[B16a2 Civic]

i placed in 02.

[The Yousef]

i won best of show...

[Allstar3.8T]

Jeff G won best of show Honda/Acura, and we got judged 4 or 5 times this weekend, We know we had stiff comp from Yamil, A purple h/b from Jersey that was amazing, and Jay Laubs nsx. They seems to watch a few classes to make sure things arent a total joke, Generally Honda classes custom/wild are judged better. btw, congrats to Brett, the car looked great!

[Brett]

^^ Thanks, I was totally suprised I placed, But taking 1st in Custom was a shock. I know in Honda there are alot of cars to compete with, and Civic's especially, so I left with a smile

Allstars cars as usaul looked hawt and made a statement, was good to see all you guys, I even saw Pete drivin the Pontiac SUV around

[Allstar3.8T]

The judges we has were wipin jambs, and lookin at fit and finish REAL close. They were rubbin the graffics in all the jambs, and lookin under stuff in the engine bay. The 2 days on a lift cleaning under the car paid off I'd say.
Since you are always real clean, and the car is done well, I'm not suprised you won.

[Brett]

Yeah he was feeling my paint in the Jambs to see if he could feel the marble in the door Jambs and was checking the fit of the fiberglass in the trunk, I was actually shocked they took the time to REALLY look at my car, But he did. It was 2 judges who looked at it. I actually felt when he walked off I was REALLY judged. That alone shocked me..LOL.

[Allstar3.8T]

Showin some classes really are judges now, they learned that if 60%+ are Honda /Acura, (probably more actually) they gotta pay better attn to them.

[Brett]

Yeah I agree, Like I said I had never shown at NOPI till this year, Went in expecting to get some bad judges and have them spend maybe 30 seconds on my car, But he was there for a bit and just over all really went over the car.

Conngrats again on all the wins for your team man!!

[The Yousef]

congrats to all that won!!!


but not to brett because he ignored me....

but i threw some trash in his car to compensate!

[Pablo]

Mike Gelb from Matworks took 1st place with his Shelby GT 500
Kevin Gettend took 2nd place with his Covette.
And the Golf Cart took 3rd place(European all Wild)

[The Yousef]

Mike Gelb from Matworks took 1st place with his Shelby GT 500

that car is immaculate!

[Pablo]

yes, the shelby is amazing

[Sachelle]

Actually Yamil and AAP didn't enter any cars. The only thing that was done was the Dyno competition with the yellow supra....which won. Not a lot of time to prep you own cars when you are building 8-10 vehicles for paying customers. They will always comes first.

[Allstar3.8T]

Thats cool, Yamils car looked hot, I wish I knew he hadnt entered, we'd sweated a lil less!

Yeah that was funny when you told me they had to turn down the boost because the Dyno couldnt read anything over 1000hp...LOL.

Yeah Yamils car was a booth car this year.

[JASONBALL]

The purple one? I'm not fond of that much work being done to a car, but for what it was, it was damn damn clean! I really couldn't find a fuck up anywhere on the car. They did the interior pretty low key also, which was a surprise, but made it that much better..

[Rican219]

ANyone get a pic of Jeff G car?

[God]

was that the one with the matching wheels?
killer paint
esp looking at it from the middle of the garage then walking to the other side of the car when the sun was low and hitting the paint.
badass.

I'll get some pics in here in a few, nice Jaime!

[josh nixon]

i'd have to agree, looks great!

[Allstar3.8T]

Suede headliner, floor and seats, more polished suspension, engine and accessories than 2 5' mirrors could show, and greater attn to detail than we thought we could do makes us proud. We know it can still be beaten, and when it does it comes with a firm handshake from the three of us who gave this all we had.

[Allstar3.8T]

sorry I made the pics so huge....Julio or Paul, feel free to fix this as I am a baphoon!

[Allstar3.8T]

BTW, Jaime, congrats on a 1st as well!!

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

shit is sick !

[God]

I think that I get to take the cake this year. I got a call last night that my RX7 took 2nd place. That's pretty amazing, becasue the car wasn't even there. It is wrecked and at the body shop - undriveable. I took my bike instead. So for all of those people who say they heard of a guy getting a trophy without bring the car - now I am that guy. NOPI judging has always been a joke - I have had something there every year since 92, and have gotten a trophy every year for at least one car. Those trophies have always meant less to me than any others. I only go to NOPI to see others' cars and to hang with friends.

the older 7?

[David88vert]

My yellow 93 RX7. The one in my avatar. It was sitting over 25 miles away from the Speedway wrecked at the body shop. Somehow it managed to get 2nd. They just draw names out of a hat down there.

[Brady]

david you are the ruler of all that is Nopi trophies. Now, if they would only call brian thompson and tell him his fd won...hahah it's sitting somewhere in NJ right about now.
