I live in NY near the East end of the fish..Im over the age of 40 and have had quite a life so far although I'm not filthy rich living the high life but I'm still having fun....LOL

Im not married,,,never was and never want to be...I have no kids because I never wanted the opportunity either..

I build cars,,boats n bikes as a hobby and now I'm starting a small side hobby looking for the elusive rarity floating around in everyday pocketchange that may net a lil extra dough for helping the hobbies along...LOL

Im thinking this hobby wont cost me a whole lot of $$$ either seeings its on a 1-1 giveback on everything thats worthless...

Anyways;- Its good to be learning alot about the aspects of this gig and getting insight from members with years of experience....

Thanks for indulging my Hello,,Its great to be here .

boats? What kinda cars and bikes? Do you start from scratch or use crate engines? Do you know the firing order of a six cylinder Toyota? How is it a twin cam motor has three cams? How big is your biggest hammer?

You are sure you don't have any puppies?

Would you explain the term "east end of the fish" to this ignorant Southern fellow?

Thanks for the welcome guys....As far as the 6 cylinder and foreign car questions...I cant answer those as I'm not a professional mechanic that works on cars everyday for a living....Google might help though....LOL

What I do is try and enhance things for extra power and performance and not spend a kings ransom doing it.....

If possible I also try to add economy into the mix too and if youre thinking linear youd be scratching your head but with the use of turbo its possible to get extra power aswell as keep some economy if you stay out of the hardcore boost....

I like buying $200.00 junkers and adding minimal safety stuff aswell as lighten the bejesus out of it then take a junkyard 5.3 engine building the whole car to run mid 8 seconds in the quarter for under $4 grand using a Chinese 92mm turbo and a 250 shot of laughing gas...Then I take the car out to do a lil fishing to scrounge up enough cash to paint it then flip it for a profit and move onto the next project...

As far as boats...I have a 1990 25ft Carver Montego with 7.4 EFI engine installed....I recently added a supercharger kit with boost controller to control the timing to get the boat a lil more power to plane off and handle the huge wakes of some other boats at times....

I also have a 19ft 1999 Bayliner Capri bowrider boat I'm planning to slap a 235hp Evinrude on after I reinforce the transom........LOL

As far as bikes....I have a 1998 Harley Sportster Sport XL1200 with dual tank modification and some other performance enhancements like dynatek ignition and some engine blueprinting to enhance power,,1983 Yamaha Maxim 750cc bored out to a 900cc and chopped into a bobber style that I built over 20 years ago out of a small 6x8 shed and still running strong to date....

I also have a 1981 Yamaha 1100 Virago V twin lowrider turbo project bike going on along with two late 60's Triumph chopper bikes in pieces I'm planning to build very soon,,1983 Yamaha YZ490 MX bike I ride regularly,,2001 200 Yamaha Blaster quad with 250 bbk and upgraded ignition to blast around the yard,,couple homemade stand up scooters to zip around the neighborhood on and some oldschool manco minibikes plus Chinese pocketbikes that I took completely apart and restyled n modified them as one of a kind riders that have more than 3 times the power they ever did...I even built a twin 43cc engine stretched and lowered mini chopper because I had two and only needed one....LOL



I also used to race vintage karts from the 60's in the early to mid 80's and still have an outlaw class kart built by CRG that has an IAME 137cc methanol huffer with dual 34mm tillotson carbs that goes 133mph and still runs to date.....

I also build some crazy things like taking a 2004 Gixxer 600 motorcycle engine from a wrecked motorcycle and putting it on a racekart frame

Im also into remote control nitro vehicles and own quite a bunch..Everyone of them is modified..I have a twin 3.3 nitro engine TMAXX monster truck I built one day cause I was bored and had an extra engine sitting on the shelf doing nothing.....LOL

Ive been to Diggers Mansion in NC a number of years with lots of my nitro vehicles and for all who dont know....Diggers mansion is owned by Dennis Anderson who drives the GraveDigger monster truck....He holds an annual event on his property and its off the hook each year....LOL

I even built an all steel tube r/c buggy that weighs 37lbs and is 3ft long by 2ft wide and goes 50mph with modified 49cc engine.....

No puppies but I do have a 105lb American Rednose Pitbull...

Oh;- and the Eastend of the fish means this:

I live on Long Island and for those members that dont know Long Island is shaped like a fish that runs from West to East at its longest length......West is closer to NYC and the East End is where the famous Hamptons are but I'm not one of those snooty stuck up types.....Im more like a troublemaker peter pan.....LOL
