Title: I can't stop spending on the 2
Post by: Jap GT300 on February 8, 2004, 12:12
Does anyone have this 2 related shopaholic addiction?

This week I have bought:
For Kerrie
Ricoh Front Bumper
TRD S1 spoiler
Kakimoto Exhaust
2x TRD Seats

For Me
2zz engine
2zz gearbox
2zz ECU
TRD shortshifter
Pioneer AVH7500

Just over £5k   s:cry: :cry: s:cry:    and that doesn't include ongoing repairs!  I was going to post in the other thread about how much was spent on my 2' but it scares me.

You mean too big a credit card limit!

Why do i have such an addiction.  I could have bought an S2k with 240bhp, electric roof, quality interior.

Something just compels me to keep modding it.

they say it's only a bargain when you want and need it.

unfortunately I always want it, and the 2 always thinks it needs it.

ah well, your a long time dead.

You can add a Carbon GT Wing and 2 more salvage MR-S to my list.  

Hopefully I can claw some money back from the parts on the MR-S'.

It's got Virtual Dolby 5.1 on it, so I will have to hide a central speaker somewhere.  What sort of speaker should I use?

Umm Carbon, I just couldn't resist.  I know i'll get flamed when I post the completed pictures.  At least I have more of an excuse for using it by dropping in a 2zz.

a 5" mid range single or buy a actuall center speaker by pioneer or alpine

but they are pretty big but would fit under the dash somewhere i would think
