New Guy Intro

[C-Mart]

New guy in town - not sure if I had to do an intro, but here it is.

Moved here for work from Columbus, Ohio. Kirks5oh told me about this site. Will be all over the state selling steel, but living in Wauwatosa for now.

Current rides are a 2005 King Ranch F150 and company car 2010 Fusion.

Love the truck, but cannot justify keeping it with a free car so it will be up for sale soon. Wanting to pick up a project car once I move into a place with a big garage. I love cars with engines that don't belong in them. LSX FD RX7, old mustang with a 03 cobra motor, etc.

Some more of the truck

Then rides from the past.

These were my first two cars

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c319/enjoi_crx/solandstang.jpg

Only picture I could find. Mustang was slow as hell. 289 2 barrel with an auto. Good looking car though. Del sol (I was 16 and will never own a FWD fun car again) had a t04e turbo. My first real project.

Had a R6 for a while, but going fast on 2 wheels isn't for me. If I get another it will be a bobber or WWII bike.

And then here is a coffee table I built.

Looking forward to living here though, I have really enjoyed it so far. Once I get a worthy car Ill be at some shows. Not sure about the racing that goes on here, but always down for that as well.

Also, looking for a shop to install two o2 sensor bungs on the f150 so if anyone has a local suggestion please let me know. I have all the parts, just need the exhaust dropped and the bungs welded on. Last shop I took it to welded me up a down pipe, but forgot to install all 4 sensors. :mad:

Cheers

That's pretty ridiculous. I've actually had my eye on a set of those wheels for a while.

Everyone else - thanks for the welcome. Still looking for a shop if anyone has a recommendation.

I took my truck to COR to get my exhaust work done. I could not have asked for a better experience. From quality work to working around my schedule Ron really came through for me.

If anyone is interested the truck is now for sale.

Thanks again Ron!

Can I swap driver's side mirrors? Because mine is kind of broken.... :goof

Good luck with the sale!

[C-Mart]

I figured I would bump this as quite a bit has changed since I last posted. Truck and car are gone replaced with a truck a few more cars.

I am in the middle of a V8 swap for my E30. I have a roller 1998 540i 6 speed that I bought that had the motor replaced and the body was in rough shape. I am going to use the motor/trans/wiring to put it in my E30. I put in my two weeks at work recently and have a week break between the old and new job so I am hoping to get that 95% completed over that time.

I sold my truck since I never drove it and moved downtown, but recently moved back to the burbs so I picked up a good running F250. My old company also took away my company car so I needed a new DD. I thought a 2006 CTS-V would be a good fit since I still needed a 4 door to take clients out in. Looking to mildly modify it - anything that can improve HP and mileage funny enough since she will be seeing 30k miles/year.

Since so much had changed in the stable I figured I would check back in here. Hopefully with the new fun car and E30 close to being done I will be able to make it to an event or two before the weather turns.

[Yooformula]

very cool!

[Wagonbacker9]

Jealous.

[C-Mart]

I figured I would give this a little update. I ran into a problem with the motor mounts, but got it figured out. That really limited the progress I could make since the motor was not sitting in its permanent location. Now that the motor is in I realized I do not want to separate the motor and trans every time I need to take it out so I am making my rad support removable. After that I will be able to measure how much driveshaft I need to shorten, start the brake booster relocation work and wiring.

In the mean time I painted my truck.

And now should be getting some parts for the CTS-V as well as a tune, lowering, and anti-wheel hop kit.

[GHOSST]

Welcome. Nice rides, and nice bike. I'm going to be getting into two wheels sometime soon, since I sold my 01' SS, I think its time to give 4 wheels a rest. No rocket for me though, looking cruiser. What do you think of WI so far?

[C-Mart]

I like WI a lot. I grew up in Cleveland and it reminds me of a nicer version of that.

CTS-V is for sale by the way.

[Wagonbacker9]

If I hadn't just picked up the G8 I would definitely be on that.. nice looking car.

[C-Mart]

G8s are great cars congrats on your purchase.

[C-Mart]

CTS is SOLD

[C-Mart]

Long time no post.

Car is running and man is it fun. Down side is the 4.10 diff and the .089 final drive trans don't get along with the tires (DRs) too well. I have a 2.93 on the way which should help.

Plan for the car was a track/street machine. I bought coilovers, BBK, big sticky tires, etc. One thing I didn't have was a roll cage and I found a decent deal on one locally so I jumped on it. Well, I went for a roll cage and walked out with a car - the guy was selling one of my dream cars (details later) and now this one is for sale.

My current plan is to rebuild my current over the winter. Redo the wiring, redo the brake lines, get the bumpers back on, get the interior back in, etc. I'd still like for that to be the timeline and sell it in the spring, but if anyone has any interest I'd be happy to show the car. I've got a TON of extra parts to go with it. Shoot me a text for more info or pictures. 614-915-5355

Welcome!

[C-Mart]

Thank you. Not too new at this point but I figured this wasn't worth starting a new thread over.

[docan44]

I would like to invite you all to race

[TheRX7Project]

Ok?

[Waver]

Ok?

He is calling you out! He wants some of the Plymouth!

[william schlosser]

Welcome!

[TheRX7Project]

He is calling you out! He wants some of the Plymouth!
I think he'll win that one, the Plymouth is down and out. And the RX7 broke at the end of October like it did last year (carb started leaking gas this year- last year it popped a radiator hose AS I WAS PULLING IN TO PARK IT FOR THE WINTER!)

V8 swap is done. No problems after 500 miles on it. Will be officially listing it for sale within the week. Shoot me a text or call if you are interested in the build sheet. Will be asking $10,000 as it sits. 614-915-5355

Looks badass!!
