Hi all, I'm Bret from San Antonio, Texas. I recently made the jump and bought an 02 C32 with 26k miles. Just wanted to say hi and have been looking through the beginner's thread. Any thread compilation on performance someone can direct me to? Anyone in Texas as well?

Cheers

Welcome to the forum
Yes, the newbie thread is an excellent place to start. The thread has a lot of information. What are you wanting to do first? Since you have only 26k on the car, I bet it's in excellent condition!

It is in great condition and is a blast to drive. It's a bit like my buddy's M Coupe but more comfortable. Where should I start with performance? Intake and ignition wires? Do c32s respond well to ECU tunes without other heavy mods?

welcome. Start with cooling mods...ie heat exchanger, intercooler pump. Then move to a 185mm crank pulley and tune.

I used to be stationed at Ft. Hood which is north of there. Visited San Antonio a number of times, great city. Welcome.
