Hello all-

If this is in the wrong forum mods please move it...I saw that there was no "n00b" forum so I posted here.

I'm originally from PA but I go to school down in VA. I saw some of my friends on the site, I was impressed, so decided to join up and spend some time here. I currently drive a celica gts, and my last car was a '97 gsx. I don't really have too much done to it yet, just I/E and the little cosmetics you see. However within the first week or two i'm home from college I'll finally have time to install my supercharger. Not much, but I'm proud of what I have.

Oh and feel free to call me Tim

Here's a couple shotty pics:

Thanks guys. I'm probably looking at like 225 at the wheels with a basic tune, and most likely looking to tweak it up to ~250. I mean it's not going to be anything wicked...but it will be fun to tool around in...and the s/c will give that teeny 1.8 liter some balls down low. For reference, another guy with the same setup is running ~13.5 which is respectable in my book for what the car is. At heart it's more of an autoX car...which I'll hopefully test out next school year.

Yeah, you should definitely look at hitting up some autocrosses in the near future. Where in PA are you from? If you aren't too far north you should go to some of the the Capital driving Club's autox's in MD.
