JDMyard Honda Show Off 2012


Zi’s DC2R. K20, TE37′s, Voltex, JDM front, fresh paint, it’s amazing. I’d have given this some awards if I could!


Jing’s DC5R, if you look at the reflection you can see our tent :)


Made me instantly miss my old TME.


And this made me realise I still want to own an E36 one day.


The Trophies.


These guys thought there was going to be an award for best dressed… lol.

JDMyard hosted the Honda Show Off 2012 today to celebrated their 10th anniversary. 10 years! That’s a massive feat. If it wasn’t for such passionate Honda enthusiasts like Zi and Yonas JDMST would never have existed, so I owe a lot to these guys.

The weather was hot, but a gentle breeze kept the punters (who came en mass!) cool enough. The boys had a massive store wide sale going on too, it was manic in the showroom. The Honda Show Off Categories included: Best Of Show, Best Engine Bay, Best Interior, Best Paint, Best Oldskool Pre 92, Best Stance, Best Hardparker, Best Engine Swap, Best Effort and Because Race Car and lucky me (or unlucky, depends on how you want to look at it!) got to be a judge on the day.

There were a billion photographers out and about so I’m sure a lot of amazing shots will be uploaded over the next week, for now, enjoy my snappy snaps and feature on Zen Garage: http://zengarage.com.au/2012/12/jdmyard-honda-show-off-2012/

SE Quadangle


Check out the lines. It’s bizzare, love the looptail, love how the top tube connects to the bottom of the head tube.


Fluted seatpost is a nice touch, love the lightning bolt on the saddle too (can never have too many lightning bolts!).


The double down tubes are so cool. Awesome that they made a custom frame pad for it too.


Pop!

Mappen


Sushi Train next door had a massive queue, as usual. But we were there for Mappen! People will catch on, eventually. It’s the best!


Could be a little intimidating at first, but grab a tray, order your meal and go along, adding whatever friend goodies, or side dishes you like. Grab a drink, pay then add your final condiments to your liking. When finished, kindly return your tray :)

Keep It in the Family


Daniel Dittmar is off to Europe to live, what a legend! I wish him all the best, he’s gonna kill it!


As expected, bikes all over Dittmar’s house in Newtown.


All mine, needs a bit of a clean. Missing front brakes, rear rim is a little worn, rear tyre too but apart from that she’s just gorgeous!

I always knew I’d end up with an SE Quadangle one day. Yesterday I saw one rock up in my facebook feed and I knew right away it was Dittmar’s bike. Some dude had first dibs and I had 2nd, 2st dude fell through… sweeet the bike is mine! :)

Funny thing is I had eyes on it from the first time I met Dittmar in 2009 where he interviewed me for his magazine (the bike features in the article too), great thing about running a blog, check out the blog post here.
