Greetings from Alaska!
Hey guys what's up? My name's James and I may be moving down to Mechanicsville at the end of the year if not then maybe spring-ish of 09.
I live in Anchorage, Alaska right now but have been giving it strong thought (moving I mean) I was born in Richmond actually but grew up here.
My brother goes to VCU and I spent some time down there during Christmas of 08. Since then I've been pondering the idea of going back and now am getting rather ansy about it.
Enough of that for now, onto the rides
Here's just a few pics of what I have.
2000 Focus ZX3 HKS boosted and built motor.
and my other lil fun mobile
2006.5 VW GTI 2.0T APR Tuned and Neuspeed intake. Pretty peppy lil car, can hold it's own with the 350Z pictured above (intake+exhaust)
Well, I'm very glad to have found an auto enthusiast site based in VA. I've been lurking for a little bit now but this forum is just massive compared to auto forums based out of AK (obviously haha) I'm hoping to learn a lot from you guys. Previous times I've been in VA I've had no real means of transportation so there were a lot of things I've missed out on. This time I'll have my baby with me and can do/go where ever I please.
I am just excited b/c Anchorage is nice and all but it's very limiting and you can't exactly drive anywhere. Moving to VA I've been dying to go to VA Beach and actually see all of Richmond. That, and having much more activities available during the night. (Yes, I'm a night owl heh) Even road trip the east coast and such.
I'll end it here for now. As before, I'm hoping to learn alot and meet people here. Talk to you guys later!

Re: Greetings from Alaska!
Yep, 2.0L zetec. 21 lbs of boost on C16 puts down 462 to the wheels. Looking to take up the boost soon and add alky/meth or spray, not sure yet.
Thanks!
Thanks!
