Popular Post Xyster101 Posted January 16, 2010 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Hey everyone! Real name is Max. I have a 1991 MR2 Turbo that I picked up 4 years ago with 130k miles on her. Originally from NY about 2 hours north of NYC in the land of mountains, twistie roads, and geographic beauty. Now I have been dumped in super flat Ohio and trying not to go insane. I have taken up track days at Mid Ohio with 12 days so far. Might head farther from home this summer to Putnam possibly. I enjoy working on the my car, talking cars, driving, eating, did I mention talking about cars? Some after market goodies: springs/shocks Urthane bushings EBC AutoX pads Strut bars Turbo back exhaust MBC running 16psi (stock is 11psi) Just picked up a larger inter cooler and some 17's. Not on the car yet. I have some other bolts on's, just can't think of them. I also just learned of the Columbus Cars & Coffee. I am going to make it out to that when that starts up in April. Of course some pictures: http://www.adamdaley.com/max/mr2/MR2side1.jpg http://www.adamdaley.com/max/mr2/web1.jpg http://www.adamdaley.com/max/mr2/web3.jpg http://www.adamdaley.com/max/mr2/OctDrive/IMG_0181.jpg 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1647545523 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 ...I have been dumped in super flat Ohio and trying not to go insane. Welcome, Max. Sharp car, good intro. I hope to see you at CR events. And just stop struggling against the insanity. Once you give in to it, things go a lot smoother for you here in Ohio. + rep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xyster101 Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I am warming up to Ohio. I have been to Hocking Hills area numerous times and is beautiful! Where I am in Dublin, a little boring. I have thought about AutoX, I just don't like the idea of going somewhere for 6 hours and getting to drive for only 6 minutes. I will look into those links 31rx7, thanks. I know some of the BMW and Porsche clubs get some more time in, so I need to look into that a bit. Thanks for the warm welcome. Anyone else here have an MR2 (besides Crossle)? Hey Crossle!! Thanks for introducing me here. It is a pain to actually get to see the real content of this site with this initiation jargon. I am also part of http://www.mr2oc.com. I teach high school, enjoy hiking with the dog, moutain bikin, RC Helicopters, and building things with power tools. I have been here in Ohio for about 3 years now. I also have a few videos of my car at Mid Ohio. I run the HPDE group2 sessions there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvB7LScppho And of course, one can never post enough pictures! http://www.adamdaley.com/max/mr2/IMG_4825.JPG Mid Ohio here http://www.adamdaley.com/max/mr2/mr2web.jpg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImUrOBGYN Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Welcome to CR. I know how you feel about the driving, however, dont' count Ohio out, yet. The roads exist if you know where to find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Now I have been dumped in super flat Ohio and trying not to go insane. I have taken up track days at Mid Ohio with 12 days so far. Might head farther from home this summer to Putnam possibly. Welcome Max. Nice car. I remember when they first came out, I was in college and wanted one bad. As others have said, don't think Ohio is flat. Go east and south and you'll be right at home in the twisties and on hills. Within 30 minutes of us in Dublin, you'll be having the time of your life. Just beware of the PO-PO on major roads like 23, 71, 270 and 315. Over time you'll get to know the remote roads that are far less traveled and hardly ever patrolled.

31rx7 Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 ..I have thought about AutoX, I just don't like the idea of going somewhere for 6 hours and getting to drive for only 6 minutes. I will look into those links 31rx7, thanks. I know some of the BMW and Porsche clubs get some more time in, so I need to look into that a bit... Agreed on the track time. At the driver's schools, you usually get plenty of track time so you might want to check out one of those. Keep an eye on the schedules as several of us on here autocross and I am sure would be happy to put you in the passeger's seat. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
