Hola!

[XTrooper]

Hello! I am a friend of Rudolph's and am a moderator at LS2.Com where my amigo posts. I just registered here and wanted to say hi. Unfortunately, I don't speak/write in Spanish very well, but if I can be of any help here, I'll do my best. I have a lot of experience modding LS1 motors. I owned a 1999 Camaro SS and I now drive a 2000 Corvette. Here's a couple of pictures of it. 8)

Hi, Rudolph! I spoke to Mike @ Rapid Motorsports for you and he apologized for you missing him. He is alone at the shop and has been so busy he hasn't been answering the phone. He asked that you e-mail him.

Here's his e-mail address: mike@rapidmotorsports.com

Para el foro:

Aqui, nuestro cuate Steve, viene del foro www.LS2.com/forums, lo conozco desde hace mucho tiempo, es super buena onda, y conoce a lo barbaro de los LS1, cañon, el ya es del tipo de persona que hace analisis para generar su propio arbol de levas basandose en sus requerimentos, en pocas palabras conoce mucho de los LS1 y del mundo automotor, la onda es que no habla español, pero la verdad, yo le comente que cuando quisiera escribiera, y con gusto alguno de nosotros traduciria lo que el escribiera. Es muy buena onda, combatiente de Vietnam, por cierto, jejeje!! ya tiene sus añitos nuestro cuate, pero ojala lo podamos ayudar con la onda del español.

Gracias fbrothers :)

That would be awesome and I'd love to attend, but it won't be possible for me this year. I live in the northeastern part of the State of Pennsylvania (next to New York) and it is still winter here with lots of ice and snow. For half of the year up here, I can only walk out into my garage and look at my car. :sad2: I envy you for your nice weather in Mexico! :D

[XTrooper]

I would like to thank all of you hombres for the many great respuestes. You have really made me feel welcome! 8)

hz28: I've added a couple of pictures of my SS. :wink: I'm not sure even Rudolph has seen these!

stang_mx: I'll take you up on that bottle of tequila whenever we meet! :D

Wow, you have your rides in mint condition, congratulations.
I love those wheels, Torque ThrustII, I guess...

Maybe, you were almost a child when you went to Vietnam. I sense a" spirit of peace of mind" from you, in spite of all physical and spiritual scars you may have now. Glad you came back safe & sound. Forgive me to recall that period of your life, but at my age and my job (I'm a doctor) I am able to recognize and to appreciate the efforts and sacrifices from people like you. I just wanted you knew.
Take care

Thank you for your kind sentiments. Yes, I was just a young boy who had never been anywhere in the world. I was only 17 when I enlisted in the Marine Corps and was 18 when I arrived in Vietnam. I spent my 19th birthday there. I have had my problems over the years and in the past was diagnosed with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), but I am well now. :wink:

P.S.- Those wheels are similar to the American Racing Torque Thrusters, but they are the American Racing 200S wheels. They are sometimes called "Daisies" after the flowers of that name. I guess that's because the spokes resemble flower petals. 8)

[XTrooper]

I almost forgot to mention.........Mexican food is my all-time favorite! :D

Unfortunately, "real" Mexican food is hard to come by way up here. Fortunately, a young Mexican gentleman has recently opened a restaurant called "El Mariachi" and he cooks authentic Mexican dishes and caters to mostly to the local Mexican population. My favorite meal there is his cabra con salsa de jalapeno. Muy bueno! :D

Esos son los rines que quiero para mi carro. Los 200S

Woow!! Steve i did not know that you were a fan from Mexica food. Cool :) When i was on a student exchange at Boston, i tasted the "Mexican food" from there, and i must say it was terrible :oops: No way that "food" could be called real Mexican food.

You have a really advanced illness for fast toys, right!! Really cool SS, and yup, i have seen that Maro before, maybe those pictures no, but i had seen that Maro of yours.

BTW, Mike, already gave me a replay to some questions. He wants me to cut the pistons, but here, where i live i would not tend to do such things, there are not much people i could think of to do the task. He told that the 237/242 :shock: 113 LSA (i think lift is over .6 in) :shock: cam was asking for a piece from the pistons :D He suggested the AFR 205, with milled, but mmm! due to the 92 octane gas down here, mmm! i would seriously doubt to increase the compression, i do not want to get explosions, or have to pull some timing to get that thing running cool :? Also, he suggest me to get a real tuning from the puter, if i was gonna be equiping that stuff (i only have the Predator from James, which is cool, bu i think now is not gonna be enough), also, he suggested FAST 90 mm intake and the 90 mm tb as well (do you think that i really need to spend all that money on the intake and tb, or just stay with the LS6 intake and good ported tb?). Anyway X, i expect to get a replay from him today, and i will tell how it is going bud :)

Thanks for reading. :)

[SOULPOWER]

cool! know we are going to have a billingual forum, thats great!

the Club F-Brody Mexico is getting bigger and better, welcome xtrooper, ist good to have you around, rudolph saids that you are a master in LS1, and i can see that in the pics, amazing vette that u have, and well what can i say the ss looks great in that color (jeje i dont know why).
