Its been sometime since I've surf through these pages, just wanting an update from the vets here, like Travis hows yer CA18ET project going, Indy hows yer old N/A beast! Geoff, you fixed that cancer yet ;) ? Dan ever get yer hands on yer old SE or one like it? I dunno I'm missing tons of guyz here, my apologizes, but feel free to speak up!
Take it easy fella'z
Alex
where have YOU been.
I dunno been going through some shitty times, parents just got divorced, my good friend lost his life in a wreck a month back, dunno kinda drifted from the computer a bit, yeah know how it goes, Hows yer CA20ET coming along? got any numbers for me !! Maybe a ca20e that can give me 4age a good run ;? ahaha
Dan bought his old SE back a few months ago.
hey dude sucks you have had a bad run and what happened to your old beast any plans on another s12?
Rob Newcombe (???) in the RX-7 you mean ? Or someone else ? Too many accidents here lately ...
Yeah Rob Newcombe James, he was a real good guy, such a ****ing waste.

Old beast, well put her backwards at 60km/h down a 45deg hillside, broadsided a tree, flipped ontop my roof and slide in a stream, Joy. Future plans, unfortunately I've ben turne to Yota's, plans are to store the AE86 for the winter, finished the bodywork, add some body accents (lip, skirts...), then install the new suspension im build, (2inch/drop MR springs, Tokico HP (hopefully), bushings and what not.)
Then come Spring, bring the AE out of hiding, then track down either a 77-79 Corolla (RWD of course) or in failing that first gen 74-79?? Celica, and drop in a 12A, fully gutt it, like race trim ;), I think you all get the picture, it'll be the car I can abuse with about feeling bad ;).
sucks to hear my friend but remember we are here for ya if you need anything...
Well Alex,
Sorry to hear about that. I hope that you find some way to deal with the pain. Worst thing to do is to keep it inside.
My project is coming along. SLOWLY...as per norm for me. I've pretty much got the engine complete except for the turbo header/downpipe/exhaust that I need to make. All outa stainless steel... :evillaug: The reason for the slowness is cause I gotta go back to school in January so I have a massive bill for tutition and books. Money for car gets second place.
Are you working steady?
tell ya the truth work has really started to cut back my hours, but im in the search for another job, plus I'm one of those people that always finds ways of making money under the table *wink* *wink*, how bout yer self? you sound pretty busy with school, the wife, the kid (S12) lol...
How long till ya think the ca will be breathin' fire?
As for dealing with all this BS, all I can say is I'm glad I'm 19.
Like getting alcohol was difficult before you were 19 ? ;)

Yup, busy with school, work, wife??? not yet aleast, and the kid fo sho
Since all of my previous predictions have been wrong, about when the car will be started...I'm going to play this one safe. I'd say that it will be breathing fire in time for the Vancouver Winter Olypmics in 2010. Yup...should be about that long...LOL
Seriously, I'd say by summer time next year is good bet. Just in time for the s12 meet/roadtrip I want to plan. Seeing as how you were a previous memeber I think that we'd have to invite you and your AE86.

Dude whenever and wherever I'm down, I wont forget my S12 roots!
WOW there you are, another face I thought we lost to the sands of time...
Sory to hear about the crap that's shoveled into your lap recently... You dont sound discouraged tho with your car enthusiast interests and that's good! You know you have a place here anyways regardless of what you drive (unless you go buy an NSX or something stupid / insta-rice haha).
heeey man, you've been gone so long. hasn't been the same without you, heh. other than the shit that's gone down so far, what else is new man? my car still has cancer, and it's health is rapidly declining. my new plan for the car - drive it into the ground and get another which is a decent starting point, lol.
Hey Alex, good to hear from ya man.
Sorry to hear about all the shit that's been goin on. Hope it all works out for ya in the end.
How's the rolla treaten ya, you traitorous nazi bastard? heh.
what's new with me? crashed the RPS12 into a curb when i was blinded by the sun...****ed up control arm and 2 of my rims. but it's all repaired now....except the brakes and some paint damage. I still haven't gottent he throttle body on yet..hahaha. eventually it'll happen...eventually...heh. I just purchased a full factory bodykit from 88turbo. it's on it's way now!! woohoo!!!
Sorry for the late reply man. club-s12 has been givin me some problems..and last time I replied, it took a shit on me and everythign I wrote went away..and I just coudlnt' post at all...
anyway, good luck man. stay in touch.
ahah Geoff sounds like a plan, Drive it like ya stole it ;) And when she does die, you should take a gander at the other side of the pond, maybe venture into the world of the ae86 coupe....lol **dodges flying objects** **shakes fist at indy!**
Thats shitty indy, but yeah know everyone eats curb atleast once. Other than that sure as hell sounds like yer S12 is coming right along, good to hear. My 'rolla shes doing good, geting reqady to tuck her away for the winter so i can tackle the cancer thats forming, and maybe start pieceing together the Vertex body kit.... mmmmm But other than the body work, got me a full new suspension on its way (gotta love aftermarket support ), so in a few weeks she'll be canned 2'inches on MR springs, and Tokico Hp's shocks.
dont worry, I'll still be chillin' in the shadows of Club-S12 for sometime. And yeah when the hell are all us west coasters gunna meet up?
Yeah Arro its been a tough few months, I'm not the kind of person who wears there emotions on their sleeve. Having a heart of stone helps too...
But yeah if I didnt have something to put my time and effort into (ae86) then i think I probably would have lost it long ago. It is true, you can find happiness at the bottom of a bottle, well sometimes ahah.

count me in.
Glad to hear that you are doing better than the last time I talked to you. I really hope that you get another S12 soon, it was a shame as to what happened in the spring...
count me in for a road trip in the summer as well. hey, would it be absolutely crazy to replace all the body panels with fiberglass ones?

Well, I just want everyone to know that I want to plan this....but nothing is set in stone quite yet. I'll probly start a "Expression of Interest" thread about it to see who and where people will be coming from. Then we can go from there.
Also, yes it is crazy.
I wouldn't mind a drive out to B.C. sometime during the summer.
Have it in the Okanagan somewhere, like Kelowna. It would save anybody coming from the praries a good 3 hours of driving off an already long trip, and the valley is so amazing in the summer that it would be great for a photoshoot. Plus we could hit some mountain roads after?
Anyways, this isn't the place to talk about it. Start a thread in the Announcements section if you want to get started planning this.

I agree with this kelowna idea..
There's absolutely NOTHING to do in Kelowna...but there's so many hot girls there that it's okay..hahah
