Hello Everybody!!!

i own a SW20 5S. right now i am in the process of purchasing a newer car (prob a Corolla) so i can park the Deuce and proceed to tear her down.
i am planning on making her a track car. prob set up for road racing. i want to strip everything off of her, throw her on a rotisserie, and start all over from the frame/body up!

i am a UTI grad and currently earning my AS in Welding at COC (i live in the SCV), so i am planning on taking this project on myself. i want to fab my own custom intake and exhaust system (yes including the header!), i want to learn how to work with composites and make my own carbon fiber parts.
i am planning on stroking out a 3S and turboing this baby. i like what Smokey did w/ his 3S Supra and will prob mimick what he did a bit.
anyways, as you can plainly see i am not f*cking around. i am really serious here....

and i am very excited to become apart of the MR2 community, and am seeking advice and guidance from just about anyone willing to give it.

Thanks all for reading!

how did you like UTi? alot of people I know loved it, and some said it was a waste to get a paper for stuff they already know, but the experience was fantastic.

oh yeah UTI is a scam they went corporate w/in the last 10 years and according to the old skool teachers i spoke w/ everything changed after that. all they care about is creating "techs" to shuffle into the industry and most of the education we rec'd was via powerpoint presentations. Lame!
But i did learn a lot of technical things there, like how to degree a cam, etc that i may not have learned elsewhere, or at least until way later.
As a female it was an excellent learning experience, it toughened me up bigtime and prepared me for the industry as it really is.
The other good thing was i ended up as a Tire Specialist for a pit crew that raced Super Lates at Irwindale thru that school, so that was a BIG plus!!!!
too bad the team got dissolved, but that's how i found welding and metal fab, so it all worked out for a reason i guess.....
