Back to conclude the coverage from the 2013 Niagra Tuner And Truck Expo. As I mentioned yesterday once mother nature got her act together everything worked out pretty nicely for this years show.
It’s really quite impressive how much this show has grown in a short three years and people have even started to call it the replacement to the much loved Scraped By The Lake.
I never got a chance to attend Scrape in it’s infancy but I’m told that show started off very similar to TNT. It may be putting the cart a bit ahead of the horse in hoping this show grows to that level but the potential is certainly there especially when you consider the variety, vendor support, and following it already has.
Only good things can be on the horizon.
A picture perfect example of the variety, can’t think of many other shows were you would find a fitted MR-2 parked beside a 502 powered CamaroI can only imagine how well this movesDogs are scared of big blocksLove the classic raked stance and what look to be up sized rally wheelsBrad’s MR-2 as he rolled inErik cranked his coils down a bit since the last time I saw his SaabSo glad Tom opted to colour match his hoodI’ve on and off followed the build of this car on Stance|Works, the gold accents were a bit of a surpriseEarly in the day I heard this incredibly loud whistling noise and decided to seek it out……turns out it was coming from this PontiacApparently this gentleman heard there was a car show and just showed up, he didn’t know it was a tuner/truck event so he just sat around looking like a bossFrancesco Rizzuto’s EL getting a little wetThe M Weapon e36 was part of the Pas Magazine Tuner Battlegrounds Live competition, not sure if that still went down considering one of the competitors crashed on the wayI didn’t even know angel eyes existed for this gen…Big thanks to Josh for parking beside me and reppin’ the site, he took home best Mazda 3Trevor went home with second place with his speed 3Couple Toronto Mazda 3 memebersFirst time I’ve seen Shea’s car in person with the new set-up.

Billy’s Integra
One car I spent a lot of time walking around at the Truck and Tuner Expo was Billy’s Integra , with s14 front fenders, s15 headlights, prelude tails and a custom wide body this car was designed to pull people in for a closer look.
The shape of the rear quarters throws me a little bit but the craftsmanship is absolutely incredible, hats off to Frankie Valenti for 20hz Audio fame for the body work.
Damn good panel gaps for a conversionNotice how the quarters finish factory not just in a giant hunk of bondo like many widebodiesThe intercooler feeds a boosted B series motorAs expected the interior was also done to the 9sOne final glance at a distance to give an idea of the entire look
i don’t see my car at all. guess the only s2k there is hard to spot? however, great shots of TNT
