New?! Not Really.

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

Welcome to the forum & like Titanium said post frequently. I'm interested in this vert you spoke of.

Welcome to the forum!

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.
