Another question though, could you elaborate on your sound system? I saw the little blurb in your sig and I'm curious.
I used to compete in Sound Quality competitions all the time. I competed with the system in this car, as it sits today, starting in May 2001. The five titles I have are:
2001 IASCA World Champion - Pro Street 1-600 watt class
2002 SLAP National Champion - Pro Street 1-600 watt class
2002 MECA National Champion - Master Class
2003 IASCA World Champion - Expert Street (a/k/a StreetX) 1-600 watt class
2005 SLAP National Champion - Expert Street class (open power)
From 2001 - 2003 it was definitely one of the top competition vehicles in the country, if not internationally. A few of the larger events those years would have an extra day of competition for the class winners, runners-up and select other "wildcard" qualifiers. I placed as high as 4th in these Open class "Best of the Best" competitions that had 25 to 30 or more cars competing in them.
I retired after the 2005 competition season, but now the car audio scene is nearly gone unfortunately.
Here is the Car Audio & Electronics magazine feature on my car from 2003...

...but you should have at least washed the car first :laugh:.
I probably should have...
but you weren't supposed to notice that I have driven in the rain since I washed it last. True story.
Very nice. What kind of wheels are those? They look soo good on Tours.
They are Konig Imagine (silver) 17" wheels.
