Vintage & "Clean" Japanese Car Meet/Show?

[speedminded]

We have the resources to do it...Paul and the rest of the IA crew, A+++ photographers and all their connections, local shops & sponsors, race teams, forums, etc.

A car show for people that don't like car shows, is it possible? I'm envisioning "Jtuned" style, something found acceptable to Honda-Tech and some of the other better manufacturer based websites: club4ag, SELOC, etc. At Nopi I saw several orginal Skylines, have seen many beautiful Datsun and Honda roadsters driving around, 510's & 240z's, and even a few Mazda RX-3's...now combine all the vintage japanese cars we can find with cleanly done late model cars and imagine them all gathered together!

The biggest problem I see is what is an acceptable newer car? Have an invitation only process? Submit a picture to a "commitee" for a yay or nay?! No offense to anyone who has spent valuable time and money on a show car but aiming for vehicles that have performance before looks, less attention to stereo's and ICE and more time wrenching & tuning, etc...a time & place for shops and race teams to show off their work, etc.

A gathering that tells Nopi you're not the only one, lol...ok maybe not that big but at least shows HIN we do have what it takes. :)

[NAIZBST]

:raises hand: "me me me" who do you want me to send a picture too?? when does this plan to take place?

[stan570]

do i need a picture 2?

[uproot]

this sounds cool... i'd like to attend... lemme know where to send a pic of my car.

[carbongs]

yup let me know as well

[.....]

i say thats a fantastic idea.... but what do you consider old/vintage.... 15 years old, 20 years ... da teg's, na miata's, ef hatches, crx's are those to new or are they considered to new or what?

[Tank]

so my supra and mr2 would be included or excluded cause id love to bring them to this

[IntegraXTR]

I'm def interested in this, any ideads on date and location

[ratedEG]

I would be interested also. Even though i would rather work the event.

[Fr33way]

I would be interested in checking one of these out, I love when they feature the "back in the day" in IT.

[The Ren]

I'd be up for this... sounds like a great idea

[GTScoob]

Thats how most of the Seloc show always turns out to be. Sounds like a very good idea, just make a picture of your car mandatory with registration and then you'll be mailed an invite if your car makes the cut.

[juan b]

this sounds like a great idea!

[SampaGuy]

so ur expecting to find datsuns and rx-3s here on IA? lol

[Tyl0rWeaver]

I'd be down.. when would ya'll plan on doing this and where exactly?? i need to know dates, so i know how much time i have to waste some more money on my car =/ lol :)

[never2loud]

if you need trophys. t shirts let me know i can get them for you

[speedminded]

so ur expecting to find datsuns and rx-3s here on IA? lolThere is one, sometimes two, 510's that regularly show up to meets and this isn't restricted to IA...otherwise it wouldn't be a normal North Point gathering. Plus I'm not interested in a parking lot meet either...i want an arena. An all day/night event.

The concept is there, more than enough cars are here, now just need experienced promoters.

[speedminded]

What would we name it? :dunno:

[dimer4life]

Sounds cool. I personally owned a couple of 510's but not right no due to some financial problems but my Puerto Rican buddies own some bad ass old school imports if you guys are interested. Let me know.

[Tyl0rWeaver]

What would we name it? :dunno:
Atlanta Auto Fashion? lol

Metro JDM Fest?

JDM De Festivale! (sp?)

hell, I dunno.. lol

or how about

JDM Atlanta :goodjob:



:lmao:

[ratedEG]

JDMspot now that would be a tight name =P

[speedminded]

JDMspot now that would be a tight name =Plolol, i was actually thinking that on the way to work this morning....it might work for the website but need something catchy for the event name..."JDMspot 2006" just doesn't seem to flow...or maybe it does but JDM is too overused now.


kuriinraisu means "clean rice" :lmfao:

[Tyl0rWeaver]

hmm.. how about JDM Journeymen Unite!!!???

lol.. i really don't know. lol

[ratedEG]

ur right who knows

[down_shift]

Dont' use JDM.

vintage japanese car show......catchy isnt it

[speedminded]

vintage japanese car show......catchy isnt itYou have a point but i don't know how the attendance would be...mixing it up with old school meets new school would more than fill whatever place we wanted...

Jtuned attended the Japanese Classic Car Show (JCCSO) back in October:

I like these :goodjob:

no need to reinvent the wheel, they do this every year at road atlanta and feature a different Jap marque each year

http://www.hsrrace.com/HSR/HSRHome.nsf/weblinks/EJEN-6MBJP6?OpenDocumentI go to the mitty every year, i don't recall anything involving classic japanese cars other than the few that happen to be there racing, along with all the british and italian cars...

Last years pics: (site's down, should be up shortly)
http://www.speedminded.com/albums/mitty_04-31-05/

But if i could get Steve Millans GT and GTP cars to show...oh my, we'd have to have little booths next to them with peep holes for people to sit in :nautjerk:

[nsany(atl)]

Up on the hill they had tents with classic, Datsuns, Nissan, Mazda's, Honda, and Toyotas.

[speedminded]

Up on the hill they had tents with classic, Datsuns, Nissan, Mazda's, Honda, and Toyotas.Interesting, how was the turnout? (...i can't view the link from work) Was it HSR that organized it?

And since the average age at the Mitty is quite a bit older it would be nice to combine the two (older and newer vehicles) so people can see their cars "roots". Maybe talk to some people that have "been there, done that" kind of thing....hrmm...maybe a swap meet too?

[nsany(atl)]

there were allot of Z there, here are some photos of them

[boosted1jz]

but the question is.... what is the stopping point(year wise) for a "vintage" as you would call it....


cause im seeing a bunch of people posting in here with 95+ cars...... i wouldnt say those are "vintage"

id be down for a show like this :)

chrisThe Japanese Classic Car Show www.japaneseclassiccarshow.com/ was 1985 or before but from the beginnning i've said i wanted to combine the two.....old school with the new school. Most shows are either/or but not combined and certainly not 50/50 if they are....then none are solely japanese.

This would be a tuners show, as i mentioned before...a car show for people that wouldn't normally attend a show. From daily driver's to racecar's...for example BRE Datsuns next to Z1 Motorsport's cleanest Z32's next to Batlgrounds drift twin's...a timeline of cleanly done cars, whether old or new, race or street. ISP has put out many insane honda's, now imagine that parked with an all orginal '72 Civic and/or S600 roadster.

What's the chances of getting a JGTC car trailered in. Mmm...or the HKS Altezza. Downing has a few Mazda's, old & new...3 and 4 rotors. OPM Autosports has some of the nicest Rx7's and CRX race cars around and Raceworks has their honda challenge cars and formula mazda's...It doesn't matter what track: road course, drag, drift, or even oval.

[boosted_nonv]

great idea for a show ill be there if invited

[ECMgarrett]

sounds like a pipe dream, there are a lot of these kids that dont give a fuck about their "roots" or anything other than the eg hatches or some bullshit

i like the sound of this show except the names presented, JDM is G A Y unless you actually have a car that was originally running on japanese streets.

as far as mixing new and old cars, its going to be a 95/5% new/old ratio and its going to be every other show around.


what happened to this idea? still up in the air?

[quickdodge®]

. da teg's, na miata's, ef hatches, crx's are those to new or are they considered to new or what?

I don't consider any those vintage.

To me, vintage would be Datsuns, Hondas(before 1984), Toyotas(before 84). I don't see any Acuras as being vintage. The older, early 80s RXs. Later, QD.

[mocha latte cupcake]

as much as i would love to have a 15 year minus cut off its true. EG's EF's and DA's things like that are too common. i'd say 87 would be the highest year. anything past that you usually see still running around on the road. if its going to be vintage that i would say 87 and down. and 87 the highest depending on the model of the car. and are you making this a JDM only show or a vintage show? or is it kinda both?

:raises hand: "me me me" who do you want me to send a picture too?? when does this plan to take place?


The Fit should be in, since it carries on the value of Japan's first cars...small and economical.


I am definately down for a show like this... sounds interesting.

yup

[Bballjamal]

Maybe use an Acronym since a full name is hard to make sound decent! Something like LMV...Late Model and Vintage show??

Good luck with it! Sounds like it'd be a decent meet/show and get some real gear heads to show up rather than your norm!

[quickdodge®]

hm - my car's an 87 - I dunno, I consider it vintage

Nah. Not old enough. Will be, though, I'm sure. That car will be a classic. Don't think I'm hating, though. I love that car. And want to get one, myself. Later, QD.

youve got to be fucking kidding me
these are the kind of busters that make shows shitty, they think its a cool idea to have a brand new car at a vintage car show.

100% co-sign. Reps for good one. Looks like shit to see a line of pre-80's imports and then come across a 1996 Civic. YEAH!!! Later, QD.

fuck that, its not even that, they talking about having a damn 07 fit there :???: :thinking: what the fuck

ps - thanks for the reps


i mean, i think the idea for this show started off great, a classic japanese auto show. but then people are like "well have new cars too so it can blend the two..." nah, its going to be the same bullshit as normal car shows. some old cars will show up, but i think if a lot knew all sorts of shit was going to be there then they wont show up like they dont show up to car shows now, they dont want to be around all these new jacks (not everyone) that are rice shitheads

[Dominic49]

I'll bring the 1974 datsun b210...

[speedminded]

ok, the plan is once NOPI rolls around i'm going to get pics of ideal cars i'd like to see participate. I honestly don't want a voting or judging process just to get an invitation to register, it's impossible to please everyone and once people starting getting excluded nobody will have a good time. The only way around this is to set requirements from the beginning and run with it. It's too difficult to make the seperation between "clean" modern cars and "rice" so sticking to a specific year range is the only way to do it. Year ranges very from show to show but there should be more than enough participation for japanese models 1989 and before.

Ideally I would like to see cars parked by manufacturer, as in a normal Autoshow. Now depending on the space available I would like to include all years of local japanese race cars...so if your car meets the requirements for any racing organization, excluding scca's autocross, then there will be an area designated for them and the shops, if any, they are affiliated with. As I originally stated, this is a show for people and cars that you wouldn't normally find at a show.

[ratedEG]

come with me brother

[Stormhammer]

Nah. Not old enough. Will be, though, I'm sure. That car will be a classic. Don't think I'm hating, though. I love that car. And want to get one, myself. Later, QD.

haha - well TOO BAD - I'm still gonna show up ( simply because what - 1986 is considered vintage - in terms of the Corolla GT-S ) - and 1986 was a widebody style introduced for my car - which looks exactly the same, so I could enter my car as a 1986 even if it was a 1989 - nobody would know the the difference :ninja:

[down_shift]

I really like the idea of a (possibly Invitational) track car / vintage show. I am not a typical show person but this has the possibility of being something cool and different. I would definatley be down to support it. I think a simple 198? and older (bodystyles introduced before 198? M.Y.) and track cars up to present day would be very appealing. The Mitty is a great event but this would draw a more mixed demographic crowd. I think the tuner crowd, the Mitty types, and all the race shops mixed together at one event would be awesome. If I was planning such a show I think a night show at a multi-level parking deck would be ideal. It would also keep rain from being a factor.

Lolol I honestly don't see the AE being a vintage car. Old school? Yes. The only real vintage imports would be your older Jaguars, Porsches and Mercedes from back in the 70's and 60's. The Hondas, Toyotas and Datsuns are more of old school type. Later, QD.

There really is no set guideline/rule per years: state to state antique is generally anything 25 years or older (antique car tags & insurance) while technically antique is vehicles produced up to 1948. "Classic" is said to include antiques and anything up to 1980 (over 25 years) while "vintage" is cars from WWI up to 1930...

Ignoring all car facts or ideas one definition of Vintage is "old-fashioned or obsolete" another is "Characterized by excellence, maturity, and enduring appeal; classic."

BUT As QD said, i think it's a safe bet to refer to it as Old School.

[Stormhammer]

fine fine - I roll it out old school

so lets have an Old School Meet :D listen to Men Without Pants and MC Hammer and shit

That would be an amazing show, vintage tuner cars. Not sure how big that is in Atlanta though. Cali, clearly has the people.

Good luck!

Good luck!Vintage Tuner!! That's the first time i've heard those two words together...and I love the sound of it. Still leaves the debate of what is vintage is but with 99% of the import shows being all modern cars anything over 15-20 years old could be considered vintage to us. Vintage Tuner sounds just about good enough for a magazine name at too...of course for the music fans they'll think it's old school AM/FM recievers but oh well, a little marketing can change that. vintagetuner.com expires in October, i want it.

No problem. Been a car junkie since I could walk and for the past 5+ years here trying to just keep Atlanta together with good meets and shows.

I would say pre 1990. That is over 16 years ago.

[Stormhammer]

I would say pre 1990. That is over 16 years ago.

well what about generation factors? 1990 and a 1991 are generally the same model and generation speaking

[wantboost]

^^ i think the if the gen ended in 89 then it is fine. I do not think that if the same model continued to be produced into the 90's that it should be allowed to enter (example 1989 240sx)

[ratedEG]

sounds good that means in 5 years ill be elligable :/
