Hello everyone. My name is Mark, im 29 and i work as a Lead Pharmacy Tech currently working on getting CPhT certification. After getting certified one of the places i plan on moving to is Columbus. Kinda want to stay close to the family and friends.

 

interests go from video games to videography. Im A.d.d with interests which doesnt help), that is when schedules meet up and im not stuck at work ( 2-11 shift blows) every night. But i work 03av6coupe in doing our media stuff. Actually wouldnt mind making my way down and getting video of you guys sometime. Always good to add new material.

 

And just for refrence

 

I learned about CR from Toledotuners, which im currently a mod for. So there should be no worries about EMO trolling from me. But after a current post up on our forums, i thought i would sign up as well. I already know a handful of people that reside in the area, and would look forward to meeting more. Everytime ive been down there its been a great time.

 

Ive been in the "scene" if you will, since 2000. Started off with a 98 honda civic, which thankfully i didnt have a lot of money then so i didnt do anything stupid ricey and just had an exhaust, intake and suspension.

In 2005 i picked up an '03 Buell XB9R. Previous ownder did some motor work but unsure exactly what it was. Never really cracked it open to find out, partly in fact since it doesnt leak oil and would like to keep it that way;). it does lobe a little harder than stock buells ive been next to so who knows.

After selling off my 98 i decided to pick up a 92 hatch and learn the right way. Purchased from down in Cbus in Jan '06, i threw out the d series and dropped a b18a into it. added ITR header, apexi mid with a spoon Axleback. The car still needed a lot of work, but in Nov of '06, a motor home decided it needed more room and used it as a curb bumper and tore into it.

Than in Jan of 07 i purchased a 1997 Civic Hatch. H22a1, Ground Control CO's, LSB, Buddy Club P-1's, Recaro pole position driver and Recaro ITR passenger. I miss this car dearly since being sold. Some may have seen it at some of the Honda meets a few years ago with slomo.

 

Honda-Tech meet at Slomo - Thanks shockerjoe

Suja1 meet in chicago

and Finally, after selling both Hondas, i decided to go a different direction and go Euro. 1995 M3, Stock (also meaning broken). The last 20 months have been an up and down road trying to save to fix the thing. But after fixing a lot of little problems, im finally able to tackle the suspension. Itll be a really slow build, but all i want is a nice standing, clean car. Dont need anything fast or extreme.

Another great Toledo intro. Like the M3, just needs dropped. :)

 

Thats the plan. Right now i have bilsteins with ECS tuning rear shock mounts sitting here waiting to go on to replace the the completely blown stockers on there now. Surprised they lasted as long as they did. The Goal for right now is get it back to a point where i can actually drive it. I bought it with 125k on the clock and it just turned 133 this month.

 

Aug/Sept projects

-Suspension - Shocks ( H&R non OE sprot springs will come in the spring when i can afford to replace the stock bushing as well)

-O2 sensor

-Front tires

-Fix Passanger side door handle (doesnt work)

-Fix/replace fog lights

-Get rid of the chrome kidneys for black ones.

-And now fix my windshield since now its cracked (stupid rocks)

 

 

its a bit of a money pit, but i can say it has never let me down. i get it and turn the key and starts up every time. Just cant waite to actually enjoy it and be able to experience the car as it should.
