Hey Scotty too hottie!
Happy to see you have a spanking new site. I have been watching your content for a long time.
I would be interested in helping out and answering questions if you would like.
Credentials: I am a federally licensed A&P aircraft technician. I have been absolutely and totally engrossed in car culture and racing for 20 years. My specialty is in engine building and import cars (with an emphasis on turbo Mitsubishi eclipse/talon/laser, Nissan/,Datsun z and 240sx.) I am most knowledgeable in cars from the 70s to about 1999(the year almost all cool cars from Japan were axed).
Currently I have a 65 Mercury comet, a 75 Datsun 280z, a 96 eclipse with just over 600k miles and many repairs under it's belt, a 96 Trans Am on nitrous and an 02 Silverado.
I do all my own work however I'm a little weak in my lack of expertise in suspension. I feel my true claim to fame is the ability to go faster and last longer on a fraction of the cost. I am a junkyard juggernaut. I have always had more projects than money, so I've learned how to do a lot with very little.
If you could use me, by all means let me know. I hope this new website works out the way you dream, Scotty. I know you are one of the good ones trying to help people.
Sincerely,
Clint
Welcome Clint! Can you FIX ME!

Which cool cars were axed from Japan?
Supra, Rx7, 3000gt, 300zx, eclipse (the 4g63 ones), the NSX was close behind, the 240sx. It's pretty crazy how all of what I used to call "Pacific Muscle" all evaporated right at 1998.
Sure we eventually got the GTR and the Toyota/Subaru 86/brz but the days of twin turbo, low slung, lightweight rwd cars was over by Y2k.
Welcome there!
Scotty usually says answer some questions first and then they will see. Who knows, perhaps you will be more lucky than I am.
Good luck anyway!
