To take its place

Hello! I've been around here for a while and have been taking pics for you folks.

This was one of the first cars I built with any seriousness. This is a Pontiac G8 that was originally a base V6 sedan, in Liquid Red; I put together an LS7 swap, with that engine putting down about the same as it did stock. Never dyno'd it. Sold it to another owner in AZ (the "HOT ROD" plate is his).


My two current cars: a Skyline GT-R R33, locally famous as a 900WHP monster (although I almost never have it up at high boost like that); and a Supra with a slightly tamer 700WHP output.


It's taken a lot of money to build both cars - I'd estimate that there's about $150,000 invested in the R33, and there's about $70,000 invested in the Supra. Well worth it. Wouldn't sell either of them for anything that I can imagine. Although... having one car without a back seat and another that's a little scary to drive daily is kind of impractical.



The R33. My precious. This is how it sits now. License plate: "R33 900".



The Supra. This car was one I was less personally involved with building; the local VStanced Garage location did most of the work. License plate: "2JZ LOL".


If you want to meet me, stop by the Library (the buildings at the Test Track in these pics). I'll usually be available to meet there. ;)

(This was my 800th post when I posted the original. lol - that's fitting)
