Event Coverage: Performance World 2011: Pt. 1

After reading other sites with weather envy all winter it felt pretty good to head out to a local event and get some photos this weekend. A lot of people have said that PW wasn’t as good this year in regards to turn out but I think for a show at the end of winter the turnout was pretty good. It takes a lot of dedication to get your car all cleaned up for three days and then drive it back out in the muck right after.

This year I’ve decided to switch things up a bit by posting the more modern Imports, Euros, and American cars first leaving the rat rods, traditional rods, and muscle cars to later.

Chevy

To tell you the truth I wasn’t sure what days coverage to post this Corvette in but because it’s not a classic, and doesn’t really fit in with the ‘Tuners’ and Euros but I’m sure none of you really mind that it’s in today’s mix.

Seems like a well know build too, somehow I had no idea.

ETC Enterprises did a crazy job on this car

Sits on 20x10 21x13 iForgeed Legacy V2

LSX 376 crate motor puts down the power

Toyota’s and Mazdas

There wasn’t really much from these brands at the show but here is a couple

This Chaser was practically hiding in the Direct Auto Imports booth

Last time I saw this car someone was sleeping in it

Honda/snail propelled

Veilside Widebody RX-7 on 20s all around

Custom audio by Natural Sound, really crazy looking setup in person

That rotary puts down 464 HP/379 tq

Mini’s

Out of nowhere this year there was a bunch of Mini’s at the show, I’m not complaining as some people (Ollie)* have got me hooked on these little buggers.

These cars just look like so much fun to drive

The Baur e30 of Mini's?

I wonder how hard it is to find tires for Mini's...

The Magic School Bus

K-swapped Mini!

The roof was CF (or CF over layed) which was a nice touch

and it was AWD (CRV rear end)

Honda’s and Acuras

Not always a huge fan of this generation Civic but this one was very nice

Clean K swapped EK

This cars been all over the net and back and still grabs my attention

I'm always glad to see this car has stayed the same, the owner got it right first time

Great looking rear diffuser

This S2K is another car I am glad stayed very close to what it looked like last year

Do not think I have seen this NSX before

The Importexpo livery covered NSX

Buddy Club wide body RSX I last saw at Rish's BBQ

Another Import Expo decal-ed Acura

Every time I see this EL I take a picture

Euros

This reminds me I should try and make it to Vagkraft again this year.

Shudder to think of the retail on these wheels

Hell ya this

Tuckin' Porsche wheels hard

M-Tricks wide body 2002

Have to give it to these guys, the car went through one hell of a transformation

4 door on Sportmaxx's I might know the previous owner of this car, not 100% sure

The Modified Society e36

That wide body e46 from High End was back and as rumored had a cage and forced induction

Sic Ryde

Had to cruise by the SIC RYDE display and see what was up for the beginning of 2011. He had his usual cars out as well as a few I had not seen since before going under the knife. Of course Sic’s personal Lexus had new wheels.

Overview of the SIC RYDE display

I saw an older gentleman stop his son in his tracks and tell him about when he had one of these cars

Sic's got his late model Benz game right too

Classy CLS 500

Accord on 20s

The wide body turbo vr6 Corrado

Unique filler setup

Sic's other Corrado which he bought brand new

Spotless Type R

Repsol Honda CBR that looked like it had an extended swing arm

Porsche drop

Sic's LS400 is on 22s this season, 22x10.5 out back...

Another shot of the LS just because I don't know how he got those to fit

Division R

Division R means business in 2011 they came this year with a lot more cars then I knew they had and the cars I did know they had all had new modifications.

Division R Fairlady, love the white letters

Wonder if the look is just a look or if he tracks it

Perdo Kicked his SSW's to the curb for some LM's, good choice

Followed this build on Maxbimmer, pretty crazy the work that went into it

Red CF hood, very nice touch

The setup is 19x10/ 19x12 and the quarters are all metal off a different e46

Been awhile since I had seen Randy (empowered) his e46 has gone through a bunch of changes

Hadn't seen Andrew in awhile either so we shot the breeze for a bit

Sam got a set of VS-XX wheels for this season, they look great

I'll see this car a few times this year I'm sure

Beautiful

I’ve got a lot more to come from this show over the next few days so if your wondering where the Muscle, Rods, and Minitrucks are don’t worry they are coming down the pipe.

Event Coverage: Importfest 2009

DaveT — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 01:41:12 +0000

This is the first time I have been to importfest in probably 9 years. Last time I went Randys Sparres e30 was still around. This show is hyped as the biggest car show in Canada so I guess my expectations were really high. I’ve been to a lot of shows this summer so that lead to me having seen a lot of the cars already. However I had not seen a lot of the models already so I took lots of pictures of them to make up for it haha. Let’s go.

Random Stuff

Car shows, serious business

Rollin on 29's. No clue how much these weight but probably too much

Pink rims I wonder if the proceeds go to breast cancer

$40 Honda Civic lips, so many people bought these. Wonder how they fit...

Cause I eat mo fuckas

Snake mirror

I guess if you need an edge up real bad a car show is the place to get it

Some of the venue

Models
This is what you guys came to see don’t front. Most of the model pics are candid or flash poached because my camera set up is not serious enough for them to want to pose for just me.

This guy was loving life

This girl had to dance infront of the speakers all day

The shirt said put the fun down or something like that

Hondas and Acuras

This car was repping for the daily driven crew

There was no bag setup in the trunk. This is static ride height. Crazy

If these cars were RWD they would have taken off.

Lots of vinyl here, kinda works though
