Hey all, I'm a lifetime Columbus resident and car lover. I'm active on ColumbusRacing as well, but I thought I'd check out things here too.
I autocross, drag at the strip on drag days, and will probably start going to Mid-Ohio or Nelson Ledges here in the next year or two to race competitively.
I have a 1984 Mazda RX-7, which was my first 'Real' car, buying it for $2000 from the original owner, which is in near mint condition. I have a lot of sentimental value for it and have no plans to get rid of it. It has been my favorite car I've ever driven. It's slow, but handles great.
I've done only 3 mods to the car, four if you count a K&N drop-in filter. Blaster 2 Coils (which have increased mpg by about 2-3), a Racing Beat test pipe, and a Racing Beat front Sway Bar.
I also just picked up a new DD, a 1991 Galant VR-4. It needs TLC, but it's fun to drive and pretty quick (although running 15psi daily kind of worries me about reliability) but it's 12xx/2000 for 1991. I don't know too much about it yet, as I haven't gone through it too thoroughly, but it starts, drives, stops and gets decent mileage.
This is one of the few pictures I have so far of it, taken by the previous owner, but the grille is back on and it's been washed.
I've also owned a few other cars, 96 Accord (HS car, wrecked-not at fault), 1985 RX-7 S, 1985 Dodge Omni GLH-T, 1986 Mitsubishi Starion.
