Hey guys, been around for awhile, and already know a lot of people on this board, just was too lazy to sign up for the longest time. I've been down to Absolute 4 or 5 times, and I'm involved with others guys on this board organizing and planning the CF Benefit Car show that was yesterday (8/7) ... figured it was time to start throwing in my 2 cents here.

welcome!

techboy · 08-08-2005, 10:37 AM

thanks

Welcome techboy! Is that thing fast?

WRX27 · 08-08-2005, 11:28 AM

Welcome!

PaleDSM · 08-08-2005, 12:59 PM

If you had asked the fast question some time back the answer would have been different.

TalonTsi97 · 08-08-2005, 02:56 PM

Welcome, what you got done to the car?

techboy · 08-08-2005, 03:53 PM

Is it fast? Ha!, it was. :thumbdow: It depends on which motor is in the car. Right now it's a n/a 420A, but I also have a turbo-charged one. Unfortunately I spun the main rod bearings and warped the block back in April. I'm in the process of buidling another one from a SRT-4 while my turbo collects dust on my work bench. When fully together I run a FMIC'd Super16G with a quaife limited-slip, CM Stage III clutch, wiseco pistons, pauter rods, machined head, fully ported upper and lower intake manifold - gasket matched to the TB and a host of other things that would take forever to list. Do I qualify to be on the board?

welcome...was your car in the show on sunday? the one in your avatar?
i was there too

PaleDSM · 08-09-2005, 02:28 PM

Yup, Chris was there. Parked just a few cars down from mine under the trees.

techboy · 08-09-2005, 03:57 PM

Yeah Ryan, I was there. I was the guy annoucing the trophy you recieved at the end of the show. I believe we've met twice, at last years show and this years. Thanks for the welcome.

Shades of Gray · 08-09-2005, 08:07 PM

o hey...BTW, which supra took first?? was it an overwelming defeat?
show was a lot of fun...sweet cars too

techboy · 08-09-2005, 11:04 PM

The red Supra that showed up kinda late took 3rd. The VW Corrado parked with the Supra's took first. Don't worry, it was only by 1 vote :P

PaleDSM · 08-10-2005, 10:34 AM

The thing with the supras is that they are all pretty nice so the voting was split between a few of them. That kept any one from killing everyone else. The quality of alot of the cars also kept any one supra from running away with the show.
