Newbie Here

Hi, I'm new here. I don't actually drive anything with a 3800 but my wife just bought a 2000 Bonneville SSEi, I would like to keep it in top shape, maybe slip a few mods under the radar . I've kind of skimmed the forums here, and it looks like ZZPerformance is pretty popular which is cool cause i live about 40 min away from them.

I really like this car, its the kind of car i wanted to get for when we start a family soon. ahh well, looks like plan B.

anyway on to the pics

Welcome to the forum good sir! I just want to give you a tip right away.... We all say we are just going to do a couple things and not get crazy... It doesn't work out like that, once the mod bug bites you are screwed. 6 months and 5,000 later you have a 12 sec monster and you look back and remember saying you were just going to do a couple things and laugh, lol. Have fun, and everyone on here is great and always willing to help you out with questions and tips about current and future mods!

Aloha Demz,
Welcome to the best 3800 forum known. Nice ride you have there. I agree that you'll want to go crazy after the first mod. Do your homework though and dont get in a rush, you have plenty of time. Most everybodys cars on this forum are still under construction anyway, including mine. Your SSEi will make a great sleeper!

In a whisper voice... Don't tell anyone else, but the guys that run this forum are the owners of Intense-Racing, who also happen to race (or did) a Bonnie.

We are actually the innovators in FWD Bonneville performance. Our BADSSEi holds the record for the fastest SSEi at 10.7 in the 1/4 mile and my 00 SSEi is the fastest street legal FWD Bonneville which has been 12.1 in the 1/4 mile. Our performance products were even used in the "Spirit of Bonneville" car at the salt flats. This car has the distinction of being the First FWD production vehicle to hit 200mph.
