Gixxer, 7th isnt that bad in a group of 21. Id like to know where i placed, but im not gonna bother dude just to find out.

 
Rep Power: 336

does anyone know what i placed at? or if i even placed?

 
Rep Power: 280

Nope we found out by calling NOPI, I'd like to know what everyone from 7thgen placed, cause I know we had the nicest 7thgen Civics out there.

 
Rep Power: 267

Well jon, if you call, find out what i placed too lol

 
Rep Power: 280

Just get them to email the results from the 01-05 Civic street class. H280 was the class number.

 
Rep Power: 298

nice shots of all the cars, they all looked nice

 
Rep Power: 267

u know who i would email?

 
Rep Power: 282

i am curious as well....cuz that was straight BS......

just sent an email to nopiman@nopi.com....let's see how long it takes to get an answer. 'cuz I assure you, we're probably not the only ones that felt like we got hosed on this one...and since when does stock with wheels equal a "Street" class??

 
Rep Power: 336

like gixxer said it doesnt matter what we placed cause i think we had the cleanest 7thgens there (again like gixxer) some of the better presented cars there and we all had fun right? even tho we got hosed on the scoring i still say that weekend was one of the best weekends ive had in a long time. i dont know about you guys but im already looking forward to next year!

 
Rep Power: 246

LMAO! You guys sound like my 16 year old sister when she doenst win a beauty pageant.
"OMG How did that **** win?!?! Im like totally WAY hotter than her, Her parents must have paid the judges!"

You guys should be lucky you even have class's for the 01-04 civics because in California all Civics (All years) compete against each other. Meeting cool people and having a good time should always be the main goal, Winning isnt everything, Thats what i tell my sis anyways.

 
Rep Power: 322

Okay, when we spend 15k+ on our cars to compete we don't just do it for the friends. Granted, i did go there to meet alot of people and in which i made alot of friends. i'm there to compete, not pay $85 to show, $80 on a hotel, $100 in gas, etc to ****in take home nothing. This isn't your little beauty pageant.

 
Rep Power: 246

No need to take out your frustations on me guy This **** happens everyday to actors, models, people getting jobs, applying for school ect..... Of couse your going to be biased and think your the best but clearly you werent the best according to the people who were judging.

 
Rep Power: 255

^ You asked to be flamed by calling us 16 year old girls. People lost to an almost
stock civic. It's conversation for people that were there and saw the other cars in their class. If you don't won't to get flamed don't leave comments like you did, or just GTFO. Nice people>you.

 
Rep Power: 280

Dude, You weren't there and You have no idea what we were competing against not to mention what any of our cars look like, so for You to come in here and say that we sound like a bunch of girls is absurd. And no it wasn't just our class that was done like this. Look at the Nopi Nationals threads in the NOPI Forums and see how many other people are complaining about the same thing.

Gusto has a sponsored car,with a swap and boost, and Your gonna tell me that a mostly stock car is going to place higher? These judges did a 30 second walk around and You can honestly tell me that they judge all these cars fairly.

I used to live in California, and I've been showing since 1991. My truck was in Mini Truckin Magazine, I've been to Resolutions Car Show at Lake Perris, BonTon Car Show in Bakersfield and World of Wheels in Santa Maria all mulitiple times. I know what the shows are like in California.

And no one here said they had the best car, in fact there were a few cars there that were really nice in our class,and none of them place either, but after seeing what You get beat by, it does get quite frustrating.

I think Sunkist should have won best of show

 
Rep Power: 258

what you guys should do is either boycott Nopi or accept it as par for the course. I used to go to a lot of shows and judging is the worst part, its almost never done right and it never makes everyone happy. Its why different cars win at different shows. BUT I do agree that a stock vic should not beat drew, mex, gusto, etc. Thats an outrage. I just wouldnt go to Nopi Nats to show anymore. Hopefully they change it for the next show.

Rep Power: 280

Can't get the first link to work. Did You take pics of every car at the show? lol

 
Rep Power: 0

I competed in the 4 door street class. Is there any place where I can see where I placed. If I placed. I don't have much done to my car but I would like to know. There were other 7thgens like me that didn't park with the club. I parked by the constant entrance with the other hondas. Thanks.

 
Rep Power: 0

Rep Power: 322

UPDATE!!!!!! UPDATE!!!! They have now corrected more, ALBERT TJONG's score has been updated to first place too. So him and I now have 1st and 2nd place on 7thgen. Not bad now.
