Default New guy from Houston

... Well I just moved to Houston from Lincoln, NE, and I'm a student at the School of Automotive Machinists.

I have a '91 Talon Tsi Awd and an '87 Rx-7 that will be getting a turbo'd 6.0 and a th400.

I also take pictures for 1320video and I did all the pictures for the LSfest and Drag Week. Since moving to Houston, I've been taking/editing my own videos and Im liking the Houston street scene.

Alot of my friends are Ls1 guys, and I've finally decided to build one, I'll be sure to make a build thread.

Yea, I'm an ex-DSM guy. My talon ran a 12.0 @ 115 when it was still together, but when I lost my license for a while I had to sell some parts to pay the bills, it sucked but I did what I had to do.

Haha there are LOTS of those kinda guys out here. The worst seem to be the "700whp hondas" that only go from 80 rolls and such, thinking their car is the ****. I mean come on now you built a car to do THAT?!

Welcome to Tech also. My first was a 2000 Neon (yeah I know, a Neon), but in my defense, I did have a SRT-4 motor waiting to go in it but then the factory motor blew and I felt like the car was an Ex-Flood car or because it was from up and around Virginia Beach but it was like every time I turned a nut or bolt, I would have to end up fixing/replacing something so I got tired of it and sold out and got a Camaro and haven't looked back since.

Amen to that, but reliability is getting worse and worse as the cars get older.
