I also have to agree with OLT. I knew nothing about this SC when I first picked it up over five years ago. I was searching and found this site. I couldnt see some of the pictures, so I joined, been hooked ever since. This community has led me to meet several quality people through the years and many repairs and fixes. I felt compelled to do the swap since 17 and 18 year old kids were doing it. The bottom line is that this website is ran by many volunteer moderators and quality posts from all the SC owners out there. Lets keep this section clean, simple, and back to the basics..... Post quality items and information and of course, many, many, pictures!!!

 

Well said O.L.T. People like you were what helped inspire me to get this car in the first place. I lurked on this forum for a wihle before i even decided to buy one!

 

Well said.

 

This is a really great read i printed off 2 copy's of it to post on the wall in my garage by my 1st sc that is on race car status now. I own 2 sc's both org 5 spds and could not agree more with this entire post, no matter how many times i had ecu issue's on the race car, or how many motors my stock ecu ate in my daily it was always ok because the cars were worth the sleepless nights and all the bloody knuckles and such. Every thing in that post was spot on shure the clusters act screwy and the climate controls rarely are 100%, and you get excited when you see a butterfly cup holder still in all it glory, these cars are what they are and not only do we make them what they are, they make us who we are...

 

awesome post.

 

I feel like just attended Sunday (S)Church! Great Post!

 

Spoken for truth...owned 4 sc's since 06. Ran into first probs and joined on 07. This site has helped me when mechanics couldn't or said it was impossible. Back when you "couldn't" make a turbo 1uz or 5speed swap. But olt is correct about making you an enthusiast...

 

This brought a tear to my eye. Beautifully said.

 

Thank you for the motivation to continue on doing what we do.

 

Very well put, and a great inspiring read!

Any time I get discouraged with my SC I'll just hop back on here and feel refreshed about it again. Thank you.

 

Very well put together OLT..... I came close to tearing up at work reading this..... Alot of members have inspired me to make my SC into something beautiful and something I can be proud of.

 

Very nicely put, OLT. I bought my car just under a year ago and with the help of this forum I have made several upgrades and repairs that I didn't have to do trial-and-error with. My last "enthusiast car" was the 1989 Camaro I bought new and sold last year. Over the 20+ years I owned it I spent over $50k on it and modified it so much that it constantly needed some kind of attention. The appeal of the SC was it's uniqueness and durability, I don't have to constantly do something to keep it running even at 270k miles.Being part of the community means that when I come up with something unique that improves the car's functionality or durability I will always post up details and results, I've got a couple of things in the works right now!

 

Hell yeah OLT. This gave me a huge smile and tons of memories from the years on this forum.

 

yeah dont think that will happen any time soon

 

WOW!!!!!!!!!!...................
