Hmm.

Lately I've taken a hiatus from blogging about the scene lately cause I've sort of fallen off the map with it now that school's taking over, and other commitments.

But damn, I can't NOT keep my mouth shut when it comes to crap like this:







I mean..just really?

There's a point of "hellaflush" and "stanced" but um... these 2 examples are prime examples of "I WANT E-PROPS from Honda-Tech" I'm all for pushing limits and what not, but that S2000 I bet pretty much can't fucking move anywhere (and praise the lord as of this writing he ditched those boo boo ass wheels for something more subtle yet still aggressive, and copped the Amuse R1 front end..maybe a hint of wide to come? We'll see.)

But still, I wonder what happened to the days of the old where people did what THEY wanted to do to their vehicles, not what the internet says to do to fit in.

I hope those days are still around and not long gone like people say they are.

But when in fact, they probably are. If this is the reality of the current game I want no part of this stupid trend, I'll continue to build for me and me only. Screw Honda-Tech and the rest of these "flushed" "stanced" blogs.

I'll build for a magazine feature, not a damn blog.

1.18.10-IFO Houston.

Woke up around 8ish.. showered, headed over to ACC. Drove to Baytown following the purple wave.

Setup the Ikon section, came with 5 cars. Nice sized attendance at this show even with the issues that've occurred with IFO shows being canceled in the past, nonetheless Houston is showing that we aren't dead at all. Full showings from Team Ikon, Sunworks, 16Niss, Nextstage, 5 star and many more.

Definite favorite car of the show was the S15 16Niss brought out, Wayne and his gang always bring the fucking fire for Texas no matter where the show is. Big giant props to Wayne and the 16Niss crew.

Big props to my teammate Tiny for taking Best Paint and Best Under construction with Purple Wave member #1 and his newly refreshed version of 50's old car (yes Tiny, we'll never let it go, sorry. At least I won't)

Marcus also took home best Mitsubishi with Purple Wave #2 and his newly painted Mitsubishi Eclipse sans his custom stereo setup, which it's now back at ATC for having that installed.

Team Ikon also took home best team representation, which is a definite positive way to start the new show season off.

I'll have pictures up tomorrow for sure as they're still getting touched up in Photoshop, so stay tuned for that.

We'll see you at Tuner Lifestyle Houston.
