Hello & Advice

[FrankW]

Hi Everyone - just joined the site (boatmangc pointed me in the right direction - thanks) and am already depressed. Don't know much about cars, and as it turns out - almost nothing about Marauders. Bought mine (black ext., black int., 2003) in July of 2006. Love the car. No improvements made. Am I the only one?

Any useful advice for me? Any good garages around Miami that you would recommend? Can any - small - improvements be made to my car ( 75,000 miles)? How did you all figure out which production number your cars are?

I'd appreciate any advice - Thanks:)

A couple improvements that will really wake up your car are 4:10 gears and a performance tune. Dennis Reinhart is down is FL and can hook you up with both.

As for your production number, check out this link:

Made an instant improvement in performance.;)

Welcome, to your new addiction. It's amazing how fast time flys when you first discover the site and start reading. I remember many nights of being up late reading, especially on the weekend.

[PonyUP]

Welcome :beer: and don't worry about not being a car guy. I know very little about cars except that I like to go fast and if your not winning, your losing. This is a great site though, you can learn a lot and meet some of the best people in the world. Enjoy the ride and remember your car is an extension of you, so regardless of the advice you get, any mod's that you do need to be something that make you love the car more. That is the best advice I can give.

[LANDY]

welcome to the site. enjoy the car and modding is an addiction.
