Default New tC owner (HighlanderMac)

Hey guys whats up!! I have been reading a little bit in the forums and I picked my tC up about 2 weeks ago... Right now it has about 950 miles on it...
It is Black Cherry Pearl and is a 5-Spd Manual...
I am heavily into the car world... I used to have a 1995 Volkswagen VR6, PT Cruiser (<<SHOW), a 1992 Eagle Talon TSI, and currently own a 1984 Nissan 300ZX AE Turbo and my NEW LOVE the tC...
I am in the process of building it up... At the moment I have a Carbon Fiber hood on its way and am waiting for a local shop to get its Mandrel Bender in...
At that point and time I will be recieving a FREE mandrel bent exhaust and Free mandrel bent Intake... They will both be dyno tuned to find out what works best, whether it be a , 2.5, or 3 inch exhaust... The shop will be building the exhausts and intakes after he dyno tunes my tC... I will let you all know the dyno results and how they work out.
I am very glad to see people like tChick and Mx6GT91 and nycazn79, who are into modding their tCs and to those that are just getting into modifications I only have this to say: "Stick with it and dont worry about those that get on you about not knowing what is going on, they were in your shoes at one point and time and got the same crap from those before them. Just be open to learning and you will find people to help you out. PM or E-Mail me if you ever have any questions. I am not saying I know everything or even nearly what a lot of other people do, but I have many contacts to find out what you need."
Hopefully soon... The Mandrel bender comes in a week so we will get to practicing bending then working on the tC exhaust and intake, maybe even headers..
Hope to hear from you all soon...
Here are a few pics of my tC so far... MORE TO COME...

Hey man looks good! glad to hear you are trying a custom mandrel exhaust, the TRX one is just to expensive. Will it be axle back or cat back? Keep your 50th AE Z31... they are great cars. I had a 1984 turbo [non AE] that I sold this year. Take a look at some of the pics here:

I'm new to but I think we'll fit right in
Actually I have about 60 miles on the clock of my silver streak 5 speed TC so you are more experenced in that respect. Once again welcome!

Thanks guys... The exhaust will be a full cat back at least. Maybe even get rid of the Cat all in itsels, I Love living in Georgia.. It is unfortunate about my Z31, but I have to get rid of it... I need the money for modding my tC...

Sir Wompus your Z was beautiful.. I will post some pics of mine later...
Thanks again all...
