The pictures above show the car with the new Konig's on it. They are 17" Konig Imagines with 215/45/17 Sumitomo HTRZ II tires. The suspension has also been improved with H&R Sport Springs and Koni adjustable struts. The windows have also been tinted, with 20% on the rear window and rear doors and 35% on the front doors.

I have done extremely well at all the audio competitions that I have entered. In fact, the car was undefeated in its class through 2001 and 2002, at least until I got to the 2002 IASCA World Finals to defend my world title. Here are my results:

SLAP Expert Street
I was only able to compete in one SLAP event this year (same as last year) since I was the coordinator for all the SLAP events in Illinos. Unfortunately, 2 things happened at the Championships... First, I arrived at the show with a blown SQ sub. Not sure how or when it happened. Second, the Expert Street class for SLAP is an open class so I had to compete against the 601+ watt vehicles. I finished in 3rd place at the event as a result.

Of course, the best thing that happened during 2003 with the car was that I finally got a feature in a magazine. My car had a 5 page feature in the October 2003 issue of Car Audio & Electronics magazine which can be viewed online by clicking here

2004
IASCA Street X 1-600
Spring Break Nationals Champion
Steel Valley Regional IV Class Champion
IASCA World Finals (ever have one of those weekends... I did...)

SLAP Expert Street
This year I finally was able to enter some local SLAP events since I was no longer the Midwest event coordinator for SLAP. I entered 2 local events, and won my class and "Best Of Show - Sound Quality" at both of them. Other results from major events:

Steel Valley Regional IV Class Runner-up
SLAP Championships - 3rd place (out of 6)
I was the only true 1-600 watt car there. All the other entries were 601+ watts, but with SLAP's class structure there isn't a split between low and high power. One other item to note: Although I had the 3rd highst sq score in the class (129... the first two tied at 135) I had the fourth highest Street SQ score at the entire event. Talk about a tough class!

MECA Custom+ Class
Spring Break Nationals Class Champion
Steel Valley Regional IV - 4th place (out of 7)... not really sure what happened here because 2 of the three that beat me were also in the event's main "Top 40" competition on the same day and I beat them rather easily. I also should note MECA only used one judge instead of their normal three judge average at this event.
MECA Finals (ever have one of those weekends... I did...)
