Popular Post EvoXbmx Posted September 9, 2010 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) Sorry about the Asian accent in the intro title, its late and I am tired! Thanks Steve-O for the invite over here. My name is Bill and I am originally from Cleveland. I moved down here about 4 years ago for work. I am a full time technician at a large used car dealership. I also ride BMX. I have been in the "car scene" since 2000. I have owned 4 Impulse RS's and there is supposedly only 800 in the US! I frequent Isuzone.org a lot but it has unfortunately became I pile of garbage over the past couple of years due to the lack of moderation My car project car is a 1991 Isuzu Impulse RS. I rebuilt the stock engine when I first bought it 2 years ago and took her autocrossing that same year. The car was very fun, but not fun enough!! and the "Handling by Lotus" was kind of pathetic! SO I have been busy making drastic changes. There is virtually no aftermarket support for this car, believe it or not. So I have been dealing with what resources I have to work with. I can go on all day about my car (ask Steve!) but I will spare you the details for now! My daily driver is a 2008 Lancer Evolution GSR with a Cobb "Stage 2" and 3in exhaust. I have autocrossed this car a few times, even with temp tags still on it! http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e346/billycoyote/impulsewheellift.jpg Handling by lotus yo! Stock suspension is not so impressive... http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e346/billycoyote/impulseturn.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e346/billycoyote/myimpulse.jpg http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e346/billycoyote/strutmod.jpg Modified KYB GR-2 strut with generic coilovers and camber plate (Did not have these installed when I autocrossed if you were wondering about the horrific wheel lift) http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e346/billycoyote/newheadlights.jpg New headlight lenses and big intercooler for my new turbo: Garrett GT25RS http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e346/billycoyote/halos.jpg Halos! I like them, so sue me http://www.incom-racing.com/images/gallery/OvrSolo20100515/images/solo1294.jpg Evo autocross in Ohio Valley Region SCCA event http://albes.blogs.com/photos/the_flow_comp_1108/nosepic.jpg "Flow" skatepark contest in 2008 "Dirty East" So there I am, in a nutshell. Want more information about me and my pics, feel free to ask. Edited September 9, 2010 by EvoXbmx Crappy grammar 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benner Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Welcome to the Chaos. Don't know that I've ever seen an impulse in person but hell, sounds like a fun car, especially with that turbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I had one for a short time in the early 90's. It was a fun car and competitive enough for back then. Suprised alot of people. I generally never talk about it because nobody knows what the hell it is. lol Remember the Stylus? Course, you do. Had a buddy with one back then, too. Not a bad little car, either.

FormulaMatt Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I always loved the front end of those Impulses....I just think they could have done so much more with the rest of the body - they don't seem to match. Still, fun little cars though. My buddy used to have one. Nice intro and welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC K9 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Hey man welcome. +rep for the good intro and clean impulse. I am so pissed with myself. For like a year there was a Red Turbo AWD impulse that just sat in the street by my house and I kicked around the idea of offering the owners a couple hundred bucks for it since it never moved and then one day it was just gone. I really regret having not tried to get that car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvoXbmx Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Welcome to the Chaos. Don't know that I've ever seen an impulse in person but hell, sounds like a fun car, especially with that turbo. They're pretty neat and I enjoy explaining to people what they are and what I've done with it. It is a 1.6l Turbo and is of course awd, just in case you weren't familiar holy shit another stoned goat! those are cool as fuck Not sure I follow, but I agree!! Hey man welcome. +rep for the good intro and clean impulse. I am so pissed with myself. For like a year there was a Red Turbo AWD impulse that just sat in the street by my house and I kicked around the idea of offering the owners a couple hundred bucks for it since it never moved and then one day it was just gone. I really regret having not tried to get that car. Thanks! Whats sad is that red Impulse was probably one of my old ones...What street was it on? Not sure if Jono is still on here anymore, but he used to be the resident Impulse Nerd, had a few from what I remember. I knew Jono. He shipped off to Ukraine or something with the military. My friend owns his old white Impulse. A piston was blown apart when he got it! And thanks again everyone for the welcome!!! Cant wait to see some of your projects and hope I can contribute in some way, shape, or form to the community http://southparkstudios.mtvnimages.com/images/shows/southpark/vertical_video/import/season_10/sp_1002_01_v6.jpg?width=200 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
