saw reign makers thread over on SM..

couldn't help but check it out.. I have a few friends up in the 850 area and such even though I live down here in saint petersburg. anyhow, its nice to see a forum that hasnt been taken over by a bunch of non-sense.

EDIT: the car im currently building is an '87 MK3 JZA70 that I'm trying to convert as much as possible to twin turbo R specification without going RHD obviously. I've taken quite a liking to it as time has gone on, car had 275k on the dash when I got it and the motor was rod-knocked with a blown HG.. I've just been slowly building it and I plan on using it in road racing once I get around to the proper suspension setup that I'm shooting for.

Cool man, welcome to the site. What kinda Supra you got?

ah how i miss st pete/tampa/bradenton area. one day i will return. post pics up man. i love me some poopras.

sry yeah I left the car info out.. and clifford, reign mentioned you on SM hope to see ya around. perhaps down here someday, though im sure you love it up there man.

this area seems so dull sometimes, but perhaps thats everywhere haha.

nice...welcome

if you think that place is dull, youll want to start aiming firearms at your face when you get here lol. ill be home sometime in april when i get back from the desert. hopefully in some kind of new g ride.

I will be going down to St. Pete in a couple weeks for about a week.

oh yeah?.. I thought about AF for a while because the last 2 generations have served in the core and the army as mechanic, and ranger/SF so i figured it was my duty. but anymore im thinking that perhaps a career in defense is more to my liking..

you gotta do what you gotta due man. im just a mechanic, i volunteered to go over there to escort the jihad around.

and where are the pics come on now lol.

haha the car is stock-ish, its nothing you wanna see.. but okay.
