Hey folks, We have a shop here in Columbus that specializes in Fiat cars. Yes, Fiat cars. And a Yugo or too (they are all Fiat underneath). We sell new and used parts all over the world for these cars, and also do service, restorations, restomods and race-prep. We have raced X1/9s in SCCA National Competition got almost a decade, with 4 top 5's at the Runoffs in the last 5 years. Last year we took 2nd place with a car that was finished one week before the event, and the Runoffs was its first race. Below are some pix. I'd like to show you all what we can do in person, some weekend.

Hey guys just wanted to setup a little I-R-Noob thread. My name is Mike I live in Blacklick. I am 25, 6'4, brown hair, blue eyes and like long walks on the beach. No really I am just an average Joe who has an expensive hobby or as my future wife likes to call it my 2nd girlfriend. That would be my car. I drive a black 2008 Dodge Caliber SRT-4. I do not have a whole lot done to it. Everything I do have I have installed myself. Working on the car is almost as fun as racing it! The mods include Stage 1 ecu, K&N Drop in, WOT box, and a cheap 3'' intake tube. With my current setup im sitting around mid 13's at about 103-104 mph trap. I usually go to National Trail Raceway on Friday nights when they have street fights. Ill be there tomorrow feel free to stop by and give me hell since I am the noob and all. I try and go to as many events as possible in the Ohio area. There was a mini GumBall in Akron I went to in June and that was a blast. Tied first place for time. hopefully you have a good idea as to who I am. If you want any more info let me know. For now ill leave you with some pictures. http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/SRTmike08/th_carcopy.jpg http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/SRTmike08/th_IMAG0035.jpg http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/SRTmike08/th_IMAG0039.jpg http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/SRTmike08/th_IMAG0010.jpg http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/SRTmike08/th_IMAG0007.jpg http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss248/SRTmike08/th_IMAGE_001.jpg

hello CR Ima a newbie a little about myself my name is Mark im a 3.0 college student in Dayton, i am a professional bartender, army reserve, and attempting to DJ, studding for my BA in mechanical engineer (we rule the world lol jk) i drive a 92 Camaro in which i just swapped a 350SB into it and a Th350 transmission. it was a recent transmission swap after i realized the tranny with the motor needed to be electronically controlled instead of vacuum. Had to get a Drive shaft cut to fit from a caprice classic and that's about it i drive a Honda on the side until my Camaro is movable.. im here to network maybe learn some stuff and meet new people once again Hello world

and it wont let me post pics...

My name is Troy and I've been wrenching in the motorcyle/powersports world here in Ohio for over the last 17 years. Most of the stuff I've done over the last 6-7 years is in dragrace performance for bikes. However I do work on just about any motorcycle, atv or pwc that has ever been made. The past shops that I have work at since 1992 are, ASK (Lancaster), Treadway Honda-Suzuki, ASK (Lancaster), Champion Motorsports in Heath, Xtreme Cycle Warehouse (when Bob owned it), MSP Racing/MSP Suzuki (Columbus/Heath), Hinds Motorsports and now All Terrain Sports in Chillocthe. I also started my own shop in New Lexington where I work on any brand there is. I have a DynoJet dyno for motorcycles/atv's at my shop also in New Lexington. A lot of you motorcycles guys know of me and hope to meet some cool ass people here and in the future. Will try and post some pics if I can. Are there any fast motorcycles in Columbus anymore/

Sounds about right. I like to think of my car like a diamond stuck in coal. The diamond is the powertrain and the coal is the rest of the car lol. The caliber is a little rough around the edges but I find it fun to drive. I would never have thought about a base Caliber but the SRT appealed to me.

Oooo nice car. Ill go if I can get a little ride along from ya.

Dunno if I should answer as I just got bitch slapped a few posts back. We may or may not have a few clean rollers w/o title, one clean one with title at our shop. They may or may not be getting use at the current time and it would be nice for one to be in possession of someone else with interest. You may or may not want to contact us.

12's would be nice but the money to get there is a little out of my reach at the moment. I'm happy with my current trap speed and times. Theirs some guy in northern Ohio that has a Caliber running 11's . I think the main thing I need to work on is being consistent, As you can see from my 3 drag slips I am not the most consistent. Thanks for the welcomes guys!

Oh man would I love to here the story behimd this!

This is my 2002 Saleen S281 SC stang. I bought the car with 24,000 miles on it and just turned it over to 30,000 miles last week. I drive this pretty much every day it is nice. It has quite a few things done to it...full length headers, high flow cat pipe, flowmaster cat back,bigger MAF meter, dual focus fuel pumps, 42 lb injectors, the smallest blower pulley I could find(puts out 16 pounds of boost...dyno proven) 373 "Saleen" gear, Pro 5.0 shifter with Mach 1 knob, SCT X-CAL 3 Tuner,upgraded the grill to a Mach 1 grill delete, Replaced the head lights to a brighter set, Higher flow heat exchanger,.Saleen Series IV intake elbow, BBK Throttle Body, sub frame connectors,...umm I gotta be forgetting something. I also changed out the seats...I know thats probibly a sin on this type of web site but I hated the factory GT seats! 01 Cobra seats are in it now...They look sweet in it! I was a die hard Chevy guy in my 1985 Z28 till I took my first ride in a 1989 5.0 coupe...I have been a mustang guy since! This is my 5th one and by far my favorite! I have had a 1993 reef blue coupe 5.0, bought a 2004 GT new, 2004 Dark Shadow Grey Mach, 2003 Azure Blue Mach, 2001 SVT Lightning...so as you can see I have a addiction! http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2653/3703568872_a7e73f1228.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2543/3703593110_142c724feb.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2484/3703596604_6a451f46b2.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2609/3702785977_456d4cc1d4.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3512/3702764305_5404318c77.jpg
