Welcome. I will say the usual first post for New Orleans. Get a GREAT SECURITY SYSTEM! Other than that, enjoy your new car. The mod list is endless. Whatever you want to do can be done through the Sponsors on the right hand side of the screen. My recommendation is call Vengeance Racing in Atlanta and discuss with them what you would like to get out of your car. Then, they will give you some recommendations. You also have LSX Motorsports in Kenner, Thunder Racing in Baton Rouge, and Futral Motorsports just outside of Baton Rouge.

Vengeance Racing has earned, and will keep my business.

Good Luck, and Enjoy.

Todd

Welcome to the game. I'll suggest 2 things, first a hell of a security system, second, invest in a 12-bolt or a 9 inch rear end. After that, you'll be alright (i went thru 4 rear ends before i wised up and got a Moser).

Just give me a lil time I live in Slidell and me and my business partner are trying to put together our shop All-Out Performance. We are in the process securing a shop and starting up business by the first of the year.

Only if you have a six speed. The stock 10 bolt will hold for awhile behind an automatic. Less abuse with an auto.

Ya i got a little something for theft protection. Its an a4. I have only owned manual cars before but I got this one for a good deal so i decided to go with the auto. I figured with all of the stuff out for these cars in the end it really wont matter or having an auto will even be better. I have dealt with thunder before but just getting my bottle filled for my old accord. Not only is this my first auto and lsx car...its also my first domestic so I have a lot to learn.
