Hi all, my name is Bret. I have lived in Columbus for a few years now, but don't have any real friends in the area who are fellow enthusiasts. I have been into cars since I was little and I just love all things high performance.

 

I have two cars currently. My daily driver is a 2004 VW Jetta GLI 1.8T which I love! Its almost completely stock, and I am trying hard to keep it that way. I am also finishing up a 1990 Eagle Talon TSi AWD which has turned into a couple year project. It should finally see the road in the next few weeks, which will be the first time since like 1998 or something crazy like that! I bought the car two years ago from a guy who had it sitting in his garage all tore apart since like 1999. The motor is now completely built and I'm just trying to wrap up some details so I can finally drive it. I'm just running a small 16G for now, but have plans to do some upgrading over this coming winter.

 

I would really like to get involved with the group, as I tend to be shy and have a hard time making new friends. I have lots of friends back where I grew up around Akron-Canton, but would like to have some pals in Columbus. I look forward to meeting many of you and having a kick ass summer.

 

Here is a picture of my Jetta

and... here is a picture of my Talon as it looked when I bought it. I have since gotten it back to solid red, and its looking ALOT better!

also, not sure if there are any Nissan guys on here, but its possible I may have met you a few years back. This 240SX was my pride and joy for many years, but have since sold it. Sorry, maybe its lame to post a picture of my old car, but I still love it and miss it!

thanks! yeah I really love the color on my Jetta. Its called Platinum Gray I believe. and the paint on the Talon, that really was not my style! the car is originally red, and he had the front end yellow which he faded into the red on the doors. anyways, all back to red now with some gunmetal gray 17x9's that I'm trying to make fit!

Welcome! I like the 240, and it looks exactly like a friends old 240, but he wrecked it a few years ago during a drift competition.

(here's a vid of the car, not the wreck http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1402289319768674290#)

 

Good luck on that DSM. All red is definitely an improvement on the F&F Integra wanna-be fade job. The best man in my wedding has a 1G that we used to autocross. It was a blast to drive on the street with a 16G. (EVOIII 16G, 2.3L Stroker)
