I figured we needed a thread like this so here goes.

Hi, My name is Matt.


I'm 27 and have a beautiful wife and daughter. Not actually married but that's not my fault. I am a General Manager and Operations Supervisor of two Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwich Shops and work/live in the Galleria area.

I like anything to do Conan The Barbarian and am a pretty big music nerd. I'm handy with a fiddle too.

Hi. I'm James. I'm 32, I work in the IT/EMS field and I'm a car junkie.

My last car was a twin turbo 350z that I had to let go due to the crashing economy, prior to that it was a SEMA winning 2006 Scion tC, and a SEMA placing 2004 Tiburon (both boosted too lol).

I've wanted a MS3 since their inception but could never find one when I had the money or needed a car. It just so happened that there were a few around this last month so I cut my life savings, went in heavy debt, and got the car of my dreams!

This car has so much potential and the support from the community is incredible!

So far it's pretty much stock (dealer tags even) but here's my list of things that's coming.

Corksport SRI/TIP
Turbosmart XS BOV
ETS TMIC
Downpipe/Race pipe (deciding on vendor)
Corksport Motormount Inserts (en route)
Cobb AP (Way down the line)
Samco turbo hosing
TWM Shifter Base Bushings (This week)
TWM Short Throw Shifter (When they release)
LED Swap (done)
Tint (today)
Blackout tails (this week)
Debadge (today)
Blackout M Emblems(next week)
Black out sidemarkers/fogs
Painted calipers (soon)
DDM 12K HID (en route)
Rear Sway bar (researching)
Weight reduction (in progress)
Springs (moderate drop, still researching)
Powdercoat the stock wheels or find a nice all black set (researching)

My goal is to pull 280-300whp and still have it street-friendly.

Here it is in all of it's wonderful glory. BONE STOCK

[dyerdown]

[Jdm_Mica]

Sweet looking ride man, can't wait to see how she turns out!

Yup, i'm 30% covered. It's another one of my expensive hobbies!

Thanks! I have a pretty solid mod/styling strategy for it and have been in this scene for years. Now I finally have the car I really wanted from the get go so it makes things easier.

JDM_Mica. Agreed on the 2nd_gen color choice. I'm not feeling the other colors for myself. That's just me though. I had to fight the dealer to find one that had low miles (<100). Apparently all the Micas were test driven to hell and back.

Car is nice James! Sounds like your car is going to be a younger version of mine.

Wow, that's sick! We definitely have to talk offline. PM me.

I've always been one for the "murder" look. I'm just taking my time and doing it right. Tint today started the process:
