I was thinking only retail cars. Cars that people have paid retail on parts and labor.

 

He means a shop car. Like the GST L or something like that.
that or a sponored car that the driver recieved all kinds of free goodies.


at least that is what I got from it.

 

Ok, got it. Thanks!

 

Sorry I have sun damage from being at race track all day.

 

so micheal is it still only 1 category?

 

1) edo sushi no longer even exists. its a sold business.
2) i am in no way sponsored by edo sushi. it was a family business.
3) i am in no way affiliated with edo the performance shop.

 

actually the only carbon fiber i have is the driveshaft and radiator shroud (that i can think of) seats are kevlar. oem trunk, oem hood, oem doors, oem roof, oem fenders. also front interior is full interior. in fact i have 2 amps still in the car. there is a thread somewhere on baic search for keywords "my car took a fat dump"

edit: actually when i weighed the car (lowest i had it was around 2700 lbs even) i had the volk ce28n wheels with 225/45/17 (wheels were 12lbs a pc). actually now i have 18x9.5 w/ 275/35/18 so i didnt consider that so prob in the high 2700s, almost 2800

 

thanks for the clear-up

 

ahhh... ok. either way. sick car.

I think I remember meeting you when we did that meet at edo. Good food.

 

including mine. lol.



thumbs up for building it up yourself

 

what no love for mommy and daddy built?

 

Who cares who it's built by. Post pics of your car. I'l nominate them for you.

I Nominate Ray's onemanarmy 04 Wagon cause wagons rule.
And... I Nominate Al's wicked cool gold on black 03 sedan. Gold on black is like caramel and chocolate, yummm.

 

I think he means no shop sponsored cars, ie: free parts, etc.

 

....Well to some of us just that alone can make you the best. "The best car" can mean a lot of things to different people. Not everyone likes extensive mods.. The most simplistic things in this world may be the very best to some.

Just thought I'd add my .02 in all of this. You can choose to agree or disagree but this is how I call it. It seems like this whole car show thing has taken a turn mainly because there are some who are changing the rules in the middle of the competition.

These were the rules that were stated from the beginning of the competition.

Nowhere does it state that the car needs to have extensive modifications such as engine mods. It states that as long as you have a subaru, nominated, and able to attend, then you're pretty much in. If so and so likes your car, then YOU'RE IN. I've been following this thread and it seems like this car show is no longer for i-clubbers. If this event is for us i-clubbers, then why is it when we choose to nominate someone, that nomination gets taken away from us? It seems like the main people are calling all the shots and changing up all the rules and it's not becoming fair.

I don't feel that this is an excuse...

I completely understand where you're coming from brucelee, it's just I feel that even if you're not able to come up with that many prizes, it doesn't really matter all that much, although it would be a nice additive. I think the fact that i-clubbers are being recognized for their car and all the dedication and hard work they put into their car is all some of us are after. Prizes aren't everything and I know it's a car show and yeah you should be able to get prizes, but if I was to try and enter this thing, I feel I'm doing it solely because I love my car and I just want others to see all the possibilities one can obtain with one's car if they just put their mind to it. Because of this car show thing, many i-clubbers are being recognized and to me, I think that just the fact that everyone is able to see the creativity everyone has put into their cars is rewarding in itself.

For example, no one liked xhengmanx's red mud flaps when he first got them, mainly because it was different. After more and more people started to see his car grow, more and more people began to like it. THAT is the point I'm trying to get at. One would criticize a person for being different but once everyone is exposed to it more, the more people begin to appreciate what's different. Now a lot of people are growing fond of the red mud flaps. This is only aesthetics too (not engine mods). Having this car show nomination helped him show everyone his work of art. And that in itself has become an inspiration for some to step outside the box and become creative themselves. That's what I feel is the true meaning of having this car show.

I'm not trying to step on anyone's territory, I just wanted to let everyone know and hope that they understand that this is all some of us really want.

 

i agree with oh 4 panda, it seems like the car show rules have been changing even after the rules have been already posted. some cars only had modification such as springs or wheels but yet they get looked over because they had too little mods. i thought as long as you were a subaru and were nominated, you can take part of the car show. so if there were too many nominations, we would all be narrowing it down to the top 5 and we would all vote for the top car anyways right?

i think as long as you are part of the show, then that will be to someones satisfaction. giving out a prize is just the icing on the cake.
