flatcat19 Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Hey Ratsun! You've been warned. Just kidding. Long time lurker, thought I'd finally take the plunge. Really just wanted to drop an intro, and say hi to all of you guys. I did join 510Realm, but keep finding myself reading through Ratsun-so why not just join? Right?!? This is a little more my style anyways! So thanks for having me. Looking forward to it. My name is Keith. Born and raised in Portland, OR-But recently moved to Tri-Cities, WA. Big Nissan/Datsun fanatic. I don't own a 510-YET-but I do own this Nissan pictured below. 2001 Maxima/5 speed. A bigger/wrong wheel drive version of a 510. I've always liked Dimes-but just recently fell in love with them. On the normal, if I have a question about certain things working I just ask my best-friend Ed(AKA nismodr. I'm pretty sure most of you know him. He's building/finished a 521 as we speak, so I can really only ask him so much. He'll just send me links-or tell me to go search for it myself. So rather than always bug him, I'll just join the forums. So-Hi! My current plans are to gather knowledge, parts, and eventually an awesome car to start with. So here I go. Just really wanted to say hi to all of you. Let you know I'm not the kind of guy to post noob-ish posts. There is no such thing as a stupid question-so I'll normally look for the answer before I make myself look like a stupid person. So if you find me asking about something-I really did try to research the holy living ish out of the subject. Yadidimean? Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 your freinds with Ed. therefore you should have been forwarded that many pics are required! and thus have no excuse! :fu: :rofl: welcome to ratsun Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted June 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Hey Skib. Been trying to figure out how to post pics. All I could get was that tiny one shown; so until I get it--- JK-I wanted to post Ed's award winning picture from Canby, but figured I'd better get one of the Maxima up before anything else. Ha.

flatcat19 Posted June 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 I'll get it down. My laptop is super sensitive. Keeps freezing if I do something it doesn't like. Word of advice to anyone out there-Don't buy an HP laptop! My Blackberry performs better than this thing. But I'll get it. Funny though-I think Ed has more pics of my Maxima than I do.

flatcat19 Posted June 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 This was before I blacked my headlights. These are hideous with the original headlights like that. But definitely a better pic than previous. Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted June 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 2008. We didn't make it to '09. Girlfriend was 7 1/2 months pregnant. Not a good combination in the middle of August. Were you at the show in '08? Quote Link to comment

Were you at the show in '08? my bad :P I was trying to remember what year Johns 411 was there (white car next to you) I was there in this in 08 Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 my bad :P I was trying to remember what year Johns 411 was there (white car next to you) I was there in this in 08 I remember the gray dime next to yours. Mainly 'cuz the paint, and color matched wheels were very close to mine. See, bigger/wrong wheel drive version. Perfect example. Do you still have that Z car? looks good. Not as good as your goon though... Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Welcome to ratsun. :D Now go get a DATSUN. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 So, now that the basic intro is out of the way-are there any Ratsun members here in Tri-Cities? Yakima? Or anywhere near here? Would love to here from ya! Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Welcome to ratsun. :D Now go get a DATSUN. Thanks. That is the plan. Since recently moving-funds are a bit tight. But I will, for sure. I really don't think too many Datsun's have made it out here in Tri-Cities. I have seen a couple Z's, and one 620. But 'm not giving up the hunt. That's for sure.

Gorgeous whip though. GLWS. Aiming for a project-worthy dime. Hell, or maybe even a really odd ball Datsun. Wouldn't feel to good buying/driving someone else's project. We'll see what I can come up with. Believe me, I'm searching for the right one. Quote Link to comment
