Hello Hello

Hey everyone,

Name is Kyle. I am from southern Indiana. I recently purchased a 2016 Tacoma TRD Off-road. It's quicksand in color. I have done a few little touches here and there. TRD Pro grill and had the rear chrome bumper color matched after I was rear ended back in December. I daily drive this truck and have taken it on a few trips so far. Great truck overall and I love it. I opted for a 6 speed manual because I was afraid I would regret switching to an auto after driving a stick for so long. So far I have not been disappointed. I am currently looking into a set of wheels for the tacoma at the moment. I have been trying to decide if a set of grey pro comp 40 series will look good on it. Haven't pulled the trigger yet.

I love riding motorcycles and dirt bikes. It's one of my favorites hobbies. I mainly use the Tacoma to haul bikes and what not. That was the main reason I moved from a Honda Civic to a Tacoma. I own 3 motorcycles. 2004 Buell XB12S, 2015 Honda Grom, and a KTM 200 xc-w. The Buell is pretty much as stock as it gets. The grom is currently being moved to a 180cc BBK. Tons of mods are being installed on that as we speak. The KTM has been modified for trail riding and I try to ride it as much as possible. A few buddies and I have also decided to do a trip down a portion of the Trans American Trail on enduros in the next year or two. I am also currently restoring an old 85 Honda ATC 70

I am also a car enthusiast. I have owned a 1986 300ZX turbo for around 10 years now. It has been a project, but haven't had much motivation to make any significant progress on it lately, though it did put down 400hp on the dyno a few summers back. I also am in the process of converting a Miata into a go kart, though with the cold weather, it's been on hold.

Also, I play bass in a band. We try to be as loud as possible. I am also a computer programmer at an engineering firm. It is an interesting profession.

Sorry for some of the terrible photos. My phone fell off my girlfriend's car driving down the highway on our way back from purchasing her motorcycle this year.

Thanks!

 

Nice rides man! welcome!!

 

Welcome to TW!

 

Thanks everyone! Glad to be here!

 

Where are the pictures of the Z?!

 

Well it's been sitting covered in dust for almost a year now. I will dig some up soon.

 

D:<

sounds like she needs to go out for a rip

 

Well I ran into some issues with it a while back regarding fuel rails. My stock rails weren't capable of withstanding the pressure from the higher pressure pump. I had some custom rails made, and just need to get my head in the game and get out there and fix it up. Thing has forged rods and forged pistons at 9:1 compression. Big ol Garrett GT35 turbo and a bunch of other crap I forget I put on it lol.

 

I imagine with the right supporting mods, heads, ported intake, tune, and whatever it could easily put down 600. Of course it would spin bearings if I pushed it too hard. I sure do miss driving that car lol.

 

Maybe i'll have to keep at you to get back at it

 

Welcome!

 

Congrats and welcome!
