New guy, with a few shitty cars.
 
So yeah, the name's Matthew, 20 from Cincinnati OH.
Basically just another car enthusiast just like all the rest.

My cars:

1997 Probe GTS- turbo:

Built KLZE heads, Interprep springs/retainers, Colt Camshafts 210/355
GT3582R, Ludespeed turbo pipes, Tial 44mm, Nismo 550cc injectors, Aeromotive fuel, Walbroh 255, and external pump, etc...
Wheels: FD's w/ Drag radials, Sparco NTR's w/ all seasons, Rays work equip knockoffs w/ Azenis K-sport coilovers
fresh camo paint, black roof, cf hatch (not on in pics) Cf hood.
Mase 205.5whp/250.3wtq on 4psi, pump gas and a PIG RICH tune, AFR's never came above 10.3

Yes I know the i/c is not hooked up, nor is it straight, this was right after I got it off the tow truck, and had to take the bumper, and such off to save from killing the front end. The car is also MUCH lower now. New pics coming coon with the Work Equips on there.

I have this as well:
1993 LS-turbo hatch (DX) (14.0@108 blowing the tires off, 2.6 60') I had $800 in it.

Yes, That's pink. Since then I have spun a rod bearing on the original LS motor, killed the original LS transmission, and put new doors, fenders, hood, duckbill, and wheels/suspension on it. Now it's probably going to be returned to a stock LS though, as I have a new project.


I owned these:

1999 SI, coilovers, I/H/E it was a LOT lower when I owned it...

and this:
"race car-ish" 1987 Mustang Notchback:
Caged, Carbureted, Forged bottom end 308 (TRW 9:1, balanced rotating assembly, mild cam, eagle rods, clevite bearings, ARP hardware, etc...) Shitty 2.73 gear, freshly rebuilt t-5 trans, Motorsports clutch and flywheel.

My newest endeavor in the Honda world is a 92 DA Integra. It's an original GSR, and is basically untouched other than an HKS hi-power, some faggotry Ground control coilovers, and a short throw. Pretty clean car too, just not picture worthy just yet.

As for that, I'm going to freshen the motor up, throw a gasket and bearing set in it, as well as new rings, Toda timing belt, and supertech valvetrain, with some Crower 411t's. I'm piecing together my turbo kit for it right now, which is centered around a precision SC60 that came off of the pube. I'll be running RC 550's, and somewhere around 12-15psi, hoping to make mid 300's before she blows.


Keep your eyes peeled for pics, they will be coming shortly.

Thank you. I should have some updates on the probe (mostly safety stuff, kirkeys, new harnesses, cage, and possibly a mild wire tuck) shortly. I also just got my Work equips thrown on there the other day.
*hoping* to make 400whp on the junkyard bottom end, and pump gas.

Also, once I get my garage space cleared out from this Del sol, and get it sold, I will have some updates for the DA. Should be a nasty little bitch. haha

The Intercooler was a joke, but I honestly am a big fan of the color pink. haha

Thank you.

As for the comment about "nicer cars", haha my Mustang was a wiring gagglefuck, that was originally a fuel injected car, converted to carburetion. The Red SI was clean-ish.
The Hatch, is REALLY shitty, but that's the point.
The Probe, is getting there.

Thanks for the kind words fellas.
