About me:
Hey my names mark. I'm 29 from Ohio and I've owned my G for 7 years now (purchased in the spring of 07). I have been into tuners since high school when 2 of my friends and me would do stuff to their civics and my sinfire. I also like muscle cars and trucks and would also love to have a 70's mustang Mach 1 and 70's F150. After HS all I really liked were cars so I went to college at UNO for high performance automotive. After realizing it doesn't pay too well especially to young mechanics I started working as a mechanic in a factory. I have not really worked on cars other than basic stuff since graduating so most of my knowledge has since left me.
I have always wanted to build a show quality tuner and when I got my G I then and still now plan to try and do so and keep it for life. I have loved the look and lines of a G since I first saw one. Life has gotten in the way a few times so I have not been able to get into any modifying yet. A few years ago still young and dumb with the car close to being paid off I got into some credit card trouble and had to barrow against my car to pay it off. Now all that's good and I'm very close to having it paid off, for the second time lol, and I'm starting to look into parts again. I plan to keep the money I have going into my account for the car payment and since I don't miss that money from daily life use that for doing the things I've always dreamed about for it.
About my G:
I have a 04, manual, diamond graphite coupe with 68,000 miles on it. It has every factory option with the exception of GPS and I wish it did. The interior is black leather with a white top. I am the second owner of the car and it was brought up from northern central Florid. It is garage kept and has never seen winter. I park it around thanksgiving and do not get it back out until mid/late march (this time of year) after it has warmed up some and a few good rains have washed the salt off the road. The car is in very good condition with the exception of the stock rims being chewed up from the previous owner, and minor general wear with the interior.
Hope this was too long. I'll probably be doing a big of question asking around here trying to figure out specifics before I go to buy things and hopefully some of what I learned in classes starts coming back.

beautiful car. I am a noobie myself on this forums but most answers should be found through the forums just search it. Learned it the hard way lol. But yea bolt-on parts and plenum spacer with a tune will give you plenty of gain to the wheels.
