So our first COTM winner is Jimmie! Congratz homie and well deserved! I asked Jimmie to write me a lil paragraph or two describing his car, a little of how he felt winning etc… This is what he had to say;

“Wow, guys. I’m a little embarrassed but alotta flattered. I haven’t really done a whole lot to the car. The wheels were the biggest purchase. They’re Wagen Wheels’ WW1 model. They measure 18×8.5 +45 up front and 18×9.5 +48 out back. I’ve always liked the LMs but since I can’t afford the real thing, these were the next best option. Tires on ‘em are stock. I need to go narrower in the front to clear the fender a little better and to go a little lower.

As most of you know, the cup kit came off the Candy White Hype. MR springs on Koni adjustable shocks/struts. These went on the car two weeks after I bought it. My Wife got to drive it to school in stock condition once to show it off before I tore it apart. The suspension is great. Full soft settings all around and feels near to stock. I’m going to dial up the front to help alleviate some of the rubbing in turns.

Other mods are just little trinkets like lighting (LED interior, LED fogs, blackened side markers done at a Wednesday meet), boost gauge on the column, and soon to install the Soundstream 12″ sub and amp in the rear.

I bought this car because I was jealous that my Wife got a new car and I liked all the bells and whistles. The Hype began losing performance, down from 22psi to around 15psi. I figgered it was due in part to the cam follower or the Greddy BOV or the BSH PCV fix or a combination of the three. I just saw this as an out to get into a new car. So I began brainstorming for a very long time about leaving the Hype and what I might want to replace her. So after 24 seconds my mind was made up. I initially wanted the Shadow Blue Metallic but it’s super difficult to find in a four door with options. That left me with Carbon Steel Gray. Not really a bad second choice.”

So congrats to you sir!

Onto the pictars!!
