HIN-orlando (July 19th @ OCC)

[zoom zoom maz6]

this will be my 4th(maybe 3rd I cant remember)? year going and showing my car.

I was hoping I could help cullen and the SU team a bit and see who is interested.

it is the superbowl of car shows. Last year we had a very strong showing and would like to pull together atleast that if not better.

whos interested?

[szweedie103]

I would like to, but i need some rims...:(

[zoom zoom maz6]

last time we had a lot of 16 cars in the mazda booth...... 2nr made the drive down here, and had to burn off a decent amount of gas when he was rolling in.....

lol that was my favorite memory of that weekend. everyone had too much gas.... :)

[KissMyGrassFL.com]

I am definantely interested. But I won't have rims by then. Wish I could atleast get the FMIC in by then. but cash flow. isn't going so well.

[reyan]

Is this a fri or sat night?

[2NR]

don't think I can make the trek for this one

[bigjon_04]

I'd like to come down, but I need a few more details first? What days of the week is it, what times, and oh ya.....where I'm gonna stay?

[Colonel Speed]

I will most definatly make it out, unless I dont have a bumper by then for some weird reason. I should have it on and painted by monday.

[2NR]

I'd like to come down, but I need a few more details first? What days of the week is it, what times, and oh ya.....where I'm gonna stay?

HIN shows are always saturday nights and vehicle drop off is the friday night before...

for some good info: www.hotimportnights.com

[bigjon_04]

Aight, but I still need some info on where I can stay at?

[Ektor]

there are some cheap good hotels around here (all depends on your budget of course..)

if not im sure that you can crash at somebody's couch from the SU family... im full that night... sorry that cuch cant be mine lol

about HIN.. i already asked for my car and the naswer was a big NO! lol... i could get some friends to lend me mods for the show, but still would be enough for what the SU guys ask for...

i will there no matter what tho ;)

[2k8mazda6]

if i have my cai, headers, and possibly lowered, could i be in the group? i also might do the home depot lip. how much is it and what not.

[2NR]

Aight, but I still need some info on where I can stay at?


Embassy Suites on International drive FTW!!!!!

[Ektor]

bigjon if you are getting a hotel room.. i suggest getting it in a hotel that its not TOO close to the convention center.. not even in i-drive if possible... theres a decent hotel like 5 mins from where we live that has good prices.... its called Crestwood Suites.... google it lol...

if you stay there you can just follow us to the convention center or even ride with us... we live like 20 mins from the convention center...

[2NR]

well, the embassy suites was 100/night and worth every penny... and walking distance to a lot of stuff

[jroc]

just get one room for everyone, cram everyone in, like 10 people to a room...everyone pitch in 10 bucks...and there ya go...oh, and bonding time.

i was let into HIN here in AZ with 3/4 tank of gas...but only cuz of the f-up they did last year apparently...we got special privileges. :)

[2NR]

I hate gas requirements

[jroc]

me too...i had just filled up before rolling in, no one told me about HIN's G.R., they told me i got an hour to burn off 3/4 of a tank...nothing like high rpm's on the highway in 3rd gear lol...then i got a call with 10 minutes left to get my arse back there...it was fun covering 10 miles in about 4 and a half minutes minutes :)

[bigjon_04]

I like Jroc's idea! Cept I call a bed, they don't call me "Big" Jon for nuthin!

[2k8mazda6]

haha im down, i'l thrown in 10bucks, as long as i can get a cot. what are the requirements to get your car in?

[jroc]

HIN wants 5 "major" mods....but they dont really check...at least here they didnt...we got a stock mazda car in..

[2k8mazda6]

well, strut bar, painted rims, (and possibly by the time of hin), header, suspension, and front lip...=5! haha. whats the cost and all that. and what are yall talking about with the gas thing? what do we do with the cars, im very inquisitive

[jroc]

apprently, HIN is REALLY strict on you rolling in with only 1/4 tank of gas (if not 1/8 tank, i cant remember which one it is)..i guess its a liability issue.

[zoom zoom maz6]

its 1/8 tank. it has to do with insurance and getting fined by firemarshal.

as for were to stay. we always stay here. walking distance and cheap as funk

[Mike Troll]

I would like to come out, I have no engine work done and wont but I should be lowered, rims, wingless and my stereo has to count for something. It will be beautified and loud as phuck by then as well.

[zoom zoom maz6]

like to see the interest atleast.dont know who or what cullen is planning as the summer meet is planned for the same day, just getting everyone excited and planning for the future.

as trying to do it day or two before the event is always a real big problem

[Ektor]

^^ if you have rims and are lowered, you are fine.. you can compete in the audio section im sure

[2k8mazda6]

can you pm all the info i needs ty.

[zoom zoom maz6]

event info (http://hotimportnights.com/events/event.asp?id=692)

entry for a car includes two bands(gets you in early for final prep)

last I checked there was no required mods, but they have the discression to not allow anyone who does not meet their tastes. general suggested mods were atleast wheels.....

[zoom zoom maz6]

can you pm all the info i needs ty.

what exactly do you need to know?

[2k8mazda6]

god im so confused...!?

[zoom zoom maz6]

ok Im going to go to bed when you figure out what you dont know..... PM me... I can lay it out.

PS 2nr you need to atleast send down the turbo chain!

[Ektor]

There are minimum requirements to be in the show....

http://www.hotimportnights.com/media%2Fevents%2F352%5FMinimum%5FRequirements%5Ffo r%5FCompetition.pdf

for the lazy people like me :D here is a screenshot of the part that talks about it

http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h212/hectorsamuel/hinreq.jpg

[2k8mazda6]

o, well then i guess painted rims wont work?

[jroc]

those could work...they let em in here.

[2k8mazda6]

i dont think i could bare to put neons on the 6, and i think our stock sound system sounds better than alot of peoples after market stuff.

[2NR]

ok Im going to go to bed when you figure out what you dont know..... PM me... I can lay it out.

PS 2nr you need to atleast send down the turbo chain!


ROFL, that was Broken's... I do have a T4 compressor housing that I can send to ya if you want to pay for the shipping

[BLKSp33d3]

hey guys will my car be able to show

[BLKSp33d3]

the red speed3 with mps stickers....

[Broken]

Broken is in this year with a car. And the turbo bling will make its awsome appearance yet again. Model hunting ftw!!!!

BTW I will need to rent-a-wheel, unless powdercoated MS3 wheels are fine...

[2k8mazda6]

broken im waiting to find out to because my rims are painted bronze(stock 6i) so

[2NR]

Jake did RX-8's last year

[Broken]

So I guess I'll be fine, being that mine is not a MS3. Do need new shocks, front and rear bumper, and finish the body work, but with two months to go, should not be an issue. Oh, and if somebody wants to be really awsome and give me a CF lip, that would be swell too.
:)

[bigjon_04]

Zoom Zoom, I checked out that site and you were right, those are cheap rooms. I gotta talk to my budy about comin down then, and I gotta see if I can save up the money. I don't think Ima be able showcase my car though, since its completely stock. I let everybody know hopefully here pretty soon.

[Colonel Speed]

I will absolutly have a bumper and possibly CF hood and trunk. I want in!!! please

[Chef]

There will be a major announcement regarding HIN coming soon.......keep watching for me to type it out......

[Colonel Speed]

........Waiting.......anxiously!I want IN

[2k8mazda6]

2.3 im parking beside you!

[Colonel Speed]

You got to get in first, i am sure they only have a certain number they can bring. I got to get in aswell

[2k8mazda6]

doubtful, the bigger the better, and of course the more money they make. We should try to have the biggest spot.

[Colonel Speed]

werd, but i am sure there is a limit.

[Broken]

I dont think there's a "limit" perce, but then again, I dont think you can bring like, 40 cars. There was like 20 of us last year though, pretty good showing.

[jroc]

hahaha...ive seen 40 cars in one group...scions haunt me.

[jroc]

the fact that scion and mazda sponsors HIN...and yet the scion crew got free admission and we didnt...blows my mind...oh well.

[Colonel Speed]

scions are so much cooler. If I could handle a real car thats what I would buy

[bigjon_04]

Of course, your joking! HAHA! Right?

[Colonel Speed]

duh!!!!!!!

[bigjon_04]

I knew that, see if you could of heard my voice, you'd of heard the sarcasm in it.

[Colonel Speed]

thats what I hate about text/typing lol

[SneakyP86]

Sounds like fun to bad its so far away.

[Colonel Speed]

indeed. I have never been, sowe will see

[2k8mazda6]

maybe if we have a bigger group we'll get the free adm.

[2NR]

maybe if we have a bigger group we'll get the free adm.

ROFL

[2k8mazda6]

why the roflcopter?

[jroc]

Sounds like fun to bad its so far away.

doesnt ATL have HIN? a few members of AZ Mazda Club were talking about making a road trip to that one ...its crossing my mind of going too

[SneakyP86]

Nope not in Atlanta,could they have meant NOPI? That was just awhile ago.The closest HIN show to Atlanta would be in Nashville.

[jroc]

you know what, i think it is NOPI.

[SneakyP86]

They had the Nopi drags here in March I think it was and in Sept. they have the Nopi Nationals Supershow with a drift car event.

[jroc]

nopi got canceled here :(

[2k8mazda6]

im from nashville, and my entire family lives there along with old friends, and they've never heard of hin. so.

[2NR]

why the roflcopter?

I have done 3 HIN's (2 in the Mazda Booth itself and one in the SU booth) and never gotten free admission from HIN, Just free power from Mazda....

[Chef]

Scion was a sponsor paying for there cars to enter...nothing HIN is free....

[Broken]

Not even the damn models... I mean what does a guy has to do around here to get some JDM poon!!???

[SneakyP86]

im from nashville, and my entire family lives there along with old friends, and they've never heard of hin. so.

Go check their website July 26th at the Music City Motorplex 4-11pm..... you can thank me later

[rotoryrican]

It's been years since I've been to HIN. I might even enter if SU has room for the 8 in the booth. lol

[2k8mazda6]

hey i live in fl.now but i thank you now for saving me the trouble

[bigjon_04]

I'm tryin to get a caravan of Carolinians to trek the trip to Florida for it, I'll know closer to time.

[2k8mazda6]

DO IT!

[jroc]

if only gas was half the price....when i started driving, it was :(

[Jake]

alright...i am thinking about trying to get a group of 4-5 SU cars that we will show with the whole bunch but actually enter as a "team" to try and beat team solo this year (very hard to do). I know we have a lot of new people. I am excited to have a larger showing than last year. Of all of you guys (alot of people I have yet to meet/talk to on here since i have been finishing up my masters program and have been swamped) who has a rather HEAVILY modified car?

Here is my car domain page to let you know what I am bringing to the competition (I will be hanging a dyno on my hood when its open that I will do in about 3 weeks on race gas and about 30lbs of boost to see if i can make almost 600whp for show - if i dont chicken out to run that much boost haha).

http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2625517

please PM me if you are heavily modified and interested...

[jroc]

you should be more worried about Jinsoku

[Jake]

Didn't solo win it last year? They had like 3 IS300's with 2jz swaps

[zoom zoom maz6]

I have a mod or two............. danno has a few......

cullen will bring the speed Im sure..... please dont kill another auto exe lip this time..... :)

team Solo were those guys who had to spend XX,XXX or something on their car to get in to their club, and had members dues that are unreal. Jade always has a strong presence at events and super clean cars. I cant remember who had "most showing" but it was mostly honda kids. Im sure chris remembers.

I will be curious to hear what chris has to say

Ps last time we had a limit of 16 spots in the mazda booth and IIRC we crammed 18?.... CX92NV where you at bro?

[Jake]

zoom zoom 6 please pm me or send me a cardomain link...im hoping to get 5 cars with HEAVY mods...i mean HEAVYYYYYY...

[2NR]

Didn't solo win it last year? They had like 3 IS300's with 2jz swaps

[2k8mazda6]

well the thing is is that i have like 2 months to do stuff to the 6i, so it depends on what you would consider heavy mods...by then im hoping to have it lowered on coilovers, intake, full exhaust, short throw, racing clutch, and lightwieght flywheel. and i'll prolly take out the back seats and spare tire crap. oh and if we get some kind of reflash for the ecu i should have that. ??????

[Jake]

i dont want to come off mean. we want ALL of you guys involved in our showing at HIN Orlando this year. We do want to take about 5-6 cars that - like i said - are HEAVILY modified. We will all be showing together - right next to one another no matter who is in our 5-6 car team to try for best team...but the 5-6 members need to be REALLY modded.

I am talking - engine builds, turbo kits, paint jobs, body kits, rims, custom audio and video setups, suspension, racing seats, re-upulstered interiors, crazy lighting setups in the engine bay, headlights, tail lights, etc.

Alot of the competition we face are is300's with 80 grand into em - 2jz swaps, full body kits with crazy clean paint jobs, huge custom stereo installs, etc. For rexample...MY CAR DOESNT COMPARE TO THEM in my eyes. I will never turn people down to show with us. We all have a common interest - making our cars unique! That is why we have procured so many spots for SU to represent. This is a personal thing i am trying to put together to see if we can beat some of these teams that always win.

[Jake]

Here are some of team solo's cars - these are the ones that will be at HIN orlando - I really respect them and think their **** is HOT but I want to beat them! hehe

Jake, ATM, I dont have many engine mods, but in the next month or so, my looks package will be increasing dramatically. Let me know, you got my email, I'll let you know what Im doing.

case jake didnt bother to search ;)

few things done here and there since then. been spending a little bit too much time and effort on the S13

[Ektor]

man i would love to be in there SO bad...

i have hopes for next year ;)

[bigjon_04]

Yeah, I'm with Ektor, I have hopes for next year too. See the way I see it, the judges should also take into consideration the available aftermarket parts for each make of car. Right now there ain't as much stuff for the Mazda 6s and 3 and MS3 and MS6 as there are for the others. So when you see a built 3, like Jakes, or a built MS6 like Cullens, those are the ones I think deserve more credit in the tuning world.

[KissMyGrassFL.com]

very well said

[bigjon_04]

Thank you!

[Ektor]

Im sorry to say thiS, but you are wrong...

90% of the cars in HIN have parts that werent even made for that specific cars... its all about customization... in the "high modded cars" 80% of their parts were custom made for them.. thats what makes them different, thats what makes them unique, thats what makes them win stuff in auto shows. Or else ask jake how much stuff that is in his car was "made for" the mazda 3 NA? that built motor wasnt a "kit" that he bought, nor that turbo system, not that audio system, nor those train horns, you follow?

not trying to sound like an a$$hole... just trying to clarify one thing. Having all the available parts for your car in tha market, doesnt make your car "heavy modded" ;)

Any of you, with the needed money, could go out there and make your ms3, ms6 or regular 3 or 6 a beast like jake did... it takes a lot of time, money, downtime and research. Thats what makes you win a category or a show: the drive of being different and going that extra mile to make it possible :)

[bigjon_04]

Thats exactly what I was tryin to say!

[Ektor]

oh.......ok

my bad then :mouthshut:

[bigjon_04]

And who you callin "thing"? LOL!

[Ektor]

Fixed! :D

[SneakyP86]

Ektor just went to your Car Domain page,nice pics.One thing though the Speed 3&6 are 2.3 not 2.0.Thought you might want to change that.

[2NR]

actually to tell you the truth, they don't care about parts availability either... they just care about what is on the car/who made it/and how the install looks... all HIN is are just some checks in the block for the judging... actually now, it almost isn't even up to the judges anymore because they use PDA's and answer questions on it about your car when they are judging you. but this way is really the only way to keep things pretty much fair in the NCCA world. (Unless you lose to a damn RX-7 that doesn't even belong in your class GRRRRRRRR)

[SneakyP86]

Big John thats a new signature you got there ain't it? If it is it looks good,even if it isn't it looks good.

[reyan]

I wish I can make it but I have to be in orlando the following sat. to attend my cousin's wedding. If anyone is down then maybe we can meet up on the following friday night which will be the 25th. let me know.

[bigjon_04]

Yeah it's a new sig. Thanks alot, i drew it up today.

[Ektor]

Thanx for fixing it, by the way

[2k8mazda6]

so has anyone figured out what to do so we can be in this thing? pm what i needs to do. cause i deff wana put my car out and be apart and have the biggest group there.

[Ektor]

Guys it is very simple... You dont need to be with SU to be in the show.. it is important for you guys to understand that all you have to do is fill in the application and pay the entry fee (you would have to pay for it if you are in the mazda or SU booth anyways) and you are in!

all you really need to do is to have the requirements stated HERE (http://www.hotimportnights.com/media%2Fevents%2F352%5FMinimum%5FRequirements%5Ffo r%5FCompetition.pdf)

after you have the requirements knocked down, you are free to apply and pay the fee and you are in... visit www.hotimportnights.com (http://www.;hotimportnights.com) for more info ;)

[2k8mazda6]

see thank you that wasnt hard...

Anyways

Just want to mention that I'll be there in attendance :D LOL not that you guys care. I know MOST of you dont know who I am but I've been to the No Snow Cruise and I'm just looking forward to see a nice turn out of Mazdas at HIN Orlando this year.

[Broken]

we took one out of Team Solo yesterday. Im confident we can take a bite out of them again.

BTW The hatch is going into the body shop for full body work in about 2 weeks. pwnt3d.

[Colonel Speed]

^^ Goodluckjosh, it ought to look sick.

[Broken]

hopefully. For the money Im getting quoted, I expect it to be in top shape when it comes out.

[Colonel Speed]

since you are doing major body work, are you going to go with the stock color?

[bigjon_04]

Broken, exactly what kinda body work are you havin done?

[Colonel Speed]

2006 mazdaspeed 6 samshed driverside and some tree bark......I'm in right!!!

[Chef]

Your in just with the new Mazdaspeed3 in Pearl White you should get....this time don't let anyone drive it....

[jam_asian85]

I'm guessing this is a list for all those would want to enter their cars?

[Chef]

you are correct

[jam_asian85]

you are correct

aaaaah kool, wish ya luck and i hope to see a good turn out there !!!

[Chef]

aaaaah kool, wish ya luck and i hope to see a good turn out there !!!

You don't want to enter?

[Broken]

am I part of the SU staff/crew, or do I have to sign in :D??

[Chef]

everyone sign's up at this point...

[jam_asian85]

You don't want to enter?

At this point in time I dont really want to commit and then sell you guys out and plus I'm not HEAVILY modified ;)

[Chef]

At this point in time I dont really want to commit and then sell you guys out and plus I'm not HEAVILY modified ;)

You dont need to be heavy modded....

[bigjon_04]

rent a rim?:beard2:

[2NR]

there is a place in the orlando area that rents rims

[KissMyGrassFL.com]

200 for a week. i don't think so. For another couple hundred i can have a awesome set of rims. Things may work in my favor by then. We'll see.

[bigjon_04]

LOL!! Like, weekly, monthly? I've never heard of this.

[zoom zoom maz6]

rentN' Roll'

I think it is Rent-A-Rim. Rent to own. but it is more than I got.

[2NR]

I can't remember how much it was, but someone did it last year for HIN

[Chef]

Ask Redd78 she can help you out.

money is good and a hotel room is ideal(not that anyone drank last year....lol)

O yeah your representing SU so proper behavior. Even if someone blasts their stupid Air Raid Horns once ever 10 mins.

[mach1steve]

would i be allowed in? i'm down to go, it's just whether you guys want me there... and i completely understand if you guys wanna keep it just Mazda...

[zoom zoom maz6]

you have to go get me gas after the event.... you cant go.

lol that sucked last year. though I would have to push it to the hotel.

[Chef]

ya you can go we need someone to drive us around the night before and morning before the show....joking

[mach1steve]

i hope you're joking...

[zoom zoom maz6]

since you are doing major body work, are you going to go with the stock color?

his gas door will be the stock color. he has busted up everything else so technicly it isnt the stock color......

lol I kid I kid

[zoom zoom maz6]

ya you can go we need someone to drive us around the night before and morning before the show....joking

lol got to love the youngins...... I will be sober, but the wifey will have just turned 21 at that point. All bets are off.

then again she did get smashed on one fosters at the fever show so least it will be a cheap night :beer2: ->:inbed:

[jam_asian85]

Hey Chef,

Just wondering, is it every person for themselves when it comes to transportation the night before and day of HIN?

And is there a specific hotel that everyone's signing up for?

[Chef]

I am working on hotels and as for the night before it not everyman for themselves we went out in groups last year......it was a blast.......

[jam_asian85]

I am working on hotels and as for the night before it not everyman for themselves we went out in groups last year......it was a blast.......

sounds good

[KissMyGrassFL.com]

Probaly gonna tow my car down. Because of the gas restiction. And also don't want to get brake dust on the rim and stuff. Would just be cleaner. ANd then drive it in to the convention center.

[jam_asian85]

Does anyone know of any detaling shops around the OCC or are you guys going to meet up and do a huge car wash together?

[Broken]

I guess we kinda wash out cars before the show as best as posible, then tape it up, and try to evade as many puddles and [shizzle] as posible. Also, we take a plethore of cleaning articles to the show. Though the idea of a car wash sounds pretty awsome.

[Colonel Speed]

Your in just with the new Mazdaspeed3 in Pearl White you should get....this time don't let anyone drive it....
That dosent sound like a bad idea, they got 1 in brandon, white pearl and eveything.

Yup, so imagine me driving all the way from miami with all that bug on the front bumper and just in time to roll in :D lol ... jk jk ... when i do confirm whether or not im in i guess i just have to come in thursday, spend friday morning detailing *sigh* busy busy busy

[Broken]

^^ I was going to say you do that. But you want to spend all thursday detailing as well. We need to have the cars in by 6pm on friday IIRC.

Hi Scooby:)

[Chef]

We will have enough time to detail out the cars on-site also. There are plenty of places on I-Drive to knock the major stuff off. Then we can detail them up on site.

[Broken]

since you are doing major body work, are you going to go with the stock color?

yes, yes I am. Maybe in the future (far, far, far future...faaaaaaaaar) I might do a two tone color scheme, gunmetal and black mica. Cause gunmetal=secks.

Broken, exactly what kinda body work are you havin done?

:sighs: well....

fixing the severe curb rash that cost me a passenger side skirt, a huge dent on the lower portion of the body, a dented door frame, and a lot of PITA
Fixing my front bumper, that has seen more parking stops (those little cement things on the parking spots) than jenna jameson has seen....well, you know.
Some kids shot my door with BB guns. Fix0rin.
A pole jumped in my way, full purpousely, and busted my rear bumper, and made a basketball size dent on the rear bumper More excuse for me to get the Speed3 bumper:D
My brother dropped a tool box on the fender. Nice little gash there, about an inch long. Also a truck flew past me on a curve, and its cargo was rocks. a few of them flew out. You can make out the rest.
Knicks, scratches, here's and there's. My g/f and her spike belts.
Somebody tried to pry open my dorr, and there's a few gashes on the door sill and door jam. get those done.
Shark Fin antenna.
CF lip and canards.I think thats about it. I know more stuff will come up as I strat fixing, but some of it has to wait. I want an awsome looking car for HIN, not a competition level one. As long as I represent strong, thats all it matters IMO.

his gas door will be the stock color. he has busted up everything else so technicly it isnt the stock color......

lol I kid I kid


hahahha....so true...

[Jake]

you know im in...im registering with you guys and trying to put together a small team

[Redd78]

I am being told that I am going, even though I don't have enough mods.

[zoom zoom maz6]

if he is headed up the turnpike. right off OBT and the turnpike is shiners. they do a great job on my car the few times they have had it.

I would be leary about doing anything with a really low car or with lots of ground effects. there is plenty of time to detail btw friday night(you can be there till 8PM) and you have from 2-5PM sat when you can go in and do final touch ups.

We should have atleast room for a few people and as always I will be there day or night for anyone who decides they have had too much to drink.

[Colonel Speed]

I test drove the white pear ms3 today!! First time drivin a 3, I likey, I may have it in like a week or so, just waiting on insurance!!

[SneakyP86]

Congratulations man I hope you get it they look really good with the tinted windows the whole black and white thing I think.

[Captdanno]

I test drove the white pear ms3 today!! First time drivin a 3, I likey, I may have it in like a week or so, just waiting on insurance!!

Envy, envy!!! Are you getting a white MS3? I haven't even seen one yet. That is too cool to be allowed!! Lucky dog!!

[bigjon_04]

I'm still tryin to get a small group of friends to take a trip down there for this, I won't know until sometime in June for sure though. I'm tryin to get my budy (MSP, ?blow off valve, Subs, touchscreen head unit, ??) to go, and I'm still tryin to work on gettin the MS6. The dealership guy kept callin and callin and I just ignored him, I finally called him back and he really wants to sell this car to me. So, hopefully by then I'll have a black MS6, maybe a few mods. But ya, I'll def know for sure in June.

[bigjon_04]

sounds good

[Chef]

Everybody that is interested.......I need them to add themselves to the list please........Can we keep the chatting you HIN to the other thread. Please

[bigjon_04]

Sorry! One question though? If I add my name to the list, am I committed?

[Chef]

No one is commited until mid to late june.....

[Jake]

chef is so cute...he makes my manorah light up;)

[bigjon_04]

HUH!

[szweedie103]

I wish I had rims and suspension so I could be in it..
sucks being broke and having to pay student loans really soon..

[Colonel Speed]

Envy, envy!!! Are you getting a white MS3? I haven't even seen one yet. That is too cool to be allowed!! Lucky dog!!
Dont get all excited yet It may be sold befor I get my insurance check... I;m crossin my fingers. I can get it for 21,800 out the door.. hehe perks of havin a dad in the buisness, its just a sport tho but i dont care

[Jake]

ohh i thought you were doing a bunch of custom body work. making things look new rocks though!

[Broken]

well, not like im [fizzle]ing keeping it stock. Neither Im throwing a buddy club or auto exe thing (that looks liek poop). Im just going with the performancy/dd car look. Why, not enough? Im no team solo but I know im above the stock 3.

[Colonel Speed]

hopefully I will have a ms3!!!!!!!!!!!

[Broken]

Oh I forgot the CF hood in that list. And color matched engine bay with wheels and badges.

[bigjon_04]

Naw I think it will look good, I like the stock look of the 3 with maybe a lip, I personally was just curious.

[Chef]

Bump for more sign ups.......Let show Mazda our support by showing HIN Mazda's can dominate............

[Broken]

am I on the list? car went to the body shop today, getting pretty:)

[Captdanno]

How many cars do you think we need to stand out at HIN?

[Broken]

IMO, between 10-15, perhaps 20 cars, should be attention grabbers. Not heavily modded like you or jake, but at least modded/pretty enough for people to go "wow, nice car..."

[Jake]

depends what you want to stand out for

[Broken]

^^True. I guess he meant as a group?

[Colonel Speed]

A white on white ms3 should stand out... Visually anyway

[supermex]

As you guys know Mazda may not have their big booth at the show like they used too.
The dealer where I bought the car Cori Fairbanks is give me some support with partial sponsorship.
The managers from the parts and customer services will come to the show.
Do you guys see any need for me to ask them to extent discounts for parts and services for all of ya?
I know dealers are difficult to work with and we may need some inside friends.
They seem very receptive to promotional ideas and I may be able to talk them into it, but I want to make sure you are all ok with it first before I ask.

[Jake]

Fairbanks blows man. I am glad they are helping you but jason baggie of montgomery mazda will do better pricing than they will. he is a good buddy of mine and just as close with cullen and the crew. anyone associated with us gets good discounts through him. fairbanks will void warantees for playing your music too loud haha...luckily i found a tech here that still calls my car under warantee :) hehe but the more dealers we have on our side the better i guess :)

[edrive73]

You may want to get a hold of Cullen or Mike at SU, last year we were next to the Classic Mazda tent and SU has a pretty tight relationship with Classic.

[supermex]

Good to know.
I had a good relationship with them because I was well recomended by Ultimate Audio another sponsor of mine.
I understand they are under new mangement and will be stocking up on speed gear and some parts.
Is my experience that all dealers will let anyone down when it comes to expensive repair due to aftermarket parts.
I'll check out classic and montgomery as wll but as you said the more the better.
I have a lot of MS3 dudes I know that had told me that SU blows and all that and told me so emphaticly, but my personal experience with them is a very positive one so far.
So it all comes up to individual experiences.
I guess our advantage would be that we'll have more choices as we can compare all three of them in price and services and flexibility with warranty issues.
If one turn us down we'll try the other.

[Broken]

I think SU got a hand with Classic Mazda but it doesnt hurt to ask. Send an email to Chef or Cullen about it.

[Jake]

i hear ya. yes we have a GREAT relationship with classic.

if anyone ever has HUGE SERIOUS DIRE DEADLY BOOM BOOM problems with their car having friends in places helps...my hookup came through a member down in miami with me...trust me when i say that if he waranteed me stuff already im in the clear...im on my 4th engine and make over 3 times the horsepower my car came with...as for people saying SU blows...fanboys will be fanboys...i say protege garage blows and many people on their forum would be like wtf...its all opinion...SU comprises of 3 of my closest friends and i have bought so much from SU and made numeroussssssssss sales...i've never seen someone dissappointed except impulsive kids on forums

[Broken]

You cant knock untill you try. And unfortunatelly, some of us are not liked at other places. Thats ok, is not like we are a $100 bill, everyone is not gonna like us. As long as SU does their job, and does it well, liek they have been doing always, let the naysayers talk. Actions always speak louder than words:)

[Chef]

Talking good or talking bad its still talking about us....When they stop talking about us is when I will worry. Some people like apples some like oranges and then some like orange's in there apple juice as long as you like it thats your opinion right?

[supermex]

Word
That's my point and possition in this matters.
I surffed in many websites, and I stand with anyone that gives me a helping hand on friendship or support don't matter what anyone saids.
It's call loyalty

[Broken]

Talking good or talking bad its still talking about us....When they stop talking about us is when I will worry.

Zoom zoom quoted an earlier post before you put your name on about the same time you did. I suggest you put it back on again. No one took it off, it was just a coincidence that you both put your names on at the same time.

I posted earlier with my list of mods about wanting to come to HIN, unfortunately my mother is fixing to have to undergoe a new round of chemo.Since there is only my son and me I don't think that I will be able to attend.........although I would still love to go MOM comes first.

Thanx for the nice thoughts,its nothing new this is her third round of chemo in 9 yrs for ovarian cancer. (which means that she has already survived longer than the average) The doctor is very optimistic but the chemo tears her down and she also has Macular degeneration which is where she's slowly going blind.So with that put together just makes it so I'd have my mind on her the entire time I was gone.I hope yall have a good showing for HIN have a great time there........take a lot of pics.

[bigjon_04]

My prayers are with you and your mom, smeaky! Take care!

[Jake]

Guys. Huge favor to ask of! :) Does any know of any mazda3 sedan owners who want a new front bumper. It's sunlight silver and has a custom GV lip molded to it so its one piece. You have all seen it on my car. I need to sell it asap.

God willing, I my prayers goes out to your mom and you, hope your family stays strong for her. May God Bless you all.

[SneakyP86]

Sorry I haven't said thank you to the people that have been sending their best wishes and prayers this way but I've been a little busy with mom. She doesn't start her chemo for another week yet but she's been a little nervous and I guess it has more to do with going through it for the first time without my dad than with being scared.But she's a tough old girl and with all the positive energy headed in her direction I have every confidence is going to be fine...........once again thanx for all your well wishes and prayers........some people don't think they help but I believe in prayer and I have to believe that sometimes even wishes do come true.

[zoom zoom maz6]

the hatch and coupe have different front bumpers?

[Jake]

ya they are diff...i will let it go for 50$ less than i wanted originally to anyone from SUF...if theres a local sunlight silver sedan owner (s or i since u'd be replacing the bumper and grill) they can have this custom front bumper painted for a decent price

Gonna need pics and the proper sinage Jake. Thanks

[MS6 P.C.]

HIN shows are always saturday nights and vehicle drop off is the friday night before...

for some good info: www.hotimportnights.com (http://www.hotimportnights.com)

Does this mean we have to drop off our cars Friday Night before HIN? I was going to be out at Disney that weekend and wanted to hit up Speedworld whlie I was out that way. So if you want to show your car at HIN, you wouldn't be able to go to the track, or do they have a cut off time when you can drop it off? Besides, the decision between HIN and Speedworld, I believe my wife would definately pick Speedworld (models + cars = jealousy). Besides, it's suppose to be "our" weekend, but yet we are still going to the track. =)
