HomemadeTurbo - DIY Turbo Forum - A few Updates With HMT =) 56k sure! :X

1st - As you can see we have our new logo in the upper Right, (you can thank Whiterice) Mike for that.. Nice work.. it took johnny a few to get it to work in the forum but it looks good. If you dont like it, you will be banned ;D

2nd - The HMT picture database is now online, with over 3400 pictures, everything from when we first started. (actually theres more I'm still adding) But just about everything is there from every event/turbo setup/write up we have ever done. We had alot people always asking "were are the pics from such and such" and alot of the pictures were scattered on my 3 servers, and sometimes its hard to find in the forum.. Johhny did a sweet job writting the php program that displays the pictures

https://www.homemadeturbo.com/pictures/ (its on the menu)

Anyhow hope you enjoy them it took forever to do, and there are some pictures of of my family and ---- in there, if you even think about photochopping that ---- your banned ;)

3rd - Our new forum is online, By popular demand.. people wanted a fabrication section like Honda-tech, so we can show them what real fabrication is (jbweld/flux core madness) I also threw in Porn, simple because we do have alot of porn floating around hmt and I would rather we keep it in on specific forum. (i know its kinda odd) But we will see what happens. Whitey (Matt) has volentered to look over the forum.

4th - New classified Moderator, After stealthmode/hotrex.. I have now asked turbohf (Dustin) to be our classified moderator. Hes a good guy and has been with HMT from the begining.

Hope you guys enjoy the new changes, and thanks Johhny (random-strike) for getting everything to work right.

Here are a few that caught my eye in the picture database

https://www.homemadeturbo.com/2004/c...p/hmtcamp9.jpg

The hmt camp trip that got caught a bit short due to some Beau madness... Kyle was the first HMT member (that actually lived far away) that came and visited the NW crew.

https://www.homemadeturbo.com/2004/misc/stealthy.jpg

The real question is what happened to Stealthmode... the sudden change we all noticed or was it just me?

The Ring Land "Crusher" dave has helped out me, johhny, pat, beau and many others. We really apprciate it man. Your knowledge of countless hours of street tuning has helped our backyard setups come to life.

BBKA Beerbongskicksass (Pat) a good friend met through hmt, his setup impressed alot of people including myself. His setup is by far the most "Solid" as dave would say.

The longest project I myself have ever done, and the lowest output. The wheeze was fun and its coming back in 06 boosted.

https://www.homemadeturbo.com/2005/v...e-mounted4.jpg

I want to thank everyone for all the kind donations and big thanks to all the sponsers. Not to mention the HMT Staff for keeping this place in line. Thanks!
