Re: NOPI, MD May 17-18
 

No, I won't pass tech until I install my battery kill switch. I also have to get a damned helmet lol.

Re: NOPI, MD May 17-18
 

Re: NOPI, MD May 17-18
 

dude I have no idea how your car beat out mine. Judges:tdown:

Re: NOPI, MD May 17-18
 

smoke, throw some pics up

Re: NOPI, MD May 17-18
 

I would guess it was that dark grey crx. How? How much power are you putting down. What do you have done in your interior? There's probably alot of reasons. Way to hate and be bitter :tdown::_disgust:

Re: NOPI, MD May 17-18
 

Easy... Im not hating dude. Props on havin the only turbo EM2 I've ever seen. :tup:

Re: NOPI, MD May 17-18
 

I guess I misunderstood how they judge cuz your doors were closed just like mine(which they said gave you stock points if they weren't open). And I never knew power mattered in a show.

Re: NOPI, MD May 17-18
 

It's cool. Your post came across a little arrogant. Thanks. No, they judged every aspect. I was there when the judge walked around my car and had the windows down, he saw my interior and he saw my dyno chart on the laptop, I showed it to him. Most people want to walk around at a car show and all and that's cool but I'm in it to compete and I won't leave my car if there's a chance I'll miss the judge.

But yeah, judges take power into consideration. If you have a single cam and it's boosted but the judge has no idea what it's putting out vs. a single that's breaking 350, they'll definitely look at that. It's not just what parts you have but what you've achieved with the setup.

But my entire car is fully done from front to end. There isn't really anything that's been overlooked or is missing.

Did you take 2d?

Re: NOPI, MD May 17-18
 

whats 2d?

Re: NOPI, MD May 17-18
 

2nd place at nopi....

Re: NOPI, MD May 17-18
 

no I didnt place at all:confused: I dont know man? I missed the judge, went to take a piss. BTW is there any way I could convince you to take the pics of my ride off the net?

Re: NOPI, MD May 17-18
 

Yeah, sure. Why though?

Re: NOPI, MD May 17-18
 

cuz there are no pics of my car anywhere on the net and I kinda like that. When people see it on the road they've never seen it b4. And they're like
"OMG, is that your car?" instead of "Oh, Ive seen that its all over the net"

I'm weird but I'd greatly appreciate if you delete them from the page. Thanks man.

Re: NOPI, MD May 17-18
 

Anything faster than 14 needs a helmet, I can see that, but what's this with the kill switch?

Re: NOPI, MD May 17-18
 

Battery relocation, son!

Re: NOPI, MD May 17-18
 

They didnt give me any shit about it...

Re: NOPI, MD May 17-18
 

You went out to MIR, right? I was out at Capital. The tech let me run but he told me I needed to make sure I had the switch next time I went out. It's in the NHRA rulebook.

Re: NOPI, MD May 17-18
 

NHRA and IHRA are different and have different rules. never heard of capitol but apparently they're NHRA. Also why at NOPI@MIR pros were only exhibition cuz MIR isn't NHRA sanctioned. Its all idiotic if you ask me.
