Good job Tony looks like you have been busy this offseason. Nice display too I know you have some other stuff up your sleeves and I look forward to seeing you soon. For those that do not know Tony, Bing and myself are all a part of Elite so we are teammates as well as competitors.

mucho props on the copper color/gold Volks/gold package and tan interior . VERY unique for our cars and VERY hot!!! Well done!

One thing from an old 2GS vet though... I am a fan of the WIN kit, but the huge exhaust openings in the rear make me crazy. Have you considered a different exhaust setup to fill that void? Just a thought. Anceltion has some sweet quad setups I've seen in the Vendor section.

Thanks man. I hear ya on the huge openings. Actually, I had the TTE Quad exhaust before, which filled out the openings, but they were too restrictive, so now running bigger diameter APexI cat-backs. Waiting to get my rear bumper redone now to make the new exhausts flow better. Kinda *** backwords, but I haven't found any less restrictive quad exhausts. Do you if the Anceltions are freer flowing than the TTE's? Thanks for the reference. I'll check it out.

i'm hoping to make it out but i am a full time student and work full time as well so shows are hit and miss. i can usually attend most shows but with requests in advance. i have it requested but it hasn't been approved yet. i have much to learn from you guys and going to shows like HIN will definitely let me do that, LEARN! can't wait to see you all. i will be rolling to orlando though for the spring picnic thing. but we'll see if i run my car or not at the track day. she still is bogging but i am pretty sure it is the MAF sensor again but i'm also about to hit my 60K service so that should be fixed. thanks for the props again everyone.

yeah bing's car is kiack ****! i've learned a lot from that guy! much respect for him. it is also kinda nice to have him around since he does everything first i.e. turbo set up so i can copy him when it is all done and working properly lol.

i don't have many shots of my rear since my rear deck was all scratched up, it is now fixed. but this is what my exhaust looks like for now. i couldn't stand the way it looked with the oem exhaust but this was a cheap alternative. i don't have deep pockets so unless i can find some nice used quads i'll go for it. but for now, this is what i am running. plus my car isn't boosted............yet.. so i guess i just save my money till then! lol student loans own me!

cool, you running the Apex'I WorldSport II along with me??? Very free-flowing with just enough of a note to it. I love mine.

As for the Anceltion, I really know nothing about their setups other than the pics I've seen. I think they might also have a setup in an oval configuration that would fill that bumper out as well.
