Ello everybody, my name's Ben; I bought my 'balt back in March but I havn't done too much lurking on the forums. I'm near the Harrisburg area in PA. Definately looking forward to learning about this beast and ways to make it even better; I've had my fair share of fun with it (including it giving me a current 2 week license suspension) Cops don't understand the feeling of a new vehicle I suppose . . . Anyhow this is my beaut' in all her glory.





Little bit bout her: Was bought used with 2 previous owners, has an aftermarket bov, and dejon charge pipe/CAI and an after market intercooler (I imagine it's a dejon as well but have not taken the time to confirm this) Thinking it's out of tune as it's running pretty rich so if anybody knows anything about getting a tune done in this area I'm definately interested!

Little bit 'bout myself: I'm a 22 year old male, (as I mentioned in the Harrisburg area.) I currently work at a FedEx Ground hub, awaiting the opportunity to attend a local mechanical school for Motorcycle tech and hopefully will eventually further my knowledge into auto body. Not much else to be said so I'll leave you guys to introduce yourselves as well!

Welcome to a black hole. Now that you have entered you'll never leave. It's crazy, insane, and mostly immature here. Have thick skin and laugh. Nice car! Trifecta isn't a bad choice if you're looking for a good tune and don't have anyone near you / dont own HPTuners.

There should be no need for an "escape" Unless maybe it's my wallet. I kind of wanna look into buying HPTuners dependant on the price, learn about it and what not plus instead of paying somebody to tune my car everytime I decide to do something to her. Hopefully it would save me some $$ in the long run, especially if it works for more than one vehicle. As for the thick skin, I love pokin fun with people so I feel like I'll fit in well!

I'll definately have to, I'll be returning from the 2nd half of my cousin's bachelor party that day so it'd be a simple detour to get to Harrisburg and thanks for the tip about the guy, I'll have to try and make contact because I'm legitamately right down 83 about 15 minutes away from Harrisburg.. Sorry for the late reply, serving the last half of this license suspension has caused me to try n keep the 'balt off my mind and focus on getting my Cavy back on the road so I can have a cheaper DD, cracked block is a fighting problem though

already 2 steps ahead of you; abrased some brass into the crack then slabbed some jbweld on top for good measure. too bad it's still got 3 spots where the coolant is still seeping out. I'm thinking the old girl's a little jealous of the new one
