First Post-New Member!
Hey,
I just recently bought my first Corvette about 2-3 months ago! Got it used from a close relative who didn't care for it anymore and sold it to me.
I LOVE IT!!
Wish it was a M6 but the A4 will do. Favorite option is the Millenium Yellow.
So far have already got the Haltech Tric/Mag Package installed and windows tinted.
Just bought a Borla XR1 Sys, Z06 Scoops and Ducts, Z06 Calipers, GT Rotors, Hawk Pads, and SS Brake Lines. Hope to get this all Installed soon. :cool:
I plan to order a new Thermostat, was thinking about a LS6 Intake Manifold, and lowering the car.
If you have any advice on what products you think would be good to get or what brand, etc... I would appreciate it.
Thanks
Samir :seeya
Hope the pics work

Welcome, and congats on your MY2000,
To make you really appreciate your auto trans you may want to get the Powerloader II from TTS. It is a night and day difference in performance and just plain fun to drive. Good luck. :yesnod:

Welcome to the forum! I've got the halltech tric/mag and loving it as well. I'd leave the thermostat and intake manifold alone. The money would be better spent on other mods...nitrous, h/c package, wheels for the track, etc..
I'd definitely get AutoTap to monitor your baby, and Zaino to protect her gorgeous finish.

Re: First Post-New Member! (Yellow2000c5)
Welcome! Glad you like the car; as you can see here, most of us do too! Go slow on the mods and check here for suggestions, problems, etc. For example, I too think about SS brake lines but want to know how many have had trouble with false signals from wheel sensors, etc. Don't want to cause more problems that necessary.......
