    Hey everyone. My name is Chris, im 25 and just picked up a 2000 GTP today. Only put on about 10 km my self but im already in love. I dont have any current future plans for it besides getting some DDM head lights and possibly new fog lights. I do a lot of night highway driving so lighting is very important.

    As for power mods the only thing I have planned is a home made cold air intake. I don't want to get to crazy with mods as it'll be my car that i drive to and from work (about 170-190 KM per trip depending on which way I take).

    The car is Burgendy in color, dark leather interior, and all out awesome. :-D

    Thanks for the welcome's evereyone!

    Blue, Link clicked and read (that was sure a lot of reading. haha)

    As for the tire, the shop still has the rim and will hopefully get it back tomorrow. almost 500 KM (310 miles) on my donut (the drive to/from work is 193 km [119 miles] each way plus a little bit of city driving).

    Definately going to be doing a DIY CAI ASAP....then HID's...gotta love acronyms...

    I haven't driven auto's in a long time so I was curious, is it normal for these cars to hang around the 3500 rpm mark when doing not hard but not soft acceleration? (pulling on to a highway/freeway). I'm thinking its cause that's where the stall should be on the converter, but it seems a little odd.
