hey there!

i'm obviously new here so i thought i'd introduce myself.

you can address me as rotestier95, my username.
i'm 17, i'm going to be a senior next year, and i just recently bought my second car: 1995 Grand Am SE coupe. here it is:


http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a232/christie_road7908/mycar.jpg

the car has little over 100k on it, but the engine has about 70k. it's got the same type of engine that was stock in it. the only mod i've done is put my ktp wheels on it. i've got a double chrome tip that will be on it soon and i'm planning on putting a better air intake on it, removing the cat/resinator, and putting a different muffler on. i've got a cd player/speakers i need to install from my previous car. there's alot more that i'll do as time goes on. it's my baby :)

now about me, well...my dad's parents both raced cars at peoria speedway, and therefore my dad started working on stock cars when he was 6. he's been a mechanic almost his whole life and gets paid well for it cause he's good. my mom's aunt owned a NASCAR team for a brief period, and her grandpa used to announce at peoria speedway. cars and racing are deep in my blood and i love engines, smooth cars, and speed.

but i'll be damned if i ever get a speeding ticket.
i've had my license for a year and 3 months citiation-free.
i plan on keeping it that way.
but that doesn't mean if i pull up next to you at a red light, i won't have a little fun. ;)

if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
i love to meet people. :)

Very nice choice in wheels... goes well with the car. Looks like the car is in good condition too.

Just to save you some research time... since there are no cold-air intakes made for this application, I'd recommend making your own. I spent under $100 in parts.

Automatic or manual? If you have an automatic, leaving the cat on is actually the better option. Muffler... I recommend Borla or Dynomax... many others sound awful on the Quad 4.

the wheels originally were on my 1993 white chevy corsica lt. they were perfect for that car. i'm so glad that they look good on this too =)
