Won a trophy at a car show in CT today, lmao - 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center

Talk about last minute!!!!

So yesterday Morning I completely disassembled my throttle body to replace the shaft seals with new ones (my last boost leak), didnt have any dielectric grease for the new ones so I picked some up last night. around 11pm I was 75% complete and gave up for the night (too dark). I got in the house around midnight and was browsing the web and stumbled on this:

I thought nothing of it, and said to myself I bet I could win something. I woke up 6am today and finsihed my TB (pulls nice now, no boost leaks). I said fuck it, packed a bag and headed to CT (2hours 15min drive for me). I didnt post because it was last minute obviously, and it was like 2 hours from gate openeing. Anyways, I got there, about 300 cars total, domestic and imports....a subaru club had a ton of wrx/sti's there. Basically this show they just mixes all domestic and imports and gave a couple top awards away, but gave 50 trophies away from 1st place to 50th place on overall "everything".....I came in 4th place overall

Decent size trophy

I didnt bring my camera, cause again this was last minute and i was bored....but got some on my camera phone (bad quality), mostly of just my car

This was the main area/stage (you can see the trophies)...i took this when i first got there..it was packed by end.

Have you done any other additional mods since you won at WPI? I remember examining your car then, but the under the hood pics now seem slightly different for some reason. Anyways, sharp looking ride.

Yes, and I am not done. I'm polishing and chroming everything...been going crazy with it lately. I'm expecting a bunch of stuff in the mail all polished and chromed anyday now. Making my engine more bling bling
