Hey folks, Thought it was high time I introduced myself, I've been around the forum for a little while now, but never actually took the time to say hi. So "hello". Here's my vehicular breakdown: 1/1997 318ti, mostly stock performance-wise, quite a few upgrades suspension-wise (by previous owner Tyler, another forum member), I've fixed a bunch of little interior items so far, currently working on alternator rebuild (my sub/amp is killing the battery), upcoming big brake upgrade (has been on my to-do-list for about 6 months now). Not many other plans for this car, it's mostly transportation for me. Fun transportation at that though! 1969 C3 Coupe, highly modified. 355ci, built myself, blueprinted myself. Forged crank and rods, hypereutectic pistons with plasma-moly coated skirts, full floating pins, fully balanced rotating assembly. standard stroke. 280 duration camshaft with quite a bit of overlap, idles at 600 RPM and you can hear each cylinder firing like a beautiful symphony : ) Hooker sidepipes and open baffles. You'll always hear me coming. Too many other mods to list here. 2003 Suzuki SV-650S, no performance-mods. Front end from a 2005 GSXR. Penske 2-way adjustable rear shock. Tasty Sato rear-sets. '98 F3 rear wheel, 170 profile rear Pilot Power. Yummy. 2x 1999 Yamaha YZ-250s, standard desert mods. Two stroke goodness. 2005 Giant NRS-C2 MTB. Carbon fiber frame, full suspension goodness. 27 lbs dry. Fox RL80 front fork. Likes going mudding down by the railroad tracks. This is my favorite vehicle by far, I would sell every other item on this list before I sold my MTB.  Cheers, brothers and sisters!

OK, more pics:   I don't have much else, sadly, from the 7 years I've owned her. Probably time for a drive and some photos in the spring. | | | | | 02-28-2008, 07:07 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Orange County, NY Posts: 1,067 |

I made mistake about my buddy's Vette. He has a 65, so it is a C2. He has a stock 327 Fuel Injected motor that pumps out 375HP. | | | | | 02-28-2008, 11:53 PM | #12 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Orange County, NY Posts: 1,067 |

Fuellies are just like having a cherry on top to boot. | | | | | 02-29-2008, 04:22 AM | #15 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Fort Collins, CO Posts: 1,305 |
