Forum Fest 2012 Pictures

Hi all,
I attended my first car show ever, Forum Fest 2012 out in Kent a Pacific Raceways. It's the biggest import car show of the year in WA and was supposed to be a drift, drag and car show but the weather was pure shit so it amounted to a severely limited day. Some incredibly gnarly rain came rolling in, sideways even, leaving everyone to either scramble for cover or to just wet t-shirt contest it. Luckily ledler0321 and Pavementwago both brought big pop up tents which acted as the HCW central command post. I was admittedly super duper tired from staying up way too late the night before doing a couple final touches to the wagon, and I never really recovered the whole day long. A couple beers that ledler was nice enough to share with me got me through part of the day. In total I think that I counted 10 civic wagons at the fest although we didn't all park or roll in together. I didn't shoot near as much as I wanted to due to the weather and being so tired, but here are some shots that I managed to pull off. Honestly the most fun I had was just rolling to the fest in a line of wagons. I am looking forward to the Portland/Seattle meet later on. It was great to meet some of you guys, kick it and rep the wagons!

Commence picture dump. Hope your computer can hang.


Meeting in the Auburn Sports Authority parking lot early AM:

    Nice pics. Sucks about the rain, but it is the NW. Lol. Good thing you guys had the tents. Where's beastmode's wagon? I was thinking knotty's wagon was his cause he was looking for blinds too. Can't wait to see these in person. Looking sharp fellas! Hopefully we have a good turn out at the July Mega NW meet.

  • I still think all our wagons look like monster trucks compared to Gmans. And he can still take it off sweet jumps!!! bahaha
  • beastmodebeastmode Senior Wagonist
    My alignment got f'd up driving back to Portland! dammm transitions/pot holes before and after these bridges. I need to create a mental path when driving to and from Seattle because I at least hit one pothole every time I’m on I5 going north. I was thought in school that the whole purpose of gas tax was to fix our roads! From my understanding that’s the reason for gas tax. Hope forum fest 2013 won’t be a rain out again, wanted to leave my windows down.

    haha I wish i could go lower! But its impossible without other modifications to the suspension, or smaller wheels.

    Apparently I 3 wheel all the time, i had no idea, and probably catch air on a daily basis.

    I'm pretty sure my alignment is messed up too, perhaps I'll get that checked out one of these days.

    I sent stickers... yet I see none in the pics :(

    Mine's on my roof rack just above the Yakima logo...it's just hard to see. Thanks for that though I was stoked to finally get one! I should have taken a better close up, shots of beastmode's wagon (my brother wagon) and should have gotten a better shot of Pavementwago's new wing. I was in pretty serious space cadet/lazy mode. Yeah I kept the blinds a secret until the show, barely got em on in time. Give full credit to beastmode for doing the homework on finding them and working out how to fit them in the wagon. I'll post better pictures sometime. They're all metal, but I'll be looking for replacement slats/blinds made of either plastic or wood to reduce the vibrations. I do love the way they look though! That sucks about the alignments guys. I realized just yesterday that I must have just barely caught my right front fender on my tire and tweeked it in slightly. Damn it! I was hoping I could get away without that happening. Cool to see some other shots from you guys, those Datsun's were sick and those wheels with the crazy stretch were just insane.

    I found a video with our wagons in it on YouTube......about the 4:15 mark:

    Only people from the northwest are allowed to have stickers now? We have been asking about them for how long now and we keep hearing they are coming but you send them out for this meet? That's so messed up.

    I think now you have to give a definite answer on stickers and not beat around the bush.

    I just talked to the owner of the Venetian blinds company the blinds that knottyy and I have installed on our wagons and he said their OK with the info being released on civicwagon.com forum. I had to ask, this is just how i do things and so they can get a heads up on the influx of orders that maybe in the near future from civicwagon.com well i know i'm ordering another set so i can switch up the colors sonnnnn. I'll create a thread in Forum: Bodywork & Cosmetic Modifications for all you guys who say they want blinds...white metal blinds keep an eye out for it. Just a quick note knottyy purchased the last set they had on hand and a new batch is currently being made as i type this second so keep that in mind. Yo knottyy are you gonna create a HOW TO and add to your build and to the thread im going to create since you got the good camera? I only got a blackberry torch 9850 phone/camera which suck compared to what you got.

    Hope this find closes the long search for blinds! Now some one has to close the forever search for direct fit carpet replacement someone needs to do the footwork in finding this.

    Definitive answer- you'll have stickers by October 1st

    lol

    When you organize a group of Civic wagons at a meet called 'forum fest', I'll give you the hookup on stickers. My personal life takes priority over mailing out stickers at members every beck and call. When I'm not living out of boxes, I'll setup paypal. Until then, you wait like the rest.

    Right now, I just flat out don't have time to worry about stickers. In the next month or so, things should be calming down in my personal life. I don't even have time to play with our new software or upload an avatar for christ's sake...

    This is EFing siiick! Actually kind of jealous...
    This particular group of wagons is host to some of my personal favorites on this side of the US... Cool too see them in the same place.
    It is EFin' awesome that you guys showed to a meet, even though it was raining. That would never happen in my region...
    Wagons look great guys!
