New From Worthington

[Bark]

Hey all, my name is Joe. Im a student at OSU and I work part-time as a mechanic and work weekends at the local autozone. Ive been in columbus a little over a year now. I currently have 3 cars; an 02 Buick Regal GS, and two Ford ZX2's (a turbo'd s/r and a stock daily driver).

I just demodded the buick a couple months ago getting it ready to sell. It was a fun car that ran a best of 13.2 with boltons; headers, rockers, intercooler, exhaust, and a supercharger pulley.

My turbo'd zx2 is my project car. I had it running last year until it spun a rod bearing during the fall. Now I need to tear down the block and rebuild it. The car is currently in cleveland and Im in columbus so not much is getting done.

Im a big fan of the track, Norwalk was like a home to me until I moved down here. I hope I can get my car going so I can have a little track time this summer.

 

See you guys around,

Joe

I found my cousin a salvage title 02 Zx2 for $1200 w/ 30k miles on it, it's her first car - deal of a lifetime if you ask me. They're cool little cars; the only problems w/ hers are crappy repaint issues....

 

Welcome, good intro .
