I've been in that sexy bitch before!!

Awesome profile Skippy.

Awesome profile Skippy!  The TL-S wheels look amazing.

Very Clean Sedan! The drop from the Neuspeed Super Cup Kit is perfect.  Can't wait to see what kind of numbers your hybrid will put down!

You seriously need to post more pictures of your car... I had no idea you had a cf hood and trunk until now!  C'mon man, get with the program!  :D

Nice profile skip... I'd like to see more pictures also!

Time to update your profile Skippy.  Your ICE set up is outdated.

dude....everything is outdated in this profile...

I know.  I just updated mine and there were a lot of changes.

Skip, the ride is stealthy, yet clean. Aren't you building a motor or something?

Nice profile Skippy! Love the performance orientation

Coñaso, I've been in that sexy bitch before too!!!

Me ridding shotgun with Skipp…

Wish I was out there when Piero went down, Skip you coming up to NYC in May? Is it still happening?

Skip we want more recent photos..

If you are going to be in NY in may maybe we should move the April NECM meet to may so you can attend?

I'll get some pics when I'm down there in a few weeks.

Very clean ride Mr. Skippy! ...and thanks for that write up on the TSX IM DIY.

Skippy, I'll be there when Tim visits if that's okay. LMK

Looks good I like it...diggin the lip kit especially

Skipp is killing them!

Conaso! Great picture :) I'll have to update this bizznatch now that I'm out of school for a couple of weeks.

Fixed it for you Skip. Next time hit alt 164 and you'll get it.  

Coño! Now I can say it correctly!

LOL. Perfect dude!

skip, whats your overall rating on your thermal r&d muffler? i have a magnaflow 14829 that is too loud for my taste and trying to find something a little more quite.

I've always rated their mufflers very highly.  Here's the deal.  I have 2.25" pipe from the cat back with no resonators.  Funny thing is, my exhaust is super quiet from the outside but it's somewhat loud on the inside.  It's the weirdest thing...It's very deep and has zero rasp.  It drones but not obnoxiously at highway speed.  It's a pleasing sound but gets annoying after a while.  A resonator should fix that little issue.  If not, it sounds perfectly good without resonators.  Many people including Tim, Scott, Milan, Piero, JT, Chris, and Rusty have ridden with me and they all comment on how wonderful my exhaust sounds.

good info, i might have to try it out.

That's a confirmed approval. Skip's car sounds pretty damn good, especially for a 4-banger, which are easy to screw up.
