I'm back starting over

Hi my name is matt cooper, im 19, and i live in delaware ohio. I got my first rx7 a few days ago and im already in love with it. Im having trouble finding an engine but I think ill save up over the winter for a imported engine like a turbo 2 or maybe a front clip, im not sure yet. I traded my s13 coupe shell for a full s5 with k sport coils and i got corbeau seats today in a trade for some nissan parts I had. Im looking forword to learning about these cars and building mine

I was on here before until I sold my car, well I traded it to a friend who sold it then another friend bought it now I'm getting it back for an Xbox and 150$ haha. I need struts/springs, radiator and battery that I know of..

Anyway I wanted to start fresh and post a new intro. I'm 20 and I'm from Delaware Ohio and I will soon be moving to Lima Ohio and hopefully be going to unoh to get a dual associates degree in automotive. I'm also looking to trade my SR swapped s13 hatch for a nice rx7 so we will see how that goes... any questions feel free to ask! Ill post pics when I pick the car up on Wednesday.

I posted this from my phone so don't be supprised if everyother word is misspelled

Hi everyone my name is matt cooper, im 20 years old, i have an s13 hatch with sr20det and now have an 88 rx7 vert as well as a daily which is an 05 dodge durango limited edition (aka tow vehicle). I live in lima ohio, I recently moved here to start college at unoh and when I graduate I will have a dual associates degree in automotive and high performance, I may even take the business class but im not sure yet.

Well there it was, short and simple. Ive tried posting an intro thread three times now, so hopefully the third time is the charm!

I will have more pics for you guys later i promise! I just so happen to be out of town for work right now...







take it easy everyone!
