Formula Drift Tech Day & Source Interlink Meet Photos
 

This is the second year in a row that Source Interlink (Import Tuner, Super Street, etc) & Formula Drift have teamed up for a tech day and meet.

Last year I was unable to attend and the weather was really bad so there was a low turnout. This year I was able to attend and the Source Interlink team promoted it nearly a month in advance so there was a massive turnout.

Side note - this meet was actually held in my work parking lot so I had access to roof shots that no one else was able to capture (Exclusive!!)

It was a pretty large meet

This was still early in the morning, the parking lot would completely fill before noon

This is my buddy BJ's (aka Inzpire) M3, he was once a Z owner and moved on and I really like his setup

Red on red and legit BBS's, I really liked it and I'm surprised it took me so long to finally get a chance to shoot it

Yes I know this is a stock BRZ, but this is also another friend of mine Calin. After driving a Fiat 500 for awhile he switched over to the BRZ

First time I had seen this particular BRZ, but it looked great on a set of gold Advans

This was a really nice setup on this Evo, pretty sure it was the Voltex setup and it looked menacing

This RHD EG was really rocking the current USDM trend, not my style but I can respect it

White on bronze is always a nice combo and this R35 pulled it off

Aggressive set of Takata green TE-37SL's on a nice S2k, nice setup!

I really liked the setup on this FR-S, I don't think there is a car that doesn't look good on TE-37 SL's

My buddy Alf and his previously black G35 now sporting a new color change all together!

Alf is very meticulous in his build and went out of his way to polish or paint whatever he could to push the car over the edge. It was a great overall execution

Lurking in the corner was Jon Sibal's Challenger on SSR's

This was the first time I had seen this car in person and as a fan of Jon's work I really liked it

What a nice setup of SSR SP1's, so clean!

This is a massive car but Jon did a good job of keeping it sporty

Last but not least is my good friend Aariyan's Z on a brand new set of TE37-SL's in High Metal Bronze

Perfect and functional stance

Notice that these are not the silver-finish that you normally see on the SL's, these are actually more of a copper-finish in person, pretty cool
