Have you entered in your Rx7 into a car show and got points?

Like it says, has anyone entered their rx7 into a car show and gotten points? If, so what kind of points. The reason I ask is I'm entering in my 1987 TII and I don't think I will get any points as all I have is 2 gagues and a headunit and some perforance mods.

Let me know

Thanks.

I've seen better looking cars in the wrecking yard than my car.

I have a feeling most of the guys here do more go than show. Any shots of your car? If it's really clean and has some good power I guess you would do alright.

Yeah, your car could make it based on merit, and not on rice...

I went to a few shows last year. Most of them, my car was still underconstruction. I went to the ImportXpression show at the Boston Expo, and I was the only RX-7 there Shows now are all about looks and how much **** u got in there. Conversion are going to be the big thing too this year i bet. Like corvette lights in the back of an S-10, or a BMW front end on a Honduh. Of around 8 shows, I only won once at a near by show. They had all different classes. I was put in the Subaru/VW/Mazda class and took 1st home We'll this year i hope to enter more competitions, but compete in audio and ill show on the side. I'm definetely try to go to Nopi tooo

LoS

mariah mode 5...... the wing actually looks a hell of a lot better than those shitty 4' high aluminum ones I see alot of. I know Aaron had one on his carb'd 90 and Now I think he's putting one on the 91 CYM TII he has. But the front end reminds me of the earlier Supras, which I hate.

your car should win, but that is according to me. the judges probably just car about "those phat beats in yo car dawg"

the import scene doesnt understand performance, they just car about looks like the stupid mazda wagon w/the puzzle paint scheme
