JDMC Season Opener (5/6/12) pictures

The meet was organized decently with police helping people cross the road between Al's Beef and the main lot. Parking lot filled up with the modded cars, rather than regular cars.. weather was beyond our control obviously. Javier's CD5 got a lot of attention and people taking pictures of it from different angles and such. Didn't take much pics of other cars since it was raining cats and dogs.

pics are not edited




Looked like it had Mugen bucket seats, though not sure of authenticity.



function - form haha





people got some laughs








trying out zooming, nice results I think

Mugen seats? The car has halo projector ebay special lights, an eBay special type r grill and lip, blacked out tail lights and a tow hook......they are most definitely authentic mugen seats. For sure.

Meet looks decent. Some nice cars!





Lol @ the license plate fail

but the owners were Asian (Japanese perhaps), you never know if they can source the rare parts

edit - or maybe they spent too much money on Mugen seats and had to settle with ebay parts for the rest of the car.

by the way, the meet was filled with tow hooks far as the eye can see!

Meh doesn't look like anything special from the indy ordinary. That skyline is a nice find. Too bad it looked like shit... I'm digging the j swap hatch tho

Agreed

Their season opener looks like a regular night @ Tru... Yesterday there were like 150 cars.. Indy regular>JDMC Meet lol


Did you get any overall parking lot shots?

I fully agree with all of this^

Indy goes harder than Chicago does.....yet we do it twice a week, EVERY single week, with a population that is less than a third the size.

WINNING.


Plus we have an Underground Racing Lambo and the infamous street bike killer civic

We had 300 spots available and every single one was full. Cool story bros.

No overall shots, but we can dig one up from online.

Tru this Tru that.. not many people from Chicago are going to drive that far, we're used to short trips. JDMC is most of the Chicago import community so yeah.

I lol'd.

I believe one has to have seen both sides before making judgement. Chris, myself, Dylan, and Hannah have all been to BOTH Indy and Chi-town meets. Soooo, your argument is invalid







Back on topic. How long was the meet? Everyone leave once the rain hit?

Which Chicago meets have you guys been to? SYL6 was a dumb bootleg meet so that doesn't count. This one was an official JDMC meet, meaning more organized. You guys need to post pics of these so called Tru meets. We post pics and all you guys do is talk trash from behind your keyboards

Me and Javy arrived early around 10:30, it was empty then gradually started filling up. People starting leaving around 2-3pm due to the rain, don't know how many stayed.

Sorry bro, Hard to gauge the size of a meet when you only take pics of 5 cars lol..

Akif, wasn't that YOUR first official Chicago meet?

Yep. Still didn't answer my question though. Pretty sure Hannah attended Wekfest and I remember you having a sticker?

Ive been to a few of the Best Buy meets in the past. They stopped doing them because people kept being ricer fucksticks. I've obviously been to the Accord meets, but those are small. And yes, the SYL meet.

You say the SYL meet wasn't official because it was a "bootleg" meet. What do you think the TRU meets are? lol. If anything can be considered bootleg, its that

oh quintin u havent seen the 670hp rsx running on pump gas.... one night he said "hell i hit fifth gear so i mustve been doing 160.." rsx has 6 gears, and he said hes rebuilding with better parts and tuning it on e85 and its gonna run 900 to the wheels.

and last night me and chris saw a clean wide body 350

edit: oh i should have read all the posts before posting this because chris already covered the topic of this insane rsx

also @akif ujelly

All continuing discussions regarding TRU can be carried out in the TRU meets discussion thread. Thanks guys

haters gun hate, check the minivan with the bike rack, i loled

Ehhh I saw that too. At least you have to give them props for modding a minivan. Tryyyyyying to do the Japanses VIP style with the wheels and the bumper. I can did it, it just needs work

i actually like the lights

Found an overall shot like Chris was asking

I heard some were drifting (or attempting to) in the back


this is a cool shot

Any pics I find of our cars (or at least our cars in it) from JDMC, facebook, blogs people link to, I'll post here.
