Have fun freezing your ass off Pete:)
I guess I'm still a true Minnesotan, just on temporary relocation. You can expect to see me around on occasion.
As you know pete. Im the occasional minnesotian
I'm new to the area, and I'm sure feeling the cold, considering I was born and raised in Southern California. I'll also vouch for Kwikfox, who hasn't been posting here often, and may not see the thread.
PolishMafia, you've already met Kwikfox, but I've yet to meet any of you midwest TGC'ers...I hope to be able to soon!
Ya, im here, and dammit pete, we need to hang out again lol. I cant believe you turned down breakfast at the titty bar with me! it was for a good cause haha
haha me and another WI member may be in town in a couple weeks. maybe we could meet up
Hi.
Haha, all I hear are excuses! No true man would turn down tits... no matter what! LOL j/k, but ya, it was the Toys for Tata's.
7 days until I move back :)
i should be moving to St. Cloud in a month or so, just waiting for my friends to find an apartment big enough for the 4 of us.
I need to get out this way again! Pete I miss you and your sexy blue honduh
I'm in the twin cities!! Just joined!!
Fargo. Close enough?
Yeah, thats mine. Welcome to the forums.
Thanks m-rod. How come I haven't seen any of u guys yet??? What mods do u guys have on ur cars???
You probably haven't seen us because you haven't ever gone to any meets. I have too many mods to list, plus I'm just too lazy.
Might have been a chance I seen you driving yesterday if you were going south on White Bear Ave around 3pm. I was in my SHO though...
ha im from minnesota and ya its cold haha
Another MN member... nice. Welcome Benny.
You new members need to post up some pics of your cars!
Yes! Let's get some activity started around here. I always wondered when I'd start seeing some of the Galants in the Twin Cities find their way here.
Ok fine!! I'll take some pictures in a bit, after I do some homework!!! But don't hate when you see my galant. It's not gonna be a race type galant cause I'm going for a VIP look on my galant.
We don't care if its stock or whatever - as long as its not riced out.
How old are you anyway, if you have to do homework? Need to know in case we schedule a meet that may involve alcohol.
Haha I'm plenty old polishmafia, 25 to be exact. I'm going to school at Saint Paul College for CNC. Also, I won't be able to get some pictures up tonight cause I ran out of time. I'm at work right now but for sure I'll post up some pictures of my car by this weekend. My life is just too busy since I have school and work full time for both. But yeah, I'll probably hit up a meet or two whenever I get te chance to.
25? Bah... still a youngin in my books. I'm 29. ;)
No rush on the pics. We just like seeing new member's cars. And we haven't had an official TGCMN meet in a long time, if ever, so I think we'll have to arrange one.
Ok, I got some pictures up and here's a couple. I'll drop my car next year if anyone is asking why it's not dropped. Gonna get some air ride next year!!

Damn... how wide are those rims? Not really my style, but if you like em, rock em.
dang those are huge!
Rims are 20x8.5 with a +35 offset. hella flush in the front and a good flush in the rear. Bought the rims for dirt cheap from a friend and got some new tires (Pirelli P Zero Nero super expensive tires) for them. I think the look is ok but it could be better, I'll still rock them tho.... Here's my other car if you guys are wondering why I'm not making my galant a racing type car....

wondering if anyone here has problems with the snow. im going to wait til next year before i get megan springs, but im curious as to how everyone else deals with it in the winter
I'm dropped on AGXs and Tein springs, plus my JDM front is lower than the stock bumper, and I have no problems in the snow. Lower your car, you'll be fine!
Winter doesn't scare me!! I just hate the cold!! As for my car, it handles great with a good set of tires!!
it does snow alot up here in mass. thats y i'm thinkin about lower the dam winter is here the last snow storm left about 13 inches on the ground its a bicth, might just wait till next spring but i am droppin it for sure.
Real men drive dropped cars, all year round, no matter what. ;)
New to the forums but have had the 2G sandiayamondo GSX-E for 6 years now. Went to UTI for mechaincs and have a BA in buisness and working on all types of FI. The Eclipse is my favorite car to work on, however not alot come into my shop. Thinking about moving my shop my east. I have friends in the MPLS area but do not know about the FI scene. Can anyone enlighten me? My intentions would be to open a FI speed shop with full service; mechanical/electrical/eletronics. The shop I have now has 6 bays, 3 lifts, paint booth and 6 employees, 3 of which will move with me, and will need to look for another 3 employees, a painter, bodyman (fiberglass too) and a shop manager. I will need to find a shop to move into that has 6 bays and a place for a paint booth, and at least 2000 sqft to sell speed parts, and another 4000 sqft for storage. I have first line connections in Japan/Korea auto worlds and have tremdoues parts available only offered in Japan & Korea. THX -AMP:023:
The performance shop scene here in the Twin Cities is pretty tough. You would be dealing with some of the midwest's top performance shops. Modern Automotive Performance, DB Performance, Elite Performance, Full Blown Motorsports, Straight Line Specialities, and RS Motors.
We have some of the top tuners across the country here too, especially in the DSM and Honda scenes.
Its an extremely tough market here, and I've seen shops come and go after living here for many years. Good luck in any future endevours you take!
Hi from south st. paul.
