that is my pet hate at the moment - people using the term 'chav' for any car they don't like the look of.

Looks like you've shown that car a lot of love mate, like a true enthusiast shoukd, it looks stunning - very stealth indeed buddy :twisted:

thanks guys!

As i said in a previous post though it wouldn't have been possible without gtschris who imported her for me!! Top guy!

This weather? pah living in Scotland mate if it ain't raining we've got shorts on lol

(actually my mate is a window tinter and let us do the work in his air conditioned unit :oops: :oops: :oops:

When it comes to Daves opinion i din't know anyone who takes any notice of the fool tbh and looking at his "pink" car he's not really in a position slag off anyones car!

btw it also made good power at an mr2oc rr day last week with only a downpipe,exhaust and filter on.

The boost peaked at a little over 14psi :D :D :D :D

Nice,though you can polish up your exhaust for a lot cheaper using auto glym show shine. Ive used it a few times and it lasts a few months but for £200 a shot yours will probably last a while longer

Oh dear lol. :roll: Maybe you should be more bothered about what you think about it rather than trying to impess people in a 'MR2' :lol:

I dont remember saying it looked chav or cheap. Although I seen it on GTSChris website and it certainly wasnt the most expensive on there.

I think i said it looked crap, which it did with the picture I seen. I wouldnt describe the car as it is now as crap - far from it. :) But many things have been changed on it.

And alas as much or little as I know about MR2's during my time working on them I am now hopefull to get rid of it asap - even if I have to break it. So my MR2 time is well and truly over. Good luck to anyone who has one I say but kinda been there done that for me. 8)

dave you are a liarYou certainly did say that and then tried to retract it!

End of the day i bought the car for me and i am happy with it but i wanted people to remember what you said about it both here and mr2oc.

Looking at your car though i'm slightly confused how you can rip into anyones car when yours looks such a mess!

And so what if it wasn't the most expensive car chris has ever sold? What on earth has that got to do with anything?

jog on now dave and sell your car asap so there is one less idiot on the mr2 forums!

I don't know either of you but feel that I should post this anyway.

Dave, you definately posted pics of the car and called it "chav and cheap". If memory serves, you got knocked down rather quickly for it

Unfortunately I have searched and the thread has been culled so I cannot prove the fact.
I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

Very nice Mikee :D :D

Good job you did it indoors mate, otherwise it would havee taken ages to get that effect, top job matey :thumleft:

Have to agree with Jaspa, the thread has gone, and Dave was slating the car. It doesn't matter as Mikee is happy with it and thats all that matters :D :D
