Got back home from working in America earlier this week and amongst the things I did I managed to blag my way into SEMA show.
I'll leave you with the photos as that's what you'll be interested in...

Start with a Seibon styled new Skyline - fitted with lots of matt carbon items. They had 5 cars on their stand, all high quality and carbon all over.




Prius Hybrid and CR-Z


370Z




This skyline had about 30miles on the clock




Vinyl wrapping - many examples throughout the show..as you will see











Check the bonnet - lush












Air suspension - check the tyre bulges in the wings and bonnet






Two door Evo






Full carbon front end


Pair of race BMW's


More vinyl




Full replica inc inside

Moving inside to the trade areas...

Bit mental, and running 26" wheels !


Twin engined monster


Matt black Lexus. The 'eye' of the wing mirror is a small rear facing camera










2 litre Toyota engine, as fitted to the Celica and MR2 - now in an old model Starlet




More vinyl wrapping - on a Veyron !!










Drift cars


One with very retro dash


Time Attack carbon Evo - fitted with an engine you'll all recognise






Seibon Race GT-R






Ken Block Fiesta from Gymkhana 3 videos

I think these CR-Z's are going to be popular


























Ken Block Fiesta he was doing drifting & skill displays with




Very lovely GTR with splashes of carbon






Shelby GT500












Top Gear USA turned up - this Merc, the Monaro in the background, a 911, a Lambo and Ferrari - all in yellow, all giving taxi rides

Awesome pics, there looks to have been a really diverse range of stuff there. Would love to go. I was intrigued by this though, you commented as though it was something unusual.....

It's an Evo with an Evo engine??

Yes, at the convention centre.


Is it? I thought they'd turned a Cos engine through 90.
And now I've just looked and it's just like this one
http://allworldcars.com/wordpress/wp...r_fq-340_3.jpg
Any idea what the Cosworth bit is about - is it just some internals manufactured by them?


I didn't go to that...

Christian and Beccy

Cosworth have their fingers in all kinds of pies. Cosworth as we know it is a thing of the dim and distant past. They make Evo bits (nothing that exciting really, we don't use them). There is lots of other stuff they are involved in too.

But, yes, it's a 4G63 Evo engine and despite the car being utterly bonkers, the engine looks pretty ordinary. Unlike some of the stuff in your pics, looked like a great experience overall and I am highly jealous.

Good trip then!

How did you find it out of interest?

I did it in Australia and found it a little over-rated if I'm totally honest

Cheers, I'm pleased members are enjoying the pics. It's one of those shows that all car enthusiasts know about and would love to attend. I probably wouldn't have the opportunity again so when I realised it was on I knew I had to try to get in Well worth it, some amazing cars.

Mark Shead

They wanted all my company details then waited a week to be aproved If you dont have a company then you should be able to find a friend with one and get tickets.

Mark Shead

The show was worth going to and being in Vegas helped Looking to book for next year
I will post my Skydive Vid on here soon and it was nearly 30seconds free fall, I cant see how it could be over rated unless you have balls of steel.

some stunning cars there and great pics

MrCapriScort

Mint pics, some awesome cars, i am not into jap cars, but this Honda looks well sweet

Cheers. I think the CR-Z's will be big in the modified car world...but Ł17-20k is more toward the higher end buyers and company show cars than the saxo brigade.

I cant see the pics?????

^ They'll be back soon - only on a free account and the bandwidth limit got reached pretty quick so they don't show until the month is reset.
On the plus side it shows that they were (hopefully) worth looking at.
