Hey everyone, i just want to start of by saying that if this isnt a proper area of forum then let me know.

I just joined this forum yesterday, i've had a xfire for few months now, but i've only started planing the tuning it recently and thats how i came to find ur site.

I drive an 04 black limited coupe. As of right now its completly stock but during the next 2 weeks i plan to put some new stuff on it and u can count on my posting pictures for feedback.

As for the actual performance upgrades for near future i plan to put on CAI and one of the throttle booster things, I also would like to ask you for some pro advice, for example which booster i should get and should i get 1 or 2 CAI.


For the visual changes im getting my headlights and rear lights tinted at 20%, getting HID lights (go ahead make fun of my for getting tinted HIDs), painting my stock wheels black ( i just really like the way stocks look, shape wise) painting the calipers yellow, and possibly painting the engine cover black/yellow to kind of match the wheels. im also considering a mash grill, but im not sure about that yet.

Back to me, i live in Chicago subs, im 17 years old and xfire is my first car, i think its a pretty good start and im really enjoying it despite the few down sides of the car i think its great.

The next section has (in my opinion) the down sides, so u dont have to read it.

I know some of u won't agree but of those of you who care to read i'll point out the few things that i dont really like, First of all the fact that its hard to see out of the back gets a bit annoying, especialy because i back in to the garage and i almost scraped the paint a few times and when i just got the car i had to do it with the boot open (it was the first week with the car and first week with my licence), secondly being a high school student i sometimes regret not having back seats, i also find the ride a bit too hard, in the area around my house and on my way to school the roads arent exactly smooth, Lastly, i do most of my driving going to school and back, which is about 4 miles, on that jurney i have about 6 trafic lights and a few more turns/ stop sights so i strugle to get 20 mpg plus a do have a big of lead feet, so i guess that could be excused.


I hope i will have some good times on this forum with you guys and will also pick up some expert advise.


Here is a pic i took a day after i got it, few months ago, it still looks the same for now, but not for long

 

congrats on your crossfire purchase... and welcome to the forum!!!

 

Welcome to the forum. I too live in the burbs (Aurora) and also have a 04 coupe.

Lots of pics and albums in my gallery too.

Have fun with the car and post some pics soon.
