Default The n00b

As the topic states, I am the n00b. Bought a 93 Del Sol from a ricer who was a total *******. Had bad axels on it and then neutralbombed it, thus causing the passanger side axel to break into 3 pieces and fly into the transmission case.

Mods:
eBay intake (via previous owner...he put injen stickers on it)

cat-back exhaust: Dynomax DNX midpipe from a hatch. Cut, fitted and rewelded by myself. Dynomax "super turbo" muffler. No offence to anyone, I hate the sound of 95% of the "fartcan" systems on the market.

JDM D16y7 "swap" (via previous owner)

Shaved rear bumper lines... Not a hard mod, just tedious.

Alpine Head Unit

Removed the ugly "P-tuning.com" and "Injen Technologies" stickers from the rear windsheild

Replaced:
Both upper a-arms
inner and outer tie-rods (both sides)
Drivers side door handle
all 3 belts
both axels
welded patch on tranny (had mechineshop check internals, got okayed)

Future Mods:
Mini-me (while I find and build a B series.....don't flame me on the mini-me swap... I'm a college student, college=broke)
Manual trans swap (I live in the moutains.... autos don't cut it).
Coil-over suspension
Paint job (Idiot ricers went all flatblack on the perfect paint that was on it)

What you will not see on my car:
Body-kits
obnoxious looking wheels
wings/spoilers
a fartcan
Neon lights
Altezza lights
Stickers (Other than the one blocking the crack behind the rear-view mirror)

I'll shut up now and post a few pics =-)






My Truck:


My 2nd Gen, MarkII Celica-Supra:



(It's now a shell waiting for paint. Franken-Stein motor. 7mgte block with 5mge head, CT-26 turbo, 3" turbo-back, 4:10 LSD Diff, 1 piece-driveshaft)

Is this a tech thing or are you just showing off all the cars you own. If that is the case then check the A/C forum. But welcome.
