Rotorhead from Essex saying hi.

Post by Arnie_O »

Hi there
Though it was about time I introduced myself.
My name is Aston and I am a rotorholic
I am 31 and from South Ockendon in Essex
I own a heavily Modified RX8 (bought it stock back in 2008 and modified it all myself)
My dad bought an FD a couple years back just after I started a rotary specialists shop (not going in to that here as I am not here to advertise)
Since then we bought a second FD between myself and my Dad.
And last year I finally got my hands on a gorgeous FC TurboII in Blaze Red this is running a GT35r with a street ported engine We build ourselves (it became a year long project leading to us building the engine, overhauling the engine bay and fuel system all because the Walbro pump gave out on the original motor less then 200 miles in to ownership)
Some of you may have seen this at Brooklands earlier this year where we where lucky enough to win "best of show" thanks to anyone that voted.
Anyway I seem to now have rotary in my blood so I am not on the look out for a FB as I think Retro is cool. Perticularly an Elford Turbo (yes I know good ones are rare as hens teath)

I will try to get some pictures up for those that are interested.

Looking forward to getting to know those that don't already know me from the RX8OC and MRC I know Casey and Shaunwill are on here now and then.

Then the engine bay this shot is just before we completed the install so is a little untidy.

Hi Aston

Shame that we didnt have a chat in RS11. But I had change to talk to your dad for a moment

I really like your RX-8, looks badass. And your T2 is simply stunning! th:
