Just to clarify, at the last couple of HIN's I have entered, they looked inside the car and they classified you however they felt like.

The first year I got placed in WILD 1/2 the time and the second year I was placed in MILD almost all the time... You can use the rule book all you want, but unless you are prepared to 'discuss' this with the judges, When you pull in, they will classify it however they choose.
Just my $.02...

HA! HA! HA!

 

winning this year will be VERY hard, especially when the new GT-R is comming here this spring. speaking of GT-R, the owner of Frederick Nissan is supposed to go ALL-OUT ! now that I can't wait to see~ oh btw his selling his gold digger for $70000.

 

It doesn't matter if you win by an inch or a mile... winning's WINNING

 

Don't spread rumor

 

I heard it, when I was at cartoys2... but i just wonder who's gonna buy that car? I know it's an amazing car, but at that price, u can buy new GT-R.

 

Interesting, I was pretty sure GoldDigger was sold to another guy quite some time ago. Car Toys2 has had it on display a couple of times because Arthur did a lot of the work on it.

As for Gene and the new GT-R... Just wait and see. I honestly think you would have to be CRAZY to modify that car. My understanding is the warranty is going to be VERY strict when it first comes out and maintenance will not be easy for your average shop..

 

alright first of all, Gold Digger is SOLD. Second of all Gene is getting a skyline and will be having another meet/show in Spring and let people test drive it.

 

wow...so much anymosity in this thread

 

instead of giving out trophy, I wish they handout discount coupon,$50 gas card or someting like that... I got tons of trophy in my room just takin up space.. completly useless..

Mild is unlimited mild mods and up to 4 wild mods. A lot of it is up to the judge that checks you in and fills out the tech sheet as BamBam said, but knowing the "rules" is for your own benefit.

Another topic that I didn't understand at first when going to a HIN was the manufacturer mild wild trophies. If no Nissans are checked in as wild. 1st place Nissan wild will go to the highest scoring Nissan Mild and 1st place Nissan Mild will go to the second highest scoring Nissan Mild.

 

HIN is all bout who knows who game. my friends~ and that's y my team (Emotion) is alwayz in favor of winning trophies..

 

I guess you're keepin it real.

It should not be about the trophies or the wins. You have to enjoy modding your car and like seeing others reactions to the work you've put into it.

 

yes sir
and i'm sure west side is pretty much the same story.

 

Yeah, I'm sick of you guys winning all the time

I'm gonna stop by my shop and sabotage Kiet's new project

 

And that my friend is exactly why I dislike it so much. I won't get on my rant here. But is should be about the judging and what car follows the rules and is judged accordingly. Instead, you guys always bring home the largest amount of trophies because your sponsors are big and important and your drinking buddies with the judges.

I will freely admit, you have some sick azz cars in that group (and you strategically pick the cars and the categories so that you don't compete against each other and give yourselves the best chance to win), but I have seen a # of times other cars that were better put together and done by individuals without sponsorships that should have won.

Anyway, the best way to approach the show is to go for fun and not care about the judging cause you won't win anyway... If you do, consider it a pleasant benefit and not an expected outcome.

^ If they allow beer drinking, I'm all for it!

 

to me, I really dont think it's wise to compete with a guy who spend $100,000 in mod alone! u just have to luv the scene(fake boobies! lots of'em)
oh yea and i'll just bet next year's shows gonna be filled with them same damn cars from this year..

 

Rspec do you have any pics of your car? I wanna see!!!
