Day four was the shortest for me, I regret that I only discovered Toyo Tires awesome treadpass as I was leaving as it may have had the sum total of the coolest metal at the event. Enjoy day four:

Sema day three highlights:
Import Alliance 4-16-2010
Import Alliance Atlanta 4/21/13 v.4: Cool stuff
Bonneville salt flats, v.2: MORE SPEED
Another round of unlikely heroes of the Salt:
Starting this off is the Mitsubishi Evo’s older brother, the Galant VR4.
Opel GT looking ready to attack!
This rarely seen gem is an old Saab 99.
Another Saab, the Sonett.
Even a Studebaker Avanti came out!
Another Studebaker, getting a push. This is typically due to a combination of engine tuning, cooling systems and tall gears.
One of the great things about Bonneville is the sheer variety of vehicles that run. Check out this Subaru Justy!
Can you guess what this is? A Triumph Spitfire in all it’s aerodynamically modified glory.
Edit: Thanks to Bob Smith for the correction, this is actually a Triumph GT6+ which is a bit different than a Spitfire!
Volvo’s can run too. Just ask this awesome Volvo P1800.
New cars are developed every year by manufactures to often prove a point of technology. VW entered a Jetta Hybrid last year, and did pretty well.
The Jetta hybrid’s distant relation, the Kharman Ghia.
Cool wheels that work on everything, v.2.2: BBS LM
GE8 Honda Fit on BBS LM:
Loving the bodywork on this S2K widebody:
Race ready or pavement scraping, BBS LM go well on everything, just check out this slammed Infiniti Q45: This FD3S RX7 has been all over the internet lately, and for good reason: BBS LM’s, slammed stance, clean aero!
Bayside Blue R34 on BBS LM: A match made in heaven.
The ill-loved RWD Porsche 944 works on BBS LM’s too!
Slammed Subaru Legacy making the BBS LM’s work!
The little Suzuki Cappuccino with big BBS LM’s!
Toyota Chaser on BBS LMs:
Volvo 850’s just don’t get enough attention.
This Beetle has all kinds of Porsche mechanicals: engine, trans suspension brakes, etc.
Up on 3’s, v.2:
Chevy Camaro drifting! That’s some stiff suspension!
Ford Escort Cosworth, getting it done on the track:
Ford RS200, not even caring that it’s missing the right rear tire.
GE8 Honda Fit letting some daylight under that back tire:
Drifting W123 Mercedes Wagon? Oh yeah!
The rarely seen Nissan Pulsar, on the autocross course:
Nissan S13.5 doing what it does best: Put on a show!
Drifter counting: 4 cylinders, 3 wheels on the ground, 2 doors, 1 turbo, 0 bumpers.
Aerodynamics can’t keep this Porsche 911 planted.
Another WRC Subaru makes its way into an up on 3’s post:
Only dynamic suspension can get a car up on 3’s on flat ground. This bug shows us how it’s done!
Going against the grain
These guys march to the beat of a different drum:
Ford Faimont Rally cross?
Volvo XC70 desert exploration vehicle?
Lamborghini Gallardo winter beater?
East Coast Fitment Fitment Festival 11/03/12 v.1:
A collection of images from The East Coast Fitment Festival in Concord, NC.
This Pontiac looked slammed in more ways than one.
I love these fender flares, I would definitely use these if I had an E36!
Mustang Mach 1 wheels on this Nissan 300ZX looked good.
This paint was crazy, it had a ton of pearl or flake or something in it.
Not a fan of this paint job, but at least it was well executed.
Why orange grille and wheels? Because racecar.
The fitment this Evo was rocking was pretty impressive. I love these deep dish Work wheels.
JDM front bumper on this Infiniti M series looked good… I liked his flag too.
R32 Skyline wearing a Veilside kit was a treat.
More to come!
