New member! MODS FINALLY APPROVED :p
« on: October 09, 2013, 07:05:10 PM »
New to the KPF, have had my redline for coming up on two years now. its a love hate relationship with her, as in i love to hate her but hate to love her. was never really a fan of GM products, and owning this car honestly has further lowered my opinion about GM, but, driving this car is FANTASTIC. i LOVE bare bone sports cars, and the redline fits that category. and its just so sexy....


anyways, my name is Mark, im 23 years old and live in Houston Texas. Currently i am a service advisor for Kia/Suzuki (please dont ask. fml.) and have spent 3 years working as a certified porsche technician. I grew up in motorsports, racing motocross, and since have grown up into AutoX, circuit driving, drifting and road racing cars and bikes.

I was founder of DipTex, a local houston plastidip shop, but since then have left that business due to crappy business partners. i am still dipping in my free time, and although i DONT WANT TO SELL YOU A DIP JOB, if youre interested PM me for pricing or help if you need it! I am currently a member of SkyRoadster and have become the "plastidip guy" over there, so maybe youve seen some of my posts. IDK.

So, in conclusion, im young and full of energy and passionate about abusing/maintaining my sky. I am already pleased with this forum after glancing through, much more so than the other. looking forward to conversating with you all.

Happy Kappa-ing!

Nice looking car, If you plan on moding it you have come to the right place.  But I must warn you it is a slippery slope.  Welcome aboard

Can you post pics of your roll bar?  I am interested in seeing your attachment points and how it looks and functions

Thanks!

Its been measured, waiting on piping and time. My buddy doing it actually builds bagged trucks and custom frames, so yes pretty busy. BUT my birthday is around the corner and I know my gf is up to no good :)

The sky was my first rwd, but I'm a big VW fan at heart...ironic how I hate cars that break..last car was a 91 jetta VR6.

I will post up more pics tomorrow, I have a ton from all the times I've changed out with plastidip. Maybe you've seen it, maybe you haven't!

Thanks for the welcomes!

PS...the roll bar is completely, undoubtebly going to suck. Running forward down bars (bolt in) and tying it into the rear cowl. My cubby holder and cipholder will no longer be there (if cut to fit) and my and my fat ass has to get seats and a quick release to slide in lol. Also, I'm like 5'8'' so if your bigger than 5'10''...unless ypi have short legs good luck

lol the girl. shes a good friend of mine, her bf is one of the local drift guys here in houston. and no, he didnt mind her sitting on my hood. actually theres a whole photoshoot we did for my old shop...check out Advent Works Photography on Facebook, and Kendra Messer is the model. she has a fan page, go check her out. shes a trip and a hustler, she has her fingers dipped in all kinds of stuff.

the car is really black, ill see if i cant find some stock pictures lol. and hte paint is still beautiful!

and yes, i know my fender is demolished. small animals still damage things. as do alignment racks :x too cheap to buy a new one that will prolly also be grenaded sometime soon
