2011 S-Chassis Meet Pictorial RECAP! (Part 1)

The 3rd Annual S-Chassis Meet at the K1 Speed in Anaheim proved to be another successful event in the growing history of the show. Even amidst the shadow of JCCS going on in Long Beach, and the thunder and rain that SoCal woke up to that morning, the event still drew a high quality turnout of both S-Chassis and non S-Chassis vehicles!

2011 S-Chassis Car Show/Meet this SATURDAY (9/10/11)!

With just under a week to go, we wanted to post up one last reminder before the 2011 S-Chassis Show/JCCS "Super-Saturday" (9/10/11). We hope to see you there! We look forward to catching up with everyone we spoke to last year and see how their projects have come along in the last 12 months. If you're in attendance be sure to stop by our booth and say "hi", and let us know what's the latest with your project!

2011 S-Chassis Car Show/Meet is in the works!

No excuses this year! The organizers for the 3rd Annual S-Chassis Car Show and Meet are getting the word out early this year. With a tentative date of

NISMOlism 2011 Recap!



     If you happened to miss the first annual Nismolism Car Show/Meet at CalState Fullerton this past weekend you missed out on a great gathering of vehicles!  This was an all Datsun/Nissan/Infiniti meet so whether you had a 97hp '67 Datsun Roadster, or a fresh off the lot 2010 GT-R, you had a place at Nismolism.

The weather had been sketchy all week leading up to the show, yet on the day of the show blue skies prevailed (with occasional cloud cover at times). Perfect meet weather!

As with any first time meet of this size, there were minor things that could have been done better. Our only two trivial "complaints" were that 1) we would have loved to have each specific model parked together in designated sections, which would have made for GREAT photo opportunities, and 2) condiments for the food.  But that's how small our issues with the meet were; Parking and Ketchup. :)

Needless to say, we felt the meet was a success! Lotta cool people all too happy to talk about their cars. We enjoyed meeting a diverse group of people that were nice enough to grace our booth; like the (we'll keep them anonymous) 350Z owner who just landed a job as a CHP dispatcher and now wants to get his Z build going, or the guy who owns a 240SX but brought out his Cressida just to piss off his friends (haha), or the Student from Mexico studying English here and wishing his S13 coulda been at the meet.

A meet is only as good as the people.....and, well, the cars. So with that said enjoy our not-NEARLY-adequate-enough photo recap of the meet!

(A big "Thank You" to the organizers and volunteers for making this day happen. Can't wait for next years show!)

2010 SoCal S-Chassis Meet RECAP!

If you missed out on the S-Chassis show this past weekend (9/11/10) at the K1 Speed in Anaheim, here's a taste of what you missed!  Last years show was great and this year built upon it further.  The S12's had more representation this year, which was nice to see. The S13 and even the S14 crowd seemed larger as well.

It was nice seeing an even larger number of NON S-Chassis cars that came out to mingle also: Evo's, GTR's (R32, R35), FD RX-7's, G35's, 350Z's.....there was something for everybody!

We enjoyed talking with everyone who came by the booth, some who've only had an S-Chassis for a few months, and the "OG" guys who have had an S-Chassis since the last millenium.

We were thrilled to once again be able to donate towards the raffle prizes this year. Lots of cool schwag was donated  by many companies. Exhausts, sway bars, various suspension arms, Hello Kitty horn buttons (you KNOW you wanted one!).  This year we wanted to increase the number of people that got a chance to win a prize, so we donated not one, but TWO of the latest issues of Hyper Rev for the Silvia, a Tomei Duracon Shift Knob, and a GReddy Full Auto Turbo Timer II (Newer Seperate Display Type).  Congratulations to everyone who won! Congratulations also to those who won a trophy in the numerous car show categories!

A big THANK YOU goes toward the organizers of this years event.  We look forward to being a part of next year's show. Enjoy the following pics and if you have any to add feel free to send them to us; we'll post them here and give you credit!  Enjoy.
