well, NOPI was OK..... at best. i got sick of eating rice. there were only a few FC guys there and they were all wanderinga round somewhere else the whole time. i would have liked to meet mroe of the forum guys but, well it didnt seem like the forum guys i met "exception chaz" really wanted to have anything to do with me.

i will post pics later.

you've been pm'ed

 

My friend Chris went down there and said that he didn't see a single FC. That's pathetic. He also noted that Honda's made up 90% of the cars there; that's also pathetic but I'm not surprised.

 

I only saw 2 fc's inside the raceway, but I saw 2 other's outside. No tII's.

 

I didnt see the first FC there. Though i was checking out the "nopi chicks" flashing contest and looking for parts to buy most of the time.

 

Anyone buy the second gen timing chain from NOPI? I think I need to change mine, but I found a better price at JC Whitney.

Chris

 

Flashing contest?

**** look what I missed while looking for rx7's

 

There were 6 FC's that I saw:

one red one with the FX designs front, a supra wing, sideskirts, and chrome wheels, he lives near me but I dont know him well.

2 NA's that some guys from georgia had and didnt care much about(beat up)

a 88 convertible from a guy in atlanta

a nice stock white s5 convertible, girl owned(at least she stood behind it but I didnt talk to her)

a black s5 NA, there every year, with a lot of red trim and ref efini emblems. pretty nice, but the insides are a bit overdone(red int. trim), red racing seats.

 

Kevin, I missed you. Did you have your TII?

 

I drove my GTU up there to nopi and it got some thumbs up and junk for it being basically stock but i still didnt see jack **** there on the rotary side of things except for a chamelion paint 99spec "13b Bridgeport" on the side it was sweet and very clean my fav of them all....

 

I was there but not showing. There were also a couple other FC's int eh lot that I saw... a black s4 t2 from florida, and a silver s4 NA.

My favorite was watching a local guy with an FD dyno 330 to the wheels...sweeeet. I got it on video but I dont have a capture setup that'll work. I have a video capture card, but it is really old and wants to save as mp2 format...uggh.

 

I didn't realize that was last weekend until I got caught up in a bunch of riced out traffic on my way home yesterday on 85/40 through Greensboro. I did see a nice looking Celica (except for a big wing on the back.) Everything else that came through was a Honda though.

 

I almost consider it an honor not having that many second gens at the NOPI show. I would probably go to the show if I was local, but I have no desire to enter my car in one of those "car shows".

Its N O P I



Neon lights, big systems, and ugly body kits

 

I wouldnt even bother going to one.

 

I didn't go either, and it was only 45 min away.

 

I picked up my TII and drove it back to minneapolis on Sunday.. only passed a i think 6 cars that were basically riced except an Integra with JDM conversion.

I was hoping to see more rice to stay entertained for the 16.5 hour drive home

 

i went and saw about 3 fd and 1fc but i stayed around the 300zx s the most they were slammin most of them had over 600 rwhp
hey did any of you see the turbo eclipse blow up after his burn out well actually he only blew a radiator hose but it was still cool i love the sound of turbos and bov in the morning

 

i saw a s4 tII a kid was driving while waiting to get into the raceway, inside only saw 2 fc's and about 5 fd's ..i saw more rx7s on the way, in the parking lot and on the way back home that i did inside.

 

I got pics of a REALLY crappy blue 1st gen that was next to the backstretch under the garage, it had a list of "performance" mods on the back, which included custom tailights and graphics... they took a picture of me in my car driving down the street.

it made me sad to see that piece of crap

Justin

 

did anyone see the chop top civic hatch haha that junk was cool

 

I saw that thing too. I purposely walked inside the garage so I wouldnt have to walk by it...

Yeah I saw it, but he hadnt chopped it enough to tell it was chopped if you didnt know it, or so I thought. maybe an inch or 2?

 

uh well i guess cause im around them enough i could tell the second i looked at it and said WTF at the same time

 

yea that civic was funny as crap. i think i saw a few 2cnds gens inside. the white vert with the blue rims,and a red vert that was hit,they black s5 and i think a couple more s4s with kits or what not
