My NB made the end of one video and I've seen two or three pictures of it posted so far. It was sitting in front of RevLimiter's tent showing off his products and the few times I was able to look over there was usually a group of people looking it over and taking pictures. We stayed so busy I didn't get to walk the field but some of the things I saw drive by were interesting to say the least.

I did talk to Lars and Steve, although very briefly unfortunately, and I'm not sure if I met any other MT people.

I think my favorite car there was the "off-road" turbo exocet. That thing has to be awesome to drive. Someone has to have a picture of it.

Yeah, I made it home. It was a bit of a squeeze with 2 dudes and a 3" catback in a miata, but we made it work. I got it all mocked up and it looks like it's going to work beautifully. I just need to weld the flange on... oh and get the car running. Thanks again for the quick work!



And now I know how I lose all my flashlights and when I do find them the batteries are always dead. Didn't even realize it was under there until I uploaded the picture

Looks pretty good. Shoot me a pm with your address and I will get the 4th exhaust hanger sent out early next week once I get some more made.

The whole gamut of styles were represented. Yes, there was the usual crap, but there were plenty of well done cars.

Had a great time.

I had a good time even though I grenaded a transmission on the way. Got to talk cats with miata2fast, sixshooter, Ryan_G and shuiend. Definitely a fair share of nonsense there, but also plenty of normal, and a selection of power. It's silly that's always crying for attention and usually gets it. Will post up some pics shortly.

Re: Lars making more mkturbo setups.

That would be awesome man!

Would be great to see your kits in k-swapped cars and on more exocets!

You really captured all of the best bits in that photo. The wing and it's ridiculous angle of attack, the really stupid wing cable supports, the boat anchor God awful wheels, complete lack of rear bumper, and the cheap AutoZone wrinkle bent 2" exhaust pipe extension. That car was truly horrendous.

When I first saw that car, it was from the side and I was sure that was a harbor freight jack handle sticking out.

I thought the EXACT same thing. Someone pointed out the exhaust and I said, "Oh, I thought that was a jack handle. That is so stupid."

Did anyone at least point out how moronic the car is so the moron owner would at least get some sort of reality check in his life?

He probably thinks everyone's envious of his super mad tyte jdm sauce racek0r

Hopefully loud enough for owner to hear?

I take the stance that you can't win an argument with an idiot or a toddler. He is gonna do what he wants regardless of my opinion.

​​​​​​​No, because he would probably be far down the list of people to actually talk to about the moronic mods. As bad as his was, there was far far worse there.
