Well went there with the digicamo rx7. The "judge" one guy, didn't even know what a blooming rotary was. There were a whole 3 mazdas, mine an appears to be stock red fc and a stock rx8 that had wheels and a wax. The rx8 won best mazda, my car had the most attention aside from 3 true showcars. IFO is lame and for ricers.


edit: How the hell can an IMPORT face off have a best domestic category? Also my friend lost best nissan with a clean R32 to a stock 200sx.

Same guy with the RX8 that won best Mazda at last show? Lame! Lol!

I was driving through town when people were coming back....must have been like 10 civics with fart cans, "cut" springs, and general ricer-ness pass by me within 15 minutes.

The Winter turn out was weak...how was this turn out?

Edit: 1 judge? Really? Weaksauce!

Sux. When Tom won best Mazda, there were 2 judges, one that talked to Tom and I about our cars..he said he would never swap a v8 in a rotary....and then Tom won...hmmmm...now that I think of it...

Anyway, sorry it didn't turn out so well. I'd ask for the point sheet to see how many points they gave you for zip ties.

Seriously though, I think you'll get a lot of press/media coverage at Gator Nationals.

The GT wing is damn near impossible to find for under $1000. I think I'm going to get brakes next.

I don't know why G'ville can't have decent import models. You would think there would be some talent in this town. Same goes for Hooters Gainesville.

You want to talk about lack of talent? Just go to Cafe Risque.

Edit: Eddie...do you want to take a chance on a wing from my place? I'm thinking about grabbing a bumper and hood for testing and the factory is suggesting I sea freight them as air would be $$$.

No min for me on those parts. It might be best for me to find someone who can ship via sea freight in a partial container or something. Generally takes about 11 days across the sea then 5-10 in customs in NYC. Figure 30-60 days to receive them.

Wait a minute...Eddie I thought you had a Feed wing?

Have the FEED wing but Mark has me wanting a low GT wing. I don't see one in the catalog but how do you think the fit on the hoods are..?
