IASCA SQC

My build is progressing and I'm thinking about going to SVR if I can finish up. I haven't competed myself since SBN in 2004 and the rules are very different.
If I'm only doing SQC:
1. Do I need a photo log to show all mounting and terminations?
2. Do I do a presentation of the system for the SQ judge.
3. From reading the rules It seems I have to at least show the fuse locations and equipment near drivers seat?
4. Are there any difference in MECA judging procedure?

Any insight is appreciated!

Re: IASCA SQC

You just have to display basic safety features, such as fuses, proper mounting, etc. Documentation is only needed if being judged for install (separate criteria than SQ), or if fuses are hidden from sight.
Certain classes of Emma requires documentation and presentation, such as Master class and higher.

Re: IASCA SQC

iasca and meca have dedicated install classes. in the sqc and sql classes (respectively), both have basic safety requirements like al hinted above.

emma has an install requirement that increases in requirements (and available points) the higher up in classes you go. feels a bit more old-school that way. no rta or spl though ;)

Re: IASCA SQC

Thanks for the info. Just care about SQ side so I don't want to invest time into showing install, I'm pretty sure the safety and integrity aspects ate covered.
I decided to go to SVR and might do multiple its too get more feedback.

Re: IASCA SQC

Thanks, I'm sure I will! I know I'll see people i haven't seen in years. I haven't been to a show as just a competitor since 1992. After that started building other people cars I was either tuning or judging untilI left in 2005. I look forward to being able to doing what i feel like. How to see you there

Re: IASCA SQC

I definitely will. Is going to be nice being at a store and getting to hang out and listen to cars without wiring not worrying about what customer is being judged next. My daughters will probably want to demo some cars too.

I own 3 Mitsubishi's so I don't think I'm allowed to sit in a Subaru? Are your windows tinted at least?

Re: IASCA SQC

I'm really looking forward to SVR this year. I'm hoping to have my trunk done before then so I can have Al and some other guys take a listen...I'll have to figure out if I'm going to stay longer than I did last year to catch some of you guys after competition concludes for the day.

I told and old grind I was going and he sent me this pic from 04 SVR I think. He had the Neon, you can barely see my Legend (r.i.p) in the back. That was my last comp.

Re: IASCA SQC

Oof....that legend was my dream car when I was around 13-17....between that and a '96 Impala. It was the drug dealer's car of choice in the mid 90s down in southside VA. I used to see a champagne gold sedan with the gold trim package and limo tint driving around my hometown all the time...never saw the guy (or girl) but I do remember that he had a mean sounding system in it.

What did you have in that build?

Re: IASCA SQC

That build was an accident really. I loved driving that car and would drive to shows all over the east coast with our group of customers. Local shows never had enough competitors so I started entering with the stick Bose system. Most shows it wasn't even judged because they didn't have a copy of the official iasca cassette. I wind up winning my zone and some trips and manufacturers started asking if I was competing at finals and what equipment I was running.
We said screw it and threw a system together.
P9 setup, IDMax 12's IB, Utopias in the kicks, powered by Zapco 4.0 and 9.0.
Focals were given to me at the hotel the day before finals. Had about an hour of tuning just before judging, center was 4" off from pass seat and I knew subs could blend better. Got 2nd to the Focal Euro champ by .6 points.
Won SBN and SVR then it was totaled along with a customers car when a dodge pickup lost control and demolished it while parked. Pushed into the other car and totaled that too. Only equipment that survived was the Amps and DVD changer.
Look for Legends every now and then but want the 94-95 champagne edition with Acura Hammers and a 6 speed. Found 1 that was pristine but the woman wouldn't sell.

Re: IASCA SQC

Just the Factory Tint for now. I just lifted it two inches with Flatout-coilovers and added a trailor mount spare tire holder. New wheels and Tires too.

Re: IASCA SQC

That sounds pretty awesome and a hell of a story. Hell of a placement for something that you had little to no time to truly dial in. Shame what happened to it.....I had a period in about 2005 when I was seriously looking at a few Legends in the Richmond area but couldn't make myself pull the trigger. Marriage and the potential for children put the brakes on that....in hindsight given how things went...I should have just bought that and the damn Impala lol. Thanks for sharing the story.

Re: IASCA SQC

At that time I had a 4 year old so I told my wife I'd replace it with a 4 door. I bought the Evo to fill that obligation and have some fun. My youngest are 15 now but I still have this in the back seat. My wife Hates the Evo and lived the Legend so I have a green light to switch back now.
