Went to my fourth car show on Saturday July 9, 2005. A really good turn out to this event. A lot of tuner cars. A group called Erie Tuners (www.erietuners.com) showed up. And there was a group of tuners from New York (that left quite early). When I first got there I was parked next to some old shits, so I moved one spot down from a sweet green eclipse (see photos). It lasted from 5 to 8 and it was nice to get some exposure for the Saab tuner world. Here are some highlight photos. To see them all go to: http://gallery.gambitdesign.com/robmoul/walmartshow

This guy above got all the attention. He had no doors, no hood, and had three like 22" subs in the back seat powered by like 6 amps and 4 batteries. And he had a full hydraulics system, which sounded sweet when he used it. First time I've seen one of these in person. I saw him later that night, with blue underglow on still driving around town without doors and a hood lol.

There's another car show in Erie on July 23rd that I am planning on attending. Also Hot Import Nights is going to be in Cleveland on August 27th if anyone wants to join me for that. I'll probably post about it later.

WOW. first of all that green eclipse is sooooooooooooooo sweet. its perfectly done...

and the VW LOL...

looked like a lot of fun, beats our car shows (all we have is fucking american muscle, very few imports or turbos show up)
how the hell is that green eclipse sweet?

it is a perfect example of sweet, the front bumper has more of a lip on it away from the headlights than a '57 olds, the wing, wtf is that, it's fwd, it doesn't need a wing, especially since the body kit messes up aerodynamics greatly. i would not own that car if it was given to me, i'd take the motor out and put it in an old mitsubishi truck, so it's a sleeper.

the wing is there for style not downforce, just like every other wing. its sweet because it is all nicely done.... even though the front bumper is a little tooo much for my taste, overall the body kit flows well with the car and i love the color... not to mention the beastmode intercooler and those aftermarket fog lights are a pretty nice touch too...

have fun with your truck, ill take the 'clipse.

the body kit "flows" nice because it's all one company, of course if you took different kits from different companies it'd suck, and look weird

i've seen those fog lights at autozone for 30 bucks, they suck.

style? who cares about style, i care more about functionality and safety while driving, not style, cause any car looks the same driving by, and if it stands out (like that eclipse) then that's one more reason for a cop to pull you over.

sleepers are where it's at dude, i don't care if it's an old shitty truck, a beater minivan, or hell a school bus, a sleeper is a sleeper, that white v-dub van, that's a sleeper, a grand national, that's a sleeper, a dodge caravan tubro (yes they made them like that) is a sleeper, so why wouldn't an old mitsu pick up truck with rust spots, or even a subaru brat (is it a car, or a truck? lol), not be a good choice for an engine swap with a gsx?

My thoughts exactly.

I usually try to stay out of arguments like this because its just not worth it. Listen, peoples' opinions are just that, opinions. You may disagree and you can state that but please do not bicker over something like this. On that note, I love the look of a convertible viggen, nothing quite like it. But at the same time, I really like that green eclipse, and the fact of the matter is, sleeper or no sleeper, that thing would prolly blow the doors off your car.

Yea, something about a Walmart Car Show just doesn't seem right.

Rob, I know this is the 1st Annual.. but please don't post the 2nd.

lol.. A ricer walmart car show.. I guess its the perfect place since walmart sells car accessories and uncle ben's long grain so you can all fill up your cars..

I'm not ragging on your car Rob, but you won't find alot of love on here for your interior, myself included. Different people, different taste. I must say i love your headlights though.

i wouldnt exactly call that place "ricer"... did you see some of the cars in the backround? i didnt see many civics, but i did see some older shits that some people are into but im not...

and if your referring to the eclipse as a "ricer" you might want to watch your wording considering it could put down any ng900 or OG9-3 except for a modded viggen, and even that would be a good race. (unles the engine inside is untouched, but im pretty sure its not by looking at that BEAST intercooler on the front of it)
