first off i would like to thank all the guys that came to the show to visit us i-club guys there, all of our cars, and i mean it, were looking spectacular, juno your interior is really looking good, i loved how bruces stage 4 setup was and that harness bar and takata harnnesses, damn, carlo, when you get your car running right, i know you will do something in perfomrance class! and effrems looking good with his display, heck he took home a 6 foot tall trophy for his team for display! well, thanks for everyone that came, it was really fun, and i make new friends every time, especially tila nguyen

 

DOH JGTC is today

 

hey if you read mines Andrew i thank you on top of this page.... and i also gave you the congrats for your winnings....

 

dissapointed my dad (bruce) didnt place for anything =/ ..btw i painted his intercooler :-D hahaha

 

i really thought some of us should have taken something at least in the four door mild class, all the subarus were taken out of that class for some reason? i don't know why i know like fifth place four door went to some regular civic, and thanks effrem you got a huge *** trophy

 

The orange one? If so, why is it in the mild class? It was pretty wild to me

 

damn tila was there? now i gotta shoot myself for not going. anybody got pictures of her? please post. lol

 

no his was the black one

 

Cars were looking good guys... maybe next year if I ever get all the parts I have for me car on I will enter just for the hell of it.

STiNightFall , thanks for the tips on the lights

 

They need to revamp the entire judging system. I think the true definition of show cars means pretty and fast and it is this combination that should win consistantly. Most of the winners couldn't get a speeding ticket on the quarter mile. And can someone please explain to me why screens are worth five points each. My turbo alone cost more than most cars entire screen set ups.

 

i know exactly what you mean man, my dad spent so much on everything on his car and has so much to show for, but i guess the judging is somewhat biased. they gotta bring judges from the mainland that have no idea on hawaii's scene and who drives what.

 

most of the judging at this show was local judges, and thats how it should be, because local judges understands the style of how we are in hawaii, and that is a clean JDM car, last car show was a locally hosted, but judged by mainland guys, and one example, is my friend with his infiniti i30 which took nothing. he has everything converted to a Japan Cefiro, and he didn't take anything, how rare is that? to have a Japan Cefiro, i bet some of the judges don't even know what the hell is a cefiro, and oh by the way, its also supercharged. this show he took two trophies home, best infiniti and best 4 door mild. what i don't get in this show was how come none of the wrx's/2.5rs's didn't take anything in the four door class??? did we all just get booted out of the category because we would have rocked all those civics? i sure don't know what was up with that. But, as usual, everyone has their own taste, for me, i like it very clean and well put, i belive that everything should look like it fits on and is should be there, especialy my sounds, right carlo? i liked the judging for this show, well maybe its because i took best subaru, but i support local judging, even tho my first show, i lost to my friends 2.5rs because it was local judging. some people can throw a lot of money into their car, but it should matter on how it turns out looking like, if the judging is on who put the most money in their car, then it wouldn't be fun anymore. i'll try post up some pics soon, i dind't take much hopefully hangy can post some up?

 

Yeah, I don't think it should be ALL about money...it should be a combo of money, execution and overall appeal.

 

haha, our whole team combined with a total of 19 cars toook only 5 trophies, me with best subaru, Les with Best Race car and best performance with his Buick Grand national, Earl , best engineered vehicle with his Bike, and our whole team, best team participation, there were some shockers on who didn't get anything like, dave with his vette didn't do anything, and also Cedric with his supra.
