Meguiar's MotorEx 2016: Part 2

After Making our way from the Performance Pavilion, MotorEx has a "Real Street BLVD" that basically translates to parking your cars up as a club/group of friends that aren't strictly show spec but are kind of different or appealing to a certain following!

Just keep in mind I was there Saturday afternoon, I think the deal is that you book your car in for 1 day and then the next day a whole new bunch of cars came in, I did see some photos of epic cars here on the Sunday that I was sorry I missed! But still very satisfied with the whole experience none the less!

The start of the line up we have this Bagged Buick Special and it was gorgeous! 

Sunning black example of a 3rd generation Torana, With a modern fire breathing heart of a late commodore is an excellent combination.

The same tried and true combination for this early Kingswood, although with a few extra dress up parts and a whopping big turbo attached.. if it wasn't for the drag wheels it would be full glorified sleeper spec! 

SLAMND is right! 

 Love it! 

Turbos and old Holden's just go together so well! (Along with a bit of flair)

And then there was JDM.. A few very nice Toyota's and Datsun's form the land of the Rising sun! 

Ash's Ta22 Celica caught my eye, Flying the flag for classic Japan with some friends 

The interior in bone/ivory was an interesting touch, along with the Nardi wood grain steering wheel and a dash mat knitted by Ash's wife after she did one for her own Ta22 Celica. 

Powered by a 1.8L 3t-gte engine at the moment awaiting a built 2L.

I'm hoping to catch up with Ash soon to shoot the car properly! 

Something we don't see very often is a 2 door 120y! This one owned by Stuart. The car runs a z18det engine, and Watanabe 16x8 fronts and 16x9 rears, Looks spot on! 

If this isn't diversity, I'm not sure what is! 

I kind of imagine this is like Club FG but with much more mature members 

Cookie Monster! 

So fresh.

The Euro guys got in on the action as well 

A not to over done falcon rolling on steel rims! I imagine this is something that could have been built back in the day, so clean! 

Simmons trend wont die and neither will harlequin paint, not that either of these things are bad! This combination looked pretty good! 

if Long roof customs were your bag this Chev definitely had you covered! I had a chuckle at the road kill bumper sticker... This wagon was as far from roadkill-esque as it gets! 

Next up we head into the MOTORMERCH Pavilion to see some crazy builds unveiled! 

Meguiar's MotorEx 2016: Part 1

MotorEx is one of those really rare events that you get to see full spec show cars with street and race cars at the one venue.

Arriving just after lunch on the Saturday afternoon after a 3 1/2 drive it was nice to be greeted by some exotic race cars, having to walk past the transporters on the way up the hill from the parking lot was a bit of a giveaway of what lay ahead. 

We started out walking though what felt like the shows "Trade" hall, which was a huge mix of different vehicles. The burnout section always has a few interesting tyre smashing weapons on display. Definitely the toughest FJ40, Get over and follow INFERNO on Facebook!   

MADSAM unveiled his new tyre torturer. The 71' Capri with a 408ci Supercharged methanol injected power house! Hopefully it will grace Summernats next year! 

The show was way to much for some! 

One thing I noticed was the amount of kids around the show, not just having been dragged along by their parents but having a real interest in the cars, not all is lost for the next generation yet!  

Further towards the back of the show we saw a big display of euro cars form of Bavarian Motor Works in the SUNUS Motorsports area, Along with a pretty epic R35 as well.. but we will get to that!  

M4 in Orange was very hard to miss next to its mat black M6 brother sitting next to it. 

Really cant argue with curves like those...

What would be the point of taking photos of the SUNUS display without their LB kitted R35 GTR. Saying I was excited to see this was an understatement. 

This thing commanded your attention from every angle.

Like it or not I think the whole "Stance" thing is here to stay, whether it be via bags or coil-overs. I'm happy either way!  

LB Kitted E92... I... don't think it gets much better than this! 

Oh, and a Liberty Walk kitted Mini, just because. 

After I managed to peel myself away from all the Liberty Walk goodness we ran into the centerpiece of the show! The V-Spec performance display. If you like your GTR's this would definitely be heaven. 

The lone Evo was welcome although seemed a little out of place among all the rare Nissan sports cars. 

The sea of GTR continues with a rare M-Spec at the end of the row 

A tastefully modified R35 was a welcome sight after the full on sensory assault of the Liberty Walk cars. (My back would hurt if I had to wear heels all day as well haha)  

With people pouring over this M-spec it took some time and patience to achieve this photo, but for good reason, look at it!

View fullsize

Dry carbon perfection.

Harrop Engineering was very hard to go past. 

A very welcome site in the back of this Lotus, because well, mostly you can! And for those wanting a lot more of of their Lotus investment 

Would definitely be very happy to have this in my drive way. 

There is something to be said about cult cars that look like they get used! Zenki Ware booth had the goods. 

Could have spent so much more time in this pavilion, and I'm sure I didn't get to see everything, but this is just a small slice of the juicy fruit that is MotorEx.

I'll be doing another post for Real Street BLVD and another for the Show Cars so keep you eyes peeled for those posts! Lots more to come!
