Hi, my name is swampass. This is my car.
i/cbe/3.25 TMIC/SS/AWR88 durometer/MS springs/shifter bushings/OZ ultras w/235/40 and custom rub marks/and some more stuff I don't remember. I have some monies in the bank for an EMS...wondering if I wait for the PnP or get the wire in and use the $400 saved for dyno time.

I'll follow Swampass' lead as well:
Hi, my name is Fourthmeal (Lanson) and this is my Speed3
I have done very little in the way of performance mods because I have no budget for it. I'm fortunate to have the car itself, and for now I'm happy with what it does just stock. If my budget situation improves, I'll be all over this car with upgrades.
However, I do have a lot of audio work done, primarily because I had the gear lying around. For audio guys/gals, read on. If you don't give a crap about audio, just skip my post and read someone elses...LOL
First, I sound deadened the majority of the car with Ensolite and Raammat, an important if not critcal step. Next, I wired the factory head unit's outputs to a Rockford Fosgate 3Sixty.2 audio processor, which takes the factory signals and cleans them up, equalizes them to flat, and adjusts for time delay between all the speakers for a well-centered, coherent sound field. I then have this signal run to a pair of unique Tube-powered amps, the same type of tubes a good guitar amp would have in it. This makes the audio I hear from my system a little more "warm" and smooth compared with standard amps. A nice touch, and easy to listen to for a long time. My RF 3Sixty.2 processor takes the factory front outputs and breaks them down into a separate tweeter and mid-range/woofer output, allowing me to power my Canton metal tweeters separately from my Canton 6.5" woofers. The power output is roughly 100 watts per tweeter and woofer each. The processor also sends a signal to my other tube amp, which directly powers an Eclipse SW8000 subwoofer, which is a 10", Linear Motor Technology (or LMT) sub. An LMT behaves a little bit differently compared to a normal sub. It takes a lot more airspace, but plays much, MUCH lower. While the volume it can put out is equivalent to a high quality 10", the frequency range is the same as a 15" or larger. This means as long as you have the airspace (which I do by using my spare tire well as a fiberglass tub form, so I have about 1.8 cubic feet of space) you can put one hell of a wallop in your car (as long as you consider wallop to be sound depth, not sheer volume) comparable with some of the lowest playing home theater systems. YAY! As you can probably tell, I love audio and this is my passion, so my focus obviously extends to this.
My future plans are to install the Cobb SRI, get the upgraded CDFP, install a new BPV, install simple, lightweight 18x8 (or if I can squeeze them, 8.5") wheels with the widest possible rubber that I can find. I'm thinking 245/40-18 if they'll go. This car needs traction badly. Then I want to do a Cobb short shifter, and possibly the AP management system when it comes out. All in due time!

K. Well here is mine. 2008 GT. Its stock....(or is it). Pretty much the only thing I have done thus far is get a clear bra put on it. 20% tint on the way and Black wheels too. I will post again when I get the tint and wheels.
