Default New guy Baton Rouge Area

Whats up guys?! New here, thanks to one of the sales managers here, Ron, showing me to this site. My profile is a little hoax, but it is my future mods to what I have planned. Hoping a lot of headaches may end here when I start browsing more and more. But yea, I'm here in Baton Rouge, La, and just wanted to drop by and say hey.

I have an 07 silver tC, with borla exhaust and the resonator removed. I'll have some videos up soon of my vehicle, but sound quality could be better.

The turbo set up in my profile is my anticipation within the month, so if you have any help or any advice, please don't hesitate to guide me!

I would put something in your profile and sig mentioning that it is anticipated... you will get flamed worse than a whopper sooner or later if you dont. A lot of kiddies on the net that like to build up their dream cars and pretend they have them, going around starting crap and bragging about cars they dont have, so you dont want to get mistaken for that or you wont get much love on any forum.

Other than that... welcome! If you are new to the Baton Rouge area, watch out for that d@mned I-10 bridge at rush hour.. I have spent a good amount of time in the Lafayette area in the past year on work. I LOVE coming down there (hey, I wasnt born and raised in the north ya know ).... but I hate that bridge. Seems I always hit it on the way to the airport right after an accident

im loving my tC. I came from a done up v6 that would hang nicely with the GT's.... all my buddies are in cobras, so I got some ripping when I went to my tC. Now all my buddies are enjoying the fact that in a month I'll be sitting with 310 est. whp, and will be running somewhat close to them :D

Response to CSUnited14 --
I plan on doing a full video/pictorial of the full install. Basically I landed a job yesterday, starting pay 22.50 an hour. I'm only 1 grand away from purchasing the kit, so with this job landed, I'm just a few weeks away from purchase. When I purchase, I'm bringing my car to my buddy's house, ripping her apart on Friday night. Saturday the install (says about 8 hours), Sunday, to make sure nothing wrong and to put it to the test. Monday, she'll be on the dyno which I'll then throw the dyno charts and time slips from me heading to the track.

Response NickyD0403 --
Yea, Team Shocker Racing and the Baton Rouge Scikotics Chapter.
