So, overall here is what people thought....

Performance hands down was amazing, but HIN is barely a performance show. The look of my car was amazing, from a crisp, rare VR4 perspective. Judges like flashing lights and stuff really unique. VLS is not unique if you catch my drift.

Sadly, they wanted almost $250 for power, which I wasnt going to pay. I wish though I could have powered up my carPC and shown off the interior lighting.

Things I am going to work on for next time: Polishing the entire engine and cleanup better. I might bring some "flashy" things to attract the judges better, just for HIN (i am not ricing this shit).

I did get an editor in chief of some magazine called "HotCars" approach me and asked that I get in touch with him early this week for a feature story on the VR4. I also got a full video interview from The617.com - Boston and Beyond , video and an actual on camera with reporter style interview. I hope to see that soon.

Yea, so the non-local peeps that dont check our area can see. I'll keep that one updated with pictures (still uploading)

Was very nice meeting you too! Quite the coincidence that we rolled in at the same time and ended up about 4 cars away during the show! (and you almost got my name right; it's Lori)

I'm totally not about the neon and rice crap either. Your car looking amazing. Unfortunately mine was in the light from the Bridgestone truck, so I couldn't get many shots, but it's not near as nice as yours anyhow.
Good times, met a lot of nice people and had a great time.

Haha, the guy from that site interviewed me too- twice! First time he just caught me walking around and asked if I was a model. Err.
Second time was a whole interview about females with cars. Good fun. Too bad I was deaf as crap by the time I had the 2nd. Probably made a fool of myself.

Lori for the win

Yes was awesome we were right near each other, i had a blast! I'll do it again next year

Mysticfyre · 04-27-2008, 01:17 PM

Yeah, me too, hopefully. I'm planning on getting my engine better too. I'll have plenty of time before next year to get her ready. Rushing sucks.

Here are some pics of mine- http://www.3si.org/forum/f173/my-3s-hin-boston-417355/

Next time I also plan on bringing bandaids. My knuckle's still missing a pretty decent chunk. Darn sharp car parts!

I think I'll enter mine next year. mine sat in the parking lot and got covered in flyers

It was nice meeting you Lori! Car looks amazing. I've got a crap load of video and pics from our drive down there and some from HIN. I'll be posting in the a/v section after I edit/clean it up.
