New to town - Steven's first post
Hi all,
33 y/o who began autocrossing a few years back, down in Austin. Car needed a new throw-out bearing and exhaust. Did the work myself ... haven't raced since. I moved to Fort Worth a few months ago, and now that I am settled, I would like to get myself and my car back up to speed (I'm pretty slow, but I have fun). Can't wait to make some friends.
Tidbits about the car:
94' R-package, red, few mods, and many cosmetic flaws
Fat Cat single adjustable shocks, and goodwin cat back exhaust
It runs! It shifts! But it recently developed a loud noise under throttle and sometimes it loses power (exhaust leak? vacuum?). It has several small oil leaks. I've quit driving it until I can find the time and space to diagnose the problem (no garage) ... and until I learn to diagnose the problem. I'm hoping this forum can help, and steer me in the direction of a mechanic who works on track cars (I'll be posting that inquiry in the appropriate section of the forum).
More about me:
Self employed, plays billiards and soccer regularly
Nice to meet you all,
Steven
