New member from PA coming from a VW GTI
Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2011 6:36 pm
Hello all. This is my second thread & figure I'd introduce myself. I just sold my mkv vw gti. Reason being I'm a new father & I want to get a awd daily driver that's good on gas & that I'd feel confident putting my son in the back off.
The wife just got herself a new suv & the new car bug has hit me. Before, I owned my gti I drove a SX4 for awhile, and I loved that car. I had alot of rrm stuff for it & it was a pleasure to drive. I admit I was first looking at some higher end sedans like the C300, A4 & sti, but the kizashi has really won me over & I plan to buy a new awd sport sls around may. Figure with the money I saved I can buy alot of rrm goodies, since I'm a tuner at heart. I first took the plunge on the zuke car because I've been riding gsxr's/honda's since I was 16 & those bikes have never let me down.
I don't want to get to radical with the kizashi, but I do plan to make it fun in the twisties. Maybe take in a occasional autocross day etc... My plans include:
-colormatching the sidemarkers
-hid's
-35% tint
-rotora bbk w/ oz wheels
-rrm rsb, strut brace, frame brace, intake, cat-back
-maybe pulley/piggyback?
I like easy mods this way if I ever have a problem I usually remove my mods & put the car back into stock form before taking it to the dealer, though most dealers never minded a bbk.cat-back so that would have to stay on.
I'll post up some pics after I get the car & will make a build thread. I have many friends in the auto body, electronic, carbon fiber, interior scene so some custom touches will be added in time. I have over 30 trophies for my previous car with many magazine features so hopefully I have a bit of know how in building a car & I look forward to this new project. I tell alot of my friends that VW is part owner of suzuki & they never believe me, so I won't be straying to far away![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)
