From a spectator point of view, if you did not like the cars in the show, just ignore them. There is no reason to belittle the owners and the cars they own.
2. If anyone should be upset about the quality of the show portion of the day, it would be those of us that had to judge those 50 some odd scions and cliff; the show organizer. It is the Import Face Off name on the show and if those of you feel the quality of the show was less than stellar, it is his future shows that might suffer. Somehow, I don't see that being a problem seeing as how his shows are consistently getting better.
3. We are all apart of the same Louisiana car scene. Why speak badly about those who have done no harm to you? It would be a bit different if they had said something about the Z's but, as far as I know, they did not nor did they have reason to. Much like, some of you have no reason to criticize their choice of cars and mods.
If I said, "I am sick and tired of punk kids who have their mommy and daddy buy them a 350z and disrespect others who have less expensive cars," I would hope some of you would set me straight.
In short, yes the 350z is a nicer car but I'm sure it's not your first car. Instead of talking down to those who drive those "near stock Scions," why not offer some advice or get to know some of those who OWN the cars? Don't automatically assume anything about anyone....
Oh yea, a lot of you know me but we'll see how long it takes. Lovely first post, I know. A lot of the same is being said on other forums and it's getting old.

I can't really complain much about the cars in the show itself because for the most part... I avoided it. I did avoid the Scion section for the most part because one of those clubs had a lot of them driving like idiots on the interstate on the way to NOLA. Hell, I have a few friends that are tC owners and I have much respect for them and their cars.
Like I said... there were 350Zs in there that I didn't like, it had NOTHING to do with what kind of car it was for me.

SOLEIL. This will help you with your spacers. You don't need a torque wrench. Tighten your spacer lug nuts just like your regular lug nuts.

Well hey guys, sorry I didn't make it to the Import Face Off meet. Circumstances came up that made me miss 
. Hope everyone had fun, did anyone get pics of most of the cars there?
On a good note my clutch/flywheel got installed today along with my test pipes! The car is STUPID loud, but it sounds mean. The only thing that bugs me is there is a rattle and I can't tell if it's because I need new gaskets or if it's because they aren't connected to the bracket that originally connects to the catalytic converters (The pieces that run from it are cut off). Oh well, now I need to get the ECU reset so it stops hesitating!

by rattle do you guys mean rasp? or actual exhaust rattle?
did ya'll take off the cat mounting bracket if you didn't use it?
I've never had a problem with rattle, maybe I'm just lucky.

all you have to do to reset the ecu is unplug the battery for about 20 minutes and press the brake pedal a few times. So I've heard. I don't know if this can cause any other problems.
