Time to wrap up the coverage to Hellaflush Japan now with a few more images from what turned out to be one of the best events I have attended this year.

Out of the few vans that turned up, this previous generation Nissan Elgrand was the one that impressed the most, with a very cool white on black theme and ever so slight rear fender blistering.

Any generation of the Roadster looks spot on when slammed on cool rims, like this NA on Watanabes.

Rocky Auto displayed one of its most amazing cars to date at the Rays stand, the almost full carbon bodied S30…

…which is powered by a mighty RB30 with RB26 head running Solex 50 mm carburetors for a more than acceptable 300 HP.

This is one of the best 510s in Japan, a car I have seen countless times picking up awards at Mooneyes shows. I think the owner must have an impressive wheel collection as every time I see it, it's running on different rims!

A Honda Element on CE28Ns? Never thought I'd see such an interesting combination but it strangely worked.

How low can you go?

Mikey's crazy FD is a car we have seen before at 7's Day meetings. It never fails to impress me just how much of a great basis the FD is for complete aesthetic conversions like this particular one running Nissan Fuga headlights.

I was blown away by the quality of work that had gone into creating this Golf R32. On top of the subtle body work, not so subtle color…

…the interior reminded me of a concept car. Must be hard to keep all that white nice and clean!

I ran across Takasu-san of Work wheels and JC of Autoworks magazine chatting about all the cool cars they had seen that day. I think most people had the same opinion of the show, it was unlike anything they had ever seen in Japan and hopefully the start of something bigger.

Want to make your family wagon stand out a little?  

If the pink exterior isn't going to do it, the stripped out interior will. Love the seat backs, very original.

Slammed Toyota Corona perfection.

AME had a nice selection of wheels.

This show was all about the cars but there are always some show girls lurking around.

The RX8 has to be one of the best cars to lower on a nice set of wheels like these Enkei NT03s, its factory blistered fenders requiring almost no work to accept aggressive offsets.

Much like this E36…keeping it simple.

Star Road had another nice vintage ride running on Equip 03s, this Hakosuka GT-R replica.

I never thought I'd see a Nissan Tiida looking this good! 

Simply beautiful.

The Best of Show award went to this pumpkin Golf…

…the owner ecstatic after receiving his prize, a Rays forged-magnesium Formula 1 wheel.

That's it from this first Hellaflush Japan show. Like everyone out there I hope this was the first of many such gatherings. Congrats to all involved.
