i think this gonna be a an FF meet.
My friend said "FF mean F*cking Fakers! and FR stand for For Realz!" "also AWD mean ALL WEAK DRIVERS!" lmao! even though he owns an accord which is an contradictory to what he have said. I find that ironic and funny.

So who entered their car into the show? It would be great to see more RX7's at the show.

I entered with a group who knows one of the managers for this gathering which promised to give us a good area but personally I rather be parked with a car that I.....respect. Like an RX7. Plus after all it is a Japantown Show it would be great to park next to a White TII S5. If you know what I mean.

last year all the RX-7s were scattered everywhere, they didn't care. Plus we got there hella early, and we sat at Safeway for hours, while they let in all the hondas and 240s. Not a pleasant ordeal, especially while trying to leave. So yeah, I didn't bother to register.

Just got back. It was definitely more bigger and packed than last year's and the year before. And there was probably only like 6-7 RX7's there. :p

Yeah, I saw that vert with the Amemiya front end too. It was hot!!! But I wondered why it didn't have an FMIC with that huge turbo.

That's my buddy Dominic. He's waiting to put in his Vmount. I'll admit it is ghetto rigged right now though.

t66 IIRC. should be badass once the vmount is done and everything is all tuned. I had to sell him so many parts just so it could make it there today lol.

i went... not bad for a car show since my buddy knew dom he let us in and show my buds car for free. a stock 91 mr2 i say it was worth it. got to the safeway parking lot at 730 and few mins later went in.. the gas fumes are still in my head. everyone was burning rich or somethin. and this white accord... sounded so sick i think the timing was wayyyy off.. it was farting and stalling hah. poor accord... more hondas that anything. only 4 rx7s 3 with rotaries all turbochared. gotta bring in my fb to rep the first gens lol anyways heres some pics:

I saw some RX7's outside. They had a full garage sign up when there were plenty of spaces there, although towards the end of the lot. Saw a pink TII FC try to get in, and another white S5 that got denied. Saw a silver and MB FD too circling around.

When I left, they finally took off the sign, and let more Honda's in...
