just an idea but you should ask your friend to have it on sunday as must of the guys i know that go work sat sunday the only day off but it only an idea

no one on this form is from the sac area?

 

Thinkn of selling my ef 4dr.

 

I dont think its possible.

Let me explain this car show/meet. At the high school there is a class called marketing. The class teaches you the basic concept of business. At the end of every year the class host a car show/meet. The class split into different groups, ie. cars, sponsor, food, music, trophy, organizer, etc. This car show/meet is a big part of the grade they will receive in this class. The better the car show/meet turns out, the better the grade they will receive.

They normally have an amateur and a pro category for the thropy. They have judges that walks around and interview car owners. ( the past few years its been judges that doesnt know crap about the import scene, but hopefully that will change.

This car show/meet has been a chill event. Never any problem, great way to meet new people that share the same interest as you. They normally have a few cops at the event but dont be alarm they will not yank you, or write you a ticket for anything. These cops are just there to make sure that no one gets out of line. ( Remember this is a high school event on a high school campus.)

Its still a few months away so info on the car show/meet hasnt been giving out yet but i have a few friends in that class this year and will talk to them for more information! I will also try to find some pic of the event from my year and the year after, so you can see the turn out.

edit: here is JSJbro coverage of last year meet!

i needa get a meet going....there aren't many import meets up here

 

meets are cool we got one going on tomorrow up in sac looks like about 10 so far

 

the only time i go to sac is for CMI.

 

just found out that the 5th annual Yerba Buena car show will be on Saturday May 7th, 2011

 

91sedan_kid-if the school needs help with the judging,hit up Tom from www.Tunerplayground.com. He was our co-host of the TI car show. He should still be on this site,you can also contact Frank from www.ticarshows.com. He is one of my best friends and he would so be down to lend a hand.He also knows a lot of sponsors like monster energy.PM me and ill have him call you up,he also has Toms #.

 

tom from tuner playground was there with defind the year my class hosted the event.

that year they had a guy from the marines and a guy from project ride and my teacher judge.. said to say they did a horrible job. The guy that won amateur my year was a GSR lowered on i forget what wheels and clean paint with recaro seats and a stock engine.. There was another car exactly the same color but with a jdm front and RHD conversion with a K swap i believe.. i though he should of won..

thanks for the info i will let them know about it. i am not in charge of this car show but i will help them out to make sure it turns out successful like the past 2 years.

 

was slow at work so took this pic.

 

looks cold outside.

 

It's called metalcast, i can't remember if it's duplicolor or not, i have some more of it aound here somewhere, normally you put it over polished metal, or you can use the base paint, the pump is the paint over base, i had painted it when it was apart while I was rebuilding it, the belt cover is actually an AC belt cover from an 81 civic 1500 dx, i just spot welded on some extra metal to make mounting points, It's been kicked around here for years and one day i just started thinking it might work, it was very easy to make it fit the pump

 

duplicolor metal cast anodized purple..i know so, haha.

 

im on purple metalcast too....they'll be gone soon

 

might have found my caliper paint now.............on a side note sucks i might have to drop another 150 on a dam battery will find out next week might have to put the twin loop on the back buner again

 

wow, what kind of battery are you getting? you can get cheaper ones

 

my odyssey 680 died i think it under wart. but will not no till monday it a really small battery that is tucked away..........it sucks to replace it as it hard to get to at that will take a good hour to do so i dont scratch up the dam car rrhhhhhhhhhh

 

oh gotcha

 

Yea it was 40 degrees out side and it was hella foggy it usually takes me an hour to get to work with fog its about an hour and fifteen minutes, but can't complain people in da snow have it worse.

 

what happened to it? they are pretty tough batteries, but if you run them down to nothing, you have to use the correct voltage controlled charger to bring them back 100 pecent, they can handle all the current you throw at them, but if the voltage goes over 14.5 i think, the emergency vent on the battery opens, the alternator in the car willl charge them just fine with regular use. I'm still looking for a reasonably priced voltage controlled charger, we have one at work, but i'm trying to find a retailer, the ones we have were bought at an air show, about 68 bucks each, I tested one with my PC625, and the voltage never went over the danger level, even on maintinence charge. a trickle charger won't bring an odyssey back from dead 100 percent, it takes a specific amount of amperage, one thing that will kill an odyssey quick, is a car with a computer, alarm,etc, that always takes current, if the car is driven everyday, it's fine, but if parasitic drain continues for a long time, it will ruin the battery, this is when you use a trickle charger
