I arrived at Chris's house early, we needed to swap over the OEM wheels Simon had kindly lent me for the new Enkei NT03+m's.
Talk about a last minute "Mimms Prep". We had the wheels fitted with 5 minutes to spare before we had to meet the other guys and Peterborough Services for the convoy to Mimms.
Arriving at Mimms, we had our club stand (11 cars) right outside the main entrance, excellent! The weather could of been better, but what can you expect for a show in November?
Dan had just managed to get his car partially finished the night before but had to be trailed to the show as it wasn't running. It was here where he showcased the first K-swapped CR-Z in Europe!! Yup... Dream Automotive had taken all the hybrid stuff out of Dan's ZF1 and put an EP3 Type R engine in it's place.
Showing off a smoothed and tucked engine bay, the battery and washer bottle being relocated to the boot, a flocked dash, hydro-dipped grille, re-trimmed steering wheel and more, it was clear than Dan wasn't fucking about with his build. All we need now is to see it running, fingers crossed it'll be soon.
As always the standard of cars on display at Mimms was at an all time high. One of my favourites was this EP3 sitting on Air with a scalextric track in the boot.
This blue EP really stood out with the near side front quarter panel getting the animal print treatment.
Alternative quarter panels seem to be the way of things at the moment, another great example on this DC5.
Tegiwa turned up with their FK2 Type R sitting on huge Enkei RPF1's, a wheel I think really suits the new Civic.
Keeping with the FK2's, Phil brought his along now sporting a fresh lick of paint on the wheels.
Mimms remains one of the best shows out there, and never fails to fill me with inspiration. What a way to end the season..... BRING ON 2016.
