Default New guy from Va Beach

Hello all the name is John. I have been around CL for awhile but I didnt really take time to look at the other forums of CL. So I thought I drop by and say hello. I have a 92 SC300 Im really glad that I decided not to get rid of the car. Been through way too many cars in the past so I figured to just stick with this one plus the wife was giving me a hard time lol. The car is a drift car so the body is not the best but in time it will get better. Here's some pics

Welcome to the Neloc section. Great group of guys here, and currently under leadership change at present. Very helpful individuals here who always look for any ol reason to have a meet or just get together. You will find that increasing with the warming of the weather, as most are in "winter mode" right now. Stick around. You'll enjoy your stay.

That's the plan lol but maybe only 20psi and a new tranny might be in the works. I have upgraded twins rebuilt by Evergreen Turbo in Fl. They have the t25 steel wheels in the turbos pretty awesome set of twins and extremely responsive, perfect for sliding.

Welcome to NELOC John! Nice SC you got there. I'm sure you have plenty of great plans for it, but don't rush too much man. Otherwise, you'll go broke like I just did LOL. I look forward to seeing you at the meets this upcoming season!

Oh no no no! I've invited all the big shot liberty guys every year for springfest and the after party at my home for the last two years and only chris and couple of others have accepted the invite.

You gonna make it down this year? Cough cough.....
