Import Car Show on TV tonight (10:30pm)

Just wanted to remind anybody who's interested ...

Hi-Rev Tuners is on tonight (every Sunday) at 10:30pm on Speedvision (or SpeedChannel). Here's the link for tonight's show ..... there's a segment on a guy with 19" rims on his 2000 Civic.

But what the hell is this? Focus with VTEC??? I hope this is a typo... [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

did someone say TNN??? That is everything that is not Honda.


Look at what type of show they play on TNN. It should be called AMC(American Male Channel) and not The Nashville Network.

What do you mean break into TNN? Speed Channel is a separate cable channel you can get from your cable supplier. And all they show is cars, racing, bikes, tuning, etc.

I think the name of this channel recently got changed from SpeedVision to SpeedChannel ( link ).

There used to be an import car show on TNN (sponsored by Meguiars I think ) with a super annoying host. This show was even ricier than Hi-Rev Tuners and was pretty much a joke. At least with Hi-Rev Tuners they have some fairly good-looking hostesses (Ann Poonkasem and Katrina Fraze).

You mean to tell me that after their brilliant "Let's Explain VTEC" segment 2 weeks ago that they're still clueless about what VTEC is?? [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

Those hosts are super annoying. Have you noticed how the guys sentences always break up, like he has to stop and think of every two words. The show is a bit on the ricey side but I still watch it[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

It's on the Speed Channel. I think you need some kinda extended cable package in order to get. I doubt a regular cable package would give you this channel.

It's on at 10:30pm Eastern...... 9:30 Central ..... 8:30 Mountain ..... 7:30 Pacific : schedule

Nope, he's right... Ford has something called Zetec. And yes, it is a rip of VTEC.

Any of you catch the show? Some pretty nice cars, and that hostess Katrina Fraze ...

Ya, that "BMW" Civic was pretty sad ... it really makes all Civics look bad. The guy did a lot of work and spent a lot of money, but it looked terrible.

Did you see some of those sound systems in the trunks? OMG ...

Yeah I saw that BMW Civic, it was a cool idea, but IMO it looked like crap, but hey each to his own.
I still cant stand the camera work as well as the guy who hosts it, the chicks seem to know more than him, I dont know if he can even speak english, I know there are guys on this site that could do the job better than him anyday, I think his uncle got him the job on the show.
Did you hear him try and pronounce "Altezza" LMAO [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]
That show is soooo sad, but hey there is no other ones so I guess its ok.

Ya, it's not the best in terms of production quality, but it's the only one out there so far. And they do show quite a bit of stuff in just half an hour.

And I have to agree that those shaky camera shots are too much. I think they're trying too hard to make the show look cool by twisting and turning the camera. JUST KEEP IT STILL DAMMIT! ... so we can see the stuff properly!

Yeh I gotta agree the guy on that show totally sucks a$$, the chicks on the show are about as dumb as him when it comes to rice but at least they are eye candy and can speak english properly.

Yep, no complaints about the chicks though, just that they should be wearing less...... [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Welll, at least someone's trying out there to give customization bigger exposure - It's a small start, but a start none the less...
