Hey guys, name's Brad, I'm from Lexington, Kentucky. I bought my "pastel yellow" 2000 Tib used with about 41,000 miles on it a little over a year ago and before then I'd never really thought about modding a car. Now it's pretty well consumed my life, at least as much as it can on a college student budget. The car itself has only minor bolt-ons right now and still looks stock from the exterior, but its always a work in progress.

Btw, if anyone's curious about the username, I play drums (clearly tongue.gif) in a hardcore band here in Lexington. One of my old band's initials is MFE and it just sort of stuck, so yeah.

Cold air intake, header, exhaust system - you know, the usual combo.

Also, it needed a tune up, so I upgraded the spark plug wires to 8.5mm and threw in some iridium plugs. Then my battery died about a month ago and so I got rid of it and got a optima yellow-top battery.

I actually have some 17" Kyowa Racing wheels on the way that I am waiting for too... quite impatiently I might add.

Thanks guys.

I've been in Ohio quite a bit recently, but if it was almost a year ago, it probably wasn't me, and I also don't remember talking to anyone with another tib.

Most of my family lives in/around Ohio and I just visited a friend of mine up near Cleveland, which obviously lead me all the way across the state. Needless to say, I've been in and through it enough recently that you could easily run into me there :P
