I really dont mind hooking up newbs, but give me a f-ing break that I have to justify myself over and over again.
A newb or two suggested that we kill this thread a while back
I know I'm not the only old skooler that has help other members. Some of these new owners dont know the whole picture.
The first of the newbs that came out after the OG'rs were PAY & Gfrnk69. I remember these guys. Pay is still around in this thread.
Gimpster is the next of the new ones that pop in in this thread and he comes over sporatically.
BoneoutJZA80 is one of the newest ones that was instantly accepted by the old skoolers, as he is genuinely a good guy.
We all started out as f-ing newbs. SOCAL350, Dozer, IllestjrZ, ZXSaint, WongkeeZ33 were the original ones that were going to the thursday bar meets. Each of these members + others that have been dormant have help numerours memeber out.
Here is a little then and now on the old schoolers:
Nismo33:
Was a warehouse manager for a medium sized brake manufacturer. Have done B swaps, suspensions, exhaust, paint, bodywork, customs fiber glass enclosures.
I am now a Senior VP of a Mortgage company and own other businesses including a new performance parts shop. Soon to include basic bolt on installations, turbo installs, SR20 swaps.
I can keep going but I refuse to stand idle while people dont have the patience and or common sense to look at things globally and understand everything before making any blanket statements, half truths about members that have established a respectable name on this forum.
***for all the members out there, post count dont mean $hit. It just means you are a post *****. Look at the overall picture like quality of posts, threads started, and how many succesfull meets have you organized.
Need reference of some of the people I help car wise or jsut everyday ish:
Nitrouz, Zraygo, Pay, Alex12, Rickdogg, 350Z_Italy, bobowah, daniel733, 03fairlady,NOBI, Hydrazine, 350Now, and on and on and on.

thanks Pogi,
appreciate the props Virg, yeah i was on here in 2004 but barely became pretty active last year, i usually just check out So. Cal and marketplace then bounce but yeah i know what you mean how things can be frustrating, its like there's only how much you can do and the rest is common sense and knowledge, people have to learn to search the threads or go to meets where they can actually meet someone in person and learn more about the car rather than bombard someone with PM's on things that can be found out if your search, this is not directed towards anyone its just hypothetically in any thread or even like for instance
i get these messages on myspace with people wanting to race my bro's 1994 Supra twinturbo, how fast is your car, how many HP, sometimes when you tell them its under 500 HP they start clownin' like HP is the biggest thing when they dont realize sometimes you cannot utilize the 600 or 700 HP on track unless your Tarzan Yamada most of us normal folk cannot handle that power unless its in a straight line.... and speaking about Supras many of those HIGH HORSEPOWER GUYS ARENT DAILY DRIVEN AND JUST DYNO QUEENS...
***personally my target HP for my Z is 320- mid 400's so i can still daily drive and track***
then other people with ask me to race for PINKS ...gimme a fcking break man
and if you want to get old school, WE including you were working on cars in the era where the only things you can probably buy were headers, cams, msd, intake, exhaust, and straight pipe probably NOS and if you were nutty turbo but probably the only 2 kits available were DRAG and REVHARD (which are still around) 1995 ish when Tony Fuchs and David Shih barely broke into the 11's and 10's, i was 11 or 12 but i helped my bro work on his 1991 Acura Integra which consisted of PIAA 959's, Ultraflow exhaust with straightpipe, cut springs that were swapped for ST's, fuba antenna, Sparco 15" wheels, mugen 3 piece, iceman intake, DC headers, and GUDE or bullfrog cams ,i forget
drag racing in terminal island ontario and sylmar
anyways just saying ive been into cars the same time you have so we can relate so i totally see where you are coming from
gluck on the new car thing coming ill be sure to send folks your way and
also hows the mortgage thing doing my 3 buddies from New Century i believe are probably jobless i heard they took a fall on the news and from them
have a nice evening ill see you jeff and whoever sometime soon
gotta study for a test tommorow peace out bros and fellow 818ers
bottom line is just cut the guy some slack *this isnt directed to anyone directly just saying hypothetically*

Appreciate the support bro. Hey if your boys are from New Century need help looking for work. I know an AE looking for some reps on the hard money lending side. You might want to think about joining us, it's on your schedule and you are not stuck to a desk.

hahahaha old school brotha you know how we do 3 places to get parts from before were Pitcrew, Pocket Rocket, Promotion, Han, and Carmate
RS Akimoto, Nology, Magnecore, Iceman, K & N, DC sports, Gude, KG built, JG Engine Dynamics, Jackson Racing, Bullfrog, MSD, PIAA, NGK, Greddy and HKS
the only magazine out then was Turbo and Sport Compact Car, Superstreet came out a tad bit later but we didnt even have carshows before
no internet or JDM / Rice it was trial and error
parts were soooo damn hard to come by
