Hey Y'all

Hey guys and gals;

I moved out here from Calgary in June of 2006. I live and breathe cars, and I have owned:
  • 91 Civic SE
  • 92 Eagle Talon ES
  • 1999 Civic SiR
  • 1990 Nissan Silvia
  • 1997 Ford Probe GT
  • and now, 1991 MR2 Turbo

The Silvia had just over 320 horsepower off of the CA18DET, running 18 psi off of a GT28RS. Crazy fast- I loved it. The MR2, however, is by far the most fun I've ever had on 4 wheels.

I'm goin' to school in London, so if anyone wants to go for a cruise out in the 519 area send me a PM- I'm always done for a cruise, a trip to the track, or a meet in and around town- I'll shoot the and talk cars all day, and I can hold my own when the drinks start flowin'. I work online and have always got time

Also, are there any speed shops in London, or do I have to hit up the GTA for my horsepower addiction? OH, and who around here can tune my Deuce?

I don't have pics of the Civic (both of them) or Talon, but I can provide a link to the Silvia that I imported (http://www.importconcern.ca/stock/100082/)- that car underwent a massive transformation.

By the time I sold it that car had...

+ CA18DET 1.8L Turbo
+ GT28RS Turbo (mmmmmm)
+ 440 RC Engineering injectors
+ Custom intake + exhaust (3" all way - no cat, no muffler)
+ GReddy Profec B - set at stock (8psi) and "fun" (15 psi)
+ Custom FMIC w/ spearco core
+ HKS SSQV Bov
+ Lightened flywheel and clutch
+ LSD Transmission (also sweet)
+ Ported and polished head
+ NRG Coilovers
+ ROM Tune (from www.autodream.ca)
+ A whole bunch more random stuff...

The Probe is currently bone stock save for a fart cannon that the previous owner put on. I hit a deer on the way from Calgary to Toronto (15 minutes east of Thunder Bay), so it has a white fender and black headlight. No performance parts to speak of.

The MR2 is my pride and joy. I've only owned it for a short while, but it's easily the most fun to drive.

Partial mod list:

+ RevIII 3S-GTE turbo engine (245 HP stock)
+ Custom SMIC w/ 3" ceramic coated piping and GReddy core
+ Manual boost controller
+ Tein coilover/performance shocks
+ 1994 MR2 Turbo slotted brakes
+ Intake + custom exhaust (3" DP to 2.5" Y-split)
+ Rims (not really a mod)
+ Stainless steel brake lines
+ 1996 JDM LSD transmission

Still a work in progress. Hoping for about 30+ whp in the next season (hotter cams, lightened flywheel, 255 lph fuel pump + appropriate tune, GReddy Profec B). I tell you though, the MR2 is a serious sports car, whereas the Silvia went fast in a straight line.
