Hot Import Nights

I'm going to be there with my crew, but uncertain if the Evo will make a debut or not...

im sure it will, AMS's Evo was at Import Rev last time, although it didnt make the biggest crowd, it was still a good site!

Import Nights is all about show and not SO much go so it all depends what youv've done i guess. well it should still be fun for you though

I was at IREV and never really got to give my personal inspection of the AMS Evo cuz I was busy walking around.

I'm not a fan of car shows, but my team and I go just to represent the REAL scene, show these people what street-driven cars look like, not the rice people are so familiar with seeing on the street or super-fixed up cars that never see daylight outside of their trailer. People see a CRX with a Supra wing and think that represents us. People see the Fast and the Furious movies and think that our exhausts breathe fire. Well no - THAT does not represent us!

We go to car shows with no stickers (unless sponsored), no over-the-top body kits, no DUBS, no neons, no indiglos, no sound systems, no 3 NAWZ bottles in my passenger seat, ALL OUR SEATS ARE STILL IN OUR CARS, no wild *** paint jobs...in other words NO RICE!

We hardly ever get a crowd because our cars aren't aesthetically pleasing (we don't have stripper-type models either), but only REAL PEOPLE TRUE TO THE SCENE can appreciate performance.

How performance-oriented are we? Out of 12 cars in my team, we have 8 turbo cars right now. Our guy with the Prelude is getting an STI. I'm getting an Evo. Our guy with the Celica is getting the XS turbo upgrade and our guy with the B18 in his Civic is going with a Rev Hard turbo - all this happening this year.

But do we get glorified with HIN trophies? Nah...who needs accolades like that? We get our respect at the street and on the track. Respect from your racing peers, now THAT is something worth having. Trophies for having the best undercarriage? Fudge that...

Hahaha! ICE is aight. Gotta have music when you drive, you know?

You can check our site. It's the link in my signature. It's sorta updated.

As for HIN, I think we might even skip this one. Some of us are just getting too tired of doing it.

But for sure we'll be there at BATTLE OF THE IMPORTS. September baby! Can't wait!
