I’ll be concluding the 2012 Mega Speed coverage today with photos of the Imports, Euros, and Exotics along with a few of the exhibitors booths that were in the back hall of the International center.
This post is a little tail heavy clocking in at about 50 or so photos so if you are on your phone maybe save this for when you can grab some wifi.
SLC Magazine
Carlos and his recently started magazine had a booth at Mega Speed promoting both their print product and their recent partnership with DMCC for 20102, being right near the main stage they had a good view for all the action going on there too.
That's Andrew's Genesis behind the table there in it's SEMA wrapThat is issue one on top (pretty sure) and the latest behind itBrain's (of Elevated) EK was also in the SLC Booth
Automotofoto
AMF had a booth setup pumping music for most of the time I was there, between that and the main stage this hall was LOUD.
AMF models on day 2 of their 3 day marathonMT Motorsport / AMF project?
Factory Tire
The owner of Factory Tire seemed pretty happy to see me so I took a few pictures of the vehicles he had on display.
He's particularly fond of his plateWhile I was taking pics of his lambo I noticed this craziness going on around the corner...Came back later and this model was posing, this was the best angle I could get *kanye shrug*I think they have a show coming up late April...
Nextmod
When I went to the shop last Peter didn’t mention anything about attending this show so it was a surprise to find his cars directly behind The Montbomb.
The mild weather allowed both Kevin and Peter a chance to bring their cars out a little earlier this yearI need to take a trip back to the shop soon actually...
Sic Ryde
Sic had his usual diverse line up of personal cars and friends cars at Mega Speed.
Thanks again for helping run another contest this year Sic.
Sic's Porsche which could get real crazy soonThe wild CorradoYudi reppin' Sic Ryde with both of his wheels (Leon Hardiritt and LMs), which will he run this season? ETUNot sure if Kathrine was actually included on the official roster for Mega Speed but she was in attendance in the front hall
Punkin Mini
Last year there was a whole pile of Mini’s this year I could only find one. I wonder what happened?
I'm sure Ollie wouldn't mind thisStill have not watched the sketch this is from..
Fiat Abarth 500
The attention to detail put into this build was just incredible, and very much on par to the cars that were in the main hall. The detail that really caught my eye (in addition to how well this car rocks 12″ wheels) was the stripe that ran all the way around the vehicle including underneath the car.
Wild.
You can see the stripe under the car on the front mirrorA keen eye will also notice the stripe on the cluster and roofImmaculate engine bay of course
Nissan
Too Fast shop car got a makeover, looks much better than last yearPaul's Nissan sporting some Crown Royal love

More Boosted Cars
Not sure if I am just more aware of it now but it seemed like there was a ton of boosted cars at Mega Speed this year.
One of many function first HondasI think a lot of people overlooked this trioEngine bay of the silver hatchAnd the white oneSupra bayLuis was there with his beautiful s2000Not sure if I ever noticed his valve cover beforeGallardo not fast enough? Add two turbosInsane.Might have a hard time keeping up with the one above.
Euro

Absolutely.Charlie's Euro M3 will always be one of my favorite local carsHis shop (BimmerSport), Luxury Auto body, and Ultra Auto Sound recently combined to form areyouready.caI actually lost this poster, ha.
Honda/Acura
The owner of this car was telling me it has changed quite a bit since I saw it lastMy cam died right after this shot... this car still blows my mind too cleanJaved's ELBig things in this cars futureAnother shot of Brian's engine bay just because he put a lot of work into it over the winterOne of the cleanest Civics in the GTAThere were a lot of people studying Dan's fitment at the show, and for whatever reason touching the tire stretch to see if it was realThis setup is already history so who knows what's next
