Hey all -

Some of you might know me, some not. I have been on the resource for a long time now (probably like since '99 or so) through all of its renovations, shutdowns, and everything else. I never posted much, but
have always been there. I am to the point of nearly abandoning it
altogether, as many of you already have. Steve Jones is just getting to
the point of becoming Hitler over there. I have never had a problem with
the guy myself, and have always followed the rules, but damn, he drives
knowledgeble people from there away (see Stickershop, Cloudpump, Leb_crx,
storminmatt, Abaz, etc., etc.) and its just slowed to a crawl.

Anyway, I have been lurking here for a while since this places inception,
and finally decided to join. I started to drift away from the resource to
homemadeturbo.com and geoff's (cloudpump's) place, but with that being
down i find myself here. I recognize nearly all of the names here and
have even met some of you at the last two niagara meets. I'll be here for
a while, seeing as this site looks to be a lot better than the current
state of the resource.

Oh yeah, and I own a CRX, two in fact, though my other is busted and a parts car now.

some engine pics:

disregard that sticker on my strut bar, I don't know where that came from.

oh yeah, now i remember.

anyway, i'll be around, like i've always been. later,

glad to see you jumped ship before it sank, think of us as the lifeboat 8)

If we're using naval analogies, fuck that.
Think of us as of one of these:
a rescue boat...something more substantial than a dinghy
an unpopulated tropical paradise...a good place to wash ashore
a U-boat...that just sunk the Resource

So, uh...Ahoy. Or whatever.

black_krix_si - I remember you from the resource and the niagara meets. And yeah, I've had that avatar forever, maybe i'll change it someday, probably not.

rex2nr - yeah, i remember your name too.

lumpy53 - Yeah, its a ZC. I live about 25 mins directly north of Baltimore right near the Baltimore/Carroll County line.

Everyone else - thanks for the welcomes, see you all around

Hey short, everything is sooo purtty but then you look at the header and it is just butt rusted ugly! What gives man?! :wink: ... oh, Welcome!

 

[shortA25]

Thats actually just rust-colored hi-temp engine paint. Really looks like rust doesn't it.

j/k, in all seriousness, it would be a combination of not having time, and I am gathering stuff for a turbo kit. Not to mention that I plan to get a newer car this summer like an integra or something so that I can take this off the road and tear it down. I just didn't see the point of spending the money for a header when i'll probably put on a homemade turbo kit within a year or so.

later,
