Although I can’t say it’s my usual crowd or style, I can say that I did enjoy my time there and it’s definitely one worth checking out every year. Thanks again for the crew for allowing me to experience the show.

The fourth generation Mitsubishi Eclipse. This one is modified with a wide body and Kansai wheels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/965e559e-fd1d-46ca-8cbb-7e52654fa39e/DSC06439.jpg keys - Tuner Spirit 2025 - Make it stand out John’s Voltex S2000 also representing with First Gear Project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/80ac71e7-f6e0-4aca-93f1-911d9a5b66b9/DSC06436.jpg keys - Tuner Spirit 2025 - Make it stand out Gelo’s Civic Si took home best bagged stance award. I saw on his Instagram that someone stole the $20 that’s seen here tucked up against his front fender and wheel… That’s petty. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/9cb3c40b-20e1-4536-860b-8238e81e34bc/DSC06506.jpg keys - Tuner Spirit 2025 - Make it stand out Dumped on a wide set of Work Meister S1s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/f3f7537e-e363-4930-bf37-8222578cb81e/DSC06560.jpg keys - Tuner Spirit 2025 - Make it stand out Tuner Spirit also had 4 larger scale top awards that they handed out as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/3be20097-0265-4a97-9575-3817745d9fa8/DSC06137.jpg keys - Tuner Spirit 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/fbe72fc3-3a22-4ec7-8ea0-ba0b0737ca69/DSC06395.jpg keys - Tuner Spirit 2025 - Make it stand out Rocket Bunny FR-S on a chrome set of Work VS-XX. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/63070992-7631-42ab-8dec-304eaed75f13/DSC06597.jpg keys - Tuner Spirit 2025 - Make it stand out Super cool car to see.

Stock body on a subtle set of Enkeis. From the front and side profile, there isn’t really much that screams aftermarket. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/b9c0a2d7-9d71-4d0c-96f5-81ea3ce8bff9/DSC06167.jpg keys - Tuner Spirit 2025 - Make it stand out Zee’s Nismo R34 GTR Z-Tune.

This Supra came equipped with carbon accents and bead lock wheels in the rear. I saw this car on the dyno a week earlier at Zee’s Garage’s dyno day and it seemed to be having some issues on the top end. Hopefully the owner was able to figure out the issue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/782a4ff8-ddb8-4d36-9d73-df0795ef6b20/DSC06306.jpg keys - Tuner Spirit 2025 - Make it stand out Looking into the rear cabin of this Audi, is a whole ass JET ENGINE. Somehow the owner of this car got to mounting a jet engine and (presumably) work in conjunction with the car engine up front. Super curious to know how this was all put together and how it all functions. Crazy to see. How does one even acquire a jet engine?? Not pictured, but the exhaust from the jet engine ports out through the trunk. The only thing that screams odd from the exterior was the massive oval shaped hole cut into the trunk which allowed an opening for the exhaust of this engine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/6d9a409e-9c9e-4fb7-9b3f-d532527b36ef/DSC06349.jpg keys - Tuner Spirit 2025 - Make it stand out Another car that you don’t see often modified is this Mazda 3. Slammed on Work LS507 wheels and paint matched lip and side skirts, this was quite nice to see something a little less ordinary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/41f7f4f0-6291-4c93-aa5f-ca1c1ebb6224/DSC06169.jpg keys - Tuner Spirit 2025 - Make it stand out Nissan 240SX that looks relatively stock on the outside until you see the beadlock wheels in the back with a drag radial tire… Underneath the hood is a fully built turbocharged 2JZ making serious power… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/58ffd9a0-6270-49fd-864d-4b51563898b2/DSC06580.jpg keys - Tuner Spirit 2025 - Make it stand out I dig the black on black.

This one on Work Meister S1s. I don’t know the specs of the wheels but they had a stretched 145/65R15 tire on them… I don’t even know how you find that tire size, nor what they were made for... Maybe Smart car? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/79475482-15d6-439f-962b-f0462f176faa/DSC06264.jpg keys - Tuner Spirit 2025 - Make it stand out MK4 Supra with Ridox style front bumper, top secret hood and Blitz 03 wheels.

I think it could have gone without that modification… but to each their own. Otherwise it’s a good look with modest fender flares and a good fitting wheel and tire set up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/1c0f0391-0473-4745-9c9a-a87ed33bb23e/DSC06296.jpg keys - Tuner Spirit 2025 - Make it stand out Clean E30 3 series coupe on classic set of BBS RS wheels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/9fc8ad7d-a15a-4166-806d-9bd01d6d72b1/DSC06196.jpg keys - Tuner Spirit 2025 - Make it stand out John’s EM1 Civic Si.

I forget what was swapped as it’s been a while between me writing up this post and the show, but by the looks of it, a Toyota 1JZ now powers this Nissan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/6f1ab9b9-ca75-4ae2-a3f3-8661b19fbcef/DSC06574.jpg keys - Tuner Spirit 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/95ec466d-ec4b-44d9-8d37-acf7ea36d7ba/DSC06563.jpg keys - Tuner Spirit 2025 - Make it stand out Where they had games and festivities planned throughout the day - like musical chairs where any audience members could partake in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/af85cba0-a6a3-4b7d-aba4-80b435eb9dd6/DSC06377.jpg keys - Tuner Spirit 2025 - Make it stand out Mikuni Kulture booth also selling their merch and brought out a Nissan Stagea to show as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/7f447ef8-f69e-4991-a816-61845fa1b5bd/DSC06442.jpg keys - Tuner Spirit 2025 - Make it stand out Jamie brought out his DC5 RSX to represent with his new addition of TE37SLs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/974c7f39-cb1a-4986-83a0-604f7b81c7cd/DSC06276.jpg keys - Tuner Spirit 2025 - Make it stand out BMW M2 with carbon aero. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/dff75cc1-273a-4b61-9869-620938691ef0/DSC06192.jpg keys - Tuner Spirit 2025 - Make it stand out A80 Supra on a set of Niche wheels.

I’m gonna come off as an ass here, but I just gotta say it - it’s ghetto. I know someone put effort into this, but there are so many little things that are done poorly and it shows. I won’t go into details, but the cumulation of all these shortcomings really take away from what this car could and should be. It’s one thing for something to be aesthetically unpleasing, it’s another to be straight up hazardous. I hope people don’t take this the wrong way - My intention is not to throw shade at this car or the owner. On the contrary, I really wanted to like it. This could have been so good if a little more care and thought went into the process. It has all of the right things, they just needs the attention to get it cleaned up.

First up they brought out a FD3S Mazda RX-7, keeping the exterior quite simple with a Mazdaspeed A-Spec front bumper, rear quarter overfenders and chrome 5 spoke wheels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/3af9a1f2-9a3e-4178-8bcd-bf58a604e885/DSC06354.jpg keys - Tuner Spirit 2025 - Make it stand out Bill’s S15 Silvia - also no stranger to car shows and showing out at Tuner Spirit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/d6794221-d9d5-4026-bdb1-8729b1c2b1d4/DSC06115.jpg keys - Tuner Spirit 2025 - Make it stand out Bug eye Impreza WRX STi with Greddy front lip and Advan R6 wheels.

The stance on this Legacy looks great with a meaty tire size and OG CE28N. Along with the wheel set-up, this car hints to have seen track time as the owner also had their helmet and racing gloves on display on the front passenger seat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/15a44dab-1a00-4e74-8a3b-56343d9774a1/DSC05597.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/4ffef930-574d-4d72-b064-538d08297c98/DSC05311.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out Heading into the main entrance of the convention centre, we see Josh’s clean FB Civic Si.

Equipped with ASM front and rear bumper, rear wing, hood and side skirts, Jon’s S2000 is nearly complete down to the BBS Clearway wheels. Jon also has ASM fenders in his possession but hasn’t quite committed to them yet - but in due time, I’m sure we will see them on his car. Stopping this roaster is a set of Alcon calipers. Such a well executed car and it shows… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/1d6dcfca-088a-4189-bd41-e9a5a93823cc/DSC04918.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out Carried through into the interior is the ASM theme with a pair of ASM Recaro RS-G racing buckets, each with an ASM side bolster and steering wheel.

Seeing a stock F335 already is rare - seeing one so tastefully modded with hints of Japanese influence is just something else incredible. Staged front and centre for good reason. This was definitely the headliner of the entire show. It was a long day for everyone who was a part of the show and I was especially feeling fatigued towards the end - but as the show was ending and people were getting ready to leave, I got a second wind knowing that my favourite part of the day (us all leaving) was coming up. Ever since last year’s show, I’ve been wanting to get photos of cars leaving the venue as the convention centre makes for a unique backdrop - at least in Calgary. We don’t often have car shows held indoors, and none that are as nice and well lit as the Telus Convention Centre. I made an honest effort trying to get a photo of every car leaving, but of course only a handful turn out. Everything was moving so quickly and I was also playing around with different shutter speeds during roll out so many of these are all from the same angle, but I tried to get some different perspectives when I could. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/22b179c1-cfaf-4c6b-b3b9-6c2ffdc46b0b/DSC05241.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out Great colour choice on this Miata. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/2e2f3f43-8c22-4796-bc93-dcdb391e6236/DSC05070.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out On the other side of Levi’s GTR are his monoblock set of LM-GT4s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/b6f917f3-8047-4be2-ad7a-d3b55ea33603/DSC05880.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/93b744e5-9a23-4b9a-947b-73ae95db6666/DSC05065.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out Eric’s S2000 with a recently large update to his engine bay.

He recently just traded for this Integra after searching for a Phoenix Yellow ITR for quite some time. A close friend of his was ready to give it up, so the timing just worked out for Steve. If you follow the import scene, you’ll undoubtedly know this car.

It was cool to see both Spoon FK8s side by side with the same aero - just styled differently - street vs race, I guess you could say. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/e915080b-56dd-4300-81a0-47cdc467bda3/DSC04908.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out Jamie pulled up in his Track built RSX with Brandon as his passenger princess. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/ec9bf02a-57cb-4721-be78-d8ecb8393473/DSC05394.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out But also maybe this owner had something they wanted to keep a bit of a secret… tucked out of plain sight on the floor behind the passenger seat was this bottle wrapped in a heater… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/53efd121-4f21-4c62-a421-151255202bda/DSC05283.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out Subaru WRX dressed as a Red Bull purple edition can.

Also with a front splitter. I’ve noticed a lot of splitters lately on cars (especially at this show) that all share the same silhouette or style. Is this a new fad, or has this always been a thing? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/6c586536-c484-426e-bae9-78ca1e984983/DSC05126.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out I couldn’t tell you about everything that is going on here, but I can say that a lot of parts and upgrades have been added through-out this engine bay. Upon first glance, I notice that entire car is controlled by a Haltech Nexus R3 VCU. Almost every component looks to have received and upgraded aftermarket variant. It doesn’t even need to be said, but I will say it anyway, clearly lots of time and effort went into building this motor to make reliable and healthy horsepower. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/78fb6717-53bd-4231-a78a-22e51fef1961/DSC05954.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/e75b38f8-5c8a-42f3-8715-474bbc08c41b/DSC05125.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out Ryan of VEX Performance’s RX-7 with a MazdaSpeed A-Spec bumper, rear wing, and MazdaSpeed MS1 wheels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/b3695144-a9fb-4da6-963b-0f28d0b1a78c/DSC05179.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out Looking into the rear of his Jetta, You’re immediately drawn to the pleated leather details in the back seats which also carries over onto to the rear deck lid, arm rest, door cards and pillars.

Rev Up continually brings out some of the absolute best tuners from Alberta and beyond. It was great to see some new cars, as well as old and how people are still trying to push and evolve their cars over the years. Thanks again to the entire crew, exhibitors, spectators and everyone else involved who made this event a fun one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/528b5dc1-a81e-4da3-919b-778fd79a8b98/DSC05146.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out Jolo’s mint Varis Evo X. Jolo usually rolls around in his S2000, so seeing this out in the wild is a welcome change. Tastefully modded if you ask me.

The tucked and shaved engine bay makes the 3 rotor engine with ITB look as if it’s floating. This is so well done, it’s actually flawless. I don’t know if people can truly appreciate the work done here as only a small few understand what it actually takes to accomplish this and to achieve a result like this. Check out the rotary shaped bolts that hold down the front cooling plate. Somehow I missed getting a photo of the actual car while inside the venue, but I did get some earlier and after while he was leaving (posted below). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/2e36fcf3-3308-432b-b11c-e49b88547a0a/DSC05508.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/6bcdf378-95e4-4405-89e4-40ec95c299f1/DSC05086.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out Parked beside Tristan’s car is another Varis kitted WRX STi, with this one being their Version 2 widebody kit. Aired out on Volk 21C, I believe this car was just recently finished, or I just haven’t seen it before. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/7eccdbff-8df3-4cf3-b9a5-ad1c3ff337b4/DSC05324.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out Fitted with a great fitting set of Volk Racing ZE40s.

Ricky’s been out of the scene for a bit ever since he parted out his MKV GTI, but since the acquisition of his Supra he’s been slowly getting back into the tuning scene. He just got his Advan GTs a few month earlier and finished off his stance with the help of a set of springs to get the height just right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/c1ff8d2e-29f3-43bc-8b92-a188a19baad0/DSC05767.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/c0cd0284-b8af-4f0d-8542-36643d584453/DSC05270.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out All green interior wrapped in suede.

The Kraftwerks kit for the S2000 does come with a different charger compared to the 8th gen Civic, but the torque difference felt unjust to me . That quick ride along got me itching for a bit more power in my own car… Check out this super rare and great looking BackYard Special carbon radiator cooling plate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/79bcb871-c8a1-4acd-980c-3d4c677cf5aa/DSC05102.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out Varis Ultimate Aero kitted Evo X representing in the Beyond Auto booth with Volk ZE40s, and a pair of red Recaro RS-GS inside. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/6fd1f886-644c-409c-8fb8-701e137994fc/DSC05436.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/e64f1c71-0c21-4028-b2a2-9c147be02f44/DSC05104.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out Also showing with the classic Toyotas is this 2nd gen Celica in showroom condition as well. An SSR classic Formula Mesh wheel sets this Celica off just right. I didn’t end up getting a photo of the engine bay, but this Celica was turbocharged. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/de2629b6-d41c-4801-aee9-0e1f30a2077f/DSC05110.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out One of my personal favourites from the show was this one owner factory supercharged MR2 with Work Equip 40 wheels.

That goes to show just how rare these are now. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/2445737c-773c-40ce-93ef-aa2a5772cca6/DSC05720.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/e8f66523-31e6-42e9-8c40-80823cb12db3/DSC05887.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/05f779ee-eca1-4df0-85ca-22324a5abe5d/DSC05151.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out An Infiniti G37 with a similar recipe as the previous 370Z.

Punit and Levi had the idea of having a set of monoblock wheels on one side of their car, and multi-piece wheels on the other. Punit had a pair of MF10s on one side, and MF7s on the other. They were bummed they didn’t get to park next to each other at the show, lol.

In the background here, check out how JC and Mark pointing out to everyone how Jason missed cleaning off the dirt along the soft-top. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/5c5132fa-37f2-4c5e-86ed-738839fe488e/DSC05281.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out S15 Silvia with gold Advan AVS Model 6 wheels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/ff7d4815-7f75-474c-ab50-2408ea0d55d7/DSC04923.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2025 - Make it stand out Phuong made the trip down from Edmonton in his FL5 Civic Type R.

Again, I’m guessing it’s for light refraction and/or diffusion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/9dd90252-4633-4395-90d0-811e56a97c1a/DSC01107.jpg keys - FD2R Headlight Conversion - Make it stand out A before photo of the stock CSX headlight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/6e15814a-7a24-4ef4-9a07-af8ece5fc2ad/DSC04053.jpg keys - FD2R Headlight Conversion - Make it stand out Looking at the low beam reflector bowl, there are also differences in the design. The JDM one has a pattern of thicker sections that span across the lower floor of the bowl, and along the inside of the bowl, there is a larger area without a break in the reflector. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/bbdab620-fcd5-489d-8f95-c515325933af/DSC01106.jpg keys - FD2R Headlight Conversion - Make it stand out You can see that they even included the broken tab with the headlight. Could have very well plastic welded these tabs back on to be useable. Again, not something I’d want to put on my car, but for someone who wouldn’t mind - these would have been a great project to restore and then you’d have Type R headlights for dirt cheap. All it needs is some tab repairs and a really good polishing of the lens. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/b1efa53d-83e0-4950-be9f-a305ae001d49/DSC04040.jpg keys - FD2R Headlight Conversion - Make it stand out Fast forward, I finally get around to opening up the headlights to do the swap. Left is the JDM Civic Type R headlight and on the right is my stock Acura CSX Type S headlight. These photos do not capture the real state of these headlights (I think they photograph better than they are) but it may give you a slight idea of what I was dealing with. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/76e20225-baf2-4eca-9e68-2014e3c2d225/DSC04056.jpg keys - FD2R Headlight Conversion - Make it stand out Looking on the backside of the headlight, there are also some differences. On the JDM headlight, the light adjustment knob is located along the top edge pictured here. The JDM headlights also do have auto-leveling. Something the CAN market never got. I did get the motors included with the JDM lights, but I’m missing the wiring, controller unit, and all the necessary hardware required to make it work. Would have been cool to have, but really a small luxury that I’d probably never notice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/5f18fa37-2d3a-4ea6-880a-7aa58850be49/DSC04067.jpg keys - FD2R Headlight Conversion - Make it stand out Flipping the JDM housing around, you can see the adjustment screw which pivots the reflect bowl. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/8d4c574b-6f8c-434e-a451-1b39bc5f1163/DSC01105.jpg keys - FD2R Headlight Conversion - Make it stand out This headlight mounts with 3 bolts. Here along the bottom was the broken tab that attaches the headlight to the fender and headlight support bracket. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/a0fde18f-5830-434e-8544-baa3eeacf737/DSC04087.jpg keys - FD2R Headlight Conversion - Make it stand out An after with the new headlight installed… The weather wasn’t too nice the day I installed these so I didn’t take the car out that day, so no photos of the entire car yet. It’s really a small change, but it makes a whole ton of difference to me and in some ways completes and cleans up the front end. A mod that only a very few will ever notice, but it’s the minor details that really make things special to me. Now the last part from the front end missing is a hood, and then the exterior will really be complete… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/a4900a0d-950c-4682-8a33-314b03d1f3e6/DSC04065.jpg keys - FD2R Headlight Conversion - Make it stand out Behind the housing lens, I initially thought there was nothing infront of the turn signal bulb when I looked through the lens.

There’s also a small peak or dip on the top side of the bowl, whereas the JDM version has this feature missing. I’m not a light doctor, so I don’t know exactly what the positioning or design within the bowl does for light refraction. I can only assume that people much smarter than me designed these reflectors to stay in accordance with traffic safety laws and regulations in their destined countries. All I know is the factory light output is trash and a cutoff is non-existent in my CSX headlights. Even though these are HIDs, the halogen style reflector is ass. I was interested to see if there would be any difference in the output pattern between the two, but I didn’t have enough equipment at home to do any bench testing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/5e1dbaef-9631-4c10-962d-6d3af975bed5/DSC04057.jpg keys - FD2R Headlight Conversion - Make it stand out Here is the CSX headlight. Notice how the provision for the adjustment screw used on the JDM light is blocked off here. Also, notice how there is a bulb socket apparent here, but not on the JDM one, which is blocked off instead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/34b7d4d4-a68a-4f25-9022-0b72fee8021e/DSC04070.jpg keys - FD2R Headlight Conversion - Make it stand out The clear reflector.

The CAD spec actually requires that section of the light to be illuminated by a lightbulb, whereas the JDM spec only acts as a reflector. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/cbfcee91-75f5-4574-b3f1-27f513647a2a/DSC01103.jpg keys - FD2R Headlight Conversion - Make it stand out After about two months, my highly anticipated package arrived. I didn’t really know what to fully expect, but the listing ended up being quite accurate. It mentioned that the headlights had deep scratches, broken tabs, and lens discolouration, as well as being in un-useable condition. For the price, it was a low risk to take. Props to the Japanese Up Garage worker(s) who packaged these… both headlights were fully covered and wrapped in multiple layers of bubblewrap. Even for something they consider to be literal trash, they still put in maximum effort and care to package them extremely well. There was probably more packaging used to package these than what Honda would have used to ship a brand new OEM set. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/4f5bbecd-2b83-476a-9459-f7715419b2da/DSC04080.jpg keys - FD2R Headlight Conversion - Make it stand out After a bit of going back and forth with which reflector bowl I wanted to go with, I ultimately chose to stick with the stock CSX reflector. It really came down to the fact that the ones from my CSX were cleaner. It’s hard to tell from a photo but the chrome on the JDM reflector showed signs of hazing. This typically happens from excessive heat, and there’s no way (that I know of) that can restore the brightness and shine to the chrome. Staying with the CSX reflector also ensures I maintain the proper light projection for LHD vs RHD roads. Not that it really matters in this case cause these headlights have shit output. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/a6dc2da9-d8e4-478d-85af-aef1f7494319/DSC04085.jpg keys - FD2R Headlight Conversion - Make it stand out Sealed and all back together. Canadian spec reflectors and headlights with JDM Type R bezel and clear corner. This probably is the best combo of light performance and cosmetics I could ask for with what I had. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/2b1df6ef-2bcf-449e-b45b-b7a0e3de78fc/DSC04071.jpg keys - FD2R Headlight Conversion - Make it stand out The amber lens.

Minor changes, but most notable is the gloss black vs black chrome trim, and the amber vs clear corner reflector. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/56658822-73a6-4d75-9d32-95a9908a1876/DSC04081.jpg keys - FD2R Headlight Conversion - Make it stand out The stock CSX reflector bowl. Much better condition than the JDM ones I got. The high beam/day-time light between the two are identical and do not have any differences that I could see. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/be32203a-e5d9-44d5-ae7e-99c10c21ac52/DSC04075.jpg keys - FD2R Headlight Conversion - Make it stand out Another interesting difference is that the JDM HID sits at an angle, while the CSX HID sits perpendicular to the bottom edge. I don’t know what affect or significance this has. Otherwise, the rear side of the reflector bowl looks identical in all other aspects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/2afa7f56-7ecc-4ee4-acd6-a568c51e6678/DSC01104.jpg keys - FD2R Headlight Conversion - Make it stand out Honestly, I was pretty happy with what I ended up receiving. I mean, in the condition they arrived, they definitely aren’t something I’d install onto my car, but I do think the condition of these were much better than I had anticipated and what I think the listing suggested. The right hand side lens had some minor scuffing on the lens and a broken tab. The left hand side headlight did show more damage with the lens being hazed. I don’t think these are actually that bad and could be restored to a useable state. While these had already exceeded my expectations, what I really needed to find out is the condition of the inside bezel trim and I’d only find out what they really looked like only after I open them up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/4dd81e44-d1ee-4add-bddc-7a2fdbd3eb8f/Screenshot+2025-05-04+at+6.26.37%E2%80%AFPM.png keys - FD2R Headlight Conversion - Make it stand out So why a set of junk headlights you might ask. Well, my idea was that since I only really needed the trim bezel inside the headlight, I thought maybe I’d be able to simply swap that bezel over into my OEM CSX headlights and then I’d have a cheap set of JDM headlights. For this price, it couldn’t hurt to at least try. My OEM headlights are still in great condition, and this way, I could keep the proper LHD light projection by keeping the reflectors the same within the CSX headlights. I went back through my email and found the link to the original post. This was the exact item I purchased. Note the warning and label they gave these headlights. After shipping and other fees I paid a grand total of ¥14,615 - approximately an equivalent of $140 CAD at the time of ordering. I actually had ordered and received these over a year ago since this time of posting, but only got around to doing the swap and install now. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/6f334ff5-08e9-463a-a36d-c9c7a55e8908/DSC04063.jpg keys - FD2R Headlight Conversion - Make it stand out Both headlights opened up now and ready for some swapping around.

Here in the JDM lamp, there is some “steps” in the very corner of the lens, and also steps in the plastic cover for the turn signal. https://www.keysautoclub.com/blog/converting-into-an-fd2r-civic-type-r monthly 0.5 2025-01-01 https://www.keysautoclub.com/blog/fox-20-suspension-upgrade monthly 0.5 2024-12-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/ad3369e8-75c5-452d-aef1-ff19e1d5fd03/DSC01059.jpg keys - Fox 2.0 Suspension Upgrade - Make it stand out Rear reading shows approximately 38.75” from the floor to fender arch.

I was pretty decided on Fox once I had a ride in Nick and Kim’s old Lexus GX470 which had a similar set-up using Fox’s 2.5 series struts. I’ve been in trucks equipped with Dobinsons, Bilsteins, Kings, and Icon all alike, but I found that Fox’s just felt the most compliant. I simply found that they had the smoothest and plush road handling characteristics - important to me as the truck sees city roads 99% of the time. I also knew these would be able to handle anything I’d ever throw at them going off-road. There of course are many factors in play, being all different trucks with different set ups, but I really wanted to replicate a similar ride quality to the GX470 which I found to be the most comfortable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/24367876-921a-4ace-bb3f-71144f645c18/DSC01073.jpg keys - Fox 2.0 Suspension Upgrade - Make it stand out Here is the rear side. Strut is also blown (all four corners are). While the Eibach Stage 1 Pro-Kit is a good value suspension lift with a limited lifetime warranty, I’ve just seen so many of them with leaking issues. Eibach would have covered these struts, but it’s just a hassle to go through warranty just to eventually have the replacements do the exact same thing a year later. I use the truck as a daily driver with the occasional light duty off-roading. This set has probably only seen ~ 15,000 kms prior to removing and they started leaking many kms before then. The rear drive side is probably the crustiest section of my truck. The rear bumpstop rusted off earlier in the year, but it’s on my list to do. The gas tank skid plate is also rusted right through. I changed out the straps for the gas tank pretty early on during my ownership, but I’ll eventually have to get a new gas tank skid. That may be something I try to design and fabricate myself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/e80ab721-2889-49ae-a45e-a733b6d5cfa3/DSC01093.jpg keys - Fox 2.0 Suspension Upgrade - Make it stand out The rears are just under 40”, call it 39.875”. Quite level and sitting close to the way I wanted it. Could use a bit more front rake, but I’m choosing to be happy with where they are since adjusting the front coilovers suck. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/a44dedd1-8fb4-4145-9b15-d4d8fd219146/DSC01049.jpg keys - Fox 2.0 Suspension Upgrade - Make it stand out Pulled in the 4Runner to take some before photos of the ride height with the Eibach Stage 1 Pro-Kit installed.

Please excuse the crusty-ness. It’s a bit embarrassing showing the underside here cause it’s not in the best shape it could be, but the underside and frame will be something I will eventually address to refresh, come spring/summer. This is probably why I originally hesitated to blog about this, lol. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/2b15bec8-552f-4174-8861-ff5569032e66/DSC01050.jpg keys - Fox 2.0 Suspension Upgrade - Make it stand out The wheel and tire set up for the curious ones: Wheels: TE37 Progressive 18×9 +0 Tires: Falken Wildpeak AT3/W 295/70R18 I also am using a 1.25” wheel spacer. The spacer definitely does not help with the rubbing as it increases the scrub/turning radius, but here I was hoping the new suspension lift would provide the correction I need even with the spacers compounding the issue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/1b01439a-692b-42e1-ae2d-6b4e671cf2f3/DSC01094.jpg keys - Fox 2.0 Suspension Upgrade - Make it stand out Shit still rubs. Much less, but it still rubs. It’s tolerable right now, but I will have to look into other options on how to make additional clearance. The steel around the cab mount is already pretty much as close as I can get it before cutting into the mount itself. It is also about time I do the lower control arms as well since the bushings and ball joint are original (as far as I know) and the cam adjustment bolts are pretty seized. Maybe getting a bit more caster out of those bolts may give me enough. Now to bite the bullet and buy new OEM control arms, or try my luck at rebuilding an old set… Verdict: The Fox suspension was everything I expected. Comfortable ride quality with great handling characteristics on and off road. These are not going to be as soft as an OEM spring and strut, but it’s still what I’d consider plush for a truck. It absorbs the bumps well and does rebound fast, but it’s not jarring. Overall I’m pleased with my experience driving on them (close to a year since I’ve installed them now). One thing that I love too from Fox is how well the struts have held up, cosmetically. I did not treated the strut bodies, nor give them any special attention when washing the truck, and the finish on the aluminum bodies just hold up so well. They still look brand new today. I’ve seen other struts that have seen less duty on them, but look way worse. I’m not sure if it’s a coating issue or what, but Fox has got it right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/e8b271f3-47d7-4cc4-b900-31072fe1b086/DSC01086.jpg keys - Fox 2.0 Suspension Upgrade - Make it stand out Front suspension put back together with the truck back on the ground. I love how the Fox and Dobinson logos peak out from behind the tire. That way nobody at Costco needs to ask me about what lift I’m on - they can just look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/b131eb7b-25fe-4b99-8018-9cd647158780/DSC01089.jpg keys - Fox 2.0 Suspension Upgrade - Make it stand out AFTER With the Fox suspension installed.

One for comparison and two, set the height of the new Fox front coilovers. From the floor to the bottom of the front fender arch reads approximately 37.5”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/ffac758a-86d8-4815-a5ee-b277dca5e52a/DSC01076.jpg keys - Fox 2.0 Suspension Upgrade - Make it stand out The rear struts and springs laid out. New vs old. For the rear springs I chose to stay a little more conservative with an Icon 2” lift rear spring. Nick was really pushing me to go 3”, and a part of me did want to follow suite, but I ultimately decided on 2” cause Viv and I are both short and we need to be getting into the truck still with relative ease. I get size envy parking next to the taller Toyota trucks when I’m next to them at the Costco . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/fca8dc99-872d-41a2-8e0a-62e426549e61/DSC01084.jpg keys - Fox 2.0 Suspension Upgrade - Make it stand out I went with Dobinsons upper control arms. These tubular arms have 3 degrees of caster already built into the design of the balljoint angle which will allow the front caster to be adjusted back within spec.

I ended up going with an 8” as that is the factory size and I wanted to be able to reuse the factory enclosure and place it into the same location. I also did not want to make any modifications to the factory panels. I’m not sure if a 10” would fit behind the factory panel in the same location. I also did not want to build a new enclosure either. Maybe a shallow mount 10”, but that felt like a compromise that I didn’t think would perform any better (very possibly worse) than a standard sized 8” sub. I did not take the time or effort to calculate the volume of the factory sub enclosure as there wouldn’t really be much I could do if it was incorrectly matched anyways. It sounds fine to me. Joe also used a bit of dynamat scraps to help create a tighter seal between the subwoofer and enclosure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/0aed913f-e9d1-48ff-87f6-46264bbacf5a/DSC01274.jpg keys - 4Runner Audio Build - Make it stand out All of the speaker wiring pulled out to the amp. Looks like a mess, but it’ll be quick work to clean it up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/089d4ff0-40cf-42a3-b0bb-367fc86b859c/DSC02122.jpg keys - 4Runner Audio Build - Make it stand out On the left is the new seat cover with the one on the right being the original cover. The contrast between the two really highlights how much ass sweat and ArmorAll has built up over the years on the original cover… I ordered the new seat cover from AliExpress. The feel of the material was hard to compare due to the age difference between the two, but the colour is slightly off. Overall it’s a pretty good quality seat cover replacement. The fit isn’t perfect, but I would say it’s about a 90% fit. I did find it to be slightly larger over the factory cover. There is some extra material along the bottom edge, so the edge doesn’t quite match up, but this wasn’t an issue once installed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/ce7c3b6c-141b-42d5-b904-e0c7c557cb80/DSC01272.jpg keys - 4Runner Audio Build - Make it stand out Added some heatshrink afterwards and it’s done. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/b1af8262-9282-49eb-a652-b6c5e4ce53c2/DSC01271.jpg keys - 4Runner Audio Build - Make it stand out To terminate the ends going to the battery and chassis ground, I used this crimp tool that I got off Amazon.

The female side I actually cut out of the JBL amp, I tinned each pin here as preparation so that I could solder my speaker wires directly onto the pins to make a connector. It would have been better to cut the connector off completely and solder the wires together directly, but this just felt like a cleaner solution. Unnecessary work and probably not the best connection either, but I can remove it when I need to (I’ve never needed to). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/020a8206-5f4c-4392-9c88-9d842aa2d918/DSC02128.jpg keys - 4Runner Audio Build - Make it stand out Installed and I can barely notice that it’s a replacement cover. Some of the foam from the seat base was missing so this side of the leg bolster is a bit lower, but it’ll do just fine… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/c48e3ce8-193e-4beb-a6f9-eb9b5e02fb1f/DSC01243.jpg keys - 4Runner Audio Build - Make it stand out Since this is my daily driver, it was important to me that I made modifications that would improve the commute. By making the sound system more enjoyable, I also modernize this 20 year old vehicle with an addition of a Pioneer 1700NEX. Nothing does that better then adding Android Auto/Apple CarPlay. That being said, this was intended to be a “budget” audio build. I am also a true believer that adding an amplifier to a sound system will drastically improve the sound quality regardless of whatever speakers you end up choosing. I’ve installed many sound systems before - both with high end components and low-end components. Unless you’re a true audiophile, it’s quite difficult to hear the difference between an inexpensive speaker and an expensive speaker once amplified and tuned. Of course, you’re going to be able to have better performance out of high-end parts, but that only really means how hard you can drive a speaker continuously, i.e. how loud those speakers can play before sound distortion. Maybe I’m inexperienced, but this is only my two cents. Anyhow, here are the parts I used for this audio build; - Pioneer DMH-1700NEX (have since upgraded to a DMH-2700NEX). - Hertz HCP 5D 1500W 5 channel amp. - Hertz 8” ES200 subwoofer. - a set of Hertz 6.5” DSK 160 component (have since updated to Hertz Mille MP 165 Pro). - 3x Hertz C26 tweeters. Two of which went into the D pillars and one into the centre dashboard. I opted for 6.5” in the front rather than the factory 6×9 size only due to costs. The alternative option would have been the Hertz CPK 690 6×9. They would have sounded better as it has better acoustic specs, but a moot point as I have upgraded to Hertz’s Mille speakers since. Hertz is what we carry at one of the shops I work at, hence why I went with a full Hertz set up - wholesale pricing couldn’t be beat. If money wasn’t a large deciding factor here, I would have loved to go full JL Audio. Not that Hertz is inferior in any regard, but my first subwoofer was a 10” JL W3v3 which just sounded so good and that turned me instantly into a fan of the brand. The W3 actually travelled with me through a few cars that I’ve owned in the past, but eventually I let it go with one of the cars I ended up selling with it installed. A small part of me regrets that - but it’s still something that can be purchased new. The JL Audio stuff just has such a musical sound profile out of the box. Not heavily tuned on the low end so it really could fill out the entire low to mid range and blended nicely with any component speakers to round out the full audio range. I find a lot of subs in the same power range to be very bass heavy. You get a lot of that low-end bass that you can feel, but I prefer a sub that can blend into the mids a bit more. However, with an audio set-up the system can just be tuned together through the amplifier and head unit to achieve a desired sound profile. We could further refine this with a DSP or digital sound processor, but I don’t think my ears or system are good enough to really make a big enough difference to warrant that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/6c28e2f5-9f1c-4d5d-bc1a-fb8e937e12e4/DSC01275.jpg keys - 4Runner Audio Build - Make it stand out All wired up and ready to bump tunes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/9e81eafc-c4dd-4e5a-aa19-2d4ac55cd045/DSC01251.jpg keys - 4Runner Audio Build - Make it stand out I also took the time to add a backup camera. Joe actually ended up choosing this spot on the spoiler for me. I originally wanted to place it above the license plate by the hatch release, but this ended up being quite sleek and incognito. Happy with how this turned out too. The viewing angle is a bit higher up, which actually turns out to be quite useful when I have bikes on a hitch mounted rack. I didn’t end up taking any photos of the interior put back together as that isn’t anything too special. A good installation should look like it could be all OEM, as if you were never in there - I think, anyways. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/c0f95431-9cc0-4597-b099-0a525bdf59d4/DSC01267.jpg keys - 4Runner Audio Build - Make it stand out I also got this wire ferrule kit so that I could neatly terminate the speaker wire ends going into the amp. I love this tool. It makes nice squared ends and is so easy to use. A perfect solution. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/8a5535cd-d45b-4cdf-94b0-d34181368886/DSC02123.jpg keys - 4Runner Audio Build - Make it stand out Another comparison side by side.

Very common for a vehicle with high usage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/67ef23be-8a84-4460-af9a-ea2f732134b1/DSC01281.jpg keys - 4Runner Audio Build - Make it stand out Not claiming this to be the cleanest install by any means, but I kept it simple and tidy as best I could. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/8b6f966f-5dfa-4568-83d5-a0eff9e7c904/DSC01264.jpg keys - 4Runner Audio Build - Make it stand out Both ends terminated and installed in the breaker. Here you can see the breaker flipped while I finish running all of the wiring. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/3a8f344a-6f2d-488a-8b82-7e876ef46143/DSC01245.jpg keys - 4Runner Audio Build - Make it stand out One thing I found more recently were these fuse breakers, which I thought was super cool versus the traditional inline ANL/AGU fuse holders you typically see come with an amp wiring kit. You can simply flip the breaker back on, rather than needing to change out the fuse (which can be difficult to find if you don’t have a spare) if the system ever gets overloaded. I mounted this onto the engine fuse box cover. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/a0046d81-bfba-4543-94da-c9553a21760b/DSC01265.jpg keys - 4Runner Audio Build - Make it stand out I placed the amp on the floor underneath the passenger side seat. This is so I can still have relatively easy access to it for whenever I need/want to make any tuning changes. I placed a sheet of MDF under the carpet so that I could have a base to fasten the amp down. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/4250cf16-4445-41ff-b410-3651dd2d3a5d/DSC02121.jpg keys - 4Runner Audio Build - Make it stand out Removing the old bottom seat cover off. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/cfb80043-a98d-44eb-a239-f122d53c12d3/DSC01268.jpg keys - 4Runner Audio Build - Make it stand out Speaker wire ends terminated.

A few hog rings held the heating pad onto the cover. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/9c2da41b-e3d5-443c-abc2-f133cdf32a3a/DSC01256.jpg keys - 4Runner Audio Build - Make it stand out The factory tweeter bracket was also utilized in order to keep the aftermarket tweeter in the same location. This was the front doors, but the rear doors only came factory with coaxial speakers meaning a factory tweeter mount/location was non-existent. I cut out a hole on the rear doors for tweeter. I didn’t get a photo of that though. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/bb03983e-6b8a-4252-8c79-e95af5d8ee98/DSC01282.jpg keys - 4Runner Audio Build - Make it stand out I ran the speaker wires from the Hertz amplifier back here. The factory JBL amplifier also sits back here so I knew the wires connected to the speakers would be here. I decided to make my connections here rather than running new speaker wire. This sound system is not outputting enough power to really warrant the work to run all new or higher gauge speaker wire. This will suffice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/0118db85-cf19-41bf-824e-ce9b8161f118/DSC01253.jpg keys - 4Runner Audio Build - Make it stand out Front door with the factory JBL 6×9 components. Even sold as a “premium” sound upgrade, the factory JBL speaker cones are still made out of paper. Not surprising, though. The Hertz 6.5” mounted using a custom mounting bracket that was cut out of MDF and dynamat applied on top. Also retained the factory speaker connector. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/db8ddea6-2015-42c9-a8ed-dbdd368c00da/DSC01260.jpg keys - 4Runner Audio Build - Make it stand out Fuse holders/breakers are designed to accept bare wire without requiring any connector on them. If you’ve ever done this, you know how difficult it is to get all of the stranded wire neatly tucked into that hole without at least a few strands poking out the sides. I found a nice and clean solution to this by using a wire ferrule. This is a thin piece of tinned copper that simply slips over the exposed strand wire and then just gets clamped down by the fuse holder/amp. I used a bit of red heat shrink to; keep the wire ferrule in place, provide coverage between the wire and insulation jacket and also to quickly ID that it’s a live end. https://www.keysautoclub.com/blog/rmm-member-track-day monthly 0.5 2024-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/844416aa-b385-486b-9290-032b5426b9f0/DSC02022-Edit.png keys - RMM Member Track Day - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/792fcb9d-e5e6-4292-9e56-0a798b67ccad/DSC02943-Edit.png keys - RMM Member Track Day - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/4b1a3068-3e1d-43e3-8b4e-f668489a84b1/DSC02477-Edit.png keys - RMM Member Track Day - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/e293c217-f302-40fc-afd9-ca45ff20127e/DSC01930-Edit.png keys - RMM Member Track Day - Make it stand out Attacking turn 14. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/1052b150-77af-4ee4-842e-68c97614e71b/DSC02097-Edit.png keys - RMM Member Track Day - Make it stand out I loved how this photo turned out as I feel the high motion blur really captures the essence of speed, however, was also able to capture the rear end of the Supra in focus. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/56c4db8a-2c72-4ac3-a620-b7f7f8d76c33/DSC02303-Edit.png keys - RMM Member Track Day - Make it stand out With bikes being smaller, it was harder to keep the camera focused on them while panning with the camera. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/900352f1-df82-47e2-ae84-b41b71158e88/DSC02739-Edit.png keys - RMM Member Track Day - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/dcda9dca-3255-4902-991c-97d4735e2c07/DSC03229-Edit.png keys - RMM Member Track Day - Make it stand out You could hear this coming from a few turns away. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/e5130461-9d13-4f6a-8282-7a8cedecd47a/DSC02983-Edit.png keys - RMM Member Track Day - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/5fda7597-0657-43bb-b013-dd2f9bf430bf/DSC02470-Edit.png keys - RMM Member Track Day - Make it stand out A Rush SR also raced around with the SR3 and DN5 during the open wheel sessions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/d79f4213-1bd2-4167-a2bd-519fc56c30ad/DSC03416-Edit.png keys - RMM Member Track Day - Make it stand out Viv tossing up the deuces as Ryan attacks the corner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/82f9d418-8624-4e59-b16a-50f03c3c874c/DSC02754-Edit.png keys - RMM Member Track Day - Make it stand out This was a great opportunity and really got me excited to get behind the camera at more racing and motorsport events (thank you again, Tom).

Carlo and his team have been working tirelessly throughout the entire year to make these shows happen. While they have been in Edmonton for a few years already, this is only their second show in Calgary, and will also be their second in Vancouver this August. These guys have done a fantastic job in planning and organizing a successful car show for our community. Many others have tried to step up and fulfill that “premium” car show space that had been left vacant with illmotion’s departure from the scene, but Rev Up, in my opinion has been the one of the few that have been able to produce a show that brings out the same quality of cars we once saw with illmotion’s Sunday School. It’s not an easy job to do - so I’m thankful that there are teams of people who are out there trying to push our car scene further and bring together our community. This sentiment extends past just the Rev Up team - so if you are an organizer for any of our local shows - thank you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/1d6b7eda-949e-4b5a-aaf6-da33a8edbc8d/DSC08070.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2024 - Calgary - Make it stand out HKS everything. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/c603fbd5-3a1b-41b7-98a2-09f7ebc3f86e/DSC08579.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2024 - Calgary - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/f523fc77-e781-4485-a217-dd0b1f41d170/DSC08139.jpg keys - Rev Up Autoshow 2024 - Calgary - Make it stand out VEX Performance’s RX-7 with a very rare Mazdaspeed A-Spec body kit.

Since roll-out was divided into sections I ended up hanging back as my section was one of the last to leave and I’m pretty glad it was. As cars started leaving, I saw an opportunity to get some more photos, however, this time it was much more exciting to capture. If you follow the blog on Instagram, I mentioned how taking photos of cars at a show can get boring pretty quickly. You typically can only get the same angle of every car and all your pictures end up looking the exact same. It just feels uninspiring and you have to work harder to find the good shot, but sometimes that doesn’t even work out. Now during roll out, since there is some movement introduced, the composition of each photo has changed a bit.

This was also my second time ever holding a welding gun. The first time was welding the JDM front end on my Integra, but those were only tacks. Welding was by far the most challenging part of this project, but also the most fun and rewarding. I am no means a welder by any stretch and do not claim to be one. Do not rate my welds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/8bd5675e-94ea-400e-9bac-6d60247a4073/C0167.gif keys - D.I.Y high clearance bumper… - Make it stand out I think welding looks so cool on camera.

I started recording with my camera with zero direction of what the video would end out to be. I had the intentions of making a full length video but never got around to it. I decided to instead repurposed the videos and made some GIFs from them to be used in this blog post. I hope you enjoy and that the GIFs contribute to an interesting reading experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/4ee565e6-9ecd-41c2-a038-a40b31abd833/Sequence+01.gif keys - D.I.Y high clearance bumper… - Make it stand out Maybe hard to tell here in GIF quality, but the front bumper had been poorly repainted so there were large bits of paint flaking off along with cracks in the cover around the driver side headlight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/2a874a8e-ccb8-4406-aa97-7439763821a6/C0191.gif keys - D.I.Y high clearance bumper… - Make it stand out I came back the next morning with less hair and got ready to get the bumper painted. This was my ingenious approach to painting the bumper. Complete it weighs probably around 80 lbs, so it’s not exactly easy to maneuver, but with it strapped to the hoist I could paint it all in one go. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/dcaaa5da-ea20-4f20-838b-fea60c2464de/C0193.gif keys - D.I.Y high clearance bumper… - Make it stand out I prepped it with wax and grease remover before laying down self-etching primer. I chose to use rubberized undercoat in black to finish the bumper in. The downside to having it strapped the way I did was that I was painting it upside down. Typically you would want to paint a part in the same orientation as it would be when installed on the car as this would give the best looking finish. Since I’m using undercoat instead of paint, this was not a huge concern as it dries flat in appearance. A battle I was having here instead was that the rubberized undercoat sprays out heavy and can easily run because of that. You could aim further back to help reduce the running, but the texture would not be as nice. Aim to closely and you get good texture but you need to move very quickly move or else you’re bound to get runs. There is a fine balance of painting skill and patience to achieving the most desirable finish with an even texture and coverage without runs. I did not find balance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/c6e70245-8aa2-4493-b164-2fc48997c03b/C0201.gif keys - D.I.Y high clearance bumper… - Make it stand out The OEM signal light sits in the front bumper, so I needed replacement signals.

This turned out to be a fun project and while there were many things that did not go as planned, I am still pleased with the end result. I’m sure a question many people (including myself) would ask is, “was it worth it?” First off, I didn’t exactly save much money in getting the material cut locally versus purchasing a DIY weld kit from a company - really only saved on shipping costs. Given the time spent to prototype and design, I would say I lost here due to the amount in labour hours. The positives here are that I can say that I’ve done this from scratch which gives me the confidence to take on more types of projects like this. I’m already thinking of designing another bumper - this time being a hybrid bumper with tubes. CAD is something I’ve been having a lot of fun with lately and this was one of the gateways to that. It’s a very simple design overall and while I can’t exactly say that this design is unique or original in any way - knowing that I was able to envision something in my head, plan out the process, do the assembly and then to come out the end with the physical thing is pretty awesome. Modding something like this truck is great cause I don’t exactly care for it to look or be perfect - unlike my car. It allows for greater freedom when designing something that doesn’t need to be absolutely aesthetically pleasing, just mainly functional. I think that’s also just due to the vibe and style of these trucks. Majority of the people who own these are modding them to be practical, rather than for show, but that in a way adds to the overall look and becomes an aesthetic… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/c1d146f8-c110-4394-8aec-ee877539f4b8/C0199.gif keys - D.I.Y high clearance bumper… - Make it stand out Mounting the bumper is easiest when using proper deadlift and pelvic thrust technique. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/ed3bba44-5f4e-4ebc-8c0e-36cb7dcc5b52/C0159.gif keys - D.I.Y high clearance bumper… - Make it stand out Secondly, we remove the front bumper, of course. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/a1fa13b5-030a-42b9-8cd6-b1b2a4d88cfc/C0182.gif keys - D.I.Y high clearance bumper… - Make it stand out Another over sight was the angle of the front fender and that I did not properly account for this with the steel bumper. You can see here that the fender has a slight angle upwards towards the wheel well and causes a sizeable gap between. I did realize this during the foamboard phase, but it was not as exaggerated since there is flex in foamboard while there is not much in steel. Since all of the pieces were already cut, there wasn’t much I could do at this point. I pushed the wing up as much as I could but there was only so much I could make up as to not create too much of a gap with the adjacent pieces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/657b1b0f-657d-4a19-94b2-c25788d474fb/C0162.gif keys - D.I.Y high clearance bumper… - Make it stand out Removing the front crash support beam.

Here I am enlarging a slot where I had the tolerance set in my CAD drawing to be absolutely perfect, but that doesn’t exactly reflect real life. I didn’t need to take off much, but this taught me to mind tolerances a bit more closely when I’m designing with CAD. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/5b2d71e5-2a0d-4bb8-bb00-689d4c7c7864/Sequence+03.gif keys - D.I.Y high clearance bumper… - Make it stand out Main structure of the bumper taking shape after a few tacks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/09d89d8f-caaf-4acf-9378-589a34e4140d/C0186.gif keys - D.I.Y high clearance bumper… - Make it stand out Shielding gas is a must when welding. It will control the splatter around the welding area. There’s probably more to it but I’m not a welder so I don’t know all of the details to it. I wouldn’t have even wanted to see my welds without it. At this point, I think it was getting late so I was just trying to get all of the welding done. I didn’t record much past this point as the process was pretty much the same here on out. One part I missed out on recording was the grinding process. Once I had the entire bumper welded up, I used a flap disc to clean up the welds and to round off the edges to give it a better finished look. This part also revealed any pinholes or burn through that I went back to fill and grind down smooth again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/799364a8-1ae0-4168-82f3-2fadeef03139/C0173.gif keys - D.I.Y high clearance bumper… - Make it stand out Shoutout to The Cut Shop in Calgary.

If you’re familiar with Toyota truck modifications then I’m sure you can already see which design I loosely based mine off of. In being able to design my own bumper, I was able to customize it to my liking as well as include the cutouts for some Baja Design S2 flush mount lights which I wanted fitted into the bumper. The other cutout in the middle is for if I ever decide to run a mounted hitch in the bumper, so holes for a fairlead were included. Other holes were simply design choices I made. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/b02ba5f4-a4c7-48ea-9597-a9fac1a5bedc/C0164.gif keys - D.I.Y high clearance bumper… - Make it stand out I created each piece of the bumper in CAD software then had it sent off to a local waterjet cutting shop to get the steel cut in the desired shapes.

Instantly, the main differences that I see right away is the Bride mount offers more mounting options which results in a physically taller piece. This caused an issue with the Recaro and does again with the Spoon seat, which I explain further down below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/93f44774-1548-43cc-8c0e-259bafc5941b/20231104_161555.jpg keys - One of the best driver mods you can do… - Make it stand out I went to install the Spoon buckets using the Bride side mounts that I already had, but those did not work out the way I wanted them too. From this angle you can see that the Bride side mount will make contact with the side of the seat, and that is just due to the shape of the Spoon bucket. I ended up needing to stack a ton of washers to prevent the upper section of the mount from making contact with the seat when adjusted at the position I wanted. Running this amount of spacers was something I did not want to do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/7e4c25de-d52a-471a-bb3e-e579bcdddf0f/DSC02712.JPG keys - One of the best driver mods you can do… - Make it stand out After removing the factory seats from the car, I got to bolting up a set of Bride side mounts to the Recaro. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/2bab465a-d1f9-4f17-a00b-701b02ccc7a5/DSC05901.jpg keys - One of the best driver mods you can do… - Make it stand out Which ended up fitting so well… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/99eaeac9-560f-4d5d-91a4-7263b7322414/DSC05912.jpg keys - One of the best driver mods you can do… - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/5b28694f-bff7-4f71-a2ca-a489b749d242/DSC02719.JPG keys - One of the best driver mods you can do… - Make it stand out Factory and Recaro RS-G side by side comparison. The Recaro does physically sit taller than the factory seat. I had the Recaro mounted as low as I could on the side mount before I started running into clearance issues caused by the lap belt harness hole on the Recaro. You can kind-of tell in this photo the issue I was running into that prohibited me from going lower. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/5c1235c3-4184-4a45-a76b-0a0c7a2c14a8/DSC02722.JPG keys - One of the best driver mods you can do… - Make it stand out Looking quite big in the car. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/f7ffde44-df3a-43be-bb1f-fbf60d7a4206/DSC02705.JPG keys - One of the best driver mods you can do… - Make it stand out Heated and with SRS.

This assembly came out to 31.27 lbs, so a total of 22.38 lbs in savings per seat (factoring in the seat buckle). That comes out to a total of 44.76 lbs saved between the two front seats. Substantial in terms of weight savings. Will I notice? - most likely not, but still a notable mention. One thing that is noticeable is that it now requires more force to slide the seat forward/back now with less weight assisting that push/pull. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/ad366258-5471-4349-8d8b-4abd42aec896/DSC05776.JPG keys - One of the best driver mods you can do… - Make it stand out Since I had a set of the Spoon side stays, I decided to give these a try. If they did work, my next consideration was to purchase a set, or if you know me, try to make my own. The side stay is designed to flow with the curvature of the seat. It might be tough to see in this photo, but the top edge of the side stay follows the contours of the seat shape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/c2e9790f-79b9-468c-bbc4-a9d460cc2422/20240116_104604.jpg keys - One of the best driver mods you can do… - Make it stand out This Recaro side mount is also a steel construction, weighing a bit less than the Bride. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/86c2dd78-7fa2-43cf-92da-fb5f0ec69d12/20231117_172110.jpg keys - One of the best driver mods you can do… - Make it stand out Weighting in at only 0.72 lbs, this makes the aluminum Spoon side stay a weight savings of 75% over the steel Bride side mount. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/e50ee34e-6763-46ed-8a32-b31519f87c6e/DSC02714.jpg keys - One of the best driver mods you can do… - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/01546ff3-7adc-4d02-a194-7e2451cabeaf/DSC02720.JPG keys - One of the best driver mods you can do… - Make it stand out Even though the Recaro is taller in height, the seating position is much lower, seen here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/a6e9036f-faa1-4f9f-b5d1-8673646b5310/DSC02702.JPG keys - One of the best driver mods you can do… - Make it stand out The factory leather CSX-S seats looking like an office chair and not even comfortable. They offered little bolstering to actually keep you in the seat. Leather is also quite slippery - so not exactly sporty. I’ve always felt as if the CSX was just a parts bin car, so probably why these seats exist. Another irk of mine is the interior dashboard lighting that illuminates in 3 different colours. The climate controls are white but the LED display for climate and cluster are red. The VSA button lights up blue. What? That will be something I address some time in the future… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/7889a116-38fb-460e-ab42-4295068de6e9/20240116_102836.jpg keys - One of the best driver mods you can do… - Make it stand out Here is the Spoon with Bride rail and slider weighing 26.89 lbs.

The mounting holes are too narrow for the Bride RO slider - even with the provided Spoon seat spacers. I would have needed to run additional spacers and a longer bolt, which would not be ideal. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/7f6dbcc2-7e3c-42b9-9341-aab2a01c33fe/DSC05914.jpg keys - One of the best driver mods you can do… - Make it stand out and also looked so good… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/4d93df98-9d61-4759-83c2-c1694ab8669c/Capture.PNG keys - One of the best driver mods you can do… - Make it stand out So I decided to design my own. I wanted to replicate the Spoon side stay cause it’s just a winning design and of course it was, it was designed for the Spoon seat. I went through many iterations but ended up landing on this as the final design. I copied the homework, but made my own changes in areas that I thought could use improvement. Some of the notable changes I wanted to make on my version included; Changed the overall thickness of the material to be inline with FIA Homologation. Since I was also planning to make these out of aluminum, I wanted to meet the FIA standards. The Spoon side stay measures to be only 3mm thick, but in order to meet FIA standards, aluminum side mounts need to be a minimum 5mm thickness, with Steel only required to be 3mm. Maybe a minor detail as the Spoon seat is not FIA rated either, so maybe a minor point. I adjusted the mounting holes to allow for the absolute lowest seating position possible before causing interference with the seat base or the factory amplifier that still sits under the driver seat. I was able to lower the lowest mounting point by 12mm over the Spoon side stays. The mounting holes that would attach the side mount to the slider were repositioned to fit the width of the Bride slider for a direct bolt in with the use of a thinner washer against the spoon seat. Of course had to put the keys logo on it. I was pretty much set to get this off to production and then we received a shipment from Recaro Japan that included their newly designed side mounts… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/089f14ae-f0fd-405d-bb6c-915adbeceb75/DSC02716.jpg keys - One of the best driver mods you can do… - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/8ad3bb8d-2937-4198-9003-f8b8af69e3e7/DSC05905.jpg keys - One of the best driver mods you can do… - Make it stand out … but they did not last long. https://www.keysautoclub.com/blog/eventuri-x-baja-designs monthly 0.5 2024-03-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/8d382b52-ba21-4d72-919d-b70b73cdd0fb/DSC03358.JPG keys - Eventuri x Baja Designs - Make it stand out Quick snapshot of Tom’s track A90 Supra. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/b656b0d2-3c56-408f-8321-6b87af238c4b/DSC03531.JPG keys - Eventuri x Baja Designs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/e2694588-6ac0-4732-abbd-9f1cd5653f43/DSC03519.JPG keys - Eventuri x Baja Designs - Make it stand out Next step is to now mount the lights onto the Eventuri duct… The most nerve-wracking part as you really only get one shot to do this right, but if done right, is also the most rewarding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/3f13d0ad-e38b-471a-8325-b0edc0eef1ec/DSC03538.JPG keys - Eventuri x Baja Designs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/5825cb7b-c257-49bb-af0d-d7dca0ef2adb/DSC03518.JPG keys - Eventuri x Baja Designs - Make it stand out Once I was able to confirm that everything was working, I cleaned up the harness and zip tied the loose sections down. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/438b4b3e-f5e5-4757-a465-e60b13b49d97/DSC03529.JPG keys - Eventuri x Baja Designs - Make it stand out Pretty good. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/39c78b67-0c62-43f9-ac54-0571479687b2/DSC03364.JPG keys - Eventuri x Baja Designs - Make it stand out I took a moment to admire the interior of this Supra… Fitted with a pair of Recaro Pro Racer RMS bucket seats… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/22888827-0c51-4ce9-9865-36bad1de5754/DSC03516.JPG keys - Eventuri x Baja Designs - Make it stand out Quick test to make sure they are operating correctly before everything starts going back together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/99b270a9-6d66-4624-8851-e2a78a4f3697/DSC03527.JPG keys - Eventuri x Baja Designs - Make it stand out First light in.

I should have known prior to the install, but it didn’t cross my mind at the time... If you take a close look, there are only 4 pins on the headlamp connector, 2 being constant power and ground, and the other 2 being canbus. This causes an issue for wiring up the aftermarket components as there is no signal wire available here to use as a source or trigger for the lowbeams or the turn signal indicator we wanted to wire in. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/86a31e00-a17a-463f-9455-b39c7247a62c/DSC03512.JPG keys - Eventuri x Baja Designs - Make it stand out Terminated the ends with the supplied terminals from Baja Designs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/29f742e1-9a54-4637-9f07-4daa91657c41/DSC03534.JPG keys - Eventuri x Baja Designs - Make it stand out I made some minor adjustments so that the two were angled the same way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/248e3a27-c6ea-482f-a14b-4b37570f09eb/DSC03552.JPG keys - Eventuri x Baja Designs - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/912a18ff-2f05-4a11-a8d8-ce223f6e47fd/DSC03359.JPG keys - Eventuri x Baja Designs - Make it stand out Here is the Eventuri piece installed. It’s literally just a large hole with a split. Interesting bit about this duct is that the smaller section closest to the nose of the bumper is the functional duct that directs airflow to the air intake, which sits directly behind this opening. The larger section of the duct is a direct pass through to the engine bay, but it does not directly feed air to the intake. This is a benefit to us as mounting the lights in the larger section will not restrict any airflow to the intake and the smaller duct remains functional. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/1b6b7399-4979-4e09-8e86-e107deadcf35/DSC03535.JPG keys - Eventuri x Baja Designs - Make it stand out Now with the duct and S1s installed back onto the Supra. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/9c58b29a-fe88-4379-89e6-c0692e0dfdeb/DSC03522.JPG keys - Eventuri x Baja Designs - Make it stand out I measured this multiple times using both a measuring tape and vernier caliper to absolutely make sure I get the spacing and alignment correct… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/e15fa065-92cc-4ea0-9064-5c54414baab6/DSC03549.JPG keys - Eventuri x Baja Designs - Make it stand out Once I was satisfied with the position of the lights, I flipped the face place around so that the logos were facing the right way up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/4c0ab0d4-0af1-43d5-9a40-1d364c48bfb4/DSC03510.JPG keys - Eventuri x Baja Designs - Make it stand out With the trigger wire ran from the rear to the headlamp, I began to do some of the wiring.

We did chat about the possibilities about running an aftermarket light strip but I couldn’t figure out a way to do it nicely without getting to crazy with it… After all, the purpose of this modification was to make the duct look less obvious on the street, rather than trying to recreate the headlight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/6f9e7069-e0ff-4a4e-9573-a3d169bf67da/DSC03507.JPG keys - Eventuri x Baja Designs - Make it stand out This caused me to have to do some digging. It was a huge that Tom had already stripped out the rear interior as it allowed me to fully access the rear fuse box as well as the rear section of the interior wiring harness. After some time I was able to find a source that would allow us to operate the Baja LEDs as lowbeams still controlled by the lighting switch. The wire I tapped into was the output to the rear tail lamps parking lamp signal which also turns on and off with the headlamp LEDs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/bc3c4bca-c382-41b5-b5e6-3ee117a53dca/DSC03520.JPG keys - Eventuri x Baja Designs - Make it stand out I wanted the LEDs to be inset all the same from the inner lip of the duct which is easy to measure when looking from the inside up, however I wouldn’t have been able to fit a drill from that angle, so translating that from the inside edge to the top was a bit challenging. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/b66a2648-d0b7-4015-893c-5365e5e64973/DSC03539.JPG keys - Eventuri x Baja Designs - Make it stand out Pretty pleased with how this mod turned out. Once the third S1 gets installed, I think it will really complete the look as it will fill up the rest of the duct.

JDM thin side mouldings also round off the exterior very nicely. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/2e2886bc-f371-42fb-89df-5bfa9ddaa16b/DSC05383.JPG keys - WEKFEST Los Angeles: P.2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/74f1d317-ff39-420d-b9f0-65ebe32a4153/DSC05276.JPG keys - WEKFEST Los Angeles: P.2 - Make it stand out Clean and simple GR86 wearing ADRO side skirts and rear swan neck wing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/15b41a24-9c44-40a0-a531-089df597fa78/DSC05401.JPG keys - WEKFEST Los Angeles: P.2 - Make it stand out Something you don’t see often anymore - a Suzuki Tracker 2 door convertible equipped with hydraulics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/1518f609-e106-4a69-aa30-0d75c4ed86ab/DSC05258.JPG keys - WEKFEST Los Angeles: P.2 - Make it stand out Evo X with Ings+1 bumper and skirt sides.

There was a great variety of cars, all executed quite well making it overwhelming to try and catch all of the details. Since we were only in LA for a short period of time, there were a few other things we wanted to check out before heading home so I didn’t get to spend as much time there as I would have liked, but it still was a good amount of time to get a great overview of the entire show. There are definitely apparent trends and themes in the car culture in California, especially in the car-show crowd. The quantity of quality builds is also staggering in comparison to what we’re seeing at home. While it’s not too far off, our US neighbours definitely go much “harder”. If you’ve made it this far, thanks for tuning in. Until next time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/b2faf0f1-1542-4f1a-ab89-94e2fe6a60e1/DSC05248.JPG keys - WEKFEST Los Angeles: P.2 - Make it stand out Very nice blue leather and a dark plaid upholstery that can be found all around the entire vehicle. Pictured here in the frunk is what I’m assuming is the gas tank and also a radiator both wrapped in the leather and plaid to make it look like luggage pieces. I also like how the owner of this vehicle incorporated leather buckles and straps underneath the frunk as well to match the hood buckles. Great details all throughout. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/22def95c-49a5-4f9f-8fa3-4e1d1252d4fe/DSC05752.JPG keys - WEKFEST Los Angeles: P.2 - Make it stand out Turbocharged K swapped as well… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/926aef86-caef-457c-9f1d-52bb05d5a983/DSC05320.JPG keys - WEKFEST Los Angeles: P.2 - Make it stand out I thought this A90 Supra had a great looking side profile.

There are some interesting bits on this car that I’ve never seen before, so I’m not sure if they are possibly a factory JDM issue items or aftermarket pieces. A clear bug deflector on the hood, front bumper extension trim and chrome foglight grille all look like they could have been OEM but just not sure.

This was and is still a big deal to have as an EG Civic owner. This was a classic case of Japan keeping all of the cool shit to themselves while the North American models got jipped. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/86567f45-032a-4fcf-aa77-a58d8799544e/DSC05067.JPG keys - WEKFEST Los Angeles: P.1 - Make it stand out Clean E92 M3 on BBS RIA. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/e28f3987-a611-4cc2-a493-c517a489d209/DSC05174.JPG keys - WEKFEST Los Angeles: P.1 - Make it stand out Interior was also done up VIP style and even had a katana stored behind the seats… If you look closely, the interior trim on the center console lids feature custom artwork as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/90077669-59b4-4cd5-8419-871906831b8a/DSC05182.JPG keys - WEKFEST Los Angeles: P.1 - Make it stand out FK8 Civic with the Varis kit and Racebred Component front splitter.

Vivi and I chatted with the owner of this vehicle who shared some of the history behind their build which has seen a handful of upgrades to bring it to this current state. There was also a ton of custom work including metal fenders and even a rollcage inside to make it safer for today’s roads. Great little car with tons of neat details. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/48904944-d65a-45dc-b42e-b48437f16d4d/DSC05083.JPG keys - WEKFEST Los Angeles: P.1 - Make it stand out Robot Craftsman widebody Tesla Model 3 with the Autofashion booth on Work Meisters S1s.

There is a ton of diversity in terms of modification styles - some being wild and out of the box, while others that prefer the simple and classic styling. Regardless of individual tastes, you can see the pride and care put into these cars. The personalities and characteristics of owners are always reflected through their builds and that is what I find most interesting at car shows. Cars can sometimes really tell you a lot about the owner. Check out part two as I capture the other side of the event area.

There obviously has been a ton of body work done required in order to get the mash-up of parts to fit and line up. This is definitely a statement piece, and while it may not be to everyone’s taste, the amount of dedication, skill, and know-how to complete something like this and make it look like a complete truck is something to marvel at… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/b6400ce6-b542-42fc-a3f4-3fc3192d95bf/DSC03276.JPG keys - REV’d Performance Dyno Day - Make it stand out These wheels look like a pain to take off and put on.

Pretty cool to see as this was the first 3UZ swapped FRS that I’ve ever seen, or heard of for that matter. It’s interesting to see all the different powerplants that people fit into these cars. From Toyota’s 2JZs, 3UZ, GM’s LSX, and even Honda K swaps, this platform definitely seems to be the Frankenstein’s of cars in that regard… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/f44abc23-c9e0-4532-a710-575282e93ba4/DSC03311.JPG keys - REV’d Performance Dyno Day - Make it stand out The interior design showing it’s vintage, however was kept in great shape. The switches on the center console look like light switches and the ones on the dashboard from a Casio calculator - I love it though. The styling is so unique and has great character. So rectangular. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/6df76c3e-48b1-48b1-b0cb-49fbe569aaec/DSC03167.JPG keys - REV’d Performance Dyno Day - Make it stand out I was fortunate enough to have a great team of volunteers help me out that day to set up and hang out.

I’m not sure if that’s factory or if the ITBs are an upgrade, but that must affect the air intake quite a bit. I would think that a reservoir relocation would be a better solution, but not sure if that’s a possibility. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/7a9091d5-e6ac-4514-9ae8-047852b38b12/DSC03297.JPG keys - REV’d Performance Dyno Day - Make it stand out This old truck just hanging out on-top of a Sea-Can… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/21ef8b59-4c83-4318-be3f-da9c19eeaa02/DSC03265.JPG keys - REV’d Performance Dyno Day - Make it stand out Clean Toyota Aristo. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/66d159db-e1f8-4bb8-8ad2-305febb62f5a/DSC03312.JPG keys - REV’d Performance Dyno Day - Make it stand out We ended up needing to leave a bit early due to prior commitments, otherwise I would have liked to stay a bit longer to hang out. The event was an enjoyable one being of a slightly slower pace at the booth due to majority of the attendees mainly crowded around the dyno. This made it easy for me to walk around, snap some pictures and chat with people. Aaron mentioned that the turn-out this year was much larger than the previous years - which was very exciting for him and his crew. He’s hoping for an even larger event for next year so if you missed out this time keep Rev’d Performance's event in mind for 2024! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/26a4a064-80ac-4e57-aa77-731d464a241a/DSC03227.JPG keys - REV’d Performance Dyno Day - Make it stand out Rocket Bunny S13.

This had a crowd around it as well being parked right next to the dyno booth made it difficult to find an opportunity to capture a good photo of it. I wish I got a better angle. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/45c44779-f0f0-4975-87a1-b6173ab1f10a/DSC03250.JPG keys - REV’d Performance Dyno Day - Make it stand out A rare spotting is this Mitsubishi 3000GT. I could probably count on one hand the number of 3000GTs that I’ve ever seen in my lifetime - The Dodge Stealth counterpart seemed to be more popular and I do remember seeing those around more often back then, but even those are now becoming a rare sighting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/412ddae2-846f-4ca2-9b81-fea3f9ba6dfc/DSC03274.JPG keys - REV’d Performance Dyno Day - Make it stand out The engine bay. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/2b426458-9d2d-4a90-a557-ead4f6721b6d/DSC03254.JPG keys - REV’d Performance Dyno Day - Make it stand out II was surprised to see how much tech was actually in this car given it’s age. Auto climate controls, steering wheel audio controls, full power leather seats - while it’s all standard features by today’s standards, for a 1997, this came quite loaded. On top of the technology found in the interior, these cars also came with all-wheel steering, adaptive suspension, and on some models, active aero on the rear spoiler. I did find the black dash a bit off and looking out of place as it meets the door cards, but the owner assured me that it’s all original. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/a51f2577-f0a6-46a3-9ad7-35509ec3cd9f/DSC03178.JPG keys - REV’d Performance Dyno Day - Make it stand out I’m sure many people with a project car could find this relatable.

Although this was not technically a 4 cylinder, this competed and won highest HP for the 4 cylinder category. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/204809f2-1ffa-423e-bebb-291141b6d50d/DSC03194.JPG keys - REV’d Performance Dyno Day - Make it stand out A shot of the interior.

The profile was to long to fit across before hitting the ends of the truck bed, so extension blocks had to be welded on to create enough height to get the spoiler on. I thought this made for a funny look, but as outrageous as this truck is, why not. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/0f98080f-310b-4004-8993-bb5a39462957/DSC03262.JPG keys - REV’d Performance Dyno Day - Make it stand out Nick’s K20 swapped DB8.

I later found out that this MR2 was lady driven which actually makes more sense.

Participants had registered to partake in a rev-off battle to see which car had the loudest 2-step. I personally didn’t have much interest myself, but it drew quite the crowd who all seemed to love it. Although it wasn’t for me, I appreciate the effort the crew went through to provide entertainment and offer something different. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/39333978-447c-40a6-a955-aaca48ddc8cf/DSC02889.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.2 - Make it stand out Lifted Kia Sorento with a spare and traction boards on the roof.

I can say, looking back at these photos that the quality of builds are continuing to get better and better. A large majority of the cars on display at this show really do showcase the dedication and work that owners are putting into their vehicles. I think we can all agree that modifying cars is an expensive hobby and is a luxury that not everyone can afford. Seeing what people are doing with what they have makes for unique cars that reflect the owners own personality and character and I think that is the best part. It will always be cool to see a fully equipped catalogue car, but it’s also equally cool to see what someone made in their garage with whatever was available to them. While it was a long day, it was an enjoyable one filled with great company, seeing old friends and meeting some new ones, and of course, cool cars. Like I’ve always believed, the cars come secondary to the friendships and connections that this community fosters. This event was a big win for the community and I know that the Kazoku and Tuner Decals crew will continue to only improve on an already winning formula. Look out for next year as I know the team has already started planning for 2024. Thanks to the organizers, sponsors, vendors, literally everyone in attendance for making this event a successful one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/c9c82252-44f0-4116-b578-2833bd6ee63f/DSC02866.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.2 - Make it stand out Widebody FRSs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/323ec642-fb9d-49b5-857f-95d590abc4b9/DSC02944.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.2 - Make it stand out Suzuki Alto Works also waiting in line… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/e15ee35e-ea2e-4c08-9248-69d4ddf74b7b/DSC02870.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.2 - Make it stand out FK8 on Advan GTs as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/f7016841-6074-4747-9db2-3f3aa61a2763/DSC02984.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/07d29498-8e0f-44ba-adba-68c43bf58b8a/DSC02884.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.2 - Make it stand out John’s 4Runner looking pretty sweet.

While the Evolution and STi heritage comes from rally racing, they’re not often modded that way anymore. I remember back in the early 2000s, you’d see every Subaru with rally armour, hella horns behind the front grille, and the pig sticker somewhere on the car. It’s really cool to see one today that is modified and (I believe) actually used for rally racing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/389c7f87-c1dc-4686-9dd1-e1afd81606dd/DSC02887.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.2 - Make it stand out Garage 111’s Rocket Bunny FRS on TE37Vs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/8605cf46-de50-44f8-b3df-83e22054219c/DSC02998.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.2 - Make it stand out The Pandem V3 kit is pretty crazy looking. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/fa41f372-e95e-4dc4-a9ec-47ff5a7c4d8a/DSC02846.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.2 - Make it stand out First Gear Project’s legit FD2 Type R with Mugen lip and Mugen grille. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/80acc401-9664-42a5-b78d-8693767c9acc/DSC02981.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.2 - Make it stand out Mugen rear lip and Voltex Type 1S wing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/efe606ff-3e96-41a8-a8ea-7f1e622b7a0b/DSC02849.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.2 - Make it stand out New FL5 Civic Type R on TE37SL. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/e686c23d-979d-4dc8-8bfe-f2ee48004082/DSC02939.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/458f9beb-ed09-4c23-aee9-8354abc89f29/DSC03041.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.2 - Make it stand out The Kazoku and Tuner Decals team booths set up.

I thought that it was quite impressive to see such a huge number of friends who all have the same car. The VA Society crew also had their cars perfectly aligned at the show - can be quite tough with such a large number. This Millennium Jade wrapped WRX looked great. If you know me, green is one of my favourite colours for a car. Not every car has the lines to pull of a green nicely - but this WRX did it well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/36973195-9d09-4a98-882f-42ecf0fa6582/DSC02841.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.1 - Make it stand out Scott’s FK8 on Advan GT. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/b1f77408-5cdd-4fe0-8600-00641aa825f3/DSC02816.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.1 - Make it stand out Chargespeed widebody Evo X on bronze Volk 21Cs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/82a27df2-94c3-4cdc-ba5c-90156fd42cae/DSC02773.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.1 - Make it stand out Jonathan’s FK8. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/d10d5167-8991-439e-ad75-447f1d931a6c/DSC02752.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.1 - Make it stand out Andrea’s Lunar Rock 4Runner TRD PRO on Gun Blue Gram Light 57DR-X.

Just when you think this car could not go any lower, Andrew says “wait-” and then somehow manages to make it even lower. Andrew won “Lexus of the Festival”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/cf315275-967f-481f-83cd-ee20b5d4c6be/DSC02783.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.1 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/6d755303-b567-4d53-966b-e285ccc3baf5/DSC02805.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.1 - Make it stand out Cholo’s Spoon themed FK8 - barely pictured are his Spoon SW388 wheels.

Oscar has 35s on limited edition Arms Grey 57DR-X. He recently acquired the Red Dog Fabrication front bumper and WA Fabrication rock sliders. He also will be going a bit taller soon in order to create additional clearance for the larger tires. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/57d9846e-e164-4752-a3d6-1e87f83d4ab3/DSC02844.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.1 - Make it stand out Tristan’s Varis Ultimate STi hatchback.

Eric’s S15 is one of my personal favourite cars here locally. My admiration for S15, like most others, started from playing the Initial D and Maximum Tune video games. On top of being 1JZ swapped, the stance on his car is just so good and I think he put together a perfect S15. He was awarded “Static Car of the Festival”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/06a869c8-e88e-41cd-b724-9b2df4ec51b9/DSC02779.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.1 - Make it stand out Alex’s perfect ITR.

Ed is the original owner having purchased this car brand new from the dealership. He definitely has kept it looking that way as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/72e27619-92ba-4b39-a4db-16e49f82fdd4/DSC02768.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.1 - Make it stand out Nick and I removed the tint off my car just the day before the show. None of the tint really matched anymore due to sun fade. No tint also looks so much cleaner, in my opinion. I do plan on eventually having Alex and Kanji to redo the tint in 80% to help with UV rejection while maintaining that “no-tint” look. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/ae274760-1a33-4079-9e8f-0e61bf772d21/DSC02776.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.1 - Make it stand out Issac’s FC RX7.

I am sure that nobody actually means to do any harm, but if it does not belong to you, please just look and don’t touch! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/ad667ce7-898f-4f2e-af42-326f6caecddd/DSC03054.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.1 - Make it stand out Wooster won “Best 90’s Honda of the Festival”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/4167a191-b515-40b4-902f-ce3becc514e8/DSC02778.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.1 - Make it stand out Danny’s 997. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/a4e875b6-0a98-44ba-b7bf-de9972a59a5f/DSC02736.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.1 - Make it stand out A teal vinyl wrapped STi also on Advans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/55140377-6bff-4923-9575-a917cdf3a4b3/DSC02843.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.1 - Make it stand out I’ve been seeing this S13 around more often now at the local car meets and I quite dig it… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/9c2e986b-d5a6-4871-a0fb-2397377c7654/DSC02740.JPG keys - Matsuri Festival of Cars: P.1 - Make it stand out The VA Society sandwiched by 10gen coupes.

These chargers also only make about a 60-65 HP increase, which is relatively mild - however it’s said that the factory transmission was the limiting factor of higher output… Regardless, it’s cool to see someone putting love into a less common platform. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/35e36e41-3daf-46bb-8945-bb7d98826677/DSC02606.JPG keys - OZH Meet: Aug 23 - Make it stand out Nelson’s RSX. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/d466cafa-b89c-4295-9621-2259ca419d7c/DSC02549.JPG keys - OZH Meet: Aug 23 - Make it stand out Xavier’s S-Class on Junction Produce Scara wheels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/43f8a408-0451-42de-9f83-970299d3e0a9/DSC02623.JPG keys - OZH Meet: Aug 23 - Make it stand out Bryant’s recently finished Varis Arising II Release Series 1.0 FR-S. I know he’s been waiting all summer to get the body kit painted and installed so it’s great to see him driving it lots and enjoying the fruits of his labour. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/66df7982-ca96-41c5-a050-6a1dfcdb7ecf/DSC02512.JPG keys - OZH Meet: Aug 23 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/dc793dd1-b94a-4bfb-97c3-15af77f740f8/DSC02607.JPG keys - OZH Meet: Aug 23 - Make it stand out Brandon’s RSX parked beside Jamie’s (not Brandon’s) RSX. I wish I got a shot of Jamie’s windshield banner, but it says “Not BLai”. It seems that many people have mistake Jamie for Brandon on the road… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/eca54017-0a65-4bab-9174-7536076b32e6/DSC02540.JPG keys - OZH Meet: Aug 23 - Make it stand out RHD MK5 Golf on some interesting wheels.

This is where the JDi Ghost Box comes in. It’s a Bluetooth receiver with a 4 channel output allowing for playback from up to 4 speakers. It also has an RCA output for a subwoofer if someone wanted. It essentially works as wireless Bluetooth headphones. Equalizer and volume is all controlled by the audio device. Pretty cool idea. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/e8f068ec-bc26-46c1-a4eb-b830156c7df9/DSC02431.JPG keys - Garmin Catalyst Install - Make it stand out The Catalyst is hardwired to work with ignition power. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/7e3e20f0-25ac-4998-a0e7-e37c9cff1185/DSC02445.JPG keys - Garmin Catalyst Install - Make it stand out One last look at the interior. I peeled off the A-Spec trim off the factory radio for Brandon to reapply on the new radio trim. I think that would be the final touch on this minor but new interior change up. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/87c0f020-474a-4521-becd-318670350427/DSC02415.JPG keys - Garmin Catalyst Install - Make it stand out Brandon’s RSX Type S. He recently got his headlights upgraded with projectors and JDM yellow day time running lights. Projector retrofits can sometimes look odd due to headlight design, but it looks pretty OE here in the 05-06 RSX headlight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/68d38e27-34f3-4207-8094-476edc155f7a/DSC02440.JPG keys - Garmin Catalyst Install - Make it stand out Quick ziptie job keeps the factory harnesses from flying around while driving. There aren’t any mounting holes on the case of the JDi Ghost Box so I wasn’t able to secure it down using fasteners. Instead JDi provides double sided tape. We’ll see how long that last… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/09a8a0d0-209b-4818-800a-9b8b858850dc/DSC02441.JPG keys - Garmin Catalyst Install - Make it stand out Another thing we got figured out was Brandon’s horn button which hadn’t been working for years after he installed the Momo steering wheel. Now it all works with his quick release. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/9b67cd57-cabd-42c2-9648-c145af26f010/DSC02426.JPG keys - Garmin Catalyst Install - Make it stand out Lining up the mount to ensure a flush fitment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/456f38cd-266d-4773-9b63-260375db66ce/DSC02437.JPG keys - Garmin Catalyst Install - Make it stand out Quick solder job. Just like wiring up an aftermarket radio. The Ghost Box is quite simple to install. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/dbb85bab-f6d4-4b9d-800f-122757acaa3d/DSC02419.JPG keys - Garmin Catalyst Install - Make it stand out The Garmin Catalyst. Brandon used to have this monitor mounted on the windshield along the bottom edge in the corner on the passenger side. He mentioned that this sometimes blocked his view on track. Relocating this will now give Brandon back that spot of the windshield that was previously blocked and now puts it within arms reach without having to lean forward from his seat. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/8ae79bae-efa8-4f33-8b04-dc32610c60ff/DSC02429.JPG keys - Garmin Catalyst Install - Make it stand out Here is the new trim piece with the Garmin magnetic mount installed. Again, the idea of making a block-off plate to hide the hole came to mind. I decided against it due to the amount of work needed to make it fit well versus how useful it would actually be. Brandon never intends to remove the Catalyst, and having quick access to the mount which controls power and the camera is not a bad thing either. A plate however would still be nice. Maybe something we revisit at another time… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/e8ecbe99-86dd-4465-9da9-591a58814899/DSC02423.JPG keys - Garmin Catalyst Install - Make it stand out Here is the new radio dash kit that we’re using for the Garmin install. It is required to reuse the old radio bracket which allows for the new dash kit to be properly secured. This was removed from the factory headunit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/e1e79b5a-e323-42b9-b7e6-6127350744a6/DSC02425.JPG keys - Garmin Catalyst Install - Make it stand out The factory bracketry actually made for a very nice mounting solution for the Garmin mount. Originally in the planning phases, I had envisioned creating a plate that would go across the double din slot of the dash kit and have the Garmin hard mounted to that. This turned out to be much less work, as well as being more simplistic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/c0747ead-b0bd-4759-839a-78a02de57956/DSC02436.JPG keys - Garmin Catalyst Install - Make it stand out After that was done, I moved onto installing the JDi Ghost Box. This particular unit comes with a radio harness adapter, however since Brandon’s RSX Type S has the factory Bose system, the factory amp needed to be bypassed which required removal of the passenger seat. Without the factory passenger seat this Bose amp has no place to fasten to so Brandon had this paperweight sliding around scratching up the floor. Since we are bypassing the amp and hardwiring directly to the speakers, we can now remove the Bose amp completely. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/735242a3-3c24-4d7c-84aa-67057ff757bf/DSC02438.JPG keys - Garmin Catalyst Install - Make it stand out Harness all taped up neatly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/01753c34-030b-4474-ab10-4495d5351fc9/DSC02427.JPG keys - Garmin Catalyst Install - Make it stand out Once I found the spot I was happy with, I marked and drilled the holes. I had some button head bolt screws that were the perfect size but were much longer than needed. I ended up just cutting off the excess length and applied blue lock-tite to help prevent the nuts from backing off. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/1d2d6895-3aca-4230-ac7c-8126550b4f4d/DSC02421.JPG keys - Garmin Catalyst Install - Make it stand out I made sure to eject all of Brandon’s 6 CD’s, and good thing I did.

We will be removing the factory radio in favour of the Garmin Catalyst. Special note that Brandon’s RSX has the optional A-Spec interior trim kit - the silver garnish around the radio and climate control bezel seen here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/ef416aec-600b-46b8-9b96-60e2a3b54727/DSC02422.JPG keys - Garmin Catalyst Install - Make it stand out With the radio removed, there is a huge cavity in the dash behind the radio.

Cavity wax sprays out like a liquid, becomes slightly tacky but does remain wax-like and does not harden over time. It coats the surface and prevents moisture from sitting or building up on the areas that are coated. I would recommend using this on any metal body panels that may have holes in them. I also used this in my trunk around the mounting holes for the wing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/dbaa236a-672a-4228-9e9e-759d738d02b7/Sequence_09_AdobeExpress.gif keys - FD2R Conversion: Side Skirt Install - Make it stand out In the end I’m glad that I ended up going this route.

The saving grace here is that the OEM JDM FD2 fender already has an alignment hole for the side skirt which helped with getting the rest of the skirt lined up. I used vinyl transfer paper to mask along the doors. The idea was to; 1. protect the paint along the doors during the mock up process and 2. allow something for witness marks to appear on left over by pressing the clips against the vehicle. https://www.keysautoclub.com/blog/ozh-july-5-2023 monthly 0.5 2024-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/d4342fbe-9e11-4f75-8477-ec35a2125f49/DSC01172.JPG keys - OZH Meet: July 5 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/d5c7c7a2-db2d-4c32-afa0-80cdaadfe6cf/DSC01111.JPG keys - OZH Meet: July 5 - Make it stand out Nissan 300ZX on red TE37s.

The list of modifications on this car is incredibly lengthy and consist of parts that Alex has been collecting over many years. I’ve spend a good amount of time taking in all of the details and bits, but there is still some much that I’ve either scanned past or haven’t had an opportunity to see - like suspension or parts hidden behind panels or liners.

I personally believe these are the details that truly take a build to that top level. I’m sure the charge harness was brand new wiring and terminals, however Alex took it a step even further and applied acrylic tape to all of the charge harness to help with heat resistance - this looks much cleaner than the traditional plastic loom found in most production vehicles. The amount of care it takes to do this, and to do it well for that matter, is what truly makes this car that much more special. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/bff13298-68fe-49e1-8e2d-06a664114965/DSC01097.JPG keys - OZH Meet: July 5 - Make it stand out Jamie’s S2000.

An option that never came from factory as Canada never received the Type R in black. There are so many pieces in this interior that have been given dedication to. One of my favourites are the red seat belts. It gives a pop of colour and ties in the rear bench nicely. Alex also flocked and lined the pillar pieces and headliner in a black suede-like material. The dome light and window visors were also redone in black to match.

The font type specifically. This isn’t something we see very often anymore - a font type that has character and has that hand-drawn styling. Not that there were digital typographies available back then… Modern day cars are all quite similar in this regard, using clean and simple sans serif style fonts which I also do enjoy, but it’s neat to see these types of details in older classics. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/f9c659b3-9473-4f3b-affa-031479380f84/DSC09674.JPG keys - Steel Dreamz Show n’ Shine - Make it stand out Another angle of the FJ40. Here you can see the frame and the wheel well. I’m not sure how much of it is original, but it’s in near-perfect condition. Inside on the seat were original Toyota owners manuals. I would love to own one some day. If you’re into these Landcruisers as well, I’d recommend heading over to The FJ Company to check out the incredible work they do to resto-mod these trucks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/39f04b8b-bbcd-4149-9a57-8ab9aedd3895/DSC09645.JPG keys - Steel Dreamz Show n’ Shine - Make it stand out Everyone admiring Kenji’s freshly finished Mazda RX7 in Innocent Mica Blue, paying homage to the Spirit R.

I really enjoy the colour scheme on this Landcruiser which I do believe came like this from factory. To me, it’s not as attractive as the FJ40 series, but it has historical value as it’s what Toyota considered to be it’s first “station wagon”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/6433cc29-a6cf-4838-9fe8-74f5df9402e8/DSC09814.JPG keys - Steel Dreamz Show n’ Shine - Make it stand out A unique headlight set up.

No extra storage pockets, cupholders, or other distractions that would keep your focus off the road. Being an open wheeler, the interior is bound to collect all sorts of dust and debris while driving as you can see here. I would bet the owner of this Lotus enjoys it. Very cool. I believe this Lotus was awarded the best tuner. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/472c3859-2e10-4616-ac4c-310da77d6e83/DSC09873.JPG keys - Steel Dreamz Show n’ Shine - Make it stand out Gorgeous orange colour on this Ford Mustang.

This was also something I learned at the show, but this Dodge 440 is unique in the sense that it’s a Canadian variant meaning that the exterior body is a regular Dodge 440, however the interior was taken from a Plymouth. This one was also a convertible making this specification quite rare. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/94bba5ac-bcb4-4c47-8d8a-9826d4b03570/DSC09720.JPG keys - Steel Dreamz Show n’ Shine - Make it stand out Lotus Super Seven open wheeler in attendance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/0c8c7733-b9c6-42a5-b86f-d0932ee5b463/DSC00004.JPG keys - Steel Dreamz Show n’ Shine - Make it stand out The trunk of the Civic housing all of the amplifiers with more speakers and a TV on the trunk lid. I understand that this may not be to everyone’s taste I can attest to the amount of work that something like this would take and that in itself should be something to be admired. Much of the work many of us don’t see as well is all of the work hidden away, such as all of the wiring, cable management, custom fabrication for all of the speaker housings, and even potentially suspension upgrades to support all of the additional weight. While I do think some of the execution could have been done better for a more seamless look, overall it’s quite the impressive audio build and still cool to see today as car audio is slowly becoming a lost art. You can bet this Civic sounded unreal though - it was tuned very well and had a very balanced sound. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/d9939acc-164f-4457-aa96-7e357e0c6b1e/DSC09793.JPG keys - Steel Dreamz Show n’ Shine - Make it stand out Rad Datsun 510.

Reminds me of something out of the Midnight Club or Need for Speed Underground video games. Being a car audio guy myself, I had to take a closer look to see all of the work that was done. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/9e8df755-9e17-41c0-9631-1bd40ec38dad/DSC09713.JPG keys - Steel Dreamz Show n’ Shine - Make it stand out It’s no slouch either.

They did provide the much needed shade for the attendees, however… I tried capturing the truck bed, but wasn’t carrying my wide angle lens that day so here is a crappy shot trying to highlight the work done in this truck bed which was beautifully done in hardwood. This truck ended up winning the best truck. Very well deserved. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/00efa883-9612-4573-bc40-d0eddff6d22e/DSC00072.JPG keys - Steel Dreamz Show n’ Shine - Make it stand out Heart shaped side marker on the Forester.

There was also a heart shaped steering wheel as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/f42a4af3-5260-4d54-bc1d-25793ac9732c/DSC09669.JPG keys - Steel Dreamz Show n’ Shine - Make it stand out Another of the FJ40 Landcruiser as this is a favourite. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/4831c20e-db7d-4748-b894-865d904b0fe1/DSC09661.JPG keys - Steel Dreamz Show n’ Shine - Make it stand out Upon arriving at Charlesglen Toyota, one of the first things that caught my eye were these classic Toyotas parked infront of the dealership. Included here from front to back are; 3rd gen Supra, 1st gen MR2, FJ40 Landcruiser, and an FJ55 Landcruiser. Also pictured in the back behind the FJ55 is the Calgary Police Services new mobile command center which they allowed spectators inside to see. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/7499eb8e-4130-4621-96eb-a1a9dd22c421/DSC09959.JPG keys - Steel Dreamz Show n’ Shine - Make it stand out Nick’s 911 GT3 on BBS E88s.

It’s odd to see an OBD connector in something of this vintage. Without being able to look under the hood, it’s a dead giveaway that there must be something modern in the engine bay… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/3618b54e-430d-4f27-acfd-0b2f12d192a9/DSC09879.JPG keys - Steel Dreamz Show n’ Shine - Make it stand out Another close up of this instrument panel.

This was my first time seeing and learning about the C70.

I think these would have had to been imported from Germany. I didn’t get a chance to speak with the owner, so I’m not sure of this cars specific history. Well executed build, nonetheless. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/ef23a932-34db-4f0d-b344-32d3a9d5479a/DSC05135.JPG keys - Village Honda Show and Shine - Make it stand out Turbocharged goodness.

I tried to get better photos of it, but gave up after a few seconds when there were a bunch of people standing infront. It was a completely stock looking Fit, I don’t even remember if it had aftermarket wheels on it. Complete sleeper. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/d93f8f4e-3b38-413d-95ba-e39003beba27/DSC05124.JPG keys - Village Honda Show and Shine - Make it stand out Yoseph showed up with his 8th Gen Civic Si sedan. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/88108575-d157-4acd-8f9f-32aeb1fa4dc9/DSC04976.JPG keys - Village Honda Show and Shine - Make it stand out Esoteric Collective’s FK8 with a Spoon bumper and I think what looks like a Racebred Components’ front splitter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/2ac41f2c-63ff-4946-b625-231aedc26422/DSC05062.JPG keys - Village Honda Show and Shine - Make it stand out These wheels must also be brand new… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/374967ff-43ed-41d3-b332-5121b704edf6/DSC05090.JPG keys - Village Honda Show and Shine - Make it stand out Jamie’s RHD Spoon built EK9 Civic Type R. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/490f7f36-73e8-4755-a537-bdcb2703e31c/DSC05082.JPG keys - Village Honda Show and Shine - Make it stand out The interior of the Prelude was also very clean and in amazing condition. The owner had all the original documentation and brochures displayed on the dashboard as well. I especially like how the Momo steering wheel looked in here with the NSX Type S horn button. Pictured are also the optional Murano floor mats ;). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/44fe6ee0-25fa-4617-a94c-ef859740418a/DSC05037.JPG keys - Village Honda Show and Shine - Make it stand out Danny’s boosted BB6 Prelude, still with the factory H22A. I’ve always wondered why this chassis never gained as much popularity as Integras or Civics - These are great looking cars in my opinion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/09671bc6-2a79-4e95-8f5f-d58c4600a26d/DSC05112.JPG keys - Village Honda Show and Shine - Make it stand out Good to see this car out since it’s been tucked away in the garage for the last few years as Danny worked on getting the turbo set up just right. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/4f5c9e31-6fdf-4417-8d4e-48fdd1eaf6d5/DSC05025.JPG keys - Village Honda Show and Shine - Make it stand out Tried to get a shot of Jason’s Advans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/29bca85d-2bea-4988-9d6e-a81b0907f44f/DSC05032.JPG keys - Village Honda Show and Shine - Make it stand out Rear end of Esoteric’s FK8. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/c5263a4f-a7d6-4450-afd7-d0ac716e900a/DSC05049.JPG keys - Village Honda Show and Shine - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/d066a19c-967d-4d9f-a95e-e8788955254a/DSC05133.JPG keys - Village Honda Show and Shine - Make it stand out Very clean 8th gen coupe on a set of well fitting Enkei RPF01s. Silver on silver is such a good combo. Simple, but definitely a great look. One of my favourite details on this is the extended line from the foglight grille sweeping upwards towards the headlight. I’ve never seen this done before, but I think it looks quite sharp. Cool visual mod to make it stand out a bit more from the others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/43eb7dc9-55f2-437c-a0ab-d70633b0b776/DSC04960.JPG keys - Village Honda Show and Shine - Make it stand out Speedfactor lineup posted up right infront of the dealership. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/22112a46-3e8b-43a4-bb60-c8de04ac7997/DSC05009.JPG keys - Village Honda Show and Shine - Make it stand out Mugen MF10s and Advan GTs on these FK8s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/eeebb10f-f29f-4518-88b0-909ea12b5d23/DSC05121.JPG keys - Village Honda Show and Shine - Make it stand out And that’s a wrap for the Village Honda 2nd Annual Show and Shine. Thanks to the team over at Village Honda and also to all of the participants who made this a fun morning and afternoon. Hoping this event gets larger with time. I know there are many more Hondas lurking in Calgary and with not many Honda-specific meet ups happening throughout the summer, this is a great event that deserves more attention. Hope to see more cool Hondas in the upcoming years here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/76a19b8a-7464-4622-bcb2-fb5cc0252ffc/DSC05110.JPG keys - Village Honda Show and Shine - Make it stand out Alex’s freshly restored ITR. This went under an extensive restoration with Alex choosing to use only brand new OEM pieces. This extends to the hardware, trim pieces, mouldings, windshield, optional aero, Type R replacement sticker and so much more… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/2734ea5b-1c31-4d26-a6cc-f7e3ab21daab/DSC05140.JPG keys - Village Honda Show and Shine - Make it stand out Inside the dealership was this Legit Honda NA2 NSX-R on display. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/6daab0fc-edad-4399-8898-e3fb256871da/DSC05142.JPG keys - Village Honda Show and Shine - Make it stand out NA2 powerplant. For how rare and exciting this car is “supposed” to be - it didn’t inspire any special feelings to me… I can’t quite put my finger on why - possibly the colour combo which didn’t look great to me. Black mirror caps, black wheels, white headlight housing… it just didn’t seem to flow. I do feel like this deserved more appreciation than I was giving it. Maybe it’s just not for me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/61060320-9d8c-4206-be20-54a545a235e4/DSC04977.JPG keys - Village Honda Show and Shine - Make it stand out Another angle of the J’s Racing bumper.

The owner of this Aston Mini went a bit further and made this work as a RWD. I couldn’t imagine having to work on the engine - doesn’t look easy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/54e3a34c-0d26-4793-98e1-14e740e7aa1b/DSC04962.JPG keys - Village Honda Show and Shine - Make it stand out Aggressive carbon over-fenders to help widen the track of this Mini. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/8870f47f-f292-4aa1-91d2-47eee0621fc0/DSC05085.JPG keys - Village Honda Show and Shine - Make it stand out EM1 Civic wearing a Spoon Sports themed livery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/a68a973c-2118-4a7b-b82c-7037d2cf5a6a/DSC05114.JPG keys - Village Honda Show and Shine - Make it stand out Headed back outside and some more group shots. https://www.keysautoclub.com/blog/pastels-f7n7d monthly 0.5 2024-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/f18035e2-83c2-42f7-b18c-70990a10cd33/DSC05850.JPG keys - Illmotion Sunday School: Year Ten - Make it stand out Twinning and winning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/ca5f5639-176f-4634-9161-ce64997b808c/DSC05843.JPG keys - Illmotion Sunday School: Year Ten - Make it stand out A Honda F20C powers this AE86 Corolla. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/b1c8e2ad-31cf-45f0-b584-8453e72ee7d0/DSC05694.JPG keys - Illmotion Sunday School: Year Ten - Make it stand out Perfectly spec’d MK4 Supra.

The lengths we go here to try and replicate this interior, from the red recaros, carbon fibre cluster, to the matte grey parking brake button… There were simply some things that never could be swapped over to a LHD vehicle properly as they simply were never made. Things like the matching aluminum dead pedal, red capets, carbon fibre climate control, just to name a few… Very cool to see one in person. I remember coming back to this one a few times. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/cd4556db-13cb-438b-8b06-9413289f23de/DSC05766.JPG keys - Illmotion Sunday School: Year Ten - Make it stand out Suitable set of RS Watanabe 8 spoke wheels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/c3545ddb-0549-421b-8017-abf6eaebb41f/DSC05840.JPG keys - Illmotion Sunday School: Year Ten - Make it stand out 37” Maxxis MT’s mounted on BRAID beadlock wheels on a Merc G-Wagon.

I love this body style. This car apparently is part of the Mexico Racing League. Never heard of them… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/99ff2994-21db-4e42-a327-864c498991a5/DSC05688.JPG keys - Illmotion Sunday School: Year Ten - Make it stand out Engine bay fully shaved and tucked.

This downtown lot provides such a great backdrop from the neighbouring buildings. The SODO residential building in the background provided a nice contrast of colours to the cars. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/cd729185-49cb-4f2a-8a00-72f71b4b21d2/DSC05894.JPG keys - Illmotion Sunday School: Year Ten - Make it stand out Another JDM legend - this one looked to be Z-tune spec’d. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/aeebbca8-fc7e-4029-a91a-46e81cff132b/DSC05763.JPG keys - Illmotion Sunday School: Year Ten - Make it stand out Steering wheel somehow seemed appropriate - not sure why. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/08bf3918-8423-489a-a562-4793d5882d36/DSC05746.JPG keys - Illmotion Sunday School: Year Ten - Make it stand out Rhys’s track E92 M3 parked beside Mike’s track FD RX7 in the Alpine Motorwerks section. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/57ad06b9-fd2f-4123-90f0-75133221712e/DSC05776.JPG keys - Illmotion Sunday School: Year Ten - Make it stand out Varis Ultimate rear bumper with rear diffuser on this GR WRX STi. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/6dc7fb00-b4e5-4ca7-bf23-3eacaa9f843d/DSC05726.JPG keys - Illmotion Sunday School: Year Ten - Make it stand out Spent some time at the Fake Hero booth checking out their artwork and merch that they had on sale. They had a bunch of cool anime inspired things for sale, like this one tucked away on a hood vent. We’re starting to see more of these small businesses come up at car shows and I’m all for it. I love seeing local artists come out and do their thing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/01f9bf64-513d-4042-9e68-c4c64f5e0cc4/DSC05738.JPG keys - Illmotion Sunday School: Year Ten - Make it stand out The heart of this NSX on display with ITBs’ through the rear glass of Jackie’s Acura NSX. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/508426e6-47f1-4079-9f06-5ef93901e116/DSC05805.JPG keys - Illmotion Sunday School: Year Ten - Make it stand out This EG Civic on display with an immaculate engine bay powered by a K20A with a mass assortment of top quality parts. Even the hardware was looking fresh out of the package. That hood latch even looks better than they did from factory. No corners were cut here. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/06166d92-71e5-43ed-990c-53139978a150/DSC05891.JPG keys - Illmotion Sunday School: Year Ten - Make it stand out A pair of JDM legends both rocking TE37s.

What a cool show-piece to have, and something I’m sure the winners are proud to display. That wraps up my coverage of the show, which highlights probably only about 5% of everything that was in attendance. As mentioned earlier, I didn’t dedicate to much of my time taking photos and instead decided to be present and enjoy my day with good company. It’s nice to have an archive to look back on, and in hindsight, should have taken more time to capture pictures as this was the last opportunity with Sunday School. I’m not sure when we will be able to attend or witness another local show at this scale.. I guess we will have to wait and see if there will be another person or group to take on the reigns and carry on the legacy, or perhaps start a new one… If you’ve made it this far, thank you for reading. It’s been fun putting this first blog post together and I’m looking forward to sharing even more in the future. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/f228bbab-8f2d-44f7-8e94-648a59fa1694/DSC05706.JPG keys - Illmotion Sunday School: Year Ten - Make it stand out Three pretty best friends. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/fbde2367-99ca-4519-9736-b568c559ce1f/DSC05801.JPG keys - Illmotion Sunday School: Year Ten - Make it stand out I love EKs’ and this one is perfect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/7ecede0f-a59c-4a03-96af-96028f6d0220/DSC05823.JPG keys - Illmotion Sunday School: Year Ten - Make it stand out Looks to be a Personal x Bride collaboration steering wheel, that shares the Neo Grinta shape. Signed as well, although I’m not sure who, but I would assume by the president of Voltex - excuse my ignorance.

I personally find this front end to be more visually appealing over the more popular Spoon bumper for FK8. Also inside the cabin are a matching pair of Bride A.i.R bucket seats. Great looking FK8. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/ed5fef3c-ea11-42e3-89a3-539768edb21c/DSC05729.JPG keys - Illmotion Sunday School: Year Ten - Make it stand out Phoenix Yellow FK8 Civic Type R also rocking the Advan GT’s and a Varis rear spoiler. These wheels are seemingly becoming quite a popular choice amongst many. I think the intention of the ramps were to show off the exhaust from underneath, perhaps? Unfortunately due to spacing between cars, it was hard to get under to really see anything. I didn’t bother to check myself. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/a77082cb-134e-4048-8c7a-00698c7ccaff/DSC05710.JPG keys - Illmotion Sunday School: Year Ten - Make it stand out Sporting some blue Advan RG II’s and an OG Speedtech decal.

It was difficult getting a full length shot given there were so many cars in attendance and were therefore parked closely together. Wonder if this livery has caused any accidents from onlookers. At least one nose bleed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/759cb43d-5301-49f3-85f9-179d5acfc00e/DSC05829.JPG keys - Illmotion Sunday School: Year Ten - Make it stand out Looking down the alleyway of VS One Automotive… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/e725ad15-a93e-4230-bf7c-d5e98aed6820/DSC05689.JPG keys - Illmotion Sunday School: Year Ten - Make it stand out Immaculate A70 targa top Supra.

I know there is a ton of controversy around the new Volk Racing lineup with Volk deciding to incorporate engraving on the spokes and lips of the wheel - especially within the purist and “OG” crowd. I get it, and also agree that some of the newer styles have a little too much going on. Most of the engraving detracts from the overall style and look of the wheel but I think what Rays did with these 2021 LIMITED versions look good. I like that they opted to engrave the “Rays” logo instead of the usual “Volk Racing Engineering”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/670efc28-b69e-4ce1-b0ba-2e849e379537/DSC03803.JPG keys - Streets of Long Beach ‘22: P.3 - Make it stand out Matt Field’s drift Corvette. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/f6835b05-0ecc-4c9e-9b59-a3c7c546a264/DSC03696.JPG keys - Streets of Long Beach ‘22: P.3 - Make it stand out I’m not too well-versed in my German cars so I almost missed it - but under the hood of this BMW is a Mercedes-Benz engine.

The double pressed black TE37SLs are subtle touch, but it really sets off the rest of the car. Great car. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/68c653f8-5cac-4aea-91b9-b46f4425a3cc/DSC03919.JPG keys - Streets of Long Beach ‘22: P.3 - Make it stand out Crews out here need to work quick in order to keep the cars running in top shape.

Carbon kevlar front bumper showing underneath the teal paint. You can really see the drift damage being this close up - which in my opinion just adds to the cool factor. Complete opposite of show cars, but still showing extremely well, just in a different way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/d877049e-8073-4341-9654-5f454885cfa0/DSC03223.JPG keys - Streets of Long Beach ‘22: P.1 - Make it stand out Right outside of the hotel was a section of road that was closed off for the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach happening the following week. That would have been a rad event to attend as well. This was on the Friday evening leading up to the weekend of the event. Some of the Formula Drift drivers participate in a parade. I didn’t catch the parade but I did catch them at the end where the drivers parked their cars and were doing meet and greets with fans. This was an unique opportunity to see the cars up close. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/fa361a3f-2cc7-468f-802d-fa42036f5006/DSC03256.JPG keys - Streets of Long Beach ‘22: P.1 - Make it stand out The interior of the E46. Just the necessities - purely functional and purpose built. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/e9a86238-3dc8-4d41-984a-c22d22553ddc/DSC03272.JPG keys - Streets of Long Beach ‘22: P.1 - Make it stand out This lucky guy got to sit in Federico’s Ferrari 599 GTB! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/87f0879c-8037-43d0-b8fb-6a2f05fa1590/DSC03277.JPG keys - Streets of Long Beach ‘22: P.1 - Make it stand out Adam LZ and Collette meeting the fans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/350676f0-f1aa-4132-9815-20398b5a0bf1/DSC03294.JPG keys - Streets of Long Beach ‘22: P.1 - Make it stand out A real photographer for the Formula Drift team. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6459b905d087800d8f7ba4f3/36da0e03-5cdc-48f5-9754-cb972ce19b86/DSC03314.JPG keys - Streets of Long Beach ‘22: P.1 - Make it stand out Headed back to the hotel for the night and I finally got to see a Honda.
