welcome to the site

I think you'll be able to all that you want with the information in this forum, and have lots of help w/any questions that you might have.

Here's the link to the infamous TomP tune up https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/v6/6...or-tuneup.html I'm sure you'll here that mentioned a lot.

just leave it all black, i think racing stripes are pretty gay.

custom build turbo kit

I'm sure that'll be fun. Nice little undertaking there. The 2.8's like to breath, I hope you have an intake in the works too.

17's might be a bit too heavy if you're looking for speed... dont' forget these cars weigh a LOT!
