New (but car-less)

[gsx-lex]

Gentlemen,
Even though I don't own an Evo anymore, it bring s tear to my eye to finally see an Evo forum that doesn't suck. Signing up to contribute as much as I can.

Love,
-Lex

[Public Enema]

Glad to have you. Welcome.

Welcome aboard. We look forward to having you around.

Heh heh, just kidding, Alex. Glad you're still interested in Evos after getting rid of her. Can't wait to see the next project you're talking about.

[ToddBridges]

Welcome, Alex.

Hope you enjoy the board.

[gsx-lex]

Thanks all.

I want one so bad, but it's hard to pick up a project when you don't have space to work on one. I need to get a garage.

[Erik@JNZTuning]

You and me both brutha. I hate having my cars outside in an apartment complex parking lot every day of their lives. :(

[11secDSM]

I miss seeing you in a DSM or Evo. We need to get you back in one soon.

[PharaOh]

Hey Lex, did you used to have a mad clean red 2g?

[11secDSM]

That's him!

[PharaOh]

Gawd! I loved that car when I had my dsm...whatever happened to it...sold I assume to buy an evo that is no longer owned either?

[Erik@JNZTuning]

I heart lesbians was the pinnacle.

[Joe@JNZFinishing]

I heart lesbians was the pinnacle.

Ahhh, good times :D

[gsx-lex]

Hey Lex, did you used to have a mad clean red 2g?

Yup, that's me. Here she is:This car was my DSM passion. It gave me a chance to meet wonderful people and make amazing friends.

I also had a black 92 6/4, but it was a rebound purchase, I fix her up for the most part, but After the Red one was stolen, I had a bitter taste for cars in general.

Having worked at a dyno shop and getting deeper and deeper into FMS, I decided that the future in FMS business would be with Evo, so I got one.

http://ziptiebandit.com/ztb//galleries/autox/0607/rg14.jpg



The first thing I noticed is that I HATED the Evo community. Most Evo owners were snoby rich kids many of who had no idea what DSMs were. That whole community was brainwashed by the propaganda of big shops. It was not for me. On top of that, I had a really big scare, while tuning a clients car, that made me rethink the idea of riding shotgun(road tuning) in a 700 whp RWD car, with a driver who's had their license for less than 2 years. I disappeared from tuning in general. The Evo did however rekindle my passion for racing. I got more involved with racing that involves turning.

Now, I have a new project (If all goes well on Saturday ;)), which is a different but familiar platform for me.


I heart lesbians was the pinnacle.

I wish they had stolen her, one week later. I had just finished dialing in JMF's SMIM (adjustable runners) on the dyno with really good results. I would have broken into the 11's at ECSO for sure!

[PharaOh]

That sucks to hear that she was stolen. I remember her from dsmtuners when I had my dsm's and I am not a fan of red at all, but your car gave me a chub everytime I looked at it. lol Cant wait to see and hear about your next and future projects.

[Mysterio]

what did you 1g have done to it, it looks super clean.

[DSSA]

Glad to see you here, Alex!

[gsx-lex]

what did you 1g have done to it, it looks super clean.

Not much, it was a rushed project. I only put maybe 100 miles in it. It spent alot of time in my garage. It was definitely a looker.

[gsx-lex]

Glad to see you here, Alex!

Awesome to see so many familiar faces. I gotta come up and see you sometime.

[Erik@JNZTuning]

You had that 1G for such a short time that I actually had forgotten all about it until now.

[PC Talon]

Me too, I think the red car will be forever associated with Alex, even when he is an old man.

[gsx-lex]

I agree with you guys, which is why the next one has to be bigger and badder then the first. If Erik can move on, so can I.

[gsx-lex]

Speaking of next........

Haven't seen you in awhile Alex. Glad to see your still around, it would be a shame for the community to lose you. Looking forward to your new project, it definitely won't bring as much attention as the evo.
Wish you were still tuning cars on a good basis. I'm going to need both my cars tuned this summer.

[gsx-lex]

I'm not at PDW anymore (obviously), but I'm still around ;). Hopefully, the GVR4 can keep my interest in this industry.

[PharaOh]

belize green ftw!

What number is she?

[ITS A 7]

Yea its sad PDW closed. It was nice having a somewhat local chill awd dynojet with great people around. I'll keep an eye out for you i know you end up coming to at least one of the local meets this year.
When you going to update us with gvr4 info? :)

[Erik@JNZTuning]

Is it Kensington Grey or Belize Green?

[gsx-lex]

She is number 796/1000 and is Belize Green. She has no modifications and has been garaged kept for most of her life. It was defiantly a rare find. The guy who I bought it from didn't take very good pictures of the, or else it would have definitely have sold before I got her. She does need a new transfer case, but I think I already located one.

She's going to look stock but I plan on modding her with an autox/track influence.

Thanks guys.

[wricksta]

Very nice gallant!!! Congrats.

[PC Talon]

Alex back in the game, better be bringing it up to Philadelphia soon!

[gsx-lex]

It'll get up for your club's hooters meet .
