This seems a good a place as any to introduce myself.

My name's Kyle, and I've wanted a WRX since I was 12. Made that dream come true recently.

In the down time between then and now, I rode my bike a lot, worked at an ice cream shop for a long time, got a journalism degree at San Jose State, and now put those sharp reporting skills to good use at a local bank.

I dabble with electronic music, and in particular building my own gear. As well as many of you know cars and their innards, I know the guts of electronic music instruments. In time I hope to match that pace with auto know how, though as is I've some experience, as my brother does the 24 Hours of LeMons race. Getting crap cans to run is an achievement in itself.

Cheers and high hopes to meeting some cool people around here.

 

Congratz Kyle!

Seems like your hardwork has paid off.

You should go to the Wednesday Night meets in Fremont!

 

Nuts to the Wednesday night meets, get your *** to BAM this Sunday!

Edit: Also, welcome to the club!

 

Thank you! Hard work, dumb luck, dumb work, hard luck, something like that. I got a cool car now at any rate

Where are the Weds meets? Pacific Commons (as a guess) or elsewhere?

 

Glad to be here!

Ima looky up this BAM talk now, and hope to be in attendance. Might even find someone there with the headlights I'm looking for...?

 

Since you put your location as fremont I thought this might be an option

Bout a mile away from there. I'll check it out tomorrow

PS. you DID miss a hell of a BAM

 

Friend had a race of her own I promised to watch well in advance of even being aware of BAM. Next time though!

I'm thinking about maybe going to Subiefest down in Pomona. Worth the drive?

im going down to pomona along with others. take some time to look around the threads. youll find lots of interesting info. wed night VJJ, Subiefest, BAM monthly, are all official threads and worth checkin out! goodluck and see u at some meets!

 

Aw crap. On the way home from work I started to smell some burning oil. The dipstick showed a bit low, added a quart. Then I caught whiff of a burning plastic smell, and possibly an untoward rubbing sound from the engine. I had been planning prior to get the shifter looked at Thursday (occasionally difficult to move the shifter into first, gears sometimes grind briefly as shifter is moved into a new gear, even before clutch is released). Now I'm gonna get a more thorough check now.

Expect me to show up Wednesday still, but probably without my car
