heres my photo diary of the trip to northampton for the santa pod jap show. i was on the stand for http://www.funkypower.com based in ayrshire who ordered almost all the mods for me and fitted a lot of them. was a good weekend away and even better to get a couple of days off work! i took the zed and my mate took his teg type r, 1st pitstop was just before the border, i couldnt even make it into england without needing a leak lol

there were 3 other cars on the stand, another type r import- the current civic saloon, and 2 former time attack cars and championship winners in japan- the hks nsx (now funky power's demo car) and the buddy club integra dc5, both have to be seen in the flesh to be appreciated

Nice pics mate...

 

The 3D Vinyls were popular on the celica stand cause thats the guy that owns liquidart!

 

Looks like a good turnout!!

 

he does a lot of work with the celicas as that was his original show car (not that actual one, his is white, but his wife ahs it now) his current is a very nice supra, saw it when i was last up there. very nice.

 

not all his stuff is to my liking, but some of his stuff is absolutley stunning.

 

looks like a good turnout. some cracking pics, and your car looks stunning by the way. :thumbs:

thanks guys, i was surprised at how much attention my zed got with an nsx a few feet away lol. and i had a feeling the guy who did 3d vinyls drove a celica cos they were only on celicas- a bit like u only see dreamcustomz headlights on zeds lol. like u say, not everything looks good but u do have to appreciate them. i think they look good on a heavily modded showcar esp if theyre subtle

cheers guys. ur right ian, the black nsx and r34 are stunning.... and the vinyls arent... lol just hadnt seen them before and since they were so popular thought they were worth a pic. they do look tacky but in a wierd way i gotta admire them also, strange i know lol
