Other info: Zilvia was the first forum I posted on under the SN future240, I joined in 07 and didnt start posting to 08. I became a premium member sometime later after I grew addicted to the site. Since then I have spent my time trying to make it to mod (highly unsuccessful)and to try to make Zilva better place by being helpful when I can, and getting more traffic to come there. (especially to the Z side). I am going to bring that same thought process and attitude to this site.

Glad to meet you all, been ridiculously excited about this car since i first heard about it, sniffing out every tid bit of info i could find and am very glad to hear it now has a dedicated forum.

it almost makes me want to leave academia and get a job for a few years just so i can buy one. the toyota track version is probably the only car i would consider trading in teh GC for. also like the news on the next gen 1 series...

[Doom]

Name: Sam

Age: 21

Location: Saskatchewan, Canada

What I drive: 1991 Supra Twin Turbo R (working on single turbo conversion)

Occupation: work in a grocery store...

Education: High school...yes! Will be going to school for dental hygiene, or maybe computer science if I can figure out a field.

Other interests: Spending all of my money on worldly nonsense like turbos and sweet TVs, hot cashiers, automobiles, Gran Turismo, Sega Dreamcast...

Something different: I'd rather not think about were I'll be in 10 years. Probably still driving around in a 1991 Supra and eating Froot Loops at 3 in the morning while watching Ren & Stimpy.

Other info: I tried to tune my engine myself. I went a bit too lean. Then I melted some pistons. I was filled with shame and self pity. Then I bought thousands of dollars of shit like forged pistons, a turbo kit, a rebuild kit. Now I'm much happier (and poor).
