Resurrected member, not a noob..

Hello PEEPS
Has you can see I joined way back in '03 but have never posted....mostly cause I've stuck to my local forums here in Vegas.
I was originally on RotaryOwnersGroupLV, then VegasRotary and also WestCoastRotary.

Been tough into the carclub scene for 12yrs mostly the "Minitruckin" kind and a part of a racer type "Team" for a few years. Been wrenching on everything from lawnmowers to frontend CAT loaders and everything in between...

Bought my first Rotary in '98 a '87 GXL 2+2 w/ 225,000 original miles.
Did a complete TII conversion w/ AC and cruise control using my NA rearend a JDM S4 and a parts car in 1999, I was THE first in Vegas to do it and one the few period. So ya there was no websites or forums or anyone to get advice or help from. Ask any Vegas OG rotary person....

I'm not here to ask ya guys annoying questions or cause drama. Just looking to meet more REAL rotary people, instead of the people that jumped on the Drifting band wagon or saw 2Slow2Ridiculous that consistantly ask the same question over and over...

Ya it does I agree 100% but when you learn to read you'll see that the previous owner did that and I have completely different plans and ideas. I bought it solely for the suicide doors.

So it's been over 3 years of no money, no freetime, no motivation. And the time has come to put up or shut up.
Well i've finally found motivation, saved some money and got the time. Can't wait to drive my cars again!!!

I've never seen a door kit that opens the opposite way. That would take some getting used to.
