Life: Petersen Museum Japanese Cruise-In & Super Street Meet 2018 Part 2

We’re back with part II of of my Petersen Museum X Super Street Meet coverage! Please see here for my prior coverage.

DA Integra with Speed Star Racing by SSR EX-C aero covers…. try finding these nowadays. I would hate to lose a center cap.

Dat JDM parking sensor.

A GTR with a bunch of overtake parts on it. For those who don’t know Overtake is an in house brand by bulletproof automotive, some of their parts are made by companies such as Power House Amuse, makes sense since they are the official US Powerhouse Amuse distributor.

R33 GTR owned by Kinganytime of Hoonigan fame? Not sure if he’s a part of them anymore.

Red Cressida also featured on Hoonigan

Evo IX from DTM autobody rocking the full Voltex kit.

Love when other makes rock ASM parts. This is very common in Japan since ASM is the Recaro dealer and outfits many of their seats into cars, i.e Porsche 911.

DanOften’s Ap1 with voltex bumper, spoon hood, and craftsquare mirrors.

Pretty serious seat setup. Hopefully this car actually sees track time.

First gen civic with a Honda motorcycle engine.

Not sure what motorcycle this is from, I’m sure I would of found out if I read the paper above…

The wheels look like Watanabes, could be wrong…..

CHP rollin by making sure everyone is staying CARB legal.

Super Clean Civic VTi. The EG Civic VTi is kinda of like the SIR model but for the UK market, it comes with a B16a. It doesn’t have the white SIR cluster, but does have red gauge needles, and a tach that goes to 8k and reads in miles. No idea why I didn’t take more pictures but I thought it was pretty cool… Makes sense to import cars from the UK since cars are being exported from Japan at an alarming rate.

My friend Alvin was drooling over this AW11 MR2.

We decided to go downstairs into the Petersen museum since the meet was pretty small…. Out in the parking area they had this E30 M3 on display.

Inside the Petsersen Museum, out front and center, they had this Porsche 911 993 GT1 Race car on display.

Forshadowing the Porsche exhibit in the museum.

Amazing rear end, the exhaust setup looks insane.

I really like the overall shape of this car, it is very elegant.

They also had Iconic vintage Japanese sports cars out front as part of their Japanese car exhibit. Super Rad Honda S800, grandfather to the almighty S2000.

A Subaru 360… kinda like a jdm volkswagen beetle knock off. To the left of the Subaru is a Toyota Sports 800, which also rocks a boxer engine. You could say this is the grandfather to the current GT86.

Finally some more S2k content, and a very historic one in fact. Most people remember Suki’s VeilSide S2000 from 2 Fast 2 Furious…. Did you know she is Steve Aoki’s sister? And their father is the founder of benihana….. now you knowwwwww. I can’t remember the last time anyone mentioned ROJA wheels… throwback.

Interior is pretty standard, mostly reupholstered and the addition of gauges in the center.

The Time Machine Delorean from Back to The Future.

One of a kind Toyota 2000GT Convertible custom made for Sean Connery in the film You Only Live Twice because he was too tall….

I saw a few of these at the old Toyota Museum, which is long gone now.

Mazda FD RX7 prototype.

Mclaren 720S entirely made out of Legos.

Jaguar XJ220

Kenmeri Skyline

Famous Super Street ex-editor JDMWong’s EF Civic painted Suzuka Blue with a Rocket Bunny Kit…. funny how those two are not things I like in my book, but work soooo good here.

SSR SuperFins.

Close up shot of the superfins.

Incredibly rare Mugen Exhaust for the EF.

Dragcartel K series engine up on display.

With a mean looking header.

A Titan Motorsports Supra. Titan motorsports is a shop famously known for tuning Supras.

Classic and new Ford GT.

Period looking Nissan Race car. Reminds me of speed racer.

Amazing how minimalistic this car is.

Period correct zip ties holding everything together.

Mazda Cosmos.

Another Toyota 2000gt, this one more original.

Afterwards we went downstairs to check out the Porsche exhibit…. I don’t know my Porsches too well, so excuse my lack of knowledge. This looks like a Porsche 911 930.

Yep, the 930 is a turbo…

I haven’t seen too many of these Porsche Carrera GTs in person up close. This front bumper is where ASM found the inspiration for their bumper design. You can see it right?

ASM may of found inspiration from the fenders too.

To my surprise, the interior looks very dated for a car of this prestige, typical early 2000s look…. You can’t see it, but something on the door card was coming apart on the passenger side.
