New here
Just wanted to introduce myself. I see a lot of familiar "faces" from the other side of the automotive world. Attached is my previous project. There were many cars in between but now I ended up with something that I am very happy with. Let the modding begin!

Early build 03 with 64k very lighly optioned. No Nav, but has keyless go which I presume to be the only option.

There is evidence via service history that this has been squared away. Regardless one of the first things on the "to do" list is a trans cooler just to be safe.

That's good that's actually very good ......I need to do it to you but now it's time to check to make sure that the fuel filters and fuel pump have been serviced at 60,000 miles the recommended service interval. Other than that congratulations it's an awesome car. I'm really pleased with my 55. You will have so much fun!

Next question is, how the hell do you make these things turn confidently. Even with all of the suspension bits being in good shape, the steering feel is terrible with this car and even in its stiffest position it really does not like quick transitions or any of camber stuff. What it looses in the handling dept it really does make up in brute force and torque. I guess I am going to have to give this whole drag racing thing a try.......

Didn't make it last year, I had a C4s at the time, didn't think the P-Cars were welcome. The pic of the beast is from the year before last. Good times!
