Well, now that I've got this guild going, I think it's a good idea for everyone to introduce themselves first, as most of you will have no idea what to post first otherwise. So, go ahead.
My name is Dan, but since I really don't like people calling me that, just call me JZA, my Gaian name. As you may notice, that's stolen right off of the model number for the Toyota Supra, but that's not the topic at hand.
:3
Right now, I own a 2002 FORD F-150 Pickup, which isn't exactly fit for racing. I mean, I ordered a wide body kit for it and everything, so I can guarantee you it looks fantastic, especially since it's black with purple accents, but you don't race pickup trucks. That's why I plan on buying a Mitsubishi 3000GT (GTO) VR-4 for myself in the future, even though the insurance is going to end up killing me.
Okay, so, while drifting is cool and all, I prefer grip style racing. Stick to the road, go as fast as you possibly can, and if you like to do things with an illegal twist, be the best at swirving in and out of traffic. Open highways are my best friend. <3 That's why I like a car that has so much power. Quite frankly, the VR-4 would prove to be a really shitty drifter, or actually a superb drifter but only for someone who's very adept, since it's AWD. Maybe I'll have to try it... With someone else's tires.

Hey all that have posted before me. My name is Mack but many call me Mackdog for some odd reason. I own a 98' Subaru Impreza and enjoy driving it when I can. I hope to be able to get my own WRX STi or whatever is better at the time I can.

whats up everyone. my name is Matt, but you can call me d0ri if you want.
i own a 1985 Toyota Corolla GTS. AE86
nothing special yet, really.
its all stock, except for the radiator.
the only thing ive recently done was a JDM taillight conversion, and put mudflaps on.
I'm currently working on a front zenki Levin conversion, should be done in a few months.
plans for motor: 4A-GZE, maybe 4A-GTE
i found an 88 MR2 supercharged motor, and i'm still debating to keep it s/c or turbo it.
suspension is coming soon. KYB AGX shocks with Espilir ASD springs
my rims are some old Dynalites...i have no idea what the name of them is.
espilir gt exhaust soon to come as well.

Hooray for the Eight Six. <3 I'm curious about the MR2 motor, will that fit? Is it from an MR2 or an MR-S? Dude. You put mudflaps on it...? Well, to each his own. Actually, on the eight six, it probably looks cool.

HI i drive a 2001 Mitsubishi eclipse Spyder convertable. I havent done much to it, but the brake lights are different from all the models though. I guess thats the only customization to the car i have. I'll get a pic up soon.

Love the Eclipse type. Even better than that body style, in my opinion, is the older one. That's a hot car, either way, though.

Actually, on the eight six, it probably looks cool. the MR2 motor will bolt right up. its the wiring and re-routing of all the hoses thats gonna be difficult (sorta). its from the old AW11 MR2, the first gen. and the mudflaps...heh. i like them.

Ever thought about getting it painted? The eight six is cool, but all of them are that color. I'd just love to see one that was like, green or something. The mudflaps actually look pretty cool, love the 'Levin' logos on them. Now, with that MR-2 motor, it's obviously going to increase in performance, right? Do you have to make any gear ratio adjustments to accompany the new source of power? I mean, what do you intend to do with the increased horsepower?

I mean, what do you intend to do with the increased horsepower? no need to get it painted. i know it looks white, but its actually a gold-ish color and black. thanks about the mudflaps. hopefully the whole conversion will be done soon. as far as the motor, the gear ratios on the T50 tranny are fine, its only about a 45 hp increase. i mean, i guess i could get a TRD final drive gear...but ill be doing autocross, so the low-end should be fine.
