My name is Ben and I'm an addict..
Damn, wrong forum
umm.. drive an 88 Toyota Celica All-Trac, general mods were already done (intake, header, exhaust, always-on ic water pump, etc.), which means anything I do want to do is gonna be trickier than your average bolt-on.
Experience... well, I've owned a lot of crap cars, this is the first car I've owned that was really worth owning (#1- 87 accord, automatic and completely stock. #2 - 92 sentra SE that was nothing but problems, also stock, #3 - 95 Neon, stock, that was run off the road 4 weeks after I bought it and never fully recovered). Not much experience with anything too fancy, but then, that's why I'm here :) Just about everything seems to be a learning experience in some way or other, but that's half the fun (even though sometimes it is a huge pain in the ass) :P
Basically, I'm the guy that's going to be asking all the stupid questions :)

thats for off-topic! hey wheres the ot section!! :D
sup
My name is Kevin and I spend way too much money on tires. I'm an autox whore and I've raced:
-02 spec v ok, but nothing to brag about (SOLD)
-97 200sx se-r, shit always breaks...its the wife's car ;)
-95 neon acr, the best stock FWD handling car I've ever driven (SOLD)
-95 Integra GSR n/a 225 whp..very sick...tends to blow motors...but I've spent a lot of time behind the wheel (not my car)
-03 S2000: the best handling car I've ever driven...it's not a go fast straight line car, but it honestly has mad 3rd gear vTec y0! (current daily driver)
Soon to come: Lionel's 94 Civic Hatch...lowered with 17's and slow as shit, but it gets 38mph and I won't give a shit about door dings
Possible replacement cars for my wife's shitty Nissan: Scion xB, SRT-4, Subaru STi, or Erin's Wagon when he gets tired of it ;)

Oh yeah me.
I am one of the few people who still own a Spec V.
It's an 02 Silver mofo.
AEM CAI, OBX Header, Apex'i Exhaust, JIC FLT-A2s, Racing Hart C5's, motor mount inserts, B&M Short Shifter, DG CF Hood.
I am currently stealing any salvageable part from Erin's V on jackstands. :)
The car is about 50% his now I suppose. LOL
The only other car I owned was and 87 Toyota Celica GT-S, Canuck-Spec.
I am also the one that found ben the 88 Alltrac, you owe me MoFo!
I know enough about cars to break shit... that's about it.
Gotta turn of guest posting...
DangerViking

Danm right I owe you. I love that car :) But then, you've got a pretty sweet deal too, you get to drive it whenever you want without having to buy parts for the sum'bitch :P I need a stiffer suspension..
wgnths
04-12-2005, 07:56 AM
stiffer suspension yes! did you find that noise yet :?
DangerViking
04-12-2005, 08:02 AM
yup. Speaking of which, Mox, we're gonna need a broken stuff/troubleshooting section. It was just what you guys thought though, the exhaust is hitting the crossmember and resonating between around 3200-3600RPM. So I either get to take it out and bend the hangers, or find slightly smaller dampers, or just suck it up and deal with the inside of my head vibrating when I drive :P
Oh yeah, and my intercooler's on the way :D It's in illinois right now, should show up at Moxie's house on friday. woot!
moxie
04-12-2005, 08:03 AM

Maybe I should keep mine, and mox and I can be the Spec V duo! :D
wgnths
04-12-2005, 08:06 AM
you mean smaller/shorter hangers?? cause if thats the case i would spring and buy some kartboy hangers!! shorter and much stiffer!! i put those on my wrx to keep the exhaust up more and from moving side to side! they say for subaru, mitsu but they fit most all cars..used them on a spec too!

Damn.. those Kartboy hangers might be just the ticket. Whatchoo think Mox? Shame they stopped making the red.. seems like everything else aftermarket on the AllTrac's already red, may as well stick with it :P

my name is George
I've had a few.... vehicles too
57 chev 210 2dr sedan
57 chev 2dr belair hardtop (should have never sold it)
68 ford pu 2wd, that truck had some balls, I could keep up with 4 by's and it would just piss them off!
79 ford pu, that one sucked
62 scout, top speed was maybe 50 going down hill with a tail wind! but it was fun off road
76 ford pu, good work truck
72 510, should of kept that one too
86 sentra, hey for $500 it was a good car, over the years I replaced or rebuilt just about everything in it. Then it got trashed, dont ask, I am still pissed off about it.
86 1/2 hardbody, still takes me from point a to point b, and its still all original, I should replace those hoses some day
02 spec-v, so far its been good to me, its fun to auto x and maybe one day I might figure out what I am doing???
By the way.... How the flock is everyone!
