Wek Fest Chicago 2011 Part 2: The Show

Alrighty back with part 2 of the Wek Fest Chicago coverage.  Sorry for the lapse there, dealing with family stuff.  I promised to keep updating regularly and I'm trying hard to hold to that.  This doggy will pull through!

Saturday morning came all too quick for some of us.  While a few got up bright and early, a few of us were not so keen to wake up after a night of partying and consuming adult beverages (read:  hungover).  After Nam and Jared came banging on our hotel rooms at 9am to add to our already head-splitting migraines, we attempted to roll out of bed and get ready.   Once outside, we were greeted by chilly temps and rain...good ol' rain.  Not just a little bit of rain either...we're talking like torrential down pour.  So, not only did we have to deal with downtown Chicago traffic, but the rain made it even worse.  Still, we made it to the convention center without any incidents, even after yours-truly got soaked helping prevent the registration tent from being blown away (why they had the tent outside, I have no idea).  Oh, and also for any that are reading this and attending Wek Fest Dallas (or any indoor show for that matter) please remember the gas rule.  They were checking vehicles.

Okay, enough talk, onto the pictures.  We showed up at the tail end of the roll-in so everything was pretty much setup.  We wiped down our cars quick (a good detail makes a world of difference), and did some last-minute detailing along with applying any necessary stickers before parking up and walking around.

View from the front of the venue looking back.  Pretty solid turnout. 

This FB was sick. 

Harlequin! 

 ProjectX line-up

 Seen It! brought out their crazy k20 swapped Rabbit truck and this dope Ruckus.



 Great fitment!

 Definitely digging the Hondas that came out.  Loved this EM1.  I'll have more Hondas in Part 3

 The i'mSTANCED line-up

 Drew's Mini filled in for Jared's i30 since it was rear-ended the week before  =(

 Andrew's G35 with freshly painted front and sides.

 Nam's tC rocking its new stance.

 My boring LS, haha!  Wanted to do a few things before the show, but it just didn't happen.

 Back to the other cars like this sick-ass Sorcery wide-body NSX.  It's turbo'd too.

 Euros were definitely well represented.

 Junkhouse


 Loved the Weds on this S13.5.

 Junkhouse had a huge section and took home best team representation.

 Good to see this matte orange GTI again.  Saw it a few years back at the Eurowerks show in MN.

 Because...

 Clean FC.  There were a lot of FCs at the show.

 Touge Factory x Rocket Bunny S13...teh sex.

Gonna close it out with a shot of Synth19's NSX from JDM Chicago.  Such a clean example of one of my favorite cars.

I'll have part 3 up tomorrow....promise.

August MN Cars & Cafe

August brought another amazing turn-out with awesome weather and some special cars.  The event is always great to attend rain or shine, and being a stones throw from my house helps too.  Check out the pics!


Friend David just finished up his on-going E36 M3 project.  Fresh paint and a new turbo setup:


Love this Rabbit

i'mSTANCED tC

i'mSTANCED LS400 with a little, fuzzy guy

Pair of 2010 Gallardo Spyders

I love Verde Ithaca.  My favorite color on Lambos

Nero is also a great color...this one is packing something special...

If you don't know this company, then you've been living under a rock.  One of the premier builders in the country.  This Spyder had their R-package;  1,000hp on pump-gas and 1,500hp on c-16

It's Me Alec's super clean e46 on HREs

Imola Motorsports 997 Turbo

Imola-built 911 track-car

Another shot of the UGR TT-Gallardo



Imola 911...loved this car



Imola 997

Friend's Cobalt SS Turbo

Spotted this bagged 'Benz last month, but it wasn't finished.  Had my jaw on the floor



That's all from this month.  Stay tuned for more features from local meets and events.

i'mSTANCED tc and LS400

I met up with fellow i'mSTANCED members Jared and Nam for a little late-night shoot.  Nam's tc is sporting a new set of Varstoens of the 18" variety, and look great tucked up under his arches.  Jared was bustling around with the video camera while I snapped away.









As for the LS, well, not much has changed over the winter...BUT...I did sort a few things.  A little teaser for now.  Look for more after Cars & Cafe this weekend
