Default New to forum, sister is getting an 08

Hello Scion people,

I'm new to this thread and just thought i'd introduce myself.

My name is Thai and I'm from Houston.
I've been in the Import scene since 92' and have helpped the Houston scene grow.
I'm one of the OG members on houston-imports.com.
I drive a 2000 Infiniti G20 and am a team leader of a crew name Sun*works.

Reason why i'm on this forum, because you guys are cool as hell.

LOL

My sister is about to pick up an 08, so I thought I'd start looking for parts and to get to know the TC community.


So here are some pics of my ride.





Old school Volk wheels





    Me at the show

    nice ride! Welcome to SL!! You'll definitely meet a lot of good people here. I'm sure your sis will love her new Tc! What color did she get? Flint Mica?

    She hasn't gotten one yet, but it looks like SW.
    We're waiting for the money to transfer.

    So you've been into the import scene since you were around 9?!

    Yes, my cousins were into it, and later got into circuit racing.
    He was one of the first to get the Integra Type-r when it came out.

    No A/C in Houston FTL.

    I also had another cousin fit BMW leather seats into a 92 Prelude back in the mid 90's which I've yet to see done again.

    So I've grown up with cars around me, going to the track, hanging out with my cousins and their freinds at car meets and doing installs.

    Cool, I sometimes wish I would have gotten SW, but I like my FM as well.

    What comes in the G20? SR20DE?

    Ha, I like the license plate papers.

    And yes, the SR20DE came in the G20's. How do you have an SR20 and not have it turbo'd to next week, though, is what I'd like to know.

    Stickers were only for the show, Sun*works for the team, the top right stickers everyone had those on the cars. It was required.

    The license plate is actual carbon Fiber to match my rear lip spoiler.
    No turbo because beleive it or not, It's still under warranty.
    It'll end in about 3000 miles, so I'm using it up as much as I can.

    There will be a GTI-R swap going in real soon.


    Thanks for the compliments guys. :o
