Default Another new member joining the ranks

Hey all. I own a 2001 Monte SS that I bought in September of 2008. I joined up here to get some modification pointers and possibly find some parts, maybe car shows and what have you. I'll probably lurk around and participate in conversation too, though I am more active at gearsgarage.com.

The only pictures I have right now are some cell phone pics, but once the weather is nice I'll take some decent photos. I'm 21 years old and a senior at the University of Iowa. I bought the Monte last September and it is the third car I have owned, behind an Eagle Talon TSi-AWD and Mercury Topaz. The Talon was fully kitted out with a JDM motor and trans swap I did in my back yard, intake, turbo, injectors and fuel pump, and I traded that for the Monte which currently only has exhaust tips but I'm slowly working on changing a few things, probably with a CAI set up next.

Welcome Mesarius nice to have you join us here at MCF..... I have a Monty just like yours mine started stock as well, its a really fun car to drive, the car stock has a decent amount of power but doing a couple of mods to these cars will really wake them up.. so keep up posted on ur mods and ideas and if you have any questions feel free to ask.

ONCE AGAIN WELCOME TO MCF

Right now it has 49,673 miles, which the low miles are the main reason why I bought the car. I raced the Talon a couple times against my roommate's WRX and my girlfriend's Stratus R/T Sedan right after the motor swap but before I started modding it and I was able to beat the Stratus but not the WRX. I had to trade it in before I was able to finish it and get it how I like so I never had a chance to test out the turbo and fuel system upgrades before I had to let it go. I'll get another one someday hopefully.
