New FD owner @ NY

Hi, my name is Brian and I live in Syracuse NY.
I used to have RX8 R3 but I switched to Genesis coupe because of lack of power. After I moded my Gencoupe to drift car, I totalled it and I bought e46 M3.
and finally I got FD couple weeks ago.
I love the light weight which I never felt with M3.
My car is mostly stock. It has Tein spring, downpipe, dual oil cooler, 99spec bumper/wing.
I ordered stoptech ss line and Pettit AST couple days ago.
Here is more list that I want to mod. based on what I've researched.
PFC, HKS Ti-carbon exhaust with midpipe (still thinking about buying it new or used)
AEM true boost gauge, Aftermarket steering wheel.
Upgrade Radiator, short shifter (looking for C's) and more.
please give me some advice what you are thinking.

I go to NYC and Toronto often. so I would like to make some friends around Toronto, and tristate area.

Thanks


Brian

Welcome!

If I may ask, what kind Genesis coupe did you have, and what kind upgrades did you do to it?

Welcome Brian! Too bad you totalled the Gen Coupe - was it the 3.8 or 2.0T? I am in Toronto, but I am just some teen haha. I am getting into the world of RX7s and I have had a passion for cars ever since I could start talking.

ayy! fellow NYer. i'm from rochester area, its nice to hear of some FD's from around here. i've only ever seen one that comes around charlotte beach every now and then for the races. donno if you're familiar with charlotte beach anyway. doooope car. i'm currently building an FC turbo powered datsun 240z. yeah. 13b turbo in a 240z. i cant wait to get the car back on the road again. it was so light and nimble at the stock 2260 curb weight, but i've shaved over 100 pounds from gutting the car from carpet to dash. added in 90lbs from the roll cage, and lost around 300 from the motor and tranny swap :] im certainly hoping the car will weigh in at 2000 or less when all is said and done.
