Default New Guy in Palatine, IL

Hi guys, I've been hearing about this site lately & it looks incredibly helpful, hopefully I can contribute too. Been on MFBA for a little while as well.

I've got a silver 99 T/A with the usual bolt ons, & of course I'm always looking for something else for it.


Air filter & lid, smooth bellows, LT's, ORY, Borla catback, Meziere electric water pump, Transgo shift kit, LCA's, Baer brakes
