What's the story on LS1.com R3?

[mitchntx]

Rev 1
I actually joined LS1.com back in the day before UBB when it was owned by Hutch. That was probably Feb of 98 when I bought my TA. Member #23 ...

He then sold it to Bradley ... Rev 2

I was a mod in the Suspension and handling section for a long time.

It rocked along ... LS1Tech was spawned because there was too much AAG for some folks. Elmer took the reins for a while and he and Zed started LS2.com for similar reasons.

I kind of fell of the face of the earth for a while.

I come back a couple years ago and it's all changed once again. Rev 3

This time, though, none of the history of the previous 8 or 9 years is there.

What happened?

Not trying to open up old wounds, just curious.

[SiggyZ]

History as in threads/posts from back then?

That is a pretty good set of Cliff Notes.

Yes ... back when TByrne Motorsports was the major player in LS1 performance related equipment and Angie from Thunder posted up specials on lids and Borla cat-backs.

Then there were hundereds of folks that got screwed by Grotyhahn on the pre-orders for the first long tube design.

And don't forget Incon and Rob Raymer's Turbo rip-off...

brad still owns the site... ed runs the site... i still post stupid shit... don't forget that sky042 used to also help run the site back in teh day as well... he passed away a few years ago...

[mitchntx]

Really ... I didn't know and sorry to hear that.

So Brad still owns it? That kind of surprises me, although he said many times he'd shut it down before selling it. I guess he was true to his words.

So did all the posts and threads get lost in one of the many hosting/speed/stability squabbles he used to have?

The history is missing because the servers went down, lack of payment I believe. I used to creep the street racing section when I was a little kid (turning 17 this month)

just googling some old names brings up some archived stuff...

[mitchntx]

hmm ... searching on my username in the Road Racing section and the texas section, it only goes back to 2008.

It's been too long ago ... did I (everyone) have to re-register at some point?

i'm not sure... i forgot my old password and came back as "the real spaz" untill ed could verify with me my e-mail address... then i was able to get back in to my old account... i think ed was able to retrieve my old post count and join date...

Non-payment on the hosting server and not having a reliable backup is the reason the old threads/posts are gone.

<--Former Admin for a couple of weeks while setting up REV3.

Mitch, you are probably one of the longest standing members.
I remember you from back in the day and when Tom Byrne was the busiest sponsor here. I bought a lid, tires and sub frames from him

Remember folks used to put the number of coats in their sigs?

Remember when Snakeeater98 got his car siezed for street racing in NYC?

[SiggyZ]

I'm one of those Z-coat people and could reinvigorate that topic real quick.

[nhraformula]

Lol, i remember when the 224/224 cam was considered a "big cam"
I do remember the whole Zano thing, it was funny as hell to me.

[wheeliE-maxx]
