    Default A late intro...

    I moved to TX from NH just over a year ago and have been lurking and posting on the forum since (actually before I moved). However I never introduced myself, so here goes.

    After a period with couple of Alfa Spiders ('86 & '74), I bought my '09 GT almost new and have made a few modifications to it...

    AEM CAI
    RB Header
    GWR mid & Q
    17x8 RPF1's with 235/40 Falken RK452
    FM springs & Tokico HTS shocks
    RX8 sways

    While these mods were done with no specific end-game in mind other than a better performing street car, I now find myself getting more interested in the autox and (potentially) track scene -- a very slippery slope indeed. I did my first autox on 4/28 at TMS -- several of you may have seen me slide around like an idiot. I'll be there again on Sunday, hopefully with better results. I clearly need to start thinking about what's next for the car and it's obvious that the driver needs more talent. A tune, tires, and an LSD are probably the first things. My plan is to use what I have for a while before making any changes... hopefully I can compensate a little by improving my skills.

    Anyway, I'm looking forward to meeting more folks and maybe I'll see you on Sunday.

    see you there. Not sure if I'll have my new hubs installed by then, but I'll be in a black NC if I do.

    Welcome, neirbot. I'll be at the waiver table Sunday morning. Say Hi when you sign the waiver.
    On the track, I am fearless.
    If you were as slow as me, you wouldn't be afraid either.
