NFS SoCal Meet

Posted on by

The Need For Speed SoCal meet held at the Source Interlink Media offices in El Segundo, CA was a quality event. There were nice cars, free raffles, delicious taco plates and plenty of game stations to try out NFS Shift2 Unleashed.

Source Interlink opened up their garage and photo studio area for the public. They had some awesome cars parked throughout the building including Rado’s Time Attack tC, Evasive Motorsports EVO 9,  Twin Turbo built Viper, JR’s NFS Mustang and a bunch of other projects.

Source Interlink’s Garage area which has multiple car and motorcycle lifts, Snap-On tools and full bar. Yes, a full bar with LCD screens, and lounge area.

Evasive Motorsport EVO 9 Time Attack car parked near the photo studio. NFS Shift 2 gaming consoles were placed throughout the building for people to try.

EA ran a contest for the fastest driver on the DBox setup. Winner got a Logitech prize pack.

In the morning the sky was gloomy but it cleared up later in the day. There was a wide variety of quality cars on display.

Loi from SportCar Motion brought up their monster DC2. Going to Arizona later this week for Modified Tuner Shootout.

Two more Evasive cars. Mike’s Civic Si with Type R conversion and Ken’s Voltex kited S2000.

Big Thanks to EA and Source Interlink Media for throwing the event. Check out Speedhunters.com for more coverage.

Preparing for GRCC Rd.1

Stephan Verdier is putting the finishing touches on his STi for RallyCross competition. Stephan and his crew have been hard at work preparing his car and it is looking GOOD.

We loaned Stephan a set of our Gr.N dampers which have been proven in Rally competition.

To see more of Stephan’s car visit MotoIQ which has a great writeup by Mike Kojima. Click HERE

Preparing for NFS SoCal Meet

On the other end of the spectrum I am preparing my EVO 9 for display at NFS SoCal meet. My car is in no way a show car but I do like the occasional meet with the relaxed atmosphere. Plus the Source Interlink offices are pimp, fully loaded garage with full bar. If you did not know Source Interlink is the publisher for Super Street, Import Tuner, Modified, Euro Tuner and a bunch of other automotive related magazines.

I have not started my car in over 3 months so a little work needed to be done. Oiled the valvetrain/ head, replaced the spark plugs, had my RC injectors tested and cleaned and installed a C-West hood.

Updated pics of the car coming soon.

Check back here next week for some event coverage.
