Hi guys, i am new to the forum and figured i would give an introduction. My name is Kurtis, i am 28, and am currently living in Sacramento. I am in the US Air Force, SSgt, little over 8 years in. My job in the Air Force is an aircraft mechanic. I spent almost 6 years in Alaska, stationed at Elmendorf, but am currently stationed at Beale. In Alaska i worked on F-15C's at Beale I work on the U-2S. As it stands now i am deployed, yet again, to an undisclosed location. When i get back home in a couple months i should hopefully have my orders to my new duty station, as the Air Force is force crosstraining me into working on bigger aircraft. Hopefully after that move i can look at getting an FD.

Previous performance vehicles i have owned are a phantom blue 2006 RX-8, bought off the showroom floor, a white 2005 Mitubishi Evo XIII putting down close to 400 AWHP. Other vehicles i have owned, 1989 Mazda 323 SE, 1995 Dodge Ram 1500 single cab short bed with a 360 in it, a 2003 Ford Ranger 4x4, 1989 Chevy S10 Blazer, 1988 Jeep Cherokee 4.0L, 2005 Jeep Wrangler. Currently i own a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 TRX4 offroad edition quad cab with a Hemi. Its electric blue and i bought it for my wife. 2011 Kia Soul+ also for my wife, so i dont have to keep the thirsty Hemi filled up. Last but not least i drive a '91 Acura Integra GS 2 dr. It is nothing to write home about, but i did get the car for free. The guy i got it from thought it had a blown engine so i took it off his hands. I replaced a $63 ignition switch and she started right up. It did however break down on me 2 weeks before i deployed... from my experience i would say my alternator took a crap.

I am happily married for almost 5 yrs to a wonderful little fiesty Korean woman, who has a thing for big trucks(not lifted just big) and fast cars. I met her in AK. Hopefully i can get her approval after the move to aquire a new car. I know a little about rotaries, from the 2 years i owned my RX-8, i loved that car too death and it was slightly modded. However due to circumstances i had to sell it and a piece of me has been missing since. I love rotaries and hope to one day contribute atleast something to this forum. If anyone has any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

 

nice bio bro. im fron humboldt county originally.. in the navy myself

 

Thanks man. Sorry if it was a bit much guys i figured i would get the most outa introducing myself. The only parts i missed were, when owning my RX8 i got a cat and named it Rotor , i love working on cars, and i would have to say my favorite RX7 is a 1993 CYM R1. i have seen some beautiful ones on here.

 

Welcome man,

I bet that's a change from Alaska to Sacramento. I live in Vallejo and go up to Sac alot to visit friends and boy it gets hot. Sorry to hear about you losing your Mazda. I felt the same way when I sold my heavily modded 95Integra and my previous car a 2003WRX. You will get the feeling back when you get another project car. I did when i just bought this 86 Turbo II. Good luck!

 

Looks like a move is in store, I got an assignment to Travis AFB. So i will be moving over towards Vacaville now. A whole 45mins away lol. Anyways after the move i am probably gonna be looking for a S5. One without a sunroof . I will post a WTB add once i get back from this deployment and get settled into my new house.

 

Welcome and thanks for serving.
