That is a good resume. Mine's a bit lacking in the fun car world these days but I am enjoying TruckLife (just need to get a lift/level done on the front of this thing eventually, aside from that I'm fairly pleased). Also tempted to do the Ford Performance tune upgrade just to make it a bit more speedy (although the factory ecoboost motor isn't awful) but not convinced I want to run premium gas all the time.

YESSS. I love what a transformation the 13 has been through. I know that car can frustrate the hell out of you at times... but it totally fucking rules. And I love what the VW has become too!!

You are the baddest garage builder I know, and I am forever impressed with your skills and abilities.

Dude this truck is killer!! Every time I see 'em on the road I think how cool they look. I always liked Rangers. This truck fits you well.

TRUUUUUUUUUUUCCKKKKK

Trucks, man... trucks.

I’m just stoked this place still exists and that several names I recognize are still present and doing their thing. Hope everyone is doing well enough. This site was indescribably influential to me and my career path.

Hell yessss. I love to hear that! That totally rules, man!!

Welcome back!

I really need to create a thread on my build, I don't think I ever made one. I am really digging how my car looks now.

Dang that is lookin' good!

BUILD. THREAD. BUILD. THREAD!!

Been a Gripmechanik these past few years with a tiny bit of drifting here and there in the S13.. but more recently (June 2023) added another car to the fleet for dedicated track duty.

I've been working on it here and there sporadically the past year but it is closer than it's been in a while. Been doing a lot maintenance and rebuilding of components here and there. Suspension is completely done as with lightened flywheel/clutch and full header back exhaust.
Most recent was the driveline and complete shifter rebuild with a TMS short shifter.
I just need to install my rollbar, Sparco seats, and harnesses and it should be good to go.

Final parts to install are M3 GTS rear spoiler, front splitter, hood and fender vents.

The track wheels are 18x10.5 square with sticky bois.

Oh that looks like fun.

I approve of this.
(Duh).
