'''My story:''' 

The obsession all started before I was 13. My parents were in the market for a new car. The Stealth lost out to a Supercharged Thunderbird mainly due to rear seat space. 6 months later, and a 15' posi burnout in reverse in the driveway by my ma, the Thunderbird was sold. I guess I never recovered from them skipping over the Stealth. As soon as I had the means, and enough driving & mechanical experience for the car, I bought a 92 ES. It always treated me well. Fast forward 4 years.. I sold the CBR600F4 that I had and started looking for TT Stealths. My first purchase looked like a clean deal from Las Vegas. 70k Miles, Everything appeared stock.

I picked it up in Chicago. Right away the tailights didn't work & the drivers side trim was falling off. 5 miles into the ride home, I lose all gears but 3rd. 10 more miles and I lose the A/C. No prob, it was only 80 degrees and humid that day. So I ended up driving the 150 miles home in 3rd gear with no A/C. Nice!!! {sarcastic if you didn't notice.}

That winter I couldn't give the car away so I started to buy parts. Lots and lots of parts.

I've learned a ton while rebuilding/restoring this car. This forum has been priceless. I've spent $0 on labor so far. I've bought well over 7k in parts. I think that is fairly impressive.

This winter the only thing I haven't touched will be pulled. The engine & turbos. That will lead to larger turbos and more electronics. Wish me luck!!!

 While at the Daytona Turkey Run back in Nov. '07, my wife spots a Stealth R/T for sale on a trailer, long story short, I get the car for her to autocross in and as a fun summer car to drive, hence my screen name of Buckeye Stealth.  Although is is a really nice ''automatic'' R/T, I thought I would like one of my own and a stick shift was mandatory, so the search began.
-<BR><BR>Looking at car for sale websites and various 3S forums led me to an ad on 3SI.org that linked me to ebay and I found the car of my dreams, a '96 VR4 that was modded to a very high level.  On my birthday, Dec. 15th, I found myself in St Louis picking up that car and heading back to Ohio. Although I can't take credit for putting the car together, the former owner for his list of things to do and Von Morgan (xwire) for carring them out get the credit where credit is due, but I am already formulating my own list of little subtle things I want done and will do myself to put my own touches in place.  My plans are to keep the car pretty much just like I got it because I like what was done and most of the things about the car I would have wanted to do myself.

 <BR>
-<BR>Not being one to hold back, I decided to jump into the 3S community by joining all the forums I could find to get info on the cars we just acquired... a little bit of time had to be made up. We decided another great way to learn about the community was to attend the NG08, so I signed up for the whole package to get the best out of the experience.  I'm so looking forward to learning about the VR4's track handling at driver's school and then using that knowledge to tear up the road course.  I have over 30 years of drag racing under my belt and 4 years and 50 events at autocrossing to help at a run for best overall 3S at the NG08.
+On my birthday, Dec. 15th, 2007, I found myself in St Louis picking up the car of my dreams and heading back to Ohio. TWC (The White Car, as I refer to it) is a work of art by the 3S artist, Von Morgan (xwire) that was commissioned by the former owner, Matt S.  My plans are to keep the car pretty much just like I got it because I like what was done and most of the things about the car I would have wanted to do myself.  There is a short list of things to do, such as the matching Cianci wide body rear fenders, battery relocation to the trunk and LED accent lighting, but after that I'm pretty much satisified with the complete package.   ...well... I was thinking about a pair of 19Ts...  and maybe beefing up the trans... and then.... nevermind.
 <BR><BR>
+My first experience with TWC was the NG08.  I bought the car in the middle of winter and it got out of storage and tuned just in time to load up and head out to Memphis.  What a blast we had meeting all the people and what a collection of cars there was on Bealle Street.  My baby got wounded during the road course day and it was only local crusing the rest of '08 and all of this summer.  I just took delivery of another 6 speed trans to pop in and get her ready for next summer and the Indy gathering... we can hardly wait.
+<BR><BR>
+Why TWC?  It is a simple way to communicate to my wife which car I'm refering to.  The White Car is the VR4, The Blue Car is my ION Red Line, The Red Car is my wife's Sunfire GT, TORC is the '92 Stealth R/T (The OTHER Red Car), The Silver Car is the T-Bird Turbo Coupe (sold 11/09) and the Van... well it's just The Van.  We just started refering to the vehicles by their color and it has become habit.
