Hello all,
Thought I'd throw up a bit of my background. Spent from when I was old enough to walk toddling around on motorbikes. As soon as I grew tall enough, I started racing junior speedway.
Unfortunately I had a rather big accident at Broadford Motorsports Complex during my progression to 500cc bikes which damaged my neck and shoulder, so I decided to move on to BMX / Mountain Bikes.
As soon as I was old enough to get my license I purchased a 1987 Toyota Corolla AE82, granny spec. Did all the usual P Plate mods, cut springs, big stereo, and slammed it as low as it could comfortably go on Mitsubishi Mirage 13's.
But as with all first year P Platers, we think we're racers, and even with only 35bhp, I managed to get done for 128kmh in a 100 zone (just before hoon laws came in!) then proceeded to understeer into a pole the following week.
I then slightly hardened up and purchased a manual AE80 with a dyno proven 24.2bhp! Went 'JDM' and slammed it on compressed Pedders and 13" Dragways.
I also acquired one of Honda's very underrated CBR250R's, which was my way back in to 2 wheels.
And that leads me to now, having just bought into my first weapon. Having moved to SA, gotten rid of all my toys and moved on to full unrestricted license. Much to my girlfriends' dismay, I purchased the only turbo car within my budget an absolutely haggard 1994 GSR, it's seen better days but will be a hoot when finished!
Permanent work has never been harder to find, so funds/mods will be at a minimum until work is found.
But until then, I'll be looking forwards to meeting some of you!
