[Stormhammer]

haha I remember the blue Integra - I ALWAYS saw it at my local Kroger.

As for the WTN photo, the CRV in the far left I recall always seeing at my high school ( I was a sophmore ) picking up a sibling, and or driving into the neighborhood next to mine.

[XLR8NMR2]

Thats when IA was the shit.

b4 the noobs had to come in and fuck everything up

[yungdz]

man that brings back memories of hanging out with Bad Influence in Columbus back then. Why has the scene changed so drastically?

[quickdodge®]

I was thinking the same damn thing not too long ago....Trutfully blame it on the economy and blame it on the young bucks that just got into the game...

Man it's crazy how things used to be sooooo much fun...Not so much anymore...Time flies.

You must live by Russell rd/calvin davis/ Collins hill/20 somewhere...

Josh Used to Work @ the Kroger On Rusell Ridge @ the Cingular Booth that used be in there..

And the CRV used to be Icehouse's who use to live of Rusell Rd.

[Julio]

Not really.. There were more creative folks back then... I mean, everyone thinks now a days A honda/Acura drop on some Rotas or Slips with a lip is hot.. Now that I think is lame.. But it is what it is.. everything changes..

It does get boring seeing a bunch of Honda/Acuras rolling around that all look a like...

:lmfao:

[Jimmy B]

I found a few from the '01-'02 years

[boostedb16]

the only car's that i can remember from those days was a north carolina blue integra and a civic that was painted the same with flame's. i think they were brother's. do any of you have any picture's of those. oh and good idea on a thread QD. brings back some good memories.

[Doppelgänger]

Post #2, picture #3... If you know whos car that is, you're OG.

And yes, I know. I was there at that show that day too.....

[MINI]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

Im in heaven.

This thread kicks ass, I want more please!

[quickdodge®]

the only car's that i can remember from those days was a north carolina blue integra and a civic that was painted the same with flame's. i think they were brother's.

They weren't brothers but very good friends in the same club (Julio what was the name of that shit!!!). Josh Nixon had the Intgra and Tim ? had the blue Civic. Later, QD.

[ed_gm90]

I wonder what happenned to all these cars....lol.

[Stormhammer]

Correct you are :D

Yeah, that is true - I recall actually talking to the guy in the Cingular booth about his car back before I had my license. I really liked it for the fact that it was baby blue :lmfao:

I always remembered trying to figure out what the hell was in the back of the CRV. Turns out they were subs :lmfao:

[Stormhammer]

Also, I remember the blue Eclipse GST? I think it was that had the Supra taillights grafted in the rear.

From what I've heard, the next owner of the car really screwed it up :(

It was actually these cars that started to get me into the import scene.

Hell, first modified import car I ever sat in was after a football game @ CHHS. It was a '99? Civic SI ( SI blue as well ) with racing seats, the rear seats gone and replaced by a custom fiberglass enclosure of 4 12" subs? Guy liked Korn a lot, had mirrors on the underside of the hood.

[OG-Skinny]

That aint shit.. how bout some old school stuff. I'm talking SIGNGUY days when they were in lawrenceville. I gotta scan them..lol

[quickdodge®]

That aint shit.. how bout some old school stuff.

Actually what I posted was some old school stuff. This was several years after they did these cars. Later, QD.

[BobbyFresco]

Damn. Brings me back to days when cars were built with creativity and not slapped together with useless expensive "jdm" parts for the purpose of taking pictures and collecting internet nutswingers, all the while creating a false sense of accomplishment and egotistic bullshit, behind the expensive, useless "jdm" parts.

[cactusEG]

That white lude isnt bad at all...

That was one of my favorite civics .. Owned By Greg Chup. He post in here once in a while.. He's part of the International All stars.

He sold it long time ago to a young kid , who I heard totally jacked it up.

But before he sold it, He had a realy nice mild looking widebody, the stereo.. Beautiful car...

[quickdodge®]

You know what's crazy, Julizzle? And someone asked this earlier in this thread...about where are these cars now. Just about everyone of the "classic" IA cars were sold off by the builders/owners to young kids with mommy/daddy's money. And every single one of these kids with these cars (no lie) killed the cars. Not one of those cars every looked the way it did before sale date ever again. Later, QD.

Nopi 98

Talk about rice as hellllll.. hahahha .. I was 19

[quickdodge®]

Steve Is the name I was thinking of that had the same color car as Josh. Patrycia still has her Supra. I believe Hill's car is gone. I have a pic of Nitro's first car...pre-IA, lolol. But of all the cars that were sold off in that list, none are still on the road or in near as good condition. Later, QD.

[mike's02ls1]

I remember that show, Gary in parts help to get the show at my old work. I use to b a tech there. I miss those days...:(

[mike's02ls1]

What about pics from the Burrell tire shop days in Duluth off of buford hwy..

[MINI]

See this is the stuff I grew up seeing when I was little. I would be riding in the back seat and see them drive by (not these cars but in my town) and admire how awesome they were.

Then, when I finally get a car, the scene shifts to JDM.


...And now I don't fit in at all, haha.

[blacknightteg]

this is when it was hot

[civic95]

I used to drool over almost all those cars. Looking back I don't know what the hell I was thinking...

[JITB]

I see rej's neon in the first pic..:)

[yungdz]

They weren't brothers but very good friends in the same club (Julio what was the name of that shit!!!). Josh Nixon had the Intgra and Tim ? had the blue Civic. Later, QD.

Team ECI?

[Danzo]

I didn't really like these types back then and I don't like them now. Not sure why. I think there is just too much going on. I can respect the work that went into it though for sure :goodjob:

[DeeAOne]

like other said, this is what got me into cars. oh how things change..

[tdurr]

I didn't really like these types back then and I don't like them now. Not sure why. I think there is just too much going on. I can respect the work that went into it though for sure :goodjob:
x2

I had a friend who was building a eclipse and dropped 2grand just on a EVO 2 bodykit, looked it up then shook my head cuz it was ugly then..

[Thighs]

like others have said, this is the stuff that got me into imports, but ive always been more interested in racing and motorsports than the show scene.

[Deke]

I didn't really like these types back then and I don't like them now. Not sure why. I think there is just too much going on. I can respect the work that went into it though for sure :goodjob:

Same here. These kind of cars actually repelled me from the import scene initially. But like you said, I can respect the time that went into them.

Got any pics? Yeah Cody is the son.

[4uh8ers]

oh man. These were the heavy hitter cars back in the day. I remember seein a lot of these cars for the first time at a shop that used to be off Buford Hwy. I cant remember the name, Hybrid racing i think. Brooks worked there. They had a few crazy shows there. I still talk to icehouse, and he still has the crv at his house. These are the good old days

[quickdodge®]

Got any pics? Yeah Cody is the son.

I have no pics of the Burrell's meets. And Cody, lolol. He was a cool dude.


a shop that used to be off Buford Hwy. I cant remember the name, Hybrid racing i think.

That's right. But there weren't ever any shows there. Just meets all the time.

Later, QD.

[4uh8ers]

Thats what i meant. Thats where i saw half of these cars for the first time. I was 15 with my learners and i drove up there with my dad with me. I remember seein a lot of these cars being built at UAB when their shop was off cripple creek rd in Lawrenceville. My neighborhood was right behind there. I remember jeffs car when it was just yellow with a body kit. Sooooooo much money and hours went into that car. I would love to see it again.

[2turbo4u]

Funny how body kits were cool back in the day, now there for ricers on a PepBoys budjet.

[mike's02ls1]

I have no pics of the Burrell's meets. And Cody, lolol. He was a cool dude.

And yes, I know. I was there at that show that day too.....

He was a cool guy! Well, I don't know if it was him, or the kid he sold it to ( kind of punkish with piercings ) - I don't recall the side decals on it.

Kind of ironic that I recognize these cars and I wasn't even part of IA or knew it existed yet :D

[quickdodge®]

You still talk to the hyundai crew?

The Hyundai crew? Later, QD.

[SEAN]

I don't think Mike ever liked the Hyundai's though Brady, Nitro, Bryan, and myself all had one a few years ago...I miss my Tib...

I can understand that...there were a few in the mix...lol

[Kevykev]

Damn, That was my last Official Show, Never seen that pic. I remember the entrance was brutal it was hard to NOT scrape your bumper pulling in.

i'm gonna go cry myself to sleep now.

[yerrow]

pussy

[E=MC²]

wow bringin it back

[Dirty Octopus™]

damn. this is what i aspired to be like in 2003. but i never had the money to fullfil my dreams. :cry:

i had dreams of white leather interior white 17" wheels & a body kit (which is as far as i got) i never got to complete my interior.

my car ended up going down again deserpate times called for desperate measures so i sold my rims for dirt cheap and my bodykit.

but then during my slump i noticed times were changing in late 04 :dunno:

[Nitro]

good post Mike.....damn the memories....this is when getting together for the same common interest was fun :(

[Kevykev]

pussy

I know right!

[Jaimecbr900]

That's when shows were shows.

I remember being out of Paint Cleaner and Paul driving down to give me some.....in JACKSONVILLE, FLA. ;)

I remember at a show in Alabama where I walked by a car and really liked the music mix he was playing. Told him that I liked it, and he literally hit the eject button and handed it to me......that was Steve Kubon.

I remember many times where Patrycja has gotten down on her hands and knees to help me prep the car at a show.

I remember where entire huge canopies "walked" down the parking lot to be present when they called out trophies.....Wild Bill show back in 03 I think.

When cotton in the fender wells was cool, mirrored hoods, and clear tails were in.....when going to a show in the middle of summer and drinking beer with your buddies was the highlight of your week......when you meet someone's significant other for the first time when she takes the stage AT THE WET-T CONTEST AND WINS THE WHOLE THING....*cough* Paul *cough*......when NOPI NATS was a cool show to win at......Good times indeed. :goodjob:

Too bad it will never be like that again I'm afraid. Some of you guys would've enjoyed that so much more than what you have now.


P.S. Thanks Julio for having a pic of me in the OG memoirs post.......thanks buddy.....:2up::D

Man, i just took a trip down memory lane, and now i have the biggest smile on my face. I dnt know why the style of the cars should change the atmosphere of the show, or meet scene. I know there are a lot of noobs out there that dnt know whats up, but why let them keep us from having some fun like old times. Now i cant wait for summer to get here!

real post... And I dont have a pic of your car.. sad sad sad.. unless I over looked.

[Julio]

"WE" will never be like the old times.. why because thats life.. Some of Us just grow up, more responsibilities etc.


I enjoy cars.. I don't love cars. I have come to that conclusion. Some people Love cars.. But me, I enjoy them.


I made a thread in 03 where I talked about how the "show scene" was going to ROT and fall a part. I decided that Nopi 2003 was my last SHOW ever.. which it was.

I showed my car for 5 years..who knows how many shows up and down the east coast.. and When I quit showing, stripped my car, went to Mahdavi and they did my swap.. I only had the car for one more year after that.. Shit, Honestly I had never enjoyed that car like that one year alone.

Even though, After I made that thread on IA about how the show scene had it days and years numbered it stayed strong for 2 more years after that.. But by 05 we knew where it was going..

Now is dead and not the same.
There was a lot of competition back then, but at the end of the day, we will all "for the most" part, be cool..and still friends.

I look back and think, damn we were some idiots spending all that money on those lame ass cars.. damn, what a waste.. But you know what, Who Am I to judge.. I really couldn't, I was part of it.

Waking up at 6am to have a the car clean for a show at 9am that morning.. But mind you, we had spent the whole day before cleaning and waxing for the event.. crazy times indeed.

Back then it was more about the car and not the person.. Now you go to a meet and you see girls 1/2 naked and dudes trying to show off there gear or new phone or camera more then there car....

They drive in shitty ass Civic or 240's, literally with no paint, but have $200 pair of jordans, a $800 camera and $500 phone... and there $25 Green A-town hat to the side.. Is more of a fashion show now a days..

If they see me at a meet with slipper or flip flops I may get laughed at.. or made fun in one of the individual groups...

Is not the same.. why? Time is not the same.. Thats why I enjoy going to these Hot rods shows lately , because to most of them guys and gals out at those shows, is about the car, not them..

I also, enjoy going to the drag strip as well.

I never enjoyed drifting, cause I knew it was a fad.. there was a lot of hype when it starting blowing up in the states.. But where is it a now? Not as big any more.... hnmm...


I don't think it will never be the same, I honestly don't care if it does.. I know personally I'm not the same, so... it wont for me no matter what...

Even back then there was a difference : there were properly built cars and those that were not built right.... Of course for show..


What I like about all those crazy days and nights cleaning cars, shows and meets is, I meet a lot of cool people and some that till this days are still friends...and when we see each other is always a good 5 to 10 minutes conversation just catching up.. because I understand life is not what It was years ago... We grew up..Some got married with families now..

And in the middle of all that "controlled chaos " Importatlanta was born.

Honestly I'm not involved any more as I used to with events eh, sometimes, and if it wasn't for IA I would probably not be around any more.

So with that said, When if, IA ever vanishes of my hands.. I wont be around.. move on.. I got phone numbers to close friends and some of them do to..


So really, Life changes, Not the actual passion for cars.. The passion will be there for some... Is just some of us just have no other choice but to move on...

The new guys today will be feeling the same way in 5 to 10 years from now,
" all the good old days " at the point, some of us today may not even be around, shit, we may be driving shitty cars or better cars.. Life is like a Spin top.. You spin and spin and spin, but you will never land in the same place...

To me, is not even about cars anymore.. Is other things now that make more sense..


Anyways, enough of me rambling.. just thought I share what i thought about all this yiba yaba..

[VooDooXII]

Hah that CR-V is nuts. Interesting to see how styles have changed...how most people would claim to vomit at the sight of such cars now.

[4uh8ers]

Thats true talk Julio. Well put. I just wish we could sometimes just go back to those days tho. Some good memories

And in the middle of all that "controlled chaos " Importatlanta was born.

Honestly I'm not involved any more as I used to with events eh, sometimes, and if it wasn't for IA I would probably not be around any more.

So with that said, When if, IA ever vanishes of my hands.. I wont be around.. move on.. I got phone numbers to close friends and some of them do to..


So really, Life changes, Not the actual passion for cars.. The passion will be there for some... Is just some of us just have no other choice but to move on...

The new guys today will be feeling the same way in 5 to 10 years from now,
" all the good old days " at the point, some of us today may not even be around, shit, we may be driving shitty cars or better cars.. Life is like a Spin top.. You spin and spin and spin, but you will never land in the same place...

To me, is not even about cars anymore.. Is other things now that make more sense..


Anyways, enough of me rambling.. just thought I share what i thought about all this yiba yaba..
QFT :goodjob:

shit you aint the only one that would be quick to go to a meet in flops! :D

but yeah bro... i admire those days and what they stood for. me and Walker had a conversation about this one day. I'd like for it to get back to the days of the old where it was more than my car is better than yours because i have "ballin parts". back there it was cool to push the envelope and originate ideas of your own. now not so much.

times have indeed changed and so have styles. sure the styling of cars may never be as they were in 2000 but i hope to bring back the comraderie :cheers:

Julio, I think you took the words right out of 95% of the OG's mouths... What is quoted above, its true for me.. Im married, with a child, a great life, and cars jsut arent what thye were.. yea, i still like them, but i would NEVER dump the cash that i did back then into another, unless its a classic.

+1 to you sir, fo the quote, and for starting IA int eh height of "our" import scene

Wonder who is he screwing over now?

White Hyundai Accent? That was Scott Morgan (Morgasm on IA). I talk to him rarely and he told me he doesn't really keep up with his car anymore. It's just transportation now.

I have to talk to them. The female is my wife's sister. Later, QD.

Yeah car shit I seemed to remember good.... How about the Toys-R-Us days at the MOG? The car scene is nothing like it use to be, one thing is folks are getting dumber,and cops running everyone off good or bad..

[Jaimecbr900]

One more thing the new generation will never really see anymore......FINE women having a good time and partying with everybody.

I remember plenty of them that would give guys a run for their money drinking and doing wild stuff.

Like I said, I met a fine young lady when her then BF (now Husband) called her up and said, "Hey girl, get your butt up here and win us some money...".....and she did!:yes: That was the wet t-shirt contest on the back of a flat bed semi at the racetrack in Gainesville. They're some of my best friends now. Funny how things work out.

I never got to party at the hotel during the Nopi Nats, but I've heard the infamous stories. Those guys would stay up all night partying, but would get up bright and early to get their rides prepped to go in to Nopi Nats. True commitment back then. Don't see that much anymore. Hell, I dreaded freaking Pablo sticking his damn hand up my tail pipes and deducting points......fucker!!!! :2up::D Hey, but it made me clean my shiot the next time. He wiped his dirty fingers on my score sheet too......fucker!!!:D Another one of my boys too. Again, funny how things work out.

Good ole days......I miss them in a way. A lot more work, but a lot more fun too. :goodjob:

[mike's02ls1]

Good ole days......I miss them in a way. A lot more work, but a lot more fun too. :goodjob: Yep I was single making good money and living at home. So I had money to blow on my cars.....:)

[Bus Driver J]

Damn....
This is by far the greatest thread Ive ever read on IA. Real talk from real people.
Those days will never be relived, however, never forgotten. Those were to days of massive groups of friends getting together and helping each other for a common goal.
Not just within a particular club, but within the scene. X-Rated helping PI helping ECI helping International AllStars.
Its was a blast while it lasted. We all knew it wouldnt last long but we put forth all our efforts to do it.

Now to whore mine out, LOL

[Bus Driver J]

Yeah, that was the worst parking lot and getting the cars in the studio SUCKED!!
Photo shoot was awesome. I probably had the ugliest girl but she had the biggest tits.
Jimmy B. and Matt (Silver Beetle with flames) had a hot chick in their cars, if I remember right.

Thank you for that compliment. We can never forget where we came from in this hobby. Nor can we forget what we've done amongst ourselves. I don't think there will ever be another crowd of people to gather together with NOT ONE INCIDENT like ours. The MOG Toys R Us meets where we literally had over a hundred people every weekend with the cops only riding through to have their fucking pictures taken with us. Like you said, everyone helping everyone. Nowadays too many people have a chip on their shoulder and "something to prove." Later, QD.

Back in the day, stock wheels were on our cars no longer than it took to drive home and buy them from when we got the cars.. now the "cool" thing is to put a set of stock wheels on?? WHAT????

i didnt even keep the stock wheels on my suburban or tahoe, and jsut upgraded to big rollers.. i would never put a stock wheel on there, and call it "upgraded" LOL!

[Jimmy B]

Then come on wit 'em.......:D




I gotta find the CD they are on, and they ARE NOT work safe..

[blacknightteg]

i came into this hobby late. a buddy of mine who used to be on here had an old 89 prelude with a body kit and exhaust. he along with all the OG's and the way they built their show cars made me love imports the way i do now. Im young, not going to lie. only 22, i didnt get the chance to be in those days of xrated, prefected images, wTn etc. i wish i did. i came in at the but end of it. I see cars with body kits and and i still love them. cause honestly thats what its about. doing what you want not what your budy standing next to you thinks you should do.

Im with DO, i know thins will never be the same as far as style goes. but i wish the fun, brotherhood that everyone shared during that time would still be around. personally i don't like being around a lot of people on this site cause of the stupid shit that everyone takes personally off this site. does that make sense? no but shit happens. i dont know if any thing like what was back then will ever happen, but i hope it does.

[Paul_s]

slap to the face

[SEAN]

one of the nights I will always remember is racing Julio down at Commerce a few years ago...I barely beat him but we both gave thumbs up at the end...I too have grown out of the car scene being down in FL the last 9 months...it just ain't what it used to be years ago...

[JITB]

I remember all most of these cars, especially the accords, lol. I'm 25, and I remember seeing cars in a club that ALL looked different. Custom everything, everywhere. NOPI 2000/01 was awesome. No half stepping back then.

Props to the OGs, and those that continue to CUSTOMIZE their cars, not follow a trend that seems to supress creativity.

[quickdodge®]

That's a hypocritical statement, lolol. Everyone these days pretty much follows everyone elses trends because everything that can be done to most of these cars have already been done. There is really no room for originality now. Later, QD.

[wrekonize]

why are you guys getting upset those cars are riced out i'm just calling it the way i'm seeing it.....so its cool for you guys to rag on other peoples cars but when it come down to your or your friends car you guys cant take it.....fucken idiots thats the freedom of internet to expression your self as you please if i want to call it rice then fuck it....if you don't like it then dont post pics where people can give opinions about what they think keep them pics to your fucken self..........

one of those cars was mine, and that is what was "in" in 2000, 01, 02, 03 etc... Take a look at F&F, would a car that was built todya look like those? no.. but back then, thats was people wanted, so we built them like that... take a step back, and enjoy the history of the "import" scene and the history of IA

No hostility, homey. I wasn't picking at you. And I agree that there is always room for creativity. If you stay away from the Honda Civic or 240. A lot of this little kids don't realize that there are many other cars out there besides these two. Later, QD.

What makes you think I care what people think? If I cared, do you think I'd still be how I am on here? Come on, Boy. You've got to have some derivative of common sense in that otherwise empty head of yours.

About Us


Founded in November of 2000 By Brian Miller and Julio Morillo. The Idea was simple, Bring the scene together for one purpose, Our Love Of the Scene. The Site finally launched Feb 24th,2001, A date that I will never forget, it's like my 2nd Birthday, IA.COM is part of my life.It was a definate humble beggining, but with the support of major local shops, local Big boy tuners and Local Clubs, The name was known through the northern part of GA quickly. Shops Like Mahdavi Motorsports, Signguy, UAB and Clubs like Perfected Images, Xrated, people like Jeff Touswma,Greg Chup, Donnie Sukarome,Pablo Rodiguez, Josh Nixon are people that Backed and supported the new beggining for a change in the SCENE in GA today. I know these names and places sound very familiar. If not, you just started to be part of a Large Legacy.Some Of these names might no longer be associated with IA.com, But our respect and apreciation will never be forgoten.
We are so proud for what we have done, The change is noticible by miles. I have meet hundreds of people in the past couple of year, I wonder if that would have happened without IA.com? I know you have to, ask yourself that same question? IA.com has helped Shops,Tuners,Car clubs get bigger and more known through our Site and Forums. We have had alot of falls in the past, But we get up quick and managed to keep our heads up with pride.Now we are bigger and stronger,But without your support all this wouldve been a waste of your time and our time, It hasent and for that we thank you.

We will continue to strive and provide you with only the best we can with what we have and what we have is you the loyal supporter of IMPORTATLANTA.COM, what else can we ask for? Thats strong enough.

I would like to thanks each and everyone of you for your support over the past couple of year, it means alot to me personally and profesionally! Without you guys we are nothing! And for that you are considered friend for ever! LOVE YOU ALL

You sure? i could swear that her name was likle aria or somthing like that

after the shoot, she accually found me on myspace, and then moved to NY


accually, scratch that.. i was thinking of the girl that was nude on my car..


yes, the girl in the pic was FINE, she was in a getto hip hop booth right across from where we parked that year.. all weekend she was comming over and chilling with us, ive got more pix too!! LOL

[Frög]

Where's your old Lude ?

lol.. You have also moved on to bigger and better things

I agree, but my prelude was NEVER rice..

[speedminded]

Also, I remember the blue Eclipse GST? I think it was that had the Supra taillights grafted in the rear.

From what I've heard, the next owner of the car really screwed it up :(I bought a pool table from him. Can't remember his name to save my life...something Europeon. Started with an S maybe? Sin...I can't remember lol

I was at Icehouses house a couple years ago looking at pics of that pos CRV from back in the day. :screwy:

'00-'02+ were seriously the years of the baby blue, lol! Wayyy too many cars had it all the way up to '05. Pretty sad during some of the riciest years of the car scene I had a stock body Z32 300zx and a '99 Triumph Daytona 955i...then years later when the clean "JDM" scene was coming into play bought the F&F Integra to save. haha.

It's not a model, I swear! Bought with 30k miles on it looking like this....

[Bus Driver J]

You, me, and a bunch of others im sure!

I might be the only person in Atl that avoided the wrath of "Turbo Ted".

I think thats the first pic Ive seen of Tousma's car since he went to the infamous split hood.
How come no pictures of Kathryns blue SI have been posted yet?? And I totally forgot how Justins orange hatch looked. I remembered the back bumper though. Talk about being creative with the exhaust.
And dont forget about Sheping (sp??) and Jordans almost matching Accords.

Just thinking about the amount of cars that came out of UAB and Yellow River at that time is crazy.

Wish I still had pics from back in the day. Ive gone through too many cameras and computers and they slowly dissipated. I was lucky to find my disc with the eXXXtreme import photoshoot.

[Glides]

And ONE to grow on WTN!!!! Later, QD.

I think thats the HOnda that is always at this body shop across from my house. Not sure if he wrecks it all the time or what. Nifty look though.

[Echonova]

I might be the only person in Atl that avoided the wrath of "Turbo Ted".LOL, Ted doesn't owe me money... but I owe him a good ole fashioned country ass-whoopin.

[Chuckster]

For the record this was the car Echo had when I met him in Pheonix. That POS was fast though, walked my Supra from a roll back when I was running 10psi less. I'd love another shot at it.


Oh, wait. You sold it. Pussy:lmfao:

nice thread.

[Deaf Pimp]

"WE" will never be like the old times.. why because thats life.. Some of Us just grow up, more responsibilities etc.


I enjoy cars.. I don't love cars. I have come to that conclusion. Some people Love cars.. But me, I enjoy them.


I made a thread in 03 where I talked about how the "show scene" was going to ROT and fall a part. I decided that Nopi 2003 was my last SHOW ever.. which it was.

I showed my car for 5 years..who knows how many shows up and down the east coast.. and When I quit showing, stripped my car, went to Mahdavi and they did my swap.. I only had the car for one more year after that.. Shit, Honestly I had never enjoyed that car like that one year alone.

Even though, After I made that thread on IA about how the show scene had it days and years numbered it stayed strong for 2 more years after that.. But by 05 we knew where it was going..

Now is dead and not the same.
There was a lot of competition back then, but at the end of the day, we will all "for the most" part, be cool..and still friends.

I look back and think, damn we were some idiots spending all that money on those lame ass cars.. damn, what a waste.. But you know what, Who Am I to judge.. I really couldn't, I was part of it.

Waking up at 6am to have a the car clean for a show at 9am that morning.. But mind you, we had spent the whole day before cleaning and waxing for the event.. crazy times indeed.

Back then it was more about the car and not the person.. Now you go to a meet and you see girls 1/2 naked and dudes trying to show off there gear or new phone or camera more then there car....

They drive in shitty ass Civic or 240's, literally with no paint, but have $200 pair of jordans, a $800 camera and $500 phone... and there $25 Green A-town hat to the side.. Is more of a fashion show now a days..

If they see me at a meet with slipper or flip flops I may get laughed at.. or made fun in one of the individual groups...

Is not the same.. why? Time is not the same.. Thats why I enjoy going to these Hot rods shows lately , because to most of them guys and gals out at those shows, is about the car, not them..

I also, enjoy going to the drag strip as well.

I never enjoyed drifting, cause I knew it was a fad.. there was a lot of hype when it starting blowing up in the states.. But where is it a now? Not as big any more.... hnmm...


I don't think it will never be the same, I honestly don't care if it does.. I know personally I'm not the same, so... it wont for me no matter what...

Even back then there was a difference : there were properly built cars and those that were not built right.... Of course for show..


What I like about all those crazy days and nights cleaning cars, shows and meets is, I meet a lot of cool people and some that till this days are still friends...and when we see each other is always a good 5 to 10 minutes conversation just catching up.. because I understand life is not what It was years ago... We grew up..Some got married with families now..

And in the middle of all that "controlled chaos " Importatlanta was born.

Honestly I'm not involved any more as I used to with events eh, sometimes, and if it wasn't for IA I would probably not be around any more.

So with that said, When if, IA ever vanishes of my hands.. I wont be around.. move on.. I got phone numbers to close friends and some of them do to..


So really, Life changes, Not the actual passion for cars.. The passion will be there for some... Is just some of us just have no other choice but to move on...

The new guys today will be feeling the same way in 5 to 10 years from now,
" all the good old days " at the point, some of us today may not even be around, shit, we may be driving shitty cars or better cars.. Life is like a Spin top.. You spin and spin and spin, but you will never land in the same place...

To me, is not even about cars anymore.. Is other things now that make more sense..


Anyways, enough of me rambling.. just thought I share what i thought about all this yiba yaba..

Couldn't have said it better myself... :cheers:

Sweet. I'm Oro Valley represent'n!!!
i swear i saw that car for sale , but i was in phoenix from 99-03

[Vteckidd]

ya'll were before my time. Its funny cause when i was in AZ no one was into body kits, at least most werent. it was all go, no show. Scene was totally different, prob cause i was closer to the west coast which always had a strong "street racing" cred.

WHen i came out here in like late 02 early 03 it was weird seeing all the body kitted cars, but thats when F&F blew up and it started to take over.

My first CRX was all bodykitted out, thank god most people never saw it from here. It was nasty.

[yogi08]

vteckidd, post up the crx you speak of.

if i was older, i wouldve probably had a honda civic with r34 front bumper and wild paint. hell i remember when i was 13 thats all i wanted and i told my parents many times i dont want a new car i just wanted a honda civic LOL. luckly for me, i had my own money and my mind changed

X-Rizzle ... Pigeon Forge 2002 - Unveiling of the widebodies.
Holy shit!! Good pics DP.
I remember that trip. Almost everyone was already in Pigeon Forge before Jimmy and Kathryn even left Atlanta. They had to wait on UAB to finish stuff up. (and her taillights still didnt work right), then Justins car messed up so he couldnt bring his. And Shawn (Silver Integra) almost hydrolocked his shit on the way up in the pouring rain. The parking lot was cramped for the show. We, Xrated, won like 5 or 6 trophies if I remember right.

[Echonova]

i swear i saw that car for sale , but i was in phoenix from 99-03I spent a lot of time in Pheonix skreet racing (First time I met Juggernaut was after I walked his ass). But I doubt is was that car. After I sold the 17yr old kids wrecked it the first week he owned. Then took off my custom painted taillights and put on altezza'a.:( Then parked it around a telephone pole. I heard he was planning on fixing it, but I dunno. Guess he couldn't handle the NNAAWWWSSSS

Edit: Also before I sold it the "Z3" fiberglass was gone and back to factory panels and had Canadian Si rims...

that is why


So because he is younger he automatically doesn't like vomit inducing vehicles? I am a full 6 years older than he is and in 2002 and to this day would not even give a 2nd look at most of the vehicles in this thread. They are mostly terrible. Terrible paint, terrible interior, terrible mods and engine bays with more color than the rainbow. They induced vomitting in 2002 and they will continue to do that.

Even this forum has gone to the more 'clean' look. There are many a Honda Civic on this forum that I would drive to and from work. It wouldn't suit me as a track car but I certainly would not turn my nose up on driving it. The 'rice' has mostly died off. I see one a week right now.

The 'show scene' is not really all that dead though. There are still owners that are dumb enough to bolt, screw, glue and weld on as much point stuff as they possible can. Even on bimmerforums there are a couple of guys that have 'show cars' as they call them and they are absolutely terrible. The idea of 'Let's tack on as MUCH stuff as possible' is still alive and well.

What is julio doing on my car?

[Ex_Vtec_Girl]

You know what's crazy, Julizzle? And someone asked this earlier in this thread...about where are these cars now. Just about everyone of the "classic" IA cars were sold off by the builders/owners to young kids with mommy/daddy's money. And every single one of these kids with these cars (no lie) killed the cars. Not one of those cars every looked the way it did before sale date ever again. Later, QD.

Maybe all of them except Jeff...last I talked to him, his was sitting in his garage in pieces :doh:

[Ex_Vtec_Girl]

oh man. These were the heavy hitter cars back in the day. I remember seein a lot of these cars for the first time at a shop that used to be off Buford Hwy. I cant remember the name, Hybrid racing i think. Brooks worked there. They had a few crazy shows there. I still talk to icehouse, and he still has the crv at his house. These are the good old days

I was talking about that shop the other day & couldn't remember the name of it...thanks!!!

[B18c1Turboed]

Last I heard, he was dating/engaged to Kat, Nick a/k/a SpyderManSpeed's ex & they were living in Lawrenceville. But that was a while ago!

[Ex_Vtec_Girl]

I never got to party at the hotel during the Nopi Nats, but I've heard the infamous stories. Those guys would stay up all night partying, but would get up bright and early to get their rides prepped to go in to Nopi Nats.

[buddha@TeamFX]

I have a whole bunch of pics from 02 and 03...I need to go find them and scan them. Staying up all night cleaning with Tom(QuickBrick) and Pete to go show saturday and possibly a night show as well as sometimes sunday too. Tons of memories...always hated Pablo for running his hand on the frame. But thats why I love the Hot Rod/Muscle Car scene...Still slamming even with the economy. But for some of us its a way of life and always will be.

I love how you post up these old school car show pics. It puts everything in perspective and makes ur remember that this community has been around for a while and gone through many changes.

It is crazy to see what everyone considered hot at one point and how much it differs from that today.
