Yep, I know Ryan from when he was in High School. I just graduated from App and I am down around Charlotte now. I never got an opportunity to show him who his daddy was before the blue car got wrecked. Tell him Sexton and Jenna say hey.

I had the Burgundy NA which is now being painted and getting a motor/ecu transplant. Sadly, it will be n/a for the time being.

I worked at Tweetsie with Jenna a couple summers back. She probably doesn't remember me though. What happened to your turbo setup?

Parted it out. I wanted to have a solid car to start doing TT/Hill Climbs. It is paying for the VVT motor and the Haltech unit.


So for now it will be more reliable and more competitive in CSP than it would have been in SSM.

I want to go bigger on my car, but am afraid it will sound bad or be too loud. I have an n/a high compression motor and bigger cam, and I am speculating that I need more exhaust to match my build.

That is a nice looking car by the way. I hope you enjoy it here.
Everyones opinion of loud is different.

I had a exhaust that sounded like Cessna was coming in for Landing. And got many compliments. ........It would give you a headache. and I hated it!

My brother was 17 and all his friends said I was stupid for getting rid of it.


I wounder if the guy still has his cat in. That may make it liveable.

Just warning...Hear exhaust for yourself. Everyones opinion is different.

Yeah I am attending state for Electrical Engineering. Currently Co-Oping at Sony Ericsson in RTP. Thanks to them for my turbo build fund.

Yeah definably still have my cat and mid pipe muffler in place. It really is just slightly louder than stock. Probably should have mentioned this earlier.

Except the Bronze then clashes with the seats. Oh well.

I know who you are I was actually at the last WSCC meet at Wolf Creek and saw your car there. Probably should have spoken up. My miata was at the body shop getting a dent repaired at the time. I don't really post on the WSCC forum very often, but then again it has been down for a month or so now. Is your car turbo?

I have yet to ride in one as well. What roll bar are you going with? I need to replace my timing belt and get a new clutch before the build. My goal is to do it over thanksgiving, but it may have to be pushed back till christmas :(.
