Blox Open House 2012 Coverage…Part 3…


Soooo…it turns out that I actually have some more photos from the event than I had anticipated. I thought we would be able to close out the coverage of the Blox OH 2012 today but since there’s just around 80 photos leftover, I’m just going to divide that in half and split it into two. I usually try to keep the photos around 40-60 to try to save on load times and also to not overwhelm you guys with content. I don’t wanna do 60 today and then have like a random batch of 20 tomorrow so we’ll just cut it in half. These last two sets of photos honestly aren’t that great anyway. I tried to make a mad dash to get everything I could with a little over an hour left in the event and usually around 3-4pm is when it’s the absolute worst time to take pictures. The sun is bright and at an odd angle so you run into a lot of shadows and what not. People are also still standing everywhere so it’s easy for them to either cast shadows on the car or they are standing in the way and I somehow end up putting a shadow into my own shot. I avoid that whenever possible but with little time, it was tough to get exactly what I wanted. Other events I usually get everything done early in the morning or wait until the sun goes down but when you have a meet that ends right in the heart of the afternoon, eh, kind of tough. In any case, I had the chance to walk through the whole thing two or three times and just wanted to make sure that I got the shots of the cars that I wanted to show you. If for whatever reason I missed you, my reasoning is always the same, either I was unable to get a good shot when I was over by your car, or your car just didn’t appeal to me enough for me to want to capture it. No disrespect meant, I’m just getting stuff that I like or that I think my viewers would like. Not much else needs to be said, here comes Part Tres…

Get it? Got it? Good…

Jeremy Duarte’s RHD DB8R on new Work Meister M1Rs…

Pretty clean boosted white EG on Mugen M7s…nice job…

IMG_1216

IMG_1218

This H22-swapped CR-X on BBR Comps looked pretty mean…Tucked radiator too, nice…

I believe this is Jenn Q… If you want to see her in higher resolution, click here for larger version (1400×933)

I didn’t happen to catch the name of this aspiring import model but she was a part of the dunk tank game where enthusiasts were able to participate in. They pay a couple bucks to try to get her into the water and all the proceeds went to charity. I don’t know if the sun was a factor or if hundreds of other people staring put pressure on the participants but people were way off… I mean, you would think that some people were trying to hit her instead of the target. Luckily that cage was there or she would have been pasted with baseballs all day…

IMG_1166

The goal…

IMG_1163

The victim… At one point dudes were missing so poorly that one of the Blox staff members just walked up and pushed the button just to dunk her to keep people happy, haha…

IMG_1165

She was a good sport about it though and climbed back up a couple times to get dunked. The water wasn’t really the cleanest either since other people had been up there already. I mean, I saw some unsavory things floating around in the water and one can only inhale so much random disgusting water after other sweaty girls and a guy in a skunk costume had been in prior…

IMG_1172sized

While not the most appropriate photo, I thought that the fistful of dollars and the ass made for a good (and fitting) shot, haha… Reminds me of the Fry “Shut up and take my money” Meme floating around on the web… Why not have a Larger Version (1400×933)

IMG_1154

ATS AJ and Reeze’s baby boy Jace, I don’t know why this is here but I like my website to have balance. Stare at a photo with an ass and a fistful of dollars and then here’s a baby…

IMG_1175

Junior from Wekfest’s subtle DA Integra build on Work Rezax wheels…

IMG_1181

IMG_1182

Vette-swapped fox body Mustang from Dark Side Racing…

IMG_1183

E92 Bimmer with some wild iridescent Work Meister S1s…

IMG_1185

IMG_1186

The SR-swapped Datsun 510 that you saw in Part 1 of our Blox OH 2012 coverage….

IMG_1188

I almost wonder if this was James from Hasback’s old EK…looks spot on with the same mods and wheels… Only difference is this EK has Chronicles decals on it and James didn’t really care for The Chronicles too much, haha…

IMG_1191

Another build that you saw in Part 1, mint DA Integra on Mugen RnRs…

IMG_1192

I like where this build is going…once the front end is painted this EF is going to be pretty nice… Love the wheel choice too, fitting for that time period…

IMG_1195

IMG_1001

Now we’re gonna take a look at some of the scooters and Ruckus’ that were present at Blox OH… I’m not gonna lie, I don’t know shit about these things…so uh,…above is a scooter with things on it and it’s green, haha… Looks nice though. I think it might have taken an award home at the end of the day too… Congrats if you did, this guy who doesn’t know shit about it appreciates your work..

IMG_1002

This one looks nice…It’s got an exhaust on it and stuff…and it’s grey…I think…

IMG_1196

This Ruckus had a meaty ass rear wheel on it… Dual exhaust set-up is a different, not sure the purpose of it because again, I don’t know shit about these things… PG+K Jay has one too and I never ask him about it because he’s always eating and I don’t know what he’d be talking about…

IMG_1197

IMG_1200

I noticed this Ruckus was turbocharged which is not that common… I over heard some people talking about it and they mentioned that the dude had been through a couple motors already and it can go up to 100MPH… They could have been talking about something else though because that same previous statement applies to any Honda build, haha…

IMG_1049

I run a Honda-dedicated site and don’t know anything about a HONDA Ruckus, but I can tell you everything you need to know about this Lexus LS460 with full Wald kit and Wald fenders… isn’t that sad? Haha…

IMG_1143

I might even know more about this E-Class Mercedes…

IMG_1155

“Stance” is a word that is far to overused these days but I do like how this 3GS Lexus sits…

IMG_1207

IMG_1205

GM LSx-swapped FD3S RX-7…

IMG_1220

Iakona’s CD Accord on Work VS-XX wheels… I remember this CD back from when I had my Accord because he was one of the first guys to really take wheel fitment on that chassis to its limits…

IMG_1224

IMG_1225

These days, you’re likely to see a Civic build very similar to this anywhere you go in the country, maybe possibly even the world. Seems like every time I go check out some event coverage or go to an event, I always run into an EG hatchback with BBS wheels color-matched to the engine bay and the chassis itself is painted any contrasting color. No offense to the owner because the execution is not bad but it’s just so overdone now…

IMG_1227sized

Never been much of a fan of Stark II wheels but this coupe is honestly pretty nice. I like it and though it doesn’t have anything that immediately stands out, the total package works… Nice job… Larger Version (1400×933)

IMG_1228sized

Engine bay is well done… Like how the gold contrasts with the rest of the dark colors of the car… Larger Version (1400×933)

IMG_1241

IMG_1233

Starting to see a lot more builds pop up utilizing aero that would otherwise be “race-themed” mixed with air suspension… It makes for an interesting look but I’m not completely sold on it yet… I guess it depends on the chassis being built…

IMG_1238sized

Turbo S2000 with J’s Racing aero and Volk TE37SLs… Larger Version (1400×933)

IMG_1240sized

Candy purple accents in the bay make for good contrast… Larger Version (1400×933)

IMG_0992

Speaking of purple, here’s another shot of one of the GBM’s that everybody keeps asking for, haha…. I don’t know why you guys would want to see more of these chicks but this is the only other shot I got…

Back with the conclusion tomorrow, thanks for looking!…
