Alonso Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Hello everyone After using your forum for a very long time, i decided to support and join the community. I prefer the old school community forums way more than modern Facebook/WhatsApp groups and chats. My name is Michael, 39 years old and located in Berne, Switzerland.I have a degree in electronics, but working as a data scientist today. I like to to some "hands on" work an my cars or my hose when i'm away from the office. Since my childhood, i was fascinated from pop-up headlights. As result, my first personal car was a T18 Celica in 1999. After some other cars, i bought a pair of MK3's Supras in 2006 and got integrated into our local Supra community real quick. After some other MK3's, i take advantage of the opportunity to buy a MK4 from a friend in 2013. (This was a major point on my personal bucket list ) I'm still in love with this car - and i still have a MK3 from previous days. The MK4 is a (German) EU-Spec LHD TT Targa in 199 silver, and looks like this: Back in 2014, i had a very bad start into the supra season. A bloody metallic object from a unknown source went into my 6th cylinder and has damaged the engine after after driving for the first 3 days in that year: After the first days of frustration, i decided to rebuild the engine from scratch. I bought a "cheap" brand new shortblock, did fully rebuild the head, replaced tons of parts/gaskets and got finally ready beginning of 2016: Mod list: Work XD9 wheels K-Sport suspension EBC brake disks and pads Fully custom exhaust (street legal) BPU'd Zeitronix Wideband/EGT/Boost/Oitemp monitoring Full dash LED conversation Activle spoiler with modified ecu for manual operation HKS SSQV HKS hardpipe kit for SMIC (painted in black) Focal hifi system with pioneer double din headunit Various facelift parts Torque converter with 3200 stall Plans for this winter: Brake rebuild Facelift headlights Adding a modified OEM subwoofer Upgrading the tranny cooler Refurbishing various small parts Here we go - happy to be part of this community And sorry for my english skills - my mother-tongue is Swiss-german Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
