^These guys started it all back in the early 2000s.

Since i made this thread, i'll start.

Original Name: Rice(er), joined when i was 18 senior year in highschool looking to get a first car. I'm 22 now. Bought a 1.8L 5-speed corolla. Sold it and bought old skool toyota rwd sports cars. Went to college for a few years, never graduated, the college life is hard and overwhelming. Planning on returning to school soon, perhaps in the fall. Working 2 part time jobs to save up at the moment. Hardcore Toyota Fan! Will always own a toyota and nothing else!

-polygon? (old skool turboed chrysler lebanon?)

They turbo-charged Lebanon!!!!! :icon16:

J/K man.

I still have the LeBaron. I have two actually. One is a parts car which will be donating sheet metal to the GTC shortly at the body shop. So I need to get them both stripped ASAP.

I also have a Dodge Stealth R/T TT which was the DD for a while but I got a new job that gave me a 2008 Ford Escape to drive around. So I now have two project cars. :)

I'm still here. Although the Civ didn't have a B16, but rather a swapped D15 with cams/int/head/exh/pulley. Quite a bit and handled well.

The GS-T was a great car, and I miss driving it. But unfortunately, I wanted bigger and better things which is what I am looking for still up to this moment.

As for some other members that I think are missing from the list:

drftk1d (didn't know what he had up until I last saw him on the forums)
mister sinister (vehicle unknown)
street_racer_00 (had a 00+ Maxima)
Neutrino (AF mod, good friend of Poly. Moved back to his home country)

I'll think of a few more later that I would like to see come back here and post later on.

Yeah, I don't know why Andrei gave up on us. I still talk to him regularly though. He currently owns a Ford Focus Diesel.

I knew there was something screwy about him...a Ford guy huh?

Well, a little joke a freind told me once:

"There's one thing Ford did that was smart...they circled the problem."

I dunno, tell that to the Ford Fusion GT. TT V6, I think the estimate is high 300s for HP. Concept drawings look great, so hopefully they follow through.

^GTFO of this thread n00blet! This thread is for people who have been here since february or earlier......oooooohhhh dang you just missed the cutoff. Haha jk

^ROFL

He said he was going to get an SRT-4 in Germany but he stuck with his Focus. At least Ford was polite enough to do at least that.

As for the TT Fuzion. Ford is hemorrhaging money out of their ass. They can't afford to build anything cool. Besides, they'd just give it to Ford Europe and tell the American public to fuck a duck.

ugh, Ford Europe. It makes me sad

Ford Focus ST :( And I shall post in here as much as a please, good sir.

But I actually think the point of the article was to say how it was staying stateside this time instead of going the way of the Cosworth to Europe.

Well I am still around, I check out the threads all the time. I am overseas often so I don't have a lot of time. I still love cars and am considering a C5 (z06 hopefully) when I come back next time. No races lately, the civic is nice, but it is just not what anyone would call fast haha. I do not race it at all.

yea, i do miss a bunch of the old crew from awhile back, but its all good.

firefox 3 doesnt allow me to post, but IE does. go figure. also, af is a little slow during the middle of the day, loading and posting wise.

Fake? How?

Each post is 100% real. I've just been here for flippin' ever.

i remember you increased your posts one day, i cant remember when though. if i look for it, i might be able to find it. but i have no idea if you put them back....lol. i think you had 70k posts or something at one point

Ouch, not even remembered lol. I guess I bought a VR4. :D

i remember you increased your posts one day, i cant remember when though. if i look for it, i might be able to find it. but i have no idea if you put them back....lol. i think you had 70k posts or something at one point


That wasn't me... I've never had my posts increased. Each one was hand typed.

Only an Admin can change post counts, Igor increased one of the Mods to over 200,000 posts one year for his birthday... you'll see him around some time with 200k+ posts. I forget who it was. It was a joke at the time, but they just left it.

I think YogsVR4 has like 25,000+ posts or something...I dont know if those are all real or not, but damn!

Taking a look at this list of people makes me think that this side of the forums really were pretty busy back a few years ago. You literally could hop on and see new posts every minute.

Those were the times...

^^Haha I remember that. Especially in the evening, you could hit refresh and have a pretty good chance that someone posted something new. Now, sometimes the racing section won't see any action for a whole day at a time.

And BTW, GTmike400 or something was the mods name.

awwwww...i miss you guys and the old days *tears

there was a guy on the 3/s forums, damn it i forget his name. an aussie with a ralliart mitsubishi gto. i haven't heard him in a year or so. kinda makes you wonder what happens to these guys/gals who are on here for a couple years then just vanish

there was also hot3000, she got sideswiped in her 3000gt, then a tree branch smashed through the rear hatch glass in a storm, never did her TT conversion. bought a ford mustang, which repeditly broke down on her, her bf then went and got her an 06(?) honda civic.

everyone over in the porsche section same with the vector(no1 ever stayed, cept me).

me i started with a 79 porsche 924, a 95 dodge neon, and a 92 dodge stealth tt. now i have a 92 dodge stealth tt(though haven't driven it in a yr), and an 87 porsche 944. i came in for info on the stealth, have ended up with, geez, a girlfriend(over now), laughs, and outright fun, and some important auto info along the way.

and of course my bickering with sl3000 over proper english on the internet. guess what i'm still not really caring.


o few others: slade781(3000gt), hotshot8792(94 vr4), mistermoonpie(3000gt), mikevr4(sold his 93 vr4), linebckr49(93 3000gt sl)

I remember a lot of guys on that list. It was fun when things were active around here. You really could post and hit refresh and have a new post or even a comment to the post you just hit up. I miss those days. They made work so much easier to bear. Now I have to find something else to do....

If anyone cares I started out back in 06 with intentions of working on the Maxima and making a crazy sleeper. Now I'm investing most of my money in my 300zxTT.

chevytrucks92- His friendly car "Casper" and 2 Chevy pickups - i thought casper was the vega and bought a nova?

That's right. Still got em both too. Casper is still broke down. And the Nova is setting on the trailer. Haven't got to race at all this year (been getting married and stuff) but would you guys believe that I busted a fuel line?? Yeap, cranked it up a couple weeks ago and got out and seen some type of fluid pouring from underneath then front end. Turned out to be about a 2' line going from a regulator to the front bowl of the carb, lol.

Broke down sitting on the trailer! That's pretty bad I guess, lol. So while I haven't raced any this year, I have spent about $40 on the car, lol. I'm going to try and go later this month, but if not, then this will be the first time since I was like 11 that I haven't atleast been to watch a race.

This winter I may breakdown and drop the stoker motor out of Casper into the Nova and make it go really fast. Don't know though, because if you guys remember, I finally got the Nova to run consistant late last year. If you don't, turned out to be low on transmission fluid. Go figure.

Anyways, I do have 2 trucks, one is a '06 GMC (43K miles now) and the other is a '92 Chevy (195K miles now). Drive the Chevy M-F to work. Drive the G-Mak on weekends and sometimes during the week too. Also got a '08 Pontiac Grand Prix (wife's car), had it since July. She had a '00 Mustang V-6 but you know me and how I'm a Chevy person and all.

*pokes head out of cave of hiding*

Had a E46 3er, sold it and bought a Mazdaspeed3. Come to the realization that I horribly miss the 3er, so I'm looking at E46 3ers again. Also find myself wanting a truck quite bad. Not sure why.

When I first joined the forums, I was a freshman in college who just enjoyed cars. Then I really got into moddifying them (but didn't because I was a broke college student with a car whose aftermarket was marked up 2000000000%). Then I got disallusioned in the difference between fun, fast, and quick, and got rid of it for a Mazdaspeed3. Which is fast and quick. Not horribly fun. Ah well.

Now, I'm 23 years old and much wiser than I was exactly one year ago today. I hardly race anymore because I have a wonderful, amazing, commited girlfriend soon to be fiancé, and after three local horrible crashes (one of which was very close to home), I've come to the decision I cannot take the risks of racing or other stupid stuff I did because I don't want to hurt her in hurting myself. Odd how fast one grows up.

I still drive fast, but the asshole pissed off teenager driving is out of my system, no more cruising at 120. I hardly seen north of 85. Meh, I can honestly say I don't really miss it anymore, I still hang out with most of the guys I used to race with, I just don't actually go out and race.

In saving money but not putting 8 kazillion cruising miles and needing to fill up in gas three times a week, I've expanded my firearm collection.

When I joined, I was a freshman in college and I had no idea what I wanted to do in life. Now, I'm in the process of finalizing my Law School applications, and have two very good prospects on the table. Fingers crossed.

I still, in theory, work for General Motors. Yay. I think.
