Default New Guy...

Hey I just wanted to say hi to everyone here. I just joined up but I been lurking around here for over a year now. Kinda sick Anyways I just picked up a 99 TA last week and love it. It's more than I expected to be as far as performance goes. Got it for 11,800 with 66,000 miles, all stock, 6 speed. I plan on going FI with it cause really thats the only reason I got it for. All my cars were pretty much Turbo 3 AWD DSM's one running 12.10@115 with bolt on's, 2 TT 300zx's 90 and 91. The 91 had some bolt on's dynoed 335rwhp. I always thought a turbo V8 would be the badest thing on the street. This board is reslly put together very well. Lots info for a new guy to learn from. My hat goes off to the guys that put it this together. Reminds me of the DSM people. Well Thats enough for now. Hope to meet up at the track some day with some of you guys.

I sure miss my DSM. I had a 91 TSi with a 20G, FMIC and some goodies. That thing was a rocket!
