Hey Everyone,

I've been lurking in the shadows for a few years and figured it was time to say hi. I'm the same NY bumpkin who frequents the other forum under the same name.
I have owned and driven more 2nd gens then I can remember at this point. My current stable includes an 88 10th anniversary turbo that is awaiting a fresh motor, and an 88 convertible project that has been on the back-burner for entirely too long.
The 10th A/E was my weekend run-about toy untill an apex seal expired, necessitating the rebuild.
The convertible is more of an exercise in customizing. Not much of the body remains stock; A lot of the interior has had subtle (and not-so-subtle) changes; The suspension has been upgraded and modified; The motor I'm building is a hybrid s4/s5 with an early original GReddy TD06 turbo/FMIC kit and controlled by a Rtek 2.1. The list of goodies goes on and on..... I'll do a build thread one of these days.

Welcome to RCC. Visit frequently and post often, especially the build threads. We love them here. Mine have turned into blogs and I love it actually.

I'd be interested in seeing the 'Vert as I have one of those that I'm about to dive into pretty good on Wednesday. Build threads are good though, seriously ;)

Thanks folks!

I'm kinda bashfull when it comes to posting pics of my rides, especially the vert. It's far from complete and is 3 or 4 different colors right now. Maybe once it gets closer to final paint I'll post a few shots.
I'll give you this: The belt line has been shaved from the entire car, the side skirts and rear bumper are molded in, it has a FC2000 nose customized with bi-xenon projectors from an '07 Acura TL, the doors have one-piece windows, etc....

Now I just need to build a damn garage at home so I can really work on all these projects! Working in the driveway for so many years has gotten played out.
