Hello forum.
My name's Merrill. I am originally from Brooksville, but left there for the Navy over 5 years ago. Currently I live in VA Beach, but always think abotu the great place to grow up that the Bay Area was. My family is still in the B'ville/Brandon/Dade City area...I can pretty much visit someone on every exit of 75 from B'ville on down, lol. There may or not be some people on here that I grew up with, who knows. They'll know me...not too many Merrill's in the world...lucky for the world...:cool:

Anyway, a little more about me that IS relevant to the forum. I had an Accord that pretty much ruined my life for about 3 years thanks to an excessive amount of money poured into it with absolutely ZERO satisfaction...:mad:

I recently got ahold of a MKIV Supra that had just shed off it's tiny twins for a slightly larger single. As far as Supra singles go, mine is one of the smallest, but I enjoy it and will spool nice and quick until I get bored with the numbers and get a larger one...probably not anytime soon, though. I am just now getting everything to work right, all the pressure lines were wrong, things capped that should have been re-routed, etc...in adddition to frying the AFC that was in it and blowing the end caps right off the stock intercooler. So things have been interesting, but it's a lot of fun, and a HELLUVA lot more rewarding than the Honda. :D

I am a veteran to forums, so I can't pawn off any dumb posts to being a noob. ;) The reason I decided to make an account and post here is that ironically I found a great thread concerning the tuning of the ProfecB SpecII that I just installed and am trying to figure out, so when a search engine pointed this way, I had to say hello.

Anyone who may know me, shout-out, anyone who wants to flame, flame away, anyone who wants to race...well...I'll be there on vacation for New Year's...set it up! ;)

BTW, one question I would like answered...is the Brandon track still open? After I got everything all tuned and happy, our track closed and I couldn't try for my first slip in the Supra. Would love to meet up there and see what she can do. Thanks!

Welcome to the forum. So, are you actually happy up there in the land of unpleasant winter? Florida didn't really get cold until yesterday... ;)

:wave: Welcome to TR. Check your settings in the USER CP, there should be one that will automatically subscribe you when you post. There is also the option to "recieve an email whenever someone responds" when you are replying to the thread.

Billy: No such option in there, although I know exactly what you are talking about. I do have it so it sends e-mail notifications, but I never recieved one yet, including a standard "Welcome to the forum" that every forum I have ever been a part of has had. Maybe I got my e-mail wrong. :dunno:

Jordan Y.: Ehhh...if it wasn't for the damn wind, this place wouldn't be so bad. I'm abtou to head up to NoVa (northern VA) in March a little more inland. Should be a bit nicer. Cold I can handle, windchill pisses me off! My FMIC adores this cold and my tires don't...it's a shitty trade-off, lol.

So when do you graduate? I'll be going there as instructor in April. (Display obviously). Yeah, it is pretty cold, but I can't wait to get back there. You have no idea how awesome that place is compared to being on a ship! :D

Thanks for the welcoming, Matt. Already I have found one friend from growing up, so this is ending up pretty damn fun. :D I been too busy to really whore up the place though. :nerd:

Cool. Just look for a black MKIV with a FMIC around April! I guess I'm looking for an 85 Monte SS? I'll be up there before that though to get my house ready, so maybe I'll see you then. :dunno:

That's hilarious. I actually just met up with Eric (Ultraprince) and bought a new targa for my MKIV, since I kinda forgot to latch my old one down a couple weeks ago...oops...anyway, I know the Ultraspeed boys...and if you talk to any of them, they will tell you that they hate the Wangan boys...we actually have had some issues. Eric, me, and my boy here have had it OUT on Drag on more than one occasion. All e-thuggin' fun, but we had a night specifically to wage war between the two teams on the streets....your boys didn't show! ;)

All in all a big and decent team...but there's just too much rice representing there for me. :D
