Default Noob intro

New owner here, introducing myself...
I have just procured a 2002 Moro Blue 225 Quattro Coupe. It has been through lurking this very active board and going through the tons of good info that I was able to feel comfy in making my choice on a good looking, good handling sports coupe. My previous rides have included a G35 Coupe and and a 300XZ, and am more than familiar with a set of tools, so with the excellent guidance of this fine group, I am ready to foray into the nether regions of maintenance and mod$ on this fine beast....
(Oh yes, I am from Calgary, and this 143,000Km car has not had the timing belt mod - my order is already in to dieselgeek.com and will not turn a tire till this is done)

Yup1 Checking out the FAQ's...this puppy is grounded till the TB is done - another example of "the dealer said I did not need to do it till 155,00Km!" So many horror stories....so little time.... :-)

Yup! Would hate to bring a new ride down with the cacophonous symphony of valves mashing themselves to bits into piston....

Default I am from Edmonton. Let me know when the kit comes in and maybe we can hook up >>

My 2000 only has 74K on it so I haven't done the belt but will be doing it soon.
