I am currently a Mechanical Engineering student at University of the Pacific, in Stockton, CA.  This is my 4th of 5 years, and look to be going on an 8 month internship with NUMMI (a GM-Toyota joint-venture) beginning in June.

Anyway, I have a 1991 BrilliantRot 318iS.  It is my 2nd one.  The 1st one ended up in a tree in August 2005.  That's what I get for giving my friend a ride & going too fast!

I consider myself the president of this club since I started it, but my thanks go out to Febi Guibo & Sheepdog43.  They got this forum up & going.

Here are a few pics of the car.  Enjoy!  (and the lighting was just bad in the last one, it is not multi-colored paint!)

I made them.  Used some climb-spec webbing (4200lb test), and Spectra thread (not gonna break before the webbing at least).  Total cost...about $5.

Kudos to you for noticing those!

Oh yeah, mods....I guess I will put a couple links in above!
