Hey all,

I signed up for this forum quite a while ago just for a video of the Nurburgring (Man, I love that track!) I think it was a BMW M3 flying around it in startling fashion. Anyways, I forgot I had signed up here until I recently got the 1st newsletter. So I decided to make my presence known.

Well, not much to say...I turn 22 in 3 days, I love cars, girls, videogames and alcohol. Not all at the same time, maybe the girls and alcohol go together...but sometimes that turns out badly.

Haha, also I pretend to be good at photography so that takes up a little bit of my free time. Anyways, onto my cars...the real point of the post!

I'll start with my regular DD.

1988 Toyota Corolla ~ 1.6 liters, 5 speed, power steering. That's really about it. I picked it up from my friend when he got a new car for 150 bucks! It came with an alpine CD player that was worth that much. It really can't get out of it's own way but when I'm rippin 32 mpg in the city, I could care less!

Oh, and it just turned 242,000 miles, I'm aiming for 300,000 miles! I think I could make it!

Next, my special DD.

1998 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP - 3.8 liter Supercharged, Automatic. 56,000 miles on it. Wow, where to begin? This is the car that started it all, she's come so far it's almost hard to believe...every single engine mod performed was installed by myself. However, those are going to wait..because I have a few appearance mods.

Appearance ~
ASCD Ram Air Hood
Side Moldings removed
GTP badges removed
06 Mustang GT wheels with Pirelli PZero Nero's
15% tint
Black Clear corners
3 gauge pod with Boost, Oil Pressure, Tranny temp

Engine Mods:
Thrasher Cold Air Intake
Ported Throttle Body (Stage 1 from ZZPerformance)
Ported Supercharger (Triple Edge Performance)
3.0 Supercharger pulley (started with a 3.8)
LS6 valve springs
INTENSE oil restricted pushrods
42lb injectors
The Other Guys Headers
206/216 115 LSA cam (VS Cam from ZZPerformance)
SLP Loudmouth
Custom Tune

I *THINK* that is it...

Need to do:
Beef up the tranny as it is starting to slip a little bit.
Get an intercooler and get into the 12's!

As it sits this is a low 13 second car, which is plenty good enough for a daily driver for me!

Now, my baby:

1988 Mazda RX-7 10th Anniversary Edition (1 of 1500 made in 1988)

1998 LS1 (5.7 liter, 346 cubes) with a T-56 6 speed, it was a pullout from a 98 Camaro

Wow, it's almost hard to believe this guy is nearly done. Most of the work was done by a friend of mine who has one himself, and I watched and learned. I mean, I did get my hands dirty and help but I learned a TON! Would I have been able to pull this swap off without him? Probably, but would it have been as nice? No! Haha. I bought this car in February 2006 for 2200 dollars with the engine pulled out of it. I sold all the rotary parts and made 2300 dollars! So really, I got paid to get this car.

But one thing I learned is that this project car thing will nickel and dime you to death! Anyways, enough of my jibba jabba...here's the mod list.
