That Conquest is pure sex!
 
Thanks. We are restoring at as i type bushing, new turbo, new sturst, new paint, some small rust, and some frame rot, but not bad for a car that has been in the north since 89. I am the 2nd owner and the first is a good friend of mine.
 
I drove a 1997 Ford Probe GT for 11 years prior to purchasing my Speed 3 in Feb. 08. It was a fun car to drive but needed more power. I had CAI, Test pipe, straight thru muffler and light weight RX-7 FD rims. I also did a rear seat delete to lighten the car. It was quick, but nothing like the Speed 3

Here's some of my past drives:

This is me in my 1992 Miata:

In two different ITR's (I know, Boooo Honda!):

Then there was this very embarrassing, but very necessary 1989 Nissan "support truck" (still have it):
pastride003a.jpg



Even more embarrassing was this 1995 Eclipse from my ricier days:
pastride003b.jpg



Autocrossing wasn't fast enough, so I got into bikes:

My most recent past ride, a 2002 Jeep Liberty which I traded for the Speed3:

- 1978 Dodge Diplomat
- 1986 Toyota Corolla FX16 GT-S
- 1981 Honda Accord
- 1976 Yamaha XS650
- 1986 Cadillac Sedan DeVille

I think most of us went thru the "Ricer" phase so don't be so hard on yourself.
 
Toyota Tacoma TRD/4WD/V6, to be sold soon. Great truck, but hardly any time to take it to its natural habitat (offroad) anymore, and 90% of my driving now is commuting. Coming from years driving pickups, the MS3 is a "holy F**K" experience every time.

98 gsxr

94 stealth twin turbo -bc,dp tbe,intake (Fast and fun when running right but quite a money pit)
