    About 630pm. You were with a Golf R32 and a Focus. I know you saw me. Just wondering if you're on here. Sweet car...wish I could've gotten a good look at your wheels.

    No I know that much. That was just a general "WhereTF did that come from?"

    the title of the thread, my first thought was 'VX-9 has a Hawkeye?'

    As VX-4 and VX-9 are famous for painting their test/eval aircraft black.

    Yep...Im on here. Thanks for the compliment. What exhaust do you have? Sounds great!

    Here's a few shots of the wheels. Got these pics over the weekend at Road Atlanta.

    Nice, I like the rims. I'm guessing rotas? Your car's stance is quite aggressive. I like it. Kind of what I'll be going for once I have the scratch for it all.

    You'll be disappointed in my exhaust setup. I have an Invidia catless downpipe with a custom 3" catback. I had the cat-back made at a good ol' boy muffler shop for about 250 bucks...its crush bent aluminized steel but the way its made it flows really well. It had ZERO bends before the rear axle. I used a 3" straight through Magnaflow muffler so that the volume wasn't quite so ridiculous. Its still practically a straight pipe...no resonator or anything. When I had the stock cats it was the perfect volume. Now its loud as hell. I keep wanting to quiet it down with another muffler or something but every time I drop it into third on an on-ramp, the rumble and rasp mixed with the singing turbo are just too much, and I wait another month. It doesn't sound like any production aftermarket exhaust I've ever heard. Its MEAN AS HELL from the outside, too...or so I'm told.

    Wow...that got long...lol.

    Your car sounded great too...what exhaust setup are YOU running?

    The wheels are actually Work XD-9s (18x9). Your the first person to say the stance is aggresive...I usually get "when are you gonna lower it". I think it rides great, and handles even better just to be springs. The exhaust is TurboXS with a standard (Magnaflow) muffler (catless).

    Oooh...sorry for guessing rotas....I feel like a tool now. Sometimes I hate rota for what they've done to real wheels. But I also love them because they're easy to find and inexpensive. :unamused: I'm the reason GReddy went under. Me. I did it. :wtc: lol

    What springs are you on?
