Spocom 2010 Preview…


So it’s been a pretty crazy week…Had some mag work to finish up in the beginning of the week and I finally found the time to start piecing my air ride set-up together with Ross from Midnight Garage. The parts came in around Wednesday and we got to work right away on it…

My Q45 finally out of storage and getting the long awaited new suspension…

Ross mocking up the air tank, compressors, and valves to go in the trunk…

It was many sleepless nights the last three days but Ross finished it up 2 hours before it was time to get the car over to Spocom in Long Beach for set-up. I hadn’t slept since that day before but being unsure of how the ride was going to be, the anxiety kept me awake all the way to the LBC. Got there around 10am and most of the guys were already there. Mikeyyyy and Jay from JDMEGO agreed to have the Phaze2 guys and a couple of the best Hondas in Socal show with Auto Concept for Spocom. It’s rare to do these types of things, as Auto Concept is one of the more high end type of car crews with all their multiple award winning cars so it was interesting to be paired with them. They were busy setting up their show display so we waited outside while they finished-up…

Salem, Gary, Doug, Billy with the IS300 and his roommate…

Mikey finally put on his CCWs…you gotta see these things in person to see just how crazy the fitment is….

DPK JP and Billy’s IS…

Auto Concept G37…

Bobby Taylor’s S2000 that I shot awhile back for Super Street…issue should hit newstands by September I believe…

Once we finally made it inside to park, we caught our first glimpse at Auto Concept’s display…If you guys are heading out there today, stop by and check it out, it’s pretty cool…

Then I met up with Tony and he showed me where the Source Interlink booth was where he was parked…

Big Mike with his new SE37Ks and DPK David at the Falken display…

Walked around with Salem and then we saw one of the coolest displays there, which was this Sparco time attack EVO X sitting on top of 4 Snap-On tool boxes…

Another look at the Falken area…Danny from PlusOne finally finished his Civic coupe and you can kinda spot it next to the Supra. I’ll make sure to get pics of it for you guys tomorrow. I talked to him for a little bit but he was busy finishing-up his cleaning and what not…

Infinit Wheels Civic…

Another look at Mikeyyyy’s CCWs…

That’s it. After I left I went home and slept like 10 hours or something. See you guys tomorrow if you plan on coming out, it looks like it’s gonna be a good one…
