[Pete00]

damn a show inside a mall is awesome... but only 16 cars? :?

yeah only 16 or so cars. they will be spreading the cars throughout the mall. yorkdale is probably ontario's busiest malls...they don't want to crowd it any further. :?

[Supershyguy]

[Pete00]

[Supershyguy]

I think theres going to be 17 cars now lol

[Prafull Koli]

This will be a terrific show for everybody to get some real exposure...C7 will be there to promote the scene, and spread the word about the club!!!

Congratulations Pete...this will be a great opportunity for you, and the club 8)

[Pete00]

thanks prafull...no word from you know who regarding importfest...looks like i'll be going to route #2. still good nonetheless 8)

[Supershyguy]

so Pete did they contact you yet?

I dont get why they wont give us more info sooner. I have to start planning.. are you going to be there for both days?

you think we can tell them to park our cars close together?

I meet up with one of those guys at import addiction and he wants my car in front of Jean Machine

[Pete00]

peter ooo you get your car right in front of jean machine? good stuff, jean machine is one of the major sponsors for the event i believe.

i talked to both dave and tommy at import addiction. tommy said he'll e-mail us for a single meet to give instructions and what not.

[eviltuna]

I met Tommy of Raceworld last week and I'll be there also. From what I hear there are a total of 64 spots.

[Pete00]

tuan, looking forward to meeting you finally :thumbup:

64 spots? wow...originally there was supposed to be only 17 lol...

dave said almost 20 celicas wanted to participate...but they only took 5 or so.

[CONTROL ONE]

i do believe i will e there as well now :wink:

[Supershyguy]

lol okay I no longer feel special lol

from being one of the 16 cars....

I am now one of the 64 cars lol

are you guys going to be there both days?

what I dont like is how I asked how they are going to prevent people from touching my car...

they told me that I can ether pay $240 and rent some stachions or what ever for the weekend or some bull shit like that

or stay there 2 full days to watch my car...... lol wtf I have to pay $240 to help them out at the show? lol

[Pete00]

peter lol. its not worth renting the stachions.
apparently there will be girls/models in front of the car instructing viewers to not touch the car.

i'll probably drop in on sunday...sit around and see how people react to the cars :giggle:

[Supershyguy]

cool cause I might not make it on saturday ether... then do you know when roll in is going to be? it should be late at night or early in the morning right?

[Pete00]

most likely late friday night...since they probably won't want us detailing the cars when the mall is open.

[CONTROL ONE]

you're exactly right pete

last yr was SO unorganized. i waited for over 2 hours to roll my car in

[eviltuna]

I think roll in is gonna be 10pm on friday.

[Supershyguy]

cool cool. now I just need to find a ride home from there lol

maybe I will just sleep over at a friends house since we are going paint balling on saturday lol

[LDY KLLA]

the KLLA will be there too!

I guess I'll see you guys next weekend!
I want them to put my car in front of La Senza... :shock:

[Pete00]

[LDY KLLA]

[Pete00]

i liked the yellow celi. needs bigger rims, but its different and looks good. oh btw, its sherif aka veilsideceli on our board. he's a cool guy.

uploading 150 super high quality pics to brandon's server...will take about 7 more hours :lol: so expect them up tommorow. will post a few teasers in a little :thumbup:

[Pete00]

was a great show, thanks for those that dropped by...sorry i wasn't there the entire time. nice seeing you john (ieatglue), and meeting ian (ldy killa) amongst others :thumbup: thanks to sean (clarkky) and his buddy josh for helping me roll in friday night! special thanks goes out to suzy for coming with me both days, and helping me take off the decals :giggle: overall, the best show experience i have had. everyone was great, except for the stupid kids who kept playing with my hood pins and leaving finger print marks on the windows. both peter (supershyguy) and i were approached by the firm that does marketing for toyota canada...so we are in talks for something 8) furthermore, peter (supershyguy) and i may have picked up another sponsor through this event :thumbup: there's about 6 more hours until all my photos are uploaded to brandon's servers, so i'll post up some teaser pics:

again, all pics from my camera will be posted up tommorow, thanks to brandon for hosting :thumbup:

[Syn]

yeah that is so ghey!! :lol:

:lol: What paint did you use on them anyways? Mark and I thought we saw some flaking. Are you going to powder coat eventually, or just go for new rims?

[brandon6976]

from the pics it looks REALLY nice actually I love black rims on a yellow car, looks good on red too.

I'm sure if they were just painted it probably chips and such after a while but man that looks nice from the pics !! Shave them back holes and you'll be one mean lookin car :drool:

[subterfuge]

yeah that is so ghey!! :lol:

:lol: What paint did you use on them anyways? Mark and I thought we saw some flaking. Are you going to powder coat eventually, or just go for new rims?

Actualy I rather like the black. I was tempted to do that myself, but I'm too much of a coward.. :lol:

The only other (constructive!!!) critism I would make had to do with whomever did the job on your rims. The plastic 'chromy-lookin'' center cap wasn't painted consistantly..

(not slaggin' ya dude. Not even close!!! It's a fantasticly sweeeeeet ride..) :thumbup:

[CONTROL ONE]

let this be a note, painting your rims isn't as easy as it looks *ahem* :wink:

[brandon6976]

lol grant you mentioned you've had to repaint yours a couple times too though.

I'm sure chipping it just a fact of life when you paint a rim.

[LDY KLLA]

it was good to meet you Pete... you're car was in hot demand with the under 10 crowd... lol :P

I shoo'ed off a few of them when you werent around so you owe me one, sucka... :D

I was in between Urban Behavior, Dynamite and Holt Renfrew...

[brandon6976]

nice pics .. i'll have pete's up tonight when I get home from work.

I don't see Grant's car .. Grant I thought you were in this show ?

[SammyMan]

nicenice!!! I love the Yellow Veilside.. hmm..

[brandon6976]

http://www.c7performance.com/events/yorkdale2003/

the yellow Veilside celica is definately nice. If the rims are peeling/cracking I'd just get it powder coated. Very nice

[Burrcold]

damn all those cars look really nice

[Pete00]

yep thanks alot ian, i do indeed owe you one, and nice meeting you :thumbup:
my friend who came w/ me asked why the hell your license plate says "ldy killa" :lol:...

oh, sorry i couldn't snap any pics of your car. i was making my rounds and it ran outta batteries before i reached your section :sad:

[Bes]

Jus 4U Pete!

:mrgreen: :D

[Pete00]

^^ :lol:!!!!
dave (silvercelica) in the background looks like he's up to something :lol:

[Bes]

ya he's jus being a dumbass! :P

[darkduwende]

great pics, so cool to show off the cars in a shopping centre :D

hey pete, I see you've turned to the dark side... graphics :D looks good!

[Pete00]

lol russell...you were my inspiration :giggle:

[veilsideceli]

Whoah, thanks for getting those pics up Pete, I was waiting to up load mine. Looking forward to creating a good sig with control.

Thanks for the props all! The wheels were a big bargain for me. I thought about it, then said fukc it, I'm getting rims in the summer neways.

In regards to the paint, I used powder coat in a can - truck bed liner. I know, sounds fuked, but this way they wont chip since this kind of paint is designed to take a beating. Howevere, the center caps are plastic, and this is were it looks bad, b/c the surface is too shiny to take the coat. I recomend that if you guys ever do anything like this, that you sand down the center cap first, take it from me.

Finally, the trunk, I simply ran out of cash!! this theme is echoed in the ghetto ass rim ensamble I have going!!!!

[Syn]

Jus 4U Pete!

Actualy dude that's a hell of a good idea!! :shock: :thumbup:

Especialy for those of us that want to use (read: abuse) there cars on back-roads and stuff. Definatly one for the AWD crowd!

[LDY KLLA]

my friend who came w/ me asked why the hell your license plate says "ldy killa"

was this a female or male friend? cuz that makes a world of difference... :P

oh and I found out that most of those models were in the 1.6 to 1.8liter category... :|

not that there is anything wrong with that... :oops:

[Pete00]

^^ yeah a female friend haha.

1.6-1.8?? lol...

[LDY KLLA]

the 3 girls on your car.. the brunnette in black and the blonde in the hat... :yum::jailbait::tsx: ;)

you should've introduced me to your female friend... :P

[Pete00]

haha ian...nah you and your 'date' looked quite happy together..:smile:

[Dredd2099]
