I started to see the program, I have to say: Nice tunning on the cars!

I used to owned some of the best America Muscle cars: 1986 Grand National, 1990 GM1500 454 SS, 1984 Corvette but I just switch to Imports; a 2003 Mitsubishi EVO.
With a wife, two kids( one going soon to college), there’s no money left for modifications.
I already added some mods to the car but I could use a little help if you are willing to travel to the lovely island of Puerto Rico!

Been seein’ the great work done on these cars. Wish I had the time and money to do half of what they can do. Seems that all I do is work. Just got divorced about 18 months ago and it ain’t easy gettin’ back into the dating scene after 25 yrs. when your ride ain’t cool. I WAS a muscle car guy back in the day. Owned a ’69 Camaro (that I took to the drags) until I got married. The wife didn’t think I needed a hotrod now that I was married. Oh, the money it would be worth today. My nieces new husband had a 91 3000GT that needed a new motor, so I bought it for a grand. I drive it everyday to work, but since it’s all I got I can’t put down to do the NICE things to it to make it HOT. The things I’ve seen Ty do with these other cars would be fantastic. And mine’s not in as bad a shape as that Supra was. The only pic I have is on my Myspace page at-http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=72317559

I see the show every single time I can
Well my previous background has been bad luck. Seriously bad luck, my first car was a 96 Jetta Trek. I was hit by a hit and run driver and my insurance did not cover it. I was left without a car my dad let me used his Tacoma to go to college but again I was hit I went to court and was found not guilty but unfortunately the insurance did not cover because I did not live with my parents who were in LA and it was under their name. Parents sold the truck and moved to Texas. I had to
manage my money in college luckly saved the money to buy the Intregra I have Know
It’s my first year at UCD. Recently moved to Davis to attend UCDavis from LA county. When I first bought it, it was my dream car. Started with few mods DC headers, Intake but then problems came.The money for potential new MODS went into fixing the car motor brackets, clutch problems, axles, and now need to replace the headers for they are braking and also a dent made by a man in a bike(yup a bike its a city of Davis thing) I work part time, full time student, part of organization that was recognized by the dean of the school, and tutor middle school students. I like volunteering and I don’t like asking my parents for money first of all they don’t have money they sold their house in LA to move to Texas to help pay for my expensives in college. So I cant really ask them to at least help me fix my cars problems not the least the dents on the car (RRRrrr I should of force the biker guy to fix my dent)I would really want my car to be on the show and have my dream car become reality. This might sound corny but I gave it a shot. ***PS My Car deserves a better owner ;p jaja

Ok let me get started by saying i sold my 92 Honda Civic turbo hatchback to buy a 94 Rx7 Twin turbo…..well who wouldnt pick the sexy 7 over a civic. Anyways I drove 250 miles to get this thing. When i get there the car was covered in dust but fired up and sounded nice. So I said to myself well looks like a great project. boiiiii was I in for some suprises.
So paid cash and drove it home…..well almost had to stop at the gas station about 50 times. Could not keep it from over heating. So finally i get it home and take it out the next morning and she blows up. Well now im furious but I knew there would be NO way I would find a deal like this again. The Autotrader ad did say freshly rebuilt new seals, runs great. Lies, Lies, Lies…blah, blah, blah….
Ok so now i have had the car 3 years (driven only one day ) and still sitting in the garage. I work full time as a A/C installer here in Lake Havasu’s Death heat of 120 degrees. I get paid pretty good but along with a mortgage payment, bills, and my wife going to school full time I have no time or money to complete my dream. Im hoping I can cast my FD3s Rx7 on FINE TUNED ASAP, “Besides who wants to work on their ride in a 130 degree garage”
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
Chris and Angela

I saw the video – that car is sick and I hate red normally.

I also saw on the FineTuned Group that you have a chance to be on the show – that would be sick. Too bad I got a 350z,…who knows maybe they will do two of them. Either way I want to see what they do and get some ideas – looks like they got some serious builders on this show.
