirl]

I got one of these from my g/f for a combo birthday/hanukkah present at 5am at Best Buy yesterday

[mmmchocolate]

i saw that! i was gonna go pick one up too! with that 20" Dell monitor. but i forgot to get up...pity.

[Random_Stranger]

BAM! My Toyota Jacket No.3, and less bulky than the others, which means this is the one I am going to be wearing the most for casual nights out.




I want to add Toyota MR2 To the list, but this guy on MR2OC is lagging. I swear, I never met such unmotivated sellers on a site in all my life. I might buy this one AE86 off this guy that probably needs work, but for $600, even if it is just a Shell, I wouldn't mind. I am still getting an MR2 Turbo no matter what though.

ya the corolla is already 22 years old. Older than me. Nice jacket, its pretty cool, i would probably take the toyota writing of the sleeves, but otherwise very nice

[SwissFerdi]

Nice jacket man...I might get one of Griffy's hoodies for Christmas, I need some Toyota/Celica swag.

No problem. And that was last June, he's a little late on the gift. I should have asked for interest.

[razor7]

Well, not in time for christmas... but hopefully soon!

[bccentaur3]

Lucky you get to ride year round. I parked mine a month ago. wished I could get new fairings and slip-on for christmas. I just want my alltrac road worthy.

Well,
It's been raining out here, but you're right, California is pretty close to a year round riding season. Biggest issue is trying to sell a bike. My '97 gsxr 750 that's pretty much race ready (though not taken to the track.... yet) and still won't get any hits even when it sits $1000 under what it should be selling for.

Whatchya ride?

[808celica]

Got MW2 and the Xbox 360 wireless steering wheel for Forza. That things is soo hard the first time especially when you dont have a good table for a seating position.

[6GenCelicaST]

Dang, new helmet AND a mag! lmao..... nice purchase

[6GenCelicaST]

Dang, new helmet AND a mag! lmao..... nice purchase

haha yeah I didn't even notice that. But its a subscription so it's always new each month .

[Consynx]

I bought most of this stuff recently.
on Black Friday: Samsung Blu-Ray Home Theater, Samsung 46" TV, TomTom Go 730, 7 games, some movies and small stuff.
I've also purchased some more Pens gear as well as tickets to 3 recent games (one was sat, one is tomorrow)
I was gonna buy more, but work just gave me an iPhone and laptop...so i'm holding off.

I WANT to buy an Evo X (or is250), but i'm waiting and saving some first.

*edit* Clemente jersey is my step-dad's...he has no room for it.

06 zx6rr basically race ready now. Plan on going to the tracks a couple of times this summer.

[SwissFerdi]

Just bought Griffy's hoodie for myself.

Picked up this Victorinox Swiss army knife for my brother, decently expensive but well worth it:



Hard to see, but it's engraved with this name (Dutch name, that is):


I especially love the blade:


And picked these up for my baby :

[Serhey]

im hoping to get this:

[Random_Stranger]

Ok, like seriously, I couldn't wait to post a pic. I wanted to wash her tomorrow since I came into town after dark, but here she is (and yes, what you see is condensation and the need for a paint job or at least some buffering or whatever on the hood and such. But still. for $3k on the west coast, you can't beat this deal on this 92' MR2 Turbo). She needs a paint job (was thinking white), new driver fender, the ding on the door popped out, maybe could use some rims and tires... Driver seat could use upholster, but engine bay is pretty clean and interior pretty clean. I am really happy with her... Anyways, I made a big long story, LOL Oh and excuse my garage, it is very messy. I have been to lazy, unmotivated, etc... Lots of stuff going on...

I can only picture you driving with superior skill skidding around an open lot and tossing these with killer precision out your window! That's bad ass dude! I didn't know they made such things for the open public to purchase! And if they don't, then.... Your secret is safe with me. ;-)

Can you see well in those (I have always wondered, I see people with them, but rarely, and it seems like they have them on for just a week and then they remove them, maybe tickets?)? Well, sounds like you got some nice stuff man!

[njccmd2002]

a new DD

Is it still the "Holiday Season"?

I traded my Voxx Monza wheels for a set of SSR Integral A2's.

[Random_Stranger]

Looks good but what size are they? They look the same as stock sort of. Please tell me they are at least x 7s I hate the fact stock wheels are not x7's at least...

[SwissFerdi]

Much cleaner. They're similar to 7GC GT-S wheels...nice pick up.

[95CelicaST]

16x7 front, 16x8 rear
