Where did i go????

[wgflatliner]

I'm sure you guys didn't really wonder anything like "hey i wonder where mark went" but i figured i'd post up and let you know what i've been up to.

Lately i've been so busy going to club meetings and doing local build contests, that i kind of neglected coming on here and participating with different builds and so-on.

MOST importantly, however, is the other main reason i've been gone.

my 1:1 project car, the 91 isuzu impulse RS (stock all wheel drive, turbo, intercooled, handling by lotus) which only 800 were imported to north america/canada combined.

This weekend i wanted to just get it running and starting/idling on it's own power. I have accomplished said objective, so the first time in 5 years the engine is alive!

If y'all are interested i'll be getting video of it running as soon as my buddy uploads the videos, and share them with you.

[B_rad88]

welcome back, and cool you got it running. i love those impulse rs awd turbo cars! and yes 800 is very limited and rare, hard to find one in semi-good condish. i would love to see videos! lol

well good luck with it!

LOL Eelco, and nice Brian, i never did like them popped up, i like the closed look, and there is really no reason for them to be open either.

hey, are you a member to the storm/impulse forum? i joined there once, to get some referance pics, but i got a bunch of hatered and then called a troll cause i used to own a metro. so i left, there is a bunch of a-holes on that forum. even if i get a storm, i will not go there again. i will find another forum or make my own.

yeah i post up on the storm/pulse forum, but mostly for information on stuff. Yes, there are trolls there, and those who always want to have a political agenda about everything.. i haven't posted there very often in the last several months outside of my project thread.

as a suggestion for that forum, should you ever decide to go there:

use it only to look for information. chances are if you try to initiate conversation, you'll likely come across some arrogant people who have nothing better to do with their time.

The other option is to simply send me a message and i'll see what i can find out for you, unless i already know the answer if you still need reference photos let me know.

[wgflatliner]

here's a video of it starting:

and idling!

[Railfreak78]

I love to see that people are willing to dig in and make it better! Being my Bronco looks like your torn apart pictures (Minus the cool mods you have) I love to see people restore or make a car better! I love when someone does a "Throw away car" They have no clue what they are missing
