I Decided that i should probably make an intro, i've been on here for a while. I'm 21 from Northern British Columbia (currently living in nanaimo for School) I've been around the car scene since before i can remember. i have followed followed this car since the rumour mill began in 2009.
I've had a decent set of cars so far and am no stranger to the track or Auto-x. my first vehicle was a 93 LHD RX-7 bought as a rolling shell when i was 15. 2 years of working after school and on weekends bought me a stock 20b and bell housing to mount to the stock 5 speed. a custom built turbo system with A/W intercooler was fabbed up by a couple good (older diesel guys) mechanics. wasn't looking for crazy power but ended up with a 300whp @ 8 psi on low boost (winter mode, Yes i drove it in the winter) and 520whp on high boost ~22psi (Summer). drove it for 3 months and got a Trade offer Straight across for a 2004 S2K (with H/T) with >20000km (16000miles) and said hell ya.
S2k was slowly built throughout college, Ohlins TTX, T1R Exhaust, full underbody trays and a proper (custom) Diffuser, Wing, then GT30R (460whp) turbo system right before i sold it. it resides somewhere in florida these days. currently drive a 2005 Cobalt SS with TVS 1320 supercharger swap and upgraded clutch (320whp sleeper).
Before you guys go thinking that, i come from a rich family, i should say that i've worked for all of this with little to no help from family. I've worked at a Mill throughout high school ($25/hr) and currently (since i started college 4 years ago) at a mine during the summer (clear roughly 25k each summer) i have a united savings fund (my parents put away money for both me and my sister) that covers tuition and books each year. i pay room and board to maximize savings through the school year.
Hoping to sell my Cobalt and use that money + what i have left over from selling the S, to fund my purchase of an FR-S, i put down a deposit but have been waiting since i joined the forum in October still no VIN or timeline (Think i've been forgotten but i'll wait now anyway) Want a Silver FR-S M/T hopefully buy the end of this summer i'll have one. now you guys know probably way too much about me. but i'm glad to be here.
