Hello all, new member here
I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself here. My name is Kelly and I live in Richmond. Im 29, a proud father of a baby girl almost 12 months, and married to my beautifull wife Jess. Im into wrenching on cars, autocrossing sometimes, and basic gear head stuff. Being a new father I havent had much free time lately but Id still would like to get to know a few local car nuts in my area, meet up at events/cruise ins, help wrench, or whatever. thanks guys and girls...

Remember to update your profile with your car mods and a picture.If you posted that you were a chick, you'd get a lot more responses in this thread from the desperate "walk on the beach" crowd.

Re: Hello all, new member here
Hey thanks for the welcome everyone. I havent done much to the car yet, working 40+ hrs, no time and money, baby, and a new homeowner keeps me busy enough.
So far Ive rebuilt the stock 22RE motor with RTE turbo pistons (lowered stock comp to about 9:1), ARP rod bolts, polished the factory forged rods, chromoly rings, HV oil pump. I using a generic KN style filter and ditched the factory airbox crap, 2.25" manifold back exhaust with Hi flow Catco converter, and Flowmaster Deltaflow muffler, Optima redtop battery, Accel coil and wires, Electric fan coversion, Lexus ES 300 strut tower bar, Auto to 5 speed tranny conversion, ghetto ground wire setup, 195/60/14 Falken Azenis fronts, 225/60/14 Sumitomo rears, KYB rear shocks with MK2 supra rear springs cut 1", Supra front springs to install still and some other things I cant remember...
