I'm Tyler, I'm pretty new to the automotive world in general. Here because of a recommendation from a dude I'm stationed with, named Kyle C. from Arizona, as I understand it, some of you might know him either personally or from here. Consider myself to be pretty solid science fiction nerd, enjoy playing basketball, also into math, space, technology, video games, and used to be pretty big into skateboarding. Music is a pretty big part of me, on the listeners level. I'm a pretty big metal connoisseur, but I enjoy many other forms of music as well, classical (piano & violin pieces are my preferences, but I listen to all of it), hip-hop, dubstep (NOT to include anything 'KoRn' has to do with it).

Currently am military stationed in Okinawa and just ditched my '96 auto chaser for this guy:

Was a pretty sweet deal for only $3500

Other than that, just here to learn & appreciate.

Honestly, it's my first 5-speed, and my first real sports car. So I really just plan on taking care of it the way it is and getting all of the learning out of it that I can, on and off the track. When I leave here, I'd like to part it home and do a 240 build in the US.

Marines - 7041 - Aviation Operations Specialist. Currently I run a Ground Training section for a non-deployable unit. However, I just submitted my re-enlistment/lat-move package to be a special forces operator (MARSOC CSO), so hopefully I get to that beginning of next year.
