Hey everybody. I've been coming to this forum for quite a while now, and i must say..its awesome!

and now for a lil about me:
my name is Dan, I'm 19 years old. I work with my father in general contracting. and i thank him so much for letting me in on the business, because if it wasn't for him, i wouldn't be were i am now... i currently live in New York, but soon to be living to North Carolina because we're moving. But its whatever. now on to my car(s)

when i was 13 i had bought a 1989 Toyota supra non turbo 5spd. I'm not going to lie, it was a piece of crap. i got it for $250. BUT it ran. i had bought the car to learn how to drive stick (with help from my father)..and as much as a p.o.s. the car was, i loved it. the water pump broke and sold it for 100 bucks lol.

then at the age of 16 i had saved up enough mulah to buy myself a 1995 eagle talon tsi awd 5spd. by now i had been working with my dad, a lil after school days and on the weekends. About after a year and a half i saved up a bunch of money to start modding the beast. after all was said and done, and all the heart-aches later, i got 335awhp and 325lbs of torque...pretty good numbers for a 16g i suppose. running 18lbs of boost...i had fallen in love with this car(no homo, hahah) but, the time was coming for me to stop spending so much money on a older car. soon i would have had to start worrying about the stock tranny and axles going..so i ended up selling it(still kinda regret it, but whatever)..

then about 7 months ago, i got a "new" car. a 2004 Honda s2000. got it with 17k miles on it. white with tan interior..I'm not gonna lie, its slow as *****, but i friggin love it, I'm at the point were i don't care about the power for this car because its not what it was meant for. as of now, its stock. well, i mean i have clear side marker lights instead of amber ones, but thats it lol.

but yea, once i have my s2k paid off..its time to start saving for an RX-7!!

Dan, thanks for the great intro and history! Def above and beyond but absolutely appreciated! I like your progression of cars...learn the manual, got stock and slow, got mods and faster but not tops handling, then got handling and now you're ready to put it altogether once you find the RX-7 of your dreams!

Welcome aboard!

Danny_rx7

Oh nice. You got any pics??.. And yea putting a good final drive does good for this car.

That's pretty awesome that it's from an FD, sick how it's interchangable.
