New Here...

Post by timandsam »

Hi all, I just joined the forum here, figured i'd introduced myself. I currently own an 85 XR. This is my second XR actually. I currently have a 3" turbo back exhaust from stinger, and a few other minor mods. I recently purchased a 944 intercooler, saab radiator, and recently ported my e6 i had laying around. Should get her back on the road soon! I live in PA. I Attached a few bad pictures...

Rookie mistake - you're forgiven!. :mrgreen: Too funny though - I didn't notice at first that you mentioned you're in PA but immediately assumed that by the house stonework.

Feel free to update your profile with your location and add "Tim" to your signature so you don't have to re-type it every time.

Oh yea... Welcome! :D

Tim, where at in Pennsylvania are you located? Fingers crossed that the answer is "western" but even if it isn't, you need to get out to Carlisle with that thing in June. No excuses!

Well, if nothing else, I'm sure there's a whole army of people on here that think that car should be in attendance the first weekend of June. :D

Good luck with the car!
