Thread: Greetings from the upper left corner!

Hey everyone! I've been browsing the forums way too long and I think it's finally about time I actually become active in our little community. I'll start by introducing myself.

My name is Rudolf, I am 21 years old and am from a small town located out in Washington state. I didn't get into the car game until I was around 18 when I got my first vehicle, a 2003 WRX wagon. I drove the wagon for about a year and decided I wanted something completely different that I could call my actual own personal car instead of cruising around in the family wagon. Enter Rocky Mk1.



I purchased my car just over a year ago and I'm finally getting getting into the final stages of swapping in my VE. In the process of pulling and installing the new motor I've learned a few neat things about it:

• One of the previous owners installed stainless braided lines and tokico blues with some unknown springs (which will be removed and replaced with KYBs and hypercos/road magnets)
  

• The car actually came with the Greddy SP1 exhaust
  

• The car possibly has an aftermarket front swaybar
  

• There are numerous ES bushings throughout the car that weren't mentioned in the sale ad
  

• the transmission actually had an older Stillen lightweight flywheel inside
  

The car is nearing the completion of it's motorswap but I'm nowhere near what I want to be. Thanks for reading guys! I can't wait to start getting more active in the SR20-forum community!

Welcome to the forum

Welcome and you have come to the right place.

Thanks guys! I've learned a lot about my car the past few months from all the reading I've done so far. I also owe a lot of what I know to my friend Sean (malaha5). If anything I owe him the big thanks for even getting me interested in the VE game. And Trackforged I've been keeping tabs on your guys' header production for the VEs, I'm excited to see the final product when it comes around. I'll even be stopping by to get nismotronics on my car and a tune by you guys.

Welcome....now put all the original OEM shit back on it and leave it alone.....(wishful thinkin)....glad to have a new member, keep IT alive!

Thanks for the offer lynch! I'm mostly covered with Sean and the rest of my friends but if I ever need anything specific I'll be sure to get a hold of you ASAP. Hopefully Rocky will be on the road soon enough!
