Hey all, mighty nice forum you have here. Thought I would stop in and tell you all a little about myself. My name is Jason and I am a helicopter mechanic in the Rogue valley of southern Oregon. I have been married for 12 years and have 3 great kids. I recently adopted my wife's car for my daily driver. Its a '94 LX with a 5 spd. She wanted to start driving her Bronco again and my '83 Prelude was kicking the bucket. I told her as long as I could fix it up a bit I would be fine with that. Some wheelin and dealin on craigslist scored me some Motegi Racing rims and some 125/45/17 toyo's for around $300. That made a huge difference in looks. I next want to improve the stereo and take care of some various maintenance. Hopefully I will find the answers I need to do some work on it here in the forums. Lucky for me, the previous owner meticulousely maintained it. I just got it smogged last week and the guy said most new carsdon'tpass as well as this car did. Thanks for listening, and here's a couple pics

 

Welcome to the forum!
Nice 5th gen and a great deal on the wheels!

Plan to do more mods?

 

Welcome to the site. Helicopter mechanic huh? Sounds very interesteing. I have always wanted to ride in a helicopter just not HAVE to ride in one if you know what I mean.

 

Thanks! Yea I will probably do some more mods as time and $ allows. I want to get an amp and some new speakers, tint the windows, then maybe work on the intake and exhaust. Nothing to crazy though.

 

Thanks! The company I work for is a manufacturer of heavy lift helicopters, mostly used for logging and fire fighting. I'm actually terrified of heights, I'll fix 'em, but I won't fly in 'em!

 

Your car would look sick if you lowered it. I love the white-on-white, just as good as black-on-black. That is one of the cleanest 5th gens I have seen in a looooong time. Even digging the Jesus fish... lol.

 

Just looked at the pics again.... I still can't believe the pristine body condition. My mother and stepdad are both helicopter pilots. What kind of helicopters do you work on?

 

Thank you! I was kicking around the idea of lowering it, at least an inch or two. Glad you like the white on white, I was nervous about going with white rims, but am pretty happy with the results (plus the price was right).

 

I work for Erickson Aircrane Inc. on the S64 Skycrane. Heres a couple pics

 

Ah, yes. My mom's flight instructor and family friend flew S64's in Oregon (I think). Know any pilots from New Zealand/Australia?

We used to own a Schweiser/Hughes 300C and we still have a Piper Dakota.
