ISS 2017: The Kinda Chilly-ing

by Michael Chandler

This past weekend there was either a car show, or the apocalypse.  All depends on how your social media saw the weekend’s storms.  I saw it as a car show, because at 8am (ish) I was in the parking lot of the Maverick Center watching the staff setup this year’s Import Spring Showoff.  Despite the previous day’s weather, a ton of people showed up for the show.  We saw a wide breadth of what the Utah scene has to offer.  There will be some highlights coming later, but in the meantime enjoy this gallery.

Be Bold, B Mini

by Michael Chandler

ISS 2016 CAMautoMag Michael Chandler-160

No, that title doesn’t contain a typo.  There was a Mini sporting a Honda B series engine.  And then some kids said that it was made of plastic, and I wanted to die.  But this sin’t about them.  This is about the tiny car, with the small motor, and an abundance of moxy!

ISS 2016 CAMautoMag Michael Chandler-162

The adorable little motor has four tiny velocity stacks protruding from four individual (probably fun sized!) throttle bodies.

ISS 2016 CAMautoMag Michael Chandler-164

Inside there’s… what is that on the left?  Is that a leg?!?

ISS 2016 CAMautoMag Michael Chandler-163 ISS 2016 CAMautoMag Michael Chandler-161

As you can see, the nose pops off for ease of access to the entirety of pretty much everything ahead of the firewall.  The fore section of the car can be placed at the rear of the car so as to create a nice photo opportunity.  We salute you, whoever you are!  And your diminutive pocket rocket too.

BEHOLD! A Van!

by Michael Chandler

ISS 2016 CAMautoMag Michael Chandler-136

Do you need to be deep in that VIP life, but also need to haul around kids, groceries, and other whatnot?  Well as the fine folks over at VANkulture have shown, vans can be gangster as hell.  And one such gangster van showed up to ISS.

ISS 2016 CAMautoMag Michael Chandler-3 ISS 2016 CAMautoMag Michael Chandler-2

This Honda Odyssey was sporting some Junction Produce neck pads for the driver and passenger, and a Recaro baby seat for… well, I’m assuming a baby.  Hanging from the wide mirror is a Tsuna know, and hanging from the OE rear view mirror is a Fusa knot.  Inside is some serious JDM hotness, but what about the outside?

ISS 2016 CAMautoMag Michael Chandler-1 ISS 2016 CAMautoMag Michael Chandler-137

Mmmm!  A set of WEDS Kranze LXZ wheels set off the exterior.  You don’t have to roll in a Lexus or an Infiniti to be VIP, sometimes you just need a van and a desire to let your inner gangster out.

It Plays: 2JZ FD

by Michael Chandler

ISS 2016 CAMautoMag Michael Chandler-17

ISS brings out almost everything, which is no surprise considering that it’s the biggest meet of the year.  A car we saw last year was Nick Hancock’s 2JZ swapped FD RX-7.  It wasn’t all the way there last year, but he took the year and buttoned it up.

ISS 2016 CAMautoMag Michael Chandler-16

The power plant is the same as it was a year ago: 2JZ with a big single turbo.  No need to mess with that winning combination.  See, we were drawn in by this Toyota motor in the Mazda chassis but Nick wasn’t quite ready for a shoot.  He was getting the car ready for paint, and well..

ISS 2016 CAMautoMag Michael Chandler-20 ISS 2016 CAMautoMag Michael Chandler-21

He didn’t paint it.  Instead, he too the car over to his friends at Utah Vinyl Worx for a matte white wrap.  Gone are the black bumpers and red everything else.  The FD looks amazing in white, and it can pull off a duckbill spoiler.

ISS 2016 CAMautoMag Michael Chandler-22

The interior also got a few touches.  Hopefully we can do a full shoot on this car soon, it’s been a year in the making.

Import Spring Showoff 2016

by Michael Chandler

ISS 2016 CAMautoMag Michael Chandler-10

Another spring, another Import Spring Showoff.  This year the show was massive!  I’m still a little out of it, got there hours before the show opened to slap some stickers on Nik’s Jetta, but I did manage to get the photos edited and uploaded.  Want to see them?  Here you go:

For Those Complaining About Rain

by Michael Chandler

NASA Utah Round 6 Lightning CAMautoMag Michael Chandler 2014 (2 of 5)

There’s  40% of showers later in the day.

NASA Utah Round 6 Thunder CAMautoMag Michael Chandler 2014 (28 of 32)

The show is in four days, the forecast is probably going to change between then and now.  It could get worse, but it could get better too.

NASA Utah Round 2 Saturday-144

And if it rains, so what?  First off, they’re forecasting rain showers.  Showers don’t last all day.  Second, it’s PM showers.  I know the show starts at 1, but there are a lot of hours in the PM part of the day.  Third, it’s not like there aren’t ways to fend off the rain.  Umbrellas have been a thing for nearly 2000 years.  Jackets, coats, hats, pants and closed toe shoes are staples in modern American society.  And if you’re going to be there shooting photos or video, I have some great news for you: there are readily available, and affordable products designed to keep your cameras dry.  Hell, I have a bunch so I’ll bring extras.

Don’t fear the rain!  Embrace it!  Revel in it!  I’ll see you on Sunday!

We’re Going to be at ISS This Weekend!

by Michael Chandler

Jetta Sport Wagen CAMautoMag Michael Chandler 2014 (1 of 10)

Unfortunately Ronda won’t be there, but we’ve locked down a pretty sweet car to represent us: Nik Preusser’s Jetta Sportwagen.  He’s made some changes to it since last we saw it, and from what we’ve seen it’s looking really good.  We can’t wait for the show, and we’re stoked that Nik is going to be representing us this year!
