yeah i didnt snooze, johnny did........he was supposed to get back to me bout it and never did. no matter not angry just messing with you.

good to know,does the moonroof have to come out to get this out or can you remove it while its in?

they are never truthfully done, just appease us for a little bit.... lol its looking good only thing i would do is a swap and maybe a manual

Probably the best GS I've seen on here. Your car is on a completely different level man, keep it up.

The car looks real good, especially in person. How was the drive back?

Thanks man! love your car. Glad I got to see yours again, always a pleasure. We got a flat on the trailer on the ride home but had lots of help from team members to get it back on the road in a jiffy. I've always gotten a flat of some sort in FL. congrats on your big win!

Default Nice!

Tony, it's alway's nice to see what you have done next to your ride, along with the great photo's! It was cool hanging with you and the All Star Crew at the Daytona show. I've learned over the years to expect the unexpected at shows and you won't be disappointed in the end!! That's how it goes sometimes? Glad to know you guy's made it back safe. Good times my friend!

Yeah, in the end we didn't build our cars for a score sheet. You and I both know that we aren't your typical cookie cutter cars. Cars like that pink celica really got to me. Our class was a wide spread of cars. Scott Buwalda's skyline and Mario's IS got well deserved wins. Honestly I don't think my belonged in the Ultimate class. I don't have fiberglassed door panels, FI under the hood, extreme body work, etc... Those types of cars are much higher dollar builds and a lot more work done to them.

I think my car is more of a higher end mild class car. Oh well, weekend is over now. I got to see a lot of new faces and meet up again with old friends. It was a great weekend and I got to debut the car. It got a lot of positive reviews and that is all that I can ask for.

We have a few things lined up for the car. Keeping my fingers crossed CL was reppin it up at SBN can't wait till the next show.
