the "introduce yourself" thread

Since I've been reading I've read a ton of introduction threads. I thought it may save a little space by making this thread. If the mods like the idea then pin it but if not then I'll just use it to introduce myself.

I'm 24. Own 4 cars: an sr powered 89 silvia -
full rollcage, full jic suspension except for Kei Office coilovers, s14 brakes with slotted rotors, silvia front end, stripped interior xcept for dash and center console, custom mounted intercooler (behind headlight brackets with shorty intercooler custom pipes), dual electric fans, Koyo radiator, z32 maf (soon to install my APEXi DJetro Power FC that i bought like 2 years ago), APEXi strait through exhaust, jun exhaust manifold, stock turbo and motor, imported Uras front bumper with bomex sides and custom rear valance, vis corbon fiber hood and soon to be trunk lid, currently dropped my fuel tank in favor of a fuel cell and braded lines. I'm sure there's more but jesus christ i didn't know i dropped so much money into it until......well while i was writing this. It's in the paint booth but if anyone wants pics I have pics of my build.
also i have a 350 powered 69 camaro (being built, not much right now), a 2500 big *** chevy work van, and a 99 camry (for sale).
yes, i do have a myspace
and yes i do have a xbox360 live account- otakaun (gears baby!!!)

It would've been done by now if it wasn't for my kae blowing EVEN AFTER I BUILT IT AND WENT TURBO . I would never recomend anyone going ka turbo if they're going to be over 350+ hp. Iron may seem like a great condidate for a turbo but people forget that in extreme heat it cracks.

fully custom. I didn't make the cage though. I don't have that much time on my hands. Gil from Amerikajin built it. I'm 6' and 230lbs so it's hard to find a cage for me. But I recessed the floor and he tucked the cage just perfect. I have plenty head clearance for me and my helmet.

thanks man. i was searching for a long time until i seen those. They really cost a preetty penny but, to me, it's kinda like the centerpiece of the exterior. Plus they're lighter than they look.
