Carlisle 2010 in pictures: what YOU missed...

[ctnewman]

For the record:

I drive this:




And this:





[Andy took most of these pics, I am sure he has some wonderful color commentary to add to this]

This stop on the way down really set the tone for the trip:




1) Nothing cleans up a cluttered engine bay, while at the same time making it pop to the eye like a little corrugated wire loom...

2) What's the shortest distance between two terminals? Right over the engine! Save weight and wire!



3) What's that you say? You want more accents? No sweat, we sell spraypaint!!! (masking tape/removal tools/ability to aim sold separately)



4) ET for Breather install: 8 seconds (shaved 3 seconds off last year's ET by not trimming ziptie)



This driver/car combo makes sense:





Bugatti Veyron:



It's simple math really:

Orange silicone coupler ($35)

Blue silicone coupler ($15) + Bright Orange Spraypaint ($4) = 19 dollars (aka WIN)
There's plenty of paint in the can to retouch these every couple weeks!

Also check out those terminal strips for easy addition of accessories



Well, might not be enough spraypaint left after the interior dress up, but who cares when you have a CONTROL BOX.



And you know that your worries will melt away while you're flippin these custom mounted switches as your ears are soothed by the blazing treble from these custom tweeters.



3 Words: Rear Mount Turbo



This guy probably used a coil spring for a muffler:



I have no Idea which direction this thing is supposed to drive, but I do know that those doors are secure:



Shaved, leaving no trace of ever having a door handle or lock cylinder...



Find the mod:



Found it:



Medium Blue:


The ninja turtles. Master splinter layin in the grass...



Best (haircut) in show:



Shirt real big, pants real big, Girlfriend real big, everythang real big! (busted taking the pic):



Kitted:



Overspray, or eerie smoke...? you decide. It's like a choose your own adventure!



Being a full time ricer is tiring work:



Having well balanced wheels is important:



AERODYNAMIC AS F*CK



This was a popular color scheme this year:



I see big changes coming in this car's future... (one of my favorite pics)





Good work:







Splatter paint: Timeless style



IDK if this was supposed to look like a skull, but skulls are badass!



Not lowered:



Not sure what this means, but I made sure to watch my 6:



SHAVED:

Rally lights:



See what I mean about splatter paint?



Possible application method:



I was almost sucked into the vortex this car was generating:



I'm REALLY curious as to who commented on this car... Note the commentary on the canards



This guy is obviously a creek fisherman... Got a couplafew largemouths in the trunk:



Seems OK from afar:



On closer inspection, the budget for carbon fiber looked good this year:









I was shielded from being engulfed in this vortex by the midwing:




Inspiration:




Where are they now: Scut Farkes




HID INSTALL:






COLORS!



MOLDED:





Who needs triangulation? Moment loads are a myth. BRACED:



Homemadeturbo.com







Post pics of little kids smoking:



MODIFIED:



APC stickers are getting harder and harder to find. Snagged a prime pic of this near-extinct gem:



MAX frontal downforce: (also wtf wheels)



Dualtone:



Good:



Stuntin:



Andy's favorite car at the show: Bronco notchback







It's still under construction:



Objects in mirror may be to small to see... or on fire:



Who's seen the matrix?





A rule of thumb for modding your car's exterior... Never, Ever, EVER put the plate on straight. Frenched!



Good for gripping:

[ctnewman]

FMCAI:



Mistubishi NSX:



Musta sucked in a coon from the blistering speeds this thing was capable of:



Someone found a use for paul walker's eclipse's floorpan:



Wing risers are an easy way to go from MILD to WILD:



Diagnosing some wiring issues... Fortunately for him, he has rural-batman's utility belt:





This thing seemed interesting from this end...



butttt....................



I know the cage in my car isn't the best... but what the fucking fuck:



This is what happens when you live in a moist climate and have lots of ICE!!!



The only sense I can make of this is that it won "Best scary skull on black, non functional glassed in hood scoop class"



Ben-Hurr really could have used this wheel on his chariot:



Shooting stars, blasting out of a black hole of suck:





Patterns that work well together: Woodgrain and splatterpaint!





Tuner Mirrors:



This car is newer than this jacket. I wonder if he puts blue tape on his jacket if he goes on long runs:



Another aerodynamic wonder:



Supertrapp:



I can assure you that she was not "da 1" for me:



Awesome 3 axle limo... Only slightly Bowed, needs paint. Has hottub:





Scrapercart:



Now, I give you the top "worst in show"

Honorable mention:



Sidemarkers:



NIGHT VISION CAM:



We ain't got that poor-ass PS1 in here, we gots da PS TWO



AKA: when your airbags go off, install PS2 and RACING wheel:

[ctnewman]

Third Last Place:

WIDE:


I know you want to steal this fuelcap, but it's protected behind a sheet of bulletproof lexan:



Gotta love a clean engine bay:



My guess is that every aftermarket accessory is running off the cigarette lighter. Based on the amount of accesories, i'm betting he souped up the lighter supply lines. I see, SAFC, GPS, iPod, PS2, radar detector, DVD headunit, gauges, batman, all wrapped in enough faux CF to make ebay's stock go up:



"Perfect!":



These are not sleepy eyes... these are depressed eyes... Mister number Johnny 5 is sad...



Second Last Place:

Flip flop


Not enough time to shellac the flakeboard this year... Got a nice custom mix varnish coming for 2011, tho...



"Got a screen in the dash, watching saved by the bell got a house by the bayside" Well, the screen in the dash was fake (could see through it in bright light), but u no tha othas is real.



Nice custom gauge setup:



A closer look...



What have we here? The most dangerous gauges to look at ever:



Real wood flames... Real wood crossover/speaker mount:



Did you say you did an "All motor conversion"??? No, I said "Small rotor conversion":



"Now that's a motor" or "least functional strut bar in class"



She bangs:





If someone ever steals this car, it's likely they will run out of gas before figuring out to fill it up:



Custom:



And the winner of this year's "Worst in show":

Last Place:

I LIKE MY CARS HOW I LIKE MY WOMEN: SHAVED AND HAGGARD:

Shaved tails, shaved window, frenched plate


Lol:



Diamond plate armrest:



If I can unbolt it, it's getting painted green (the starter BOLTS were green) (i think he ran out of paint on the intake):



The reason for the last place finish???

This guy definitely moonlights as a plumber... Look at that sweated copper piping... SERIOUS FLOW TO THE AIRRIDE, YO!





But wait, what's that? We had a late entry? This just in:
Ultra-last place: The Dewmeister"



It's got it all. Inverted wing ends:



Sponsors:



Brush paint:



Multi-color interior... custom door speaker pods... Asian dice... One gauge in 3 gauge holder... :



Secured w/ high performace drywall screws:



Well mounted aero:



Custom, clean double cup-holder molded into door:



SLAMMIN SYSTEM (good job, mark):



Smooth body lines:



Body color wheel lip, painted tire letters:



Yes:



Well done, sir. Well done...:

and great commentary! ahah

[ctnewman]

Here's my thread from 2009 from another forum (the references may not all make sense)

These are in chronological order of when I took them:

IDK WTF this thing is, but it appears he forgot he was going to need to put a plate on it... I think it actually was a DSM. It was WIDEBODY.


A pair of really nice his-n-hers neons with matching bodykits.



Really great detail on the airbrushing.


Another shot of the WIDEBODYS. Should do a narrowbody conversion on the GF.



The mach 1 has been sabotaged.


Scavenger hunt item: INTERFOOLER


Really really really siq M3 edition Beretta.:


Got dat lump 4 yo dick


Actually it was an M3/Beretta/vette



That a nitrous bottle under da hood? Oh snap...

no wait... it's just a catch can designed to look like NAWWWS


This monster had to be a local. Arguably one of the worst families I have ever seen, the thing in the stroller was a MONSTER. More on this later...


Bucket-o-balls:


Molded in nitrous bottle surrounded by hi current capacitors... :tup:!




This has to be the biggest clusterfuck of a rear strut/c-pillar brace I have ever seen in my entire life. It's an engineering disaster. The 4 points are very well reinforced, though... :roll2:


Really nice civic type thing. very very smooth and sleek. love it so much:





Really cool lambo doors setup:


Another really nice lambo door setup. I'm stumped as to how you get in, though...


But i assume it would be easier if I knew how to use this:


I really like the look of molded side skirts.


Big pimpin, big girlfriend:


Love the rear end of this bike.


Really got dealt a good hand:


COWL INDUCTION:


Fbody guys really do get all the chix:


Capturing the moment, Carlilse '09. This is totally going on his myspace page:


Just gotta make sure your hair is perfect when you snap dem pix:



THESE CARS WERE IN THE JUDGED SHOWFIELD

Twin supercharged Impala:


This thing must pull HARD!


I was just in awe over how nice this car was:


Super clean engine bay. Degreaser: out, shout carpet cleaner: in.


Snapped this pic for nelstoys:


Again, this is in the JUDGED showfield... for a reason. Such a clean intake:


Got dat skyjacker:


From first glance this seemed just OK:


On closer inspection: EXCELLENT!


The music box:


Ed loves ashley:


Very rare 1998 Volkswagen Smoothnose:


Best in show:


You know a car is hot when the doors open differently. Suicide doors. For real...






Tickle me Honda:


Twin turbo civic. 50% of welds were cracked: The downpipe was missing EVERY bolt.




Another really nice turbo setup:


The monster was hungry. Dad had trouble seeing because his glasses were grey from smoke:


Throwin a fit:


Snagged some vids of above:

MOV03434.flv video by ctnewman2 - Photobucket


All in all I had a REALLY REALLY REALLY fun time. Most of the people I was with were really cool. The best times definitely had NOTHING to do with cars, though. Cop presence was HUGE.

THIS IS OURS, NOW.

[iamtheyi]

lololololololololololololol. I enjoyed that very much

[hailandkill]

was this a car show for 9 year olds?

jesus h. christ.

[rc1honda]

LOL this is the "learned crew" from Nico. Most are pretty cool if you do nothing but agree with them. BTW master splinter is acutally pretty hot.

It could have been Charlize Theron laying there and I would have said the same thing. Just lookin for lolz...

[HyperTek]

i hate to say it, but lack of asian-tune influence to sport compact cars equates to the word rice.

[DALAZ_68]

wow...this thread alone beats the rice the threads every post...but how can you judge rice on amercan/euro!?...lol

[icedsole]

if we had a rep system, i would be pressing the + for hours.

[hockeyrules]

hahahaha so many lols!

[hOngsterr]

great commentary, but you gotta love the clutterness.

[shiftdrift]

i don't even know which picture to comment on, they're all hilarious haha

[driftsilvias13]

Holy shit newman! I feel like I am in 1997.

Hopefully you didnt take the the Lotus there...

[VROOOM]
