Event>>nisei Showoff 2010 Pt.2

Now back to more of California's finest as I continue my coverage of Saturday's Nisei Showoff from Little Tokyo in Downtown LA.

All styles of cars could be found at Nisei but as the opening shot shows, it's still the Honda that is on top here.

Of all the Hondas that came out, this CB chassis Accord Wagon another one of me personal favorites of the day.

Check the custom-widened and finished Mugen M7's. It's pretty brilliant really, take one of the coolest Honda-specific wheel designs ever and widen the hell out of it.

Check out Team Supastar's Tacoma laying frame and bringing back the mini truck thing on a whole new level.

I'm really digging the VIP elements thrown in here – namely the gigantic wheels.

Mugen hard-topped AP1 S2000 looking pretty fresh on CCW's.

Immaculate AE86 Levin with a set of TE37V's straight out of JDM land.

And if that wasn't enough, it was packing F20C power under the bonnet. If I owned a car this nice I'd be scared as hell to drive it hard…

Bays on parade. Leave your hoods at the door.

A few years ago it was just the Toyota and Datsun guys that were doing the negative offset old school wheel thing. Now the Honda folks are right there too.

Another stanced out Z33 on gold VS-XX's.

The term "timeless" might be a bit cliche, but really how else how can you describe cars like this E30 M3 on mint BBS RS's?

Anyone care to take a guess and which engine bay this ITB-fed H22A is sitting in?

Try a first generation Honda Odyssey minivan. Insane.

Nice job with the Honda VIP style on this Acura TL, known as the Honda Inspire in Japan.

Anyone else see a little JZX100 Chaser in these lines?

Hondas like this EF Civic have got to be spiritual successor of the Cal Look VW. I'll have to elaborate on this further sometime in the future…

Nice to see some love for this generation of Corolla. Can't helped but get pumped for JCCS next month after seeing this.

Another Accord Wagon on M7's, this one a CE1 model.

This slammed and shaved DC2 Integra is representing the Central Valley city of Stockton. I don't think a Honda can be more "built" than this.

Well, that will do it for part two from Nisei. I'll continue this tomorrow.

Isn't that H22A inside that Odyssey is turned 180 degrees? I want to look more on that Odyssey. Or, maybe we can have a spotlight on that car? Please ! :)

11

Your timing couldn't have been better on the CB Accord wagon, Mike. That's the car I want to do for my next build!

12

oooh nice, i glad there's more coming

13

rims on the black civic in the first picture??

14

Do you have any wheel specs on the 350Z with the Works?

15

How about some shots of those Tomei Evos?!!

16

im confused. why is the h22 in the Honda Odyssey facing intake manifold forward?

17

"A few years ago it was just the Toyota and Datsun guys that were doing the negative offset old school wheel thing. Now the Honda folks are right there too."



Honda guys following trends?? No......never...

18

you forgot to mention that the H22A in the Odyssey has been flipped. :)

19

hey Mike - crx with longchamps xrc....very RARE wheels! very rare!

20

Check out my FB page for more photos from this event!

21

Do you have a 'focused' shot of the car in the foreground of picture #9? The bronze finish looks interesting!

22

that last Toya is so sick. love it the color and styling of that gen.

23

love the cool CRX and the 'Ac' TL...

24

three sets of rebarreled m7's? really? i like the bone stock ex-c's on that ef (ryan's?).

25

I noticed a blue EP3 with jdm side markers and spoon(?) brake calipers in the first picture, more pictures of that or any ep3 would be awesome.

26

Damn flipped H22 head like in late 90's Honda Accord race cars!

27

Does that Honda Odyssey have a manual transmission? I wouldn't mind daily driving one of those if it did. I think a similar new mini van would be the Mazda 5 with a manual transmission.

28

more pics of the e30 m3!!!!!!

29

The bagged Tacoma with VIP elements? As much as I dig the VIP stuff the minis have been stuffing large diameter wheels and sporting negative camber for a long time.



Keep up the great mix of event coverage!

30

for the last time: just having big chrome wheels does not not a VIP make.

31
