Hello everyone!

My name's Craig. I've been browsing these forums for a few weeks now and decided it was time to make an introduction.  A month ago I traded my 2008 Fusion in and picked up a used certified pre-owned Kona Blue 2011 SHO.  It's my every day commuter and so far I absolutely love this car!  Normally I keep my DD's stock but I couldn't resist modifying this car for more than a week.  I tinted the windows 15% all around. With the help and guidance of "thatsmrgimp2u" I did the BOV VTA mod. Installed NGK plugs, 170 degree thermostat, and an Unleashed (Torrie) 93 octane tune.  I'm still in the process of data logging but the car feels great!  I plan on running it at Milan Dragway soon once they're open. I've been tinkering with cars my entire life.  I'm active in the local SCCA autocross events, and have lots of experience drag racing.  I've previously owned a 1994 Camaro Z28, 2005 Cobalt SS/SC, 2003 Corvette Zo6. I currently own a 1998 Dodge Viper GTS, and a 2004 Yamaha YZF-R1. They're both my "toys". 

Here are some photos:

Welcome, Craig, glad to see another Kona Blue owner in our midst!  Like SR said, great collection of rides, love to see more pics as time permits :D  Your time slips should be pretty impressive with the mods ...

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
