HIN: New Orleans...Unclemax siting!
I just got back from Hot Import Night. I was surprised to see Unclemax's car there, too bad he wasn't there. I wish he was there, but I heard he was in the hotel sleeping...lol. Too bad Unclemax, me and JAY25 wanted to talk to you. At least we got to see the turbo first hand. Very sweet!
Overall, HIN didn't seem as "big" as if the HIN in California or Texas for example. Oh well, still got to see many sweet looking cars.
There were a few ricers, but also quite a few turbo Hondas/Acuras/Mitsu. There was only one MKIV Supra there. It was a yellow one. It was UGLY! The Supra had some kind of dumb looking bodykit, it made the rear end so darn big. I love Supras, but that Supra is one of the worse I have seen.
We got to meet a new Maxima enthusiast tonight. He got a '96 auto Maxima with an incredible sound system, Sarona bodykit, Trend's grill, some 18" or 19" chrome wheels, and some stuff I forgot. Pretty cool guy, we told him about Maxima.org and told him to check it out.
nvmymax2(Blake)'s car was there too. All I can say is WOW! If he
doesn't get MOTM soon, it would be tragic. Airbag suspension, chrome out engine bay(for the most part), Stillen big brake kit, ZEX nitrous kit, 3 huge subs, and 18" wheels(forgot what brand though). Bling bling!
Too bad I didn't have my digicam with me.
I was not impressed with HIN. Aren't there suppose to be some drag cars displayed? Like them 10 sec or better Hondas? I didn't see any.
Matt, you didn't miss much. Only thing I think you would like to see is Unclemax's turbo setup. Btw, Unclemax your car isn't finish right? I heard someone said your car was push in, it didn't run. I didn't even see an exhaust system. Also, I checked out your carbon fiber hood, it's in better condition than mine. Lucky you.

Re: HIN: New Orleans...Unclemax siting!
Hopefully we can call our new Max member "BLING BLING JIMMY",
that dude is pretty nice except he paid lots of cash to have his ride modified. Anyways HIN I thought it was going to be the bomb, it was alright. Unclemax he was tired from the long drive from Houston then those guys had to wash their cars so you go figure they must be pretty tired!!!Nice turbo set up all nice chromed out and I hope it all works out for him good luck and god bless!!!

Btw, we also spotted a white 95-96 Maxima with clear bumper lenses and Maxima.org stickers when we were pulling out of the parking lot. License plate said driver is from Mississippi. Anyone here?
Jaime did you go back out? I want to stay out longer, but my feet was killing me. I guess I can feel how tired Unclemax might be. There was a RX-7 there representing RX7.com, the guy was just so tired, he just sat on the floor. So anyone wanted to talk to him had to come down to his level.

Hm...I didn't even know there will be a show. What kind of show? Something like HIN or smaller? Racing involved? If I'm not busy, sure why not. I don't know the area too well though. You guys up there might have to show me around.

hm...sorry can't remember. I just know the a$$ was HUGE. Whole bodykit was so ugly. What a waste IMO. It was some Asian guy's car I think, saw him and his buddies messing with the car for whatever reason. I think if other MKIV enthusiasts saw this Supra, they would puke too.

There were also a few supercars there. Two Lamborghini's, Viper GTS, an Aston Martin(IIRC), and some really expensive/fast Mercedes(forgot what model). Two NSX's were there too. Hm...no Ferrari's?
Btw, me and JAY25 talked to this guy from this local speed shop called Sonic Boom. There were a few turboed Hondas there. Anyway, Jaime asked the guy how fast the cars were in the 1/4 mile. He pointed to a turboed Civic sedan and said the owner never bring it to the track because he needs it as a daily driver...blah...blah. He said the car should be in the 12s easily, maybe even 11s. So was he BSing? I'm not saying it can't be done with the Civic. As you know talk is cheap. Where the heck are all these suppose really fast Hondas and Acuras when me, Jaime, and Matt went to the track? I think the guy was BSing because those cars seem to be mainly show cars.

(excluding supras and stuff like that) After him he said I was it? (uhhhh ok?) This guy seemed very well aquainted with the local racing scene. I believe him over Sonic Blunder any day. Bottom your BSing unless you have proof.

That's what I thought. I wanted to say something when Jaime was talking to the guy. However, I didn't want to cause trouble and maybe get jumped by his boys, so I had to let it slide even though I really wanted to say something.

I might go, I don't know about the Jaime or Matt, but I would like to go. I might race too, not bracket racing though, just straight up racing I would do.

We got like 2 maybe 3 hours of sleep from Sat 2:30am to Sunday 9pm.
I'm still a little sleepy, oh well.

It was cool to see your car anyway. Also, that part of the dome where you parked was kind of dark, I wanted to get a better look of the turbo setup. Should have brought a flashlight.
