Dark Purple S14 A is amazing. Best of the pics (not conting your Supra, but you should get new rims at some point

imho)

Grez@Veilside_Supra_TT · Post by **Grez@Veilside_Supra_TT** » 24 Jul 2004, 20:50

lol Dont worry about that. I very nearly came home with some today, but they didnt have tyres. (Â£1900 for Racing Hart 5 spokes, 19", dark grey with polished rim). Ive got a few catalogues now anyway, so the new rims should be on within a month or so hopefully. When I was polishing the car before the show, I noticed how damaged my wheels are (theyve oxidised...) so I know I need new ones

My favourite has to be either the Black RPS13 or the blue veilside supra.

I loooooove that red on that Celica....it's an awesome color. And your Supra is lovely. :p

Great pics.

Yea its a nice celica.
Thanks

Cool Grez...

the more I see pics from the Shows you go to... the more I need to go there to look and Get Ideas for myself....

tnx for the 2 pics

(specially for me

)

Grez@Veilside_Supra_TT · Post by **Grez@Veilside_Supra_TT** » 25 Jul 2004, 01:23

Theres another one next weekend, you can count on pictures from that event too

Although its more drag orientated than show.

PSZeTa · Post by **PSZeTa** » 25 Jul 2004, 02:34

I like the silver Celica's rims.

And lemme guess... That Sumo Skyline is the one with the left headlight replaced so the HKS filters can suck some cold air.

And a 0-60 sprint in 2.89 seconds...x_x

Grez@Veilside_Supra_TT · Post by **Grez@Veilside_Supra_TT** » 25 Jul 2004, 03:15

Thats the one. Although, the light is normally there, like most turbo'd cars, the front lamp is removed only for drag racing. The main cars over here to do it are Supras.

Am I the only one calling 'rice' on just about every one of those pics?

Post by **TheStig** » 25 Jul 2004, 21:00

YEP you are!!!

I don't see much civic's and with a big spoilers, neons and no performance or anything on these pics...

PSZeTa · Post by **PSZeTa** » 25 Jul 2004, 21:28

Well, it's meant for showoff.

I don't mind cars with no extra performance.

But NOS bottles inside the car with no N20...

And just for spite, I'll add this because it needs to be blindsided by a train.

[img]http://www.picrack.com/003/avatars/jap7%20(Small).JPG[/img]

No amount of speed makes up for lame bodykits and dumb blueish green barf color paint.

Post by **TheStig** » 25 Jul 2004, 22:24

color is a personal Choice!

I don't like the color aswell but, the rest isn't bad IMO.
and damn you're good you found a Civic.

If there was one car riced up it was the Lexus and you missed it.
maybe you need a quick training in spotting rice... Idea?

what I see is a load of cars with bodykits and all, There are for my taste nice ones and bad ones but I can't see real diehard Ricers here...

I believe your point was covered here

Show and Shine event

What that entails is: Visual modifications.

But just to spite you, there were some ridiculously powerful cars there. Envy Performances 800bhp demo Supra, Norris Designs 600bhp RPS13, 'the captains' 600bhp Supra, a 900bhp chevvy powered 240z dragster. Not to mention the hordes of modified skylines, supras, rx7's...
The reason I dont have photos of them? Simple. Its a show and shine event, so I took pictures of well modified visual cars. Next week is TOTB, a pure drag event (imagine mortal kombat of the UK drag scene - only the 5 most powerful cars from each club may attend). Thats when youll be getting the tuned monster pictures. Besides, the HKS Sumo R34 not enough for you??

All i can say is "ooooooo and ahhhhhhhh". Great cars Grez. ur Supra is lookin nice (as always). Just one question. Were there any ricers? i mean full on ricers with cars that make u wanna go

If so i wish i was there so i could slap em all

~Mike

Grez@Veilside_Supra_TT · Post by **Grez@Veilside_Supra_TT** » 26 Jul 2004, 13:06

Thanks Mike.

Yes there were unfortunately. The guy who owned the prelude with the lambo doors had some friends that were full on ricers (we're talking old shape CRX's and the really old civics with lambo doors, bodykits and stupid paint jobs...)

Post by **TheStig** » 26 Jul 2004, 14:06

and did you slap em for us???

Grez@Veilside_Supra_TT · Post by **Grez@Veilside_Supra_TT** » 26 Jul 2004, 14:30

No, but I laughed at them to their face if that counts?

Post by **TheStig** » 26 Jul 2004, 14:32

It will do

if you see those guys at the drag weekend.... you have to slap em!

Grez@Veilside_Supra_TT · Post by **Grez@Veilside_Supra_TT** » 26 Jul 2004, 22:25
