Re: Hi, I'm "new" Heres my car
haha wow what a quick and warm welcome. I've been signed up for a year or so but I'm getting sponsored by Moore automotive and they encourage me to post. I figure VA Driven is a good place for that.
If you see me anywhere say hi! My names yoshi. Altho many of you might already know me...

Re: Hi, I'm "new" Heres my car
Been sponsored for a while. They've been doing my dyno tuning for about 2 years now. I think they are doing the advert thing on here so I figured I'd hop on and do my duty.
your welder works wonders BTW. Tons better than that flux crap I used to have. I still suck at welding but I can join 2 pieces and it won't leak. Won't look good... but won't leak.
