Reflection on Import fest...

Aight, pretty decent show... well pretty good show... no it was GREAT! I loved it. Almost as good as Dark nights, Almost... but we know nothing can really compare. Although I was promised a skyline, the closes thing I saw was a eagle talon With the R34 [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG] conversion, close enough. I was mostly spending all my time at the PE booth talking to those guy's who own the turbocharged 2002 Si. He said it's a pain in the ***, all the wireing and stuff. He running 8psi. Well Whoop de do basil! No they were pretty nice. They said on the dyno it did like 220hp at 8psi... better than I thought . I asked them if they knew were to get internals, and they didn't, I guess I am 2 steps ahead of them . Anybody see that orange 7th gen... the black one with a CF hood... or how about the 7th gen with the Slipstream R sticker on the front. Anyways what did you guys think, to much rice??? to much muscle??? TOO many BEAUTIFUL GIRLS![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]. Half of my taping was of some of those models. Anybody see that girl in that pink short dress. What a skank. . So what did you guys think?

REDVIC, remember that dude, that was behind you in the summer at Sparta, black 2 door, with the wing and NOS?? anyways he was there and is sponsored by 5Zigen......his car looos sweet too!

The show was awesome, but it was too much rice.....custom paint is nice (like Cue's) but the stuff there was a little overboard. The turbo VIC was sick, and I almost bought the BC kit for $850...thats a good deal.

i was upset that i didnt see a skyline. they said that one would be there but oh well. i enjoyed the fashion show, the speedorama booth, the maxboost booth and the booth beside the stage. holy headlight conversions! muahahahah

yeah the orange, red, black and turboed 7thgens were sick!

there wernt alot of cars compared to last year, but there were alot of vendors. and talk about packed! i thought i was at a club or somethin. yeah the show looked sweet from my window at the hotel room. too bad i didnt bring a camera.

oh yeah i was shocked kardinal was there. i seriously didnt know, or forgot. . . soemthing like that.


overall for a dec show it was good.

I'd like to thank all those for stopping by the Slipstream Revolution Inc. booth.

3 competitors in Team SlipstreamR took home four trophies.

3rd place for Best 7th gen Civic coupe/4-dr (Black 7th gen with the CF hood)
1st place for Best JDM (JDM front end Integra Type R)
4th place for Best 94-01 Integra (JDM front end Integra Type R)
1st place for Best 88-91 Civic (purple Civic hatchback on the field)

There weren't enough cars, nothing like last year. But last year's parking lot layout was the worst.
This time I liked the fact that they turned off the lights instead of dimming it like last year.
Attendance was great.
Some people had expressed that the show was too small and could finish it in a couple of hours.
I thought it was really small too.

The PE turbo 7th Gen was right beside our booth, I had a chance to talk to him, but I got a different story. Basically I was told...

Stock Internals
All piping custom done in Cali (BS! and if they did... what a waste of money)
t304te turbo
added injectors
tial WG
greddy BOV
spearco IC
standalone fuel management (forgot which one)
MBC
un-tuned running at 5psi apparently produced 240 to the wheels? I think they were just telling everyone something new.
He also mentioned the exhaust wasn't done for the turbo yet, and they had a no-name exhaust on the end.. I remember it being the same one they had on before the turbo... so i'm guessing he meant they didn't upgrade the piping and probably running a 2.25" cat-back, stock cat?

Either way, much props... they SAID... $5500USD for parts alone..?!

As for the show.. I showed up at 7 after my exam, stayed till around 11.. after last years flop, i'm glad they had better judging, meaning trophy winners were alot more spread out and deserving. The layout was ALOT better!!!! and they had alot of entertainment going on upfront. The lights were turned off instead of just dimmed letting people show off their lighting... good move.
There weren't too many cars this year, but since it was in december, alot of people saved the best for last... coming out with totally new setups and toys.

Oh, and that old talon with the skyline tails was silver (gunmetal?) I couldn't tell.

woohoo 1fynegirl won! And too much rice? It's a show! common.. but the JDM class guys came out too

my camera died while I was fiddling around with it to turn off flash

the show was kind of dull....... even with all the blasting of music and models walking about on stage, the main attraction of the show [cars, and where was GT-R34?] just werent up to par.

glad I didnt have to shell out 20 bucks to get in.

black one with cf hood, I saw, gold Heidfield rims right? there were a few nice 7th gens.......... all on the 200 level.......... the buddy club kit on 7th gen coupe looks so nice in person..

Yah that guy at the booth was full of ****. 225whp at 8 psi was a little far fetched, don't even think of coming close to 240whp and he would have to be running 14psi to run close to 275whp. And 5500 USD for the turbo my f**king ***, I paid $4 734 USD. And I have a way better set up then him. The stage 2 kit cost $3 300 USD, that comes with everything you need, intercooler and all. The kit is basically everything he has, no more no less. I'll kill him on the track next year. KILL! [IMG]i/expressions/demon.gif[/IMG]

Big: His car was not sponsored by 5Zigen, he only had some stickers put on, on top of that they were all bubbly. That guy is the BIGGGGEST loser ever [IMG]i/expressions/moon.gif[/IMG]. Pure moron. But I will give him props, his car did look good...

well i wouldn't go as far and say he is a loser....give the man his props..he has turbo...nobody else with a 7thgen around here does...and as for the price he gave you.its all about business....everybody has to make a living..and the price you paid wasn't too far off..i think he just gave that price...for a little extra profit of course......but dude...you better be running some sick times next year..cause you have been talking a lot of smack....just hope nobody else from other forums read your post..cause...you still have a lot of backing up to do...but from what we have heard..you are fast...but...now everybody knows it? wouldn't u just wanna suprise ppl and keep that sleeper attitude.....but don't forget...we all drive civics civics are a good car and i love my civic...but lets not make our car seem more than it really is....

Ok I wounldn't call this guy a loser,,,, I got throught Performance Edge for all my car parts and the price they gave is just an estimate..... People like me and many others who go there alot could probaby get a better price. Also its like only one of the FEW TURBO 7th Gen civics in Canada,,,, and if its not fast on the track, I think the RSX TYPE S there putting a turbo on will be.

AIIGHT! heres the deal with the lack of cars!

there were about ZERO cars from the states there!

mostly none of them showed up becasued they were snowed in. You know that big gap at the back near PACER. yeah that was for them. and yes the skyline was suppose to be there. it just never made it.

well dont fret, you got another 6 months till Importfest 2003 brings it !

itll be better fo sho.

Overall i thought there were some really nice cars, but compared to last year it sucked. Last year there were a lot more cars to look at. It's too late in the year to have a car show of that type and expect lots. I guess i was just so amazed at last year's show that i thought this years would be better. Oh well. Still some amazing cars.

I really didnt get to see much, I was out in less than 1 hr. around 200 once and a sweep of the field/100 level. I just walked past the PE booth... and all the others too, I was in such hurry.

as for 2k3 importfest, maybe next year same month? what was the other one that was held during May at the The convention center [CNE]

if it's 225 then it must be at 8 psi... cause when I talked to them at the show they said that at 5 psi they were on 173 HP at the wheel at 5500 rpm... somthing like that.
Show was alright... not as good as I thought it would be. Of course I was disappointed that there was no Skyline present. That was all I wanted to see to make my $20 worth. Good thing I didn't pay. altogether the show was...

I never said the guy at performance edge were loosers. The kid with the 7th gen on nitrous (5Zigen) is a looser. The guys at the PE booth were nice but 225hp at 8 psi untuned is not believable, a.k.a not possible. And everybody on the forum was told different. I give MADDD props for them and there civic, but the game is based on who has the bigger wallet and who has the time. Let the best 7th genner win. For those of you who think 13s are not possible in a D17 SOHC non Vtec, just wait and see. Hope to see you all in sparta in the spring along with PE's car. [IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]
