Houston we have..... A New Guy.

Hello All,

My name is Martin and I'm the new owner of a 2004 sedan. Picked her up last May; she's blue(dark), automatic, and with around 56k miles on her. So far it's been a good ownership experience. The stock brakes were worthless so I switched them out (actually, my buddy did took care of them(with some Axxis pads and I think some stoptech rotors), suspension is next (struts, springs, shocks, and bushings), a bluetooth/iPod stereo (will need advise on this one; dash kits, head units, etc..), and then....?

I've been checking the various FI possibilities but not quite sure I want to take it that far. I'm still considering just doing a few bolt ones and being done with it. Not sure if I really want 400+ hp but maybe I need it.

previously I've owned various cars including a 98 E36 M3 sedan which so far is the best all around car I've owned so far. It handled great, at the time it was a quick car, a driver's interior, comfortable, great looks, and most importantly it was subtle (wolf in sheep's clothing).

BTW I'm also a bit of a motorcycle nut...

-Martin

Drop by our forum and introduce yourself and the local Houston G drivers will be more then happy to assist you.

If you are looking for a place to get head units, double din dash kits, etc., then Sal's Autosport can help you out. He is located on Beltway 8 and 290, off of the Fairbanks exit on 290.

To give you an idea of what kind of work they can do:
