They love me, they really love me.

On a serious note thanks to those who voted for me. :tree:

[K_Mans_TSI]

*sigh* Is there going to be the "most runner up without ever winning" prize at the end of the year?

[gSx-LeX]

Congrats Kyle, you deserve it!

[french_hustler]

Congrats brother.

[mavisky]

Judging by the current winners I'd say your best bet is to buy a 1g eagle talon, stick a front mount on it, and then modify the front bumper in some fashion.

[Red1991TSI]

Congrats Kyle! Don't worry Kurt, there will be a most first loser award at the end of the year.;)

[turbo4g63t]

Very nice car and congrats!!! It looks like you put tons of time and effort into that car.

[jordan080303]

GJ Kyle, way to represent NE Indiana!

[drifte]

Wow, I've been out of the scene for a while. That car has really come along way since I last saw it! congratulations.

[greenstreak]

Finally a bit of recognition for all of that work that you have put in over the years. :)

[razordsm413]

Nice car bro, man makes me think of what my first 1gFWD would look like if i didnt spend over 20k in 5 other dsm's over the years.

[DSM Loki]

Did you really need to bring this thread back for that?

Check the post dates next time.

[mavisky]

I'm actually trading him turbos, so he was probably just looking to make sure I was who I said I was.

No longer autocrossing the car, just a fun weekend driver. Our local region sort of went in the crapper lately.

yup :rolleyes: its also good to see he still owns the car

[123abc]

What made you switch to a 90 rear end? The car looks great.

[mavisky]

With a side exit exhaust I grew tired of the cutout in the rear bumper for the exhaust.
