All of the cars in the shoot look amazing, and really speak to the quality of Toronto’s current EK scene.

Additionally the pictures themselves are of top notch quality.

I have to say hats of to Emilio because I couldn’t imagine the logistics of organizing a shoot this large.

That's a lot of illegally parked EKs

Impressive lineup of local hotness

Hmmm... who's the lowest?

Junction 90 doin it big

Toronto finest

I’ll admit when s2000s first came out I wasn’t all about them but, as the years go by and more people let loose on them the more I dig.

Chrome RPF-1s ain't bad

Saw this car on Sunday

Low and out

Beautiful and local

Dope shot

Fat Kid seems to have a bead on nice s2ks

Tight fit

Today is a day for purple

Hardtop Siik

I wish we had waterfronts like this here

K.I.S.S.

Local S2000 that was at HT7

Dougboy has been on a rampage lately, killing the photography scene

Classic gold, red cap, polished LMs

My favorite of the set. Simply angry

If you missed the first Sick S2000 post here it is.

This car is just plain perfect, the color, the wheels, and the stance all just work.

If for whatever reason you have no idea what that title is about check out the Chappelle skit here.

The sun makes that color pop so nice

I'm man enough to rock a purple whip

Still wish these were RWD.

Because of my move the previous day my time at the show was short and sweet and while I didn’t show up during it’s peak but I was still able to get a lot of shots of the action and, thankfully, the time I showed up it had cooled down slightly as it was a scorcher.

Random Stuff

Last year I saw a girl manhandling a hog and this year I saw a bike burnout.

Bikes create a lot of smoke in a short period of time

My gf pointed out this sticker, I like it

Not really random, but the only Accord I shot all day, it really caught my eye

Non Honda

Like any good car show Honda Tech draws out all car owners.

Nice Subaru I saw near the entrance

Loved this paint, gotta find out the code

Immaculate looking Skyline

Super clean RHD RX-7 on Wedsports

Drop dead beautiful e36

Mr Ing pushed in his splitter from the last time I saw him, looked good before, looks great now

Toronto G35 owners really have their fitment game on point

Super clean

Beautiful bug, which had the melons sticker from above on it

Clean setup

Honda powered AE86

I've seen this car a few times but never noticed the Nextmod flameboy here before

Clean, dialed, and proper

Kinda hard to see here but this Supra basically had a drain pipe for an exhaust

And for good reason look at that giant ass turbo!

The full package

Acura’s

For the Acuras this is just easier than breaking it up by body style

Dumped RSX

Widebody RSX that has been shot by Dougboy

I used to want a DC dumped on GSR blades so bad

The Mugen DC that was at the Nextmod BBQ

Beautiful JDM Type R

Nice and clean

Another great looking Type R

This car is on point

Somehow I almost walked past this NSX

Civics

Last year I broke it up by generation but this year I am just doing it by name.

Dara actually rides the bike you see on the rack

The last set of Fitapaldi's I saw was on Jay @ Stance Factorys e30

Clean eg infront of the Teknotik booth

Actually met Chester this time! Had some stickers for me

k-Tuned eighth gen

Perhaps the GTA's most loved SI

Every time I saw this car there was a crowd around it

It was very clean and that cf lip was fire but the real feature was the bay

Which was cleaned up then done up with graffiti

One of the cleanest civic's of this generation I have ever seen

Beast

S2000′s

The S2000 scene in the GTA seems to be expanding rapidly

RPF-1s, timeless, functional

Another car that has been shot by Dougboy

Flush

and more flush

Arc Magic

Msequence was spinning beats at the event, he also changed his rim color

Make sense for a DJ to have a clean I.C.E. setup

In between lifting, unpacking and cleaning I am going to edit my photos from yesterdays Honda-Tech 2010 (should be up this evening) but as much as your employers would like I can’t leave you guys without something Monday morning so here is the latest effort from Dan Cyr 10 minutes of awesome drift coverage featuring his brother Pat and the rest of the pack from the DMC.

Drift Posse is winning 2010.

CYRIOUS PRODUCTIONS – DAY & NIGHT from Cyrious Productions on Vimeo.

Edit: Turns out I can’t actually embed it so click above to view, its worth it!

Well even if the above scenario has never crossed your mind this s10 is an accurate representation of what happens.

This trucks got a lot going on and unfortunately none of it good.

Brush bar pointing down...

Fullsize flares, small sized truck

Bed rails... on a tonneau cover?!

After coming across the pictures above I also came upon this video of some people having ‘fun’ with an airbag.

In my high school out class we blew up an air bag an old steel desk chair and the force of the bag pretty well ruined that desk.

Ever since seeing that I have stopped messing with air bags and truthfully I am always a little worried about older ones (e30 bags for example).

Air bags have a lot of force to them (I think they come out at 300mph or something crazy), this guy learned the hard way.

Site Updates

Well, I’ve been mentioning it for little while now but its finally here. This Saturday my girlfriend and I move from our apartment condo to a townhouse, and I have to say I am looking forward to the move and not living in a box kingdom anymore.

It’s been a busy past few weeks juggling work, riding, moving, and this blog, but things should return back to normal pretty soon.

It might be small, it might smell, and it might have a random desk in it but it's all mine.

Once the dust settles I plan to roll out a few changes to the blog over the next few weeks (nothing drastic) but first the store will be updated with a re stock of epic proportions including, by popular demand, the ‘I Like Em Dropped‘ sticker  available in: black, yellow, red, and purple in addition to the pink and white/pink which it is already available in.

Finally Saturday I plan on doing a hit and run of the Honda Tech 7 event at Downsview park this weekend so expect another week with lots of GTA event coverage.

Flashback Friday

My girlfriend mentioned that with the amount of time we have spent looking for houses, furniture, money (didn’t find any), we didn’t get the opportunity to go camping this year.

This is a bit of a shame because while sleeping on the ground kind of sucks cooking meat over an open fire and coming across random car shows in the country rules.

The 20th Annual Kirkfield Carshow & Parade was the one we stumbled upon last year and I hope the next car show I happen upon is just as impressive.

This car deuce coupe was so nice in person...

I was able to improve quite a bit over the drifting shots I took at last years event so I am really looking forward to shooting some more at DMCC and the next round of CSCS.

Drift Competition

The competition starting with a field of about 16 and was whittled down to top eight, top four, and then a final winner. Anytime a round was too close to call they ran that set again which made for a lot of exciting action.

Drift Possee was on hand to judge and hang out

Notice how the smoke is coming from the middle of the car and not the tires?

That was his clutch giving it's last stand

My friend Chris De la Cruz was out sliding his m50e30

Initiating

He was also running a bunch of my stickers

Thanks man

Pat Cyr says Marin is a guy to watch out for this year

He's already rolled one car, but ain't scared

Marin plays a little follow the leader

He held his own but didn't make it to the final 4

John Fiddy knows how to slide his Skyline

He also knows how to send grass flying

As does Chris St John

The next two pictures are practically the same

Little more angle here

Can't remember who this was but he was photogenic

Kickin' up some smoke at the farther turn in the course

My GF nailed this panning shot

Some tandem sliding

As the track tried the cars started making a lot more smoke

Demo

After the competition all of the competitors got a chance to have some fun.

The guys from Union Auto club know how to cut loose

Cody Loughhead (I think) doing something incredible

Chris came out and raped the hay bale

I was pulling hay out of my pocket for some time after the show

After killing the hay Chris did some doughnuts

Keep drifting fun

I smelled like rubber the whole ride home

More tire fire

Tire companies must love drifting...

Fiddy is going

Going

Gone

This post contains photos of the the time attack event and a few cars I missed from yesterdays show & shine coverage, as well as a teaser of tomorrows coverage which will be nothing but drift action.

Off track

I knew I forgot some photos yesterday…

This is what happens when your car does not have a roof and it rains...

Purple, or pink?

So simple, so perfect

Saw this as I was leaving, even dirty as hell I still want it, BAD

Lapping

This just made the fact that I wasn’t able to get out to a lapping event this year sting even more, I really need to try this.

As I mentioned yesterday this Subaru looked right at home on the track

Advance Power House Civic getting up on 3

Stage four Civic leaving the corner

RX-7 on CCWs being put to task

Speed 3s are made for the track

This rally prepped Subaru was set up for the track on the weekend and was tearing it up

And this Subaru was a damn monster

This Nextmod Evo was my first attempt at a panning shot

Godzilla! Godzilla!

A Cosworth Evo being put through it's paces

I'm quite pleased with how this shot turned out

For you guys anxiously waiting for the drift shots here is something to hold you until tomorrow:

This, and only this with tomorrows coverage

With vinyl wraps becoming more prevalent there are a lot more cars coming out with matte finishes. I’m a fan of the look however it’s done but big props to those who do it flawlessly with paint.

The Matte black Infamous Project 5.0

I really like this finish

The matte finish sort of hides the flares here

Like a boss

This car has undergone some changes which I will have more info on shortly

Have I posted this s2k before? Perhaps, but its worth a second glance

Hot Rod flats

Skunk 2 Civic

8th gens are growing on me

Flawless

This NSX was later painted red but I like it this way better personally

Win, Win, Win

That's some bright ass pink!

Black shoe

All paint, all bad ass

Meanest looking Toureg ever? I think so.

Thankfully in Cayuga at CSCS the weather actually wasn’t too bad for most of the day, a little damp at times but for the most part dry and great for photos.

I managed to take quite a few pictures so I’ve broken up the coverage into multiple parts, today’s coverage is of the off track action.

Transformer II

I am a BIG Transformers (Generation 1 & 2) fan but this truck was a bit much for even me. Team H.V. put a lot of time into this truck (Avalanche?) but it was just way over the top.

I've never seen a wooden Autobot insignia before

Massive custom tilt front end

It's won a whole lot of trophies...

Subaru

This is the first time I have seen this Trial wide body Subaru in track trim and I’ll tell ya it looked good out on there on the track.

I might actually like this business setup over his usual set up

Up close of the sticker bomb

Euros

With Vagkraft going on at Downsview park a lot of the European crowd was over there ,but a few came out to enjoy the drier weather at CSCS

Gary's bright wide body e46, this is the first time I have noticed that he could go wider with his wheels

Spotted this MKII Golf in the paddock and out on the track

It was pretty quick

Nice Jetta on big lip RMs

The red on the outside of the lips was a unique touch, you can just make it out here

Chevy’s and Minis

Bowtie owners always bring the goods.

I have been given to OK by my girlfriend to build a car like this Nova

A GTA show regular

James brought his truck out and I manged to shoot it at the worst lighting angle ever

I did however get an alright shot of detailing he has going on underneath the truck

This bagged s10 was looking a little lonely

So some women stopped by to keep it company

Nextmod

As usual Nextmod rolled pretty deep both in the Show and Shine and the time attack/lapping events

Andrew was parked near the track, with the Nextmod fam

Andrew's trunk setup is very clean, I like the red on black

This Acura's Arc lip on the ground

Advnce Power House/Nextmod/Amuse s2000

Pearly's rims are greener than the grass

Drifters

When not on the track I manged to snap a few shots of these well used Nissans

Cooling between runs, this driver pushed his car hard

Chris St John can really slide a car

Nothing zip ties can't fix

Honda’s and Acuras

Just a preview of some of the cars that will probably be at Honda-Tech 7 next weekend, hopefully I can sneak out and get a few pics after the move.

Dumped Accord

With a cleaned, polished/chrome bay

Boosted H.V. performance DA

Big Turbo Inlet horn, looks like a trumpet

Very clean Turo el

Tiddy detailed engine pay

and an equally tidy trunk set up

Very clean functional looking eighth gen

@ChesterYu29's Civic on super Advans

I must have just missed him as he was judging at the show

Msequence got new rims as well as a few spoon accessories

The K swapped CRX from Scrape By The Lake

I almost got a set of these for my car but the offset was just a bit too aggressive (mexi)

I've taken a picture of this EK hatch every time I have seen it, love the color

Three very clean EKs

Never thought I would like purple lips, but here we are

Closer look at the SIR on CCWs

Which is actually owned by a woman

No, I am not tired of these wheels

That’s it for today, check back Wednesday (or maybe Thursday) for photos of the on track action with some guest shots from my girlfriend.

Ollie admits that he is not the biggest fan of traditional America Rods Muscle (because they typically don’t handle well) but he is a big fan of these.

I have not see a whole lot of euro rods before so I enjoyed these, hopefully you do too.

Ollie guesses this is an Austin A 90, I have no clue

Another Ford we didn't get in N/A, the Prefect

Austin 7s share a look similar to 32 Fords just squished

I have learned something new today: this is an a 40 Dorset

A nice race prepped Volvo 544

Older Volvos are so appealing because they are such a departure from what they do now, Amazon FTW

If all goes to plan this edition of Random Dopeness should go up as I am at the Next Mod 1 year anniversary meet. *crosses fingers*

Well it didn’t go to plan and this is one week late, better late than never!

I'm really a fan of these older Caddys done up subtle and clean

I wish I were there

Once a work truck now retired to the easy life

Another slammed full size,

Sometimes I think I have car A.D.D. my taste is all over the place

Best Volvo ever?

Those stacks are huge

Hmm lower truck = the ability to run taller stacks?

Sinister looking 2002 in it's element

Now this.. this is a work of art.

A big contributing factor to this is that I’ve got some of the smartest car nuts on the web as my readers who seem to know something about everything.

However I may have something today that’s been modified to the point where the answer may not be immediately apparent.

As usual first commenter gets a set of url stickers for being a sharp cookie, here is the car:

Can't show the front that would be too easy

I will also post this picture just because it’s very amusing:

I don't even know.

Flashback Fridays

My friend Crystal lowered her car yesterday after much prodding by myself which got me thinking that I should do another girls with hot rides Theme Tuesday Here is a flash back to the first one which was well received….

This picture, and woman, is e-famous

Speaking of VW’s if anyone is going to Vagkraft this weekend and wants a place to host their images send me an email.

Site Updates

I will be at the CSCS Xtreme Tuner Challenge show this weekend with my camera and bag of stickers on hand so if you see me be sure to say hi.

Sunday, Sunday, SUNDAY!

On the topic of stickers I have a new order coming which will include the popular ‘I Like Em Dropped’ sticker in a variety of colors including black, purpler, and yellow. Big thanks to Mat at Seche Media for fulfilling another order very quickly.

Watch out for a Sunday Random Dopeness post as well.

I’m not complaining because though because it’s better to be too busy than not at all as far as work is concerned.

Drawing inspiration from being slammed at work here is a quick post of an Accord slammed on Works.

Has anyone ever seen a bad VS-XX application?

If only I had more money

Poke all around with little to no camber in sight

My favorite shot of the set

If this car was any other color I think the hood would be too much

Almost vacation time…
