Milwaukee Import Show: 06/09/07
 

The show is Saturday June 9th @ Don Jacobs. It runs during the night from 6pm-10pm. I have gone to this one the last two years, it has had good turnout.

I plan on attending however, in past years I have not only been the lone Rx-7, I have been the only Mazda. I hope we can get a good turnout of Rx-7's this year - yall really dont want me representing Rx-7's all by myself! I hope to see all you guys there!


the address is
5727 S. 27th Street
Milwaukee, WI 53221

Below are some pics of this show from previous years

I would love to go Adam but i don't think my car is really "show" ready, got some paint issues and what not. If you think I would be ok let me know and I would love to go with you.

haha I bet my multi-colored paint "issue" and just generally not having my car ready at all, is worse than yours...

I'd still be interested in walking around and finally meeting some other rx7 guys

Lol, you think you have paint issues - you got to see my front bumper, it's tore up! (see above pic) By no means do I have a show car, I drive it hard every chance i get and it has the scars to prove it.

You would be more than qualified to put your FD in the show, your Rx-7 is cleaner than mine. Besides, it's at night, no one can see paint blemishes anyway. Cant wait to see ya there!

I think I might come down. Do we need to register? Is this open to out of staters? I'll be coming from Chicago.........

Do you have to register anywhere for it? I really wanna go its a long treck so as long as its not raining, like it seems like it only does here in wisconsin, I will go/

You dont have to register ahead of time and its open to anyone with a car. You do however need to fill out a sheet with name, make and model so they know what they are judging and who to call out for the trophy. Its like any other show, you fill out the sheet when you get there and I think its like $10-15 to enter.

The only people that need to preregister, if i can remember correctly, are large teams/car clubs.

they do have a DJ and raffel off good prizes, at leist they did last year - so your $10-15 dosent go to complete waste. I won a huge Mother's Wax detaling kit.

I will try to make it. My car is no show car either, but it looks okay if the lighting is right(nighttime :D )

that car show sounds great too bad im in indianapolis i have great looking 89conv....my son has 88ae thats sharp as hell it has 38k original miles and in perfect cond.....if u were closer larry

Hey you got a sweet FD, glade your out there, I will be able to attend but the FB isn't ready yet. Shooting to have it ready for Iola though.

Hey Adam do you have any contact information for someone organizing the show or can you find out if things have changed and we need to preregister or not. Thanks. I plan on definitely going as long as it doesn't rain. So hope to see you there. BTW would they put all of us Mazdas together; how early to arrive also?

^^^The car club that is putting it on is Sicon Syndicate. Sorry, I dont have any informaion on them. I believe that Team Rush (www.teamrushcc.com) might be co-sponcering it, they have in past years. You wont have to preregister for the show, they have a huge lot that will be cleared so limited space is not a prolbem.

They start letting in cars to the show at 6pm. From 6:00 - 7:00 is time to get your car preped before judging. I will probibly get there around 6:30-7, I can only wipe down the car for so long before getting board.

In past years they have not grouped cars my make, though i wish they did, they just put cars next to eachother by the order in which they arrived. You can always ask the person directing cars to leave a space or two next to you, saying there will be some more PIMP Rx-7s coming - I doubt they will mind. If I get there first, I will be sure to do this!

It would be nice if we could get all the Rx-7s in a row. If we are not, people never seem to mind switcing spots so others can be next to friends.

The weather is looking great for Saturday night, I cant wait!

Garrett, I hope you come, you have the SICKEST FD out of all of us!

That sounds like a good plan Adam, I will probably arrive early i have this bad habit of arriving early to things. So if i get there before you I'll save spots if not vice versa. I think i will PM you my cell number that way we can know if each other is there and just tell the people who are directing cars we have spots saved?

I'd show up but....I don't think my TII is worthy to be seen on the road.....

And so much for the friday night car club at Kopp's.....

What you mean so much for the Friday night, I am still going Friday this show is Saturday. Did something happen to your car, as far as i know we are still doing the Fridays, unless i stand corrected.

Yeah, I thought the Fridays at Kopps was a weekly event through out the summer?

Oops, I thought it was Friday. I retract my previous statment.
Fridays at Kopp's are still on!!!
We had 3 (including myself) show up even in the rain.

Adam are we still down for saturday nite Don Jacobs Scion?

For sure! I'm not going to mis this one, it's going to be a perfect night for a car show 75 and clear skys.....and I'm finally not going to be the only Rx-7 at the show!

bah I work through every chance to meet people...Tonight and tomorrow...

Post pics if anyone has any...

I am bringing my camera, and will take lots of pics. I'll post all the good ones on here!

^ I think you should put a set of these on for the show. :D Let me know if you want to try them on, since my car isn't running at the moment.

Any plans to meet beforehand so we can park together?

^OH SNAP! The RE-Amemiya carbon mirrors, those are too cool for my car.

No we didnt make plans to meet before hand. But, Matt and I (whoever got there first) were going to reserve the next two spots so all the FD's could be lined up together.

I will be at the show tonight but, since my Tee time got moved back to 2:00, I wont be there untill 6:30 - almost 7:00.

I took some pictures tonight so those who didnt get a chance to make it out still get to see the show. It was nice to have some great FD's out tonight, and it was even better finally getting a chance to put a face to a screename! The show was ok, but, as I promised here are pics of the best 3 cars at the show!

Those are the only pictures?!

Sad...I was hopign you guys woudl take a ton of pics of your FDs and the other cars.

There wasn't really anything overly impressive, a two Sti's a sweet S2k, and a shit load of Scion's. I saw some Honda trying to do a burnout but rather burned his clutch really bad, that was funny. I don't know I really didnt find anything else to take pictures of myself.

I ment of thr FDs....especially Garret's Mazda speed front!

there's some more pictures

the jealousy is just pouring off of me right now...

too bad it was kind of a let down

doesn't mean i'm not jealous

Hawt...Garret's car is a monster. It sounds sooo mean when he starts it up. The RXforspeed you've got a real nice clean red FD as well. I liek the black wheels. BTW..your girl friend looks really familiar...I could be mistaken though.

Haha I was going to say that too. But its probably just because I saw you guys Friday night too.
I totally would have stayed longer, hell Adam almost had me convinced to put my broke ass FC in, but the girlfriend wouldn't let me. She didn't want to stay that long.

Great cars guys!

Xeros where did u go to school and what not?

The Quon. Mequon. If your from lisbon/Sussex, then I doubt any of us knwo each other.

You must bring the FC...and then...You should have me spray it ;)

As long as you don't kill my wallet :(

I would love to get the car painted, I just don't have the money to right now. I'm planning on needing a new motor and a FMIC and Rtek 2.0 within the next 6 mo.
Plus I'm paying off the car so I can get a freakin better credit score. Not to mention I just bought new struts, springs, engine & tranny mounts, pilot & throw out bearings, pads and rotors, and still want to do a complete tune up all within the last month. So money is fairly tied up.

I really do need a respray because the dumbass who fixed the front end before couldn't paint the side of a barn. The WHOLE CAR has overspray, the front bumper skin has no flex agent so when the previous owner nudged the front end the causee the whole thing to start flaking off.
Not to mention I just took off my mirrors to paint so rusty weather stripping, yeah the PAINT ON MY DOOR CAME OFF because it wasn't masked properly.

some people cant even jack the car up right, VISIBLY crushed the side of the car!
AHHH! [/rant

Nice to see some people I have met and meet some new rx7 folks. Put a few buslengths on the yellow saleen on the way home :D

LoL sounds just like the life of a yougn 7 owner. Know how you feel.

Hey Garret I still have your keys! LOLZ Hey everyone Joy rides in the V8 monster when Garrets not looking :D

Oh wait...I can't even reach the pedals....damn you and your rediculous height and non moveable seats!

haha, that's right you still have my keys!

awwwww, you are being modest! I was right behind you the whole time, you smoked the SH*T out of that Saleen!

After you toasted the Saleen, I pulled up along side of him. The look on his face was priceless, it was like, "WTF, not another Rx-7!" I was going to see if he wanted to go again, he just hit the brakes and hid a few cars behind me. I think you hurt is feelings!

haha

How do i always miss the fun, i was followed by two cops the most of my way home, yay that was exciting...

He was revin at me and pretty much everyone on 27th and said "so you've got an ls1", we exchanged thumbs up and went on our way. The revving continued on the freeway, traffic cleared out, so I figured what the hell. Gave him the jump, walked him like a dog :D

I swear I'm just going to quit working on my car....
Took me 5 hours to install tranny bushings. Snapped one of the mounting bolts IN my tranny for the cross member. Just great. They weren't kidding when they said it vibrate considerably more.
