I have read this tread atleast 10 times over just this year alone!!!! Best thread by far!!!! I remember when every thing was called "Japanese" there was no JDM in those days. Nitrous kits were all the rage and it was how low key you can keep it. Camber = butterfly. Slammed really ment SLAMMED!!!! And Braking your neck just to see a Import drive by and remember that car till you seen it again. My fondest memory was of me playing over at my best friends house (Laos family) and being the GoFor while they wrenched on their Corrollas and datsuns. And the funniest thing is they still do that **** today and they are pushing 50 years old!!!!


OLD SKOOOL F(*#)(*ing ROCKS!!!!!

My Lord this really is the best thread on HT. Don't let it die homies. This is where it all comes from. It doesn't matter to me if it's east coast or west coast.

I just read through this whole thread and it's f*cking awesome.

I was on the other side of the world during all this (not to mention being too young), but it sounds like such a great period in time.

Really interesting

I don't really consider 98-2000 "old school", but superhonda.com was pretty popular at that time.

^^That shot of the DA's on SSR's is great. Pics like that really show how style has come full circle.

Here is another old pic. I believe it was 1991 when I took this shot at El Dorado Park in Long Beach, CA. I lowered it about a month later.

dope thread...brings me back to the early 90s...I was rolling in a CB7 at the time dumped on cut progress sport springs...

used to hang out a lot over at the Mira Mesa Blvd races and occasionally down south by L street before they shut it down after someone ran over the flagger...

Lots of OG's crews back then, some i remember:
THRUST
Southern Series
935Draggers
SIK
Street Sports
DOS and EOS
Team Enduro
PowerBan
Dynosports
Team Infamous

so much more to name but can't remember **** anymore...

I used to attend all the IDRC events in Palm Dale...and of course the Import Showoff events in Del Mar and NISEI week up in LA...also a few Battle of The Imports up in Pomona...

I love seeing these old pics.
Some of us old guys are still loving/building the classic style.
