I just set up a date for another car show for us to do on August 14th. We are going to search for a charity, if anyone has a nice charity to donate too, please let me know.
ive been to many shows that REQUIRE a display. shit ive been disqualified cause i didnt have a fire extinguisher before back when i had my 68 cougar

ive come across both situations, so what i do is take my display, and set it up if i need it.

(not a bust on Blasko by any means, just the mentality of the shows)

You do realize his WRX was VERY STOCK as far as performance goes, correct? He had some hose covers and colored hoses, and some really ugly spraypaint on his intercooler. I suppose if that is considered very nicely hooked up, then my car should be considered a god of performance, correct?
That WRX was garbage. His car has comepletely stock suspension, stock wheels, an unpainted lip kit, and 3000 stickers.
Lets compare, my car vs. the WRX:
WRX "Under the hood":
Painted STOCK intercooler
Painted STOCK intake tubing
Colored hoses
Colored wire covers
Lots of neon lights
A couple of "display" items concerning his club.
My car "Under the hood":
B16A motor swap
Precision SC32-51 Turbo
Inline Pro SS Manifold and 2.5" DP
Polished intecooler piping
HKS SS B.O.V.
Greddy FMIC
And since 'painted' parts are a big deal, I had a painted valve cover
WRX Exterior:
Stock maroon paint
Unpainted black lip kit
Stock wheels painted maroon and black
8 CF "splitters"
Decals and stickers everywhere, including random stickers that appeared to be there, simply just to be there
Boeing 747 double stack, with stickers on it of course
More neons
My car Exterior:
Mugen style ABS plastic front lip
BW sideskirts
BW rear lip
Mugen Twin Loop 2.5 Mandrel Exhaust
Tint
'Custom' paint, including the lip kit
Stanley JDM glass housing headlights
Amber corners
CF duckbill
JDM Si Foglights
16x7 Gunmetal Rota Slipstreams
Eibach/Tokico suspension
Basically the only part of the WRX that was not stock (besides the stickers) was the trunk. He had a sound system installed, thats it. Other than that, he put a bunch of stickers and neons onto a car and made it appear to be highly modified. Please, next time you have a judge for a car show, or next time you even open your mouth about a 'very nicely modded car', please, at least take the time to look over the car, and pick out what has actually been modified, because in this car, the WRX had next to nothing.
