Don't fold on what other people say.... those rims, though not my taste, are fine..they're "flashy" and thats a look that plenty of people rock at HIN (something "we" haven't seen before).

+1 on needin to dress up the engine bay...can't really see the interior but custom console and pimpin' seats, also a body kit...

 

...Oh, and shorty antenna!

 

just put 26s on it, it hasnt been done

 

all I can say is be UNIQUE

 

Contact Arthur at CT2, he can probably help you get some 62's.

 

thanks bryce!

edit: meant ethan!

 

that was Ethan hahaha Eric you'll see who i'm showing with.. in April

 

they should enter my car hahaha the only half that works hahahahaha jk not gonna start with that one.

 

+1 for a body kit. go with a rare body kit or something really expensive that says balla. or get someone to custom make you one. you being the only one with it.

 

Contact Arthur at Car Toyz 2 to get a custom body kit. He will take care of you.

 

I would not go custom body kit, tons of money not really worth it. spread your money throughout the vehicle. exterior/interior/engine bay/audio, etc. All of which Arthur will take care of you at Car Toyz 2

 

I got 4th at HIN and had no audio what so ever or really any interior mods at that, the judge deducted the hell out of it since the interior was boring.

 

I'll be there ..

.. Clean clean clean.. and when you think you are done cleaning.. clean more.

 

I never roll on teenaged rims..those wheels may not be the favorite with these Yahoos on this sight, but they are perfect for HIN... loud and flashy... spend the money on sued interior accents or a body kit by CarToyz2..those rims are good for the show... contact Arthur!

 

Mike is right HIN judges are ruthless and cut throat I remember last year they were looking underneath my wheel well for dirt grime and looking underneath the sideskirts they will point out of if a bolt is not tighten, a little knick its ridiculous.

 

OHHH chit thanks man I will remember to go insane when cleaning. I didn't realize it was that maticulous.

 

don't listen to this guy, no show mods on his z

 

Ok here's the deal.

Punisherz no offense and please don't take this the wrong way but you have somwhat of an idea about how it works but really no idea what this is about and how it operates or really what you're getting into imo. You can't just jump in with the big dogs and think you can box. HIN is the main stage for alot of the big dogs. Also, you do more representing on here than a sponsor. I think we ALL know just how good Car Toyz 2 is. and what they're capable of. They're some of the best of the best.

Mike is right...Clean clean and clean again.

I also say go talk to Arthur at Car Toyz 2, he will fill you in and he FULLY understands the ins and outs of it and ALL the different circuits and shows. They are all different. There are different criteria for classes in some than others. Some give you NCCA points, some don't. Some are judged by professionals, some aren't. Some you know who's gonna win as soon as you walk in the door even if its not the best car all around. Others you don't have to have a ton done and you can still win. Thats the beauty of it. They're all different.

With that said if you're looking to do this (and i think Arthur will agree with me on this) most don't have the funds and honestly you don't have the time before HIN to build a COMPLETE showcar that can run at HIN this year unless you go for a specific class. Don't let that discourage you though as there are trophies such as best ice, best paint, etc. Start with ONE area (interior, exterior, motor/ drivetrain/performance) and concentrate on that area (with an idea where you want the other areas to go as well) with your budget. Concentrate on that area and complete it 100% (within reason as small changes will be mades through different years) then move to the next and do the same. IF you don't do this you will end up changing things over and over again and the car will look peacemealed and you'll waste an immense amount of resources.

HIN is EXTREMELY political and imo complete bs (has been for MANY years and I think most will agree).

It's about clean lines, carrying a theme throughout a car, making it custom but at the same time giving it the illususion that it was actually supposed to be that way, which means execution is KEY. Origionality is big, but so is tastefulness as well. Just because you have more mods doesn't mean you'll win. Although at some thats the way it goes.

In the end you will probably end up spending 2 times the value of a new Z (maybe a little less maybe a little more) to really bring home money or big event trophies unless you do alot of the work yourself and have connections in the industry. Even at that, its not for the faint of heart. Sponsors are hard to come by and be prepared to be without your car every once in a while if they want it for display.

Hope that helps.

 

alright I may not know personally but the person who is in full charge of my vehicle knows shows better than most so i'll be fine

 

Tis true. Follow his lead and you'll be just fine. And I do wish you the best of luck.

I probably won't be showing for the simple fact that Im about done with it. Im sick of sitting there watching the car to make sure noone touches it or nothing happens to it when I could be out driving it on one of those nice days. I have trophies and honestly don't want anymore b/c most are friggin huge and I don't have a place to put them. I used to love it I may just be burnt out on all the bs and headache you have to go through just to be there. Be here at this time, park here, register here and pay here. Oh, wait..you want power that'll be extra and we'll get to you when we can. It just gets old. I spend all this moey on my car and I think I might enjoy it now

Don't get me wrong you'll probably see me at one from time to time, but Im no longer scheduling around it anymore and it's all for fun. I don't care. If I don't feel like clening my suspension with a toothbrush Im not, sorry.
