Wekfest San Jose 2026
(Hondas of the north)
Author/Photographer: Kai Her - August 6th, 2026
I should really try to make writing a habit. Lately, my mind has been boggling about how blogging have transformed into another task in my life rather than it be pure enjoyment…and perhaps relaxation.
I mean I get it, writing isn’t much of anyone’s forte in relaxation as it could be easily replace with other things. For me? Catching up on some anime shows, spending time with family, gaming, and dealing with more headaches with my S2000.
First and foremost, thank you again for magically finding your way back to Xplicit Projects. LOL! I appreciate the support in reading or just simply browsing through the content I provide on here. I was contemplating on just demolishing the site and then hang my gloves as I just don’t have time for it anymore. And then I am reminded that although, the traffic on my site has been silent to sounds of crickets chirping, my initial goal of Xplicit Projects was and is to inform. Therefore, I hope I can still carry out that goal with my utmost ability and time. So thanks, if you still feel that Xplicit Projects still has something to offer.
Let’s get into it! So this year at Wekfest has been a trip! For me personally. The week prior to the show, I was able to get the S2000 dialed in with the new wheels (which you will see later in the blog), and cleaning up the S2000 nicely to regain it’s golden glare back. I don’t know if I ever shared this in the older blogs, but last year, I submitted in an application into Wekfest LA. My application was approved and I paid my nonrefundable registration fee to compete in the the show. I was ecstatic! Reason being was because I recently acquired a trailer and was stoked about trailing the S2000 down to LA for the show. Weeks prior to the show, I ran into a paint issues with my Spoon bumper. Long story short, the morning of a Spocom show in San Mateo earlier last year, I ripped off my masking tape from my bumper and from it, it resulted in a peel on my clear coat. Quite bad that I spent the morning before the show running up and down to AutoZone to grab sand paper, touch up paint supplies, and used the limited resources I had to temporarily fix the issue before heading to the show. My hotel to the show was only a ten minute drive. Since I decided to drive the S2000 up and stationed in a hotel up there the night before. Because of the issue, I was late to the show and also the last to arrive. Luckily, Ross saw me approaching the gate when the gates were already closed and he was cool enough to still allow me in.
Wekfest LA was probably a month after this show so I had to get the bumper fixed immediately. When I got back safely from norcal, I decided to address the paint issue myself. I kept running into problems with it that I didn’t really get the bumper fixed until the morning roll in to Wekfest LA. I lived about five hours away from LA so I woke up early and got the S2000 ready. Cut and buffed the bumper as good as I could and then polished it. Since I didn’t have a chance to load up the S2000 the night before, I thought it would be quite easy to tackle later in the morning. My Uhual trailing experience have prepared me for this so it should be cinch. My optimism got the best of me. When I loaded up the S2000 onto the trailer, I was quite reckless to open my driver door and it slammed onto the trailer pretty bad. So bad, that it created a nasty dent onto the door.
I appreciated Kong and Simon encouraging me to still attend the show despite the dent, but I just couldn’t. Especially it being a show as prestigious as Wekfest, I just couldn’t do it. So I unloaded the S2000 back down from the trailer, and in disappointment, drove the S2000 back inside the garage and decided to head up to Sacramento instead with my family for a trip to get my mind off all this car $h!t that keeps happening to me.
I eventually took the S2000 into a body shop and they pretty much reworked on my Spoon bumper, and took the dent out of my driver door. Once the car was all repaired, it was time to just let it sit in the garage and be ready for the shows in 2026. This year prior to Wekfest, I attended JstStance in Fresno, California and then two weeks later, attended Weenie Fest in Dinuba with the NnovatioN brothers. It was finally time to prepare the S2000 for Wekfest again, so I sourced out a new set of wheels and consulted with Kong what to do with the wheels and the picture below will demonstrate what my set up looked like this year.
As careful and diligent as I could be, I cleaned up the S2000, prepared it for the show. The morning of Wekfest San Jose roll in, I loaded up the S2000 carefully onto the trailer. Being more accustomed to it now, I thought, everything was going to be ok. Until it wasn’t. I just don’t understand why this $h!t keeps happening to me. You guessed it. The S2000 suffered some body damage on the way to Wekfest. I was careful in ensuring to load the S2000 properly so my new wheels wouldn’t get nicked by the trailer that I didn’t realize how close my strap were to my side skirts. When my wife and I made a pit stop in Gilroy, I got out of the truck to check on the trailer and S2000. Only to find out the straps have chipped the paint off my side skirts. Quite bad. Not just that, the ratchet strap underneath my splitter was too tight that in result, the pressure on the fender and bumper tab cracked my fender tap and the paint on the driver side. At this point, I was going to just tow the S2000 back home.
However, my wife, being very optimistic, asked me to see if I brought any touch up paint. I always carried some touch up paint with me when going to shows, so I just covered up the damages with the touch up paint I had and arrived to the convention center two hours later than what I have anticipated.
So with that being said, the S2000 will be undergoing some work again before you guys will probably see it at another show. I plan to just repair the damages myself as it doesn’t seem like it’s something I can’t do. I guess I will try to post up progress on my Instagram stories from time to time to provide updates.
Aside from my usual Wekfest hiccups I experience every year, this year, the show at San Jose was a good one. To be honest, I think last year’s show packed a lot more heat than this year. That doesn’t mean that this show wasn’t great.
Like usual, as I tried my best to stray attention from Hondas and focus my attention onto non Honda cars, it was tough. I would try to study the cars, but it was difficult to not know what I was looking at sometimes. I think I was born into the Honda game (LOL), I started with a Honda, studied it, so every time I past a Honda build, it’s more sentimental for me to actually take a picture of it and continue building my knowledge with Honda, its parts, and culture. In result, in this coverage, like many of the my other coverages, you will see that my gallery is pretty much made up of 98% of Hondas.
Thanks for reading my therapeutical vent about the S2000, but now let’s get to it.
We will first begin with this Civic. An OG Wekfest competitor. Most of the car remained unchanged like how I remembered it when I first began attending Wekfest San Jose years ago. The Civic still wore the Air Walker Japan front bumper with the Endless big brake kit. A Cusco roll rage and some red Bride seats. If I’m not mistaken, the spoiler was a Seeker V2. The EK also had a pair of paint matched Spoon mirrors and J’s Racing fenders as well.
The engine bay seemed to remain unchanged as well. A carbon fiber spark plug cover, Cusco catch can, Samco hoses, and J’s Racing valve cover to provide flow with the J’s Racing fenders.
Jon’s EG Civic from Member’s Only. It made its debut last year. The Civic had on some polished/silver RegaMasters. However, this year, he switched it up to some beautiful Sprint Hart CPR’s. One of my all time favorite wheel. The white flowed so well with the color on the Civic. Later, I believe the Civic also took home an award.
Perhaps when I finally finish building my coupe, I could bother Jon to see if he would like to sell me the CPR’s. If I do ever find myself a set, preferably in a 16×8, I would probably keep the wheels forever. The wheels are wrapped around some Nitto Neo Gens and I thought the polished valve stem and red cap complimented the wheel quite well. Attention to little details go a long way!
The Civic relied on various Skunk2 parts for speed and accessories. A valve cover, ultra series intake manifold, and the engine bay have been tucked. A Rywire harness kit was utilized to help clean up the engine bay nicely. The color matching valve cover to the car was a nice touch. The black braided hoses and black intake manifold was very complimentary to the whole display of the engine bay.
I forgot if the owner of this Mode Parfume S2000 was Wesley or if Wesley was his dad’s name. I had the opportunity to chat with the dad awhile back at another show. I was not able to clearly capture any detailed photos of some outstanding DIY modification on this S2000, but if you look closely, you can probably tell the door handles are no longer there. The stock ones have been taken out completely and replaced to custom handles. Like the Tesla’s, the handles sat in flushed with the door, but when it needs to be utilized, the owner will just use it like how the Tesla owners used their door handles. I have never been inside or attempted to open a Tesla door before, but I would assume, you press the handle and then it pops out for you to grab to pull the door open?
Furthermore, the gas door have been eliminated as well. It has been revamped to the top of the quarter panel next to the trunk. A small door have been implemented and like the handle on the door, I would assume you press it and the lid will pop open for the owner. Very unique mods indeed that does not destroy the S2000 in any way.
A supercharger sat next to the F20, and a carbon fiber PracWorks intake manifold have been resprayed and powder coated to match the gold found throughout the engine bay . The S2000 later took “Best S2000” of the Fest later that evening.
I guess it would be good to compare two different types of build with the same chassis at this time. Each chasing their own vision with the build. Wesley definitely sought after a properly executed stance built S2000 with the Mode Parfume kit.
Compared to my S2000, I went with a mixture of JDM parts to acquire flow and execution with a track inspired build.
Not much has been done to the S2000 beside the body work I mentioned earlier prior to the show and the new Te37’s I picked up.
The wheels weren’t in the best condition, but I got them for a good deal. I got them powder coated white and applied some OG black decals on it, rather than the blue ones. I thought it flowed much better. These are 18×10 +40’s. The fitment is aggressive, but I thought it looked amazing with my set up. What do you think?
Aside from the S2000 comparison, a car I have grown to appreciate a lot is Thuy’s car. His Integra is still in tip top shape. Instead of the black Ce28n’s he had put on at the Weenie Fest show a few months back, he swapped them to some silver ones. Which still looked absolutely amazing on his car. I’ve have grown to know Thuy a bit more show after show, and it’s been quite pleasant to meet a guy like him as well as the Members Only crew. Super chill and just good vibes with them. Aside from all the car show competition, like NnovatioN, they’re a group of cool guys just love chilling and messing with car $h!t.
I have always appreciate how well this engine bay looked! The color matched valve cover and the olive green braided hoses complimented the mixture of black and polished parts very well. A engine bay like this just shows you how continuous in evolution Honda builds are still are within the car community.
Another angle show chasing the polished trumpets off the manifold.
Last one for good measure. The Ce28n’s are wrapped with Falken rubber (let’s go!). Behind the wheel was an AP Racing big brake kit.
EG coupes need more love! Just like the Ek’s, you would probably spot multiple EK hatches before you see a coupe. This coupe in particular, was also from the Member’s Only line up and rocking some white MF10L’s. The original MF10 that came with the Mugen decals around the barrel. Always loved the white one white.
Yellow NSX with bronze RegaMaster EVO II’s. The NA1 rocked an unknown front bumper, spoiler and rear roof scoop.
For Wekfest this year, NnovatioN was low in attendance. Out of the dozen cars in the group, only three cars made out to Wekfest this year. Kong reached out to me that Zay (who actually happens to reside in the central valley as well) will be joining our line up this year. I have spoke with Zay via social media a few times, and little did I know, he used to own a red EM1 in which I found a Google a long while back in my college days. When I currently building my EM1 with my late brother, his EM1 was a prime example for me to follow.
Of course he lining up with us was not to make up the low attendance. Instead, we were honored to have him in our line up this year. The red and white combo is his go-to formula as you could see exemplified with the white Racing Hart wheels on his extremely clean red EF.
A red S2000 fashioned with Mugen parts. One of the very few S2000’s who still rocks the Mugen front spoiler. Which is probably my go-to lip if I ever decide to rock a stock bumper again. The S2000 also had the Mugen spoiler perched up in the rear and you can’t see it from this angle, but the owner also had the carbon fiber Mugen snorkel intake inside the engine bay as well.
A OEM hardtop and the Mugen MF10’s finished up the look of this S2K!
Last time I saw John or his NSX was awhile back. He had a son sometime last year and because of that, me nor the NnovatioN guys didn’t get a chance to see him last year at Wekfest. His NSX stood unchanged with the Magnesium Blue Te37’s and the Mugen front spoiler. Aside from Kong’s NSX, John’s NSX was also one of my favorite NSX build in that building that day.
You can see him in the glasses and black cap behind the NSX blurred and smiling for the camera.
Upon editing this photo, I had to brighten up the purple on this EK. From a distance, the EK looked black, but maybe it’s because I am getting color blind. This EK had on a carbon fiber hood, a K series swap resided under the hood, a Mode Parfume front lip and spoiler, and some Magnesium Blue Ce28n’s.
Another red NSX in the building. This one rolled on some Work Emotion CR Kiwami’s. Spoon sport mirrors, and a paint matched duckbill on top of the spoiler. Aside from the NSX, I think this owner just recently picked up an MK4 and is in the work of rebuilding it. Which is project I am currently following on social media.
Silver Integra with an Exceed front lip and Formula Silver Te37’s. The Integra also had on a pair of Mode Parfume side mirrors, ITR optional side skirts, and a ITR spoiler. Behind the Te37’s are a pair of Spoon Sport twin blocks.
A blue EG Civic was a K-swap. A very well polished bay that I was not able to get a photo of. As I was making my rounds around the building to capture more content, it was at this moment was when Wekfest have announced the drivers to meet at the Wekfest booth for the awards. I regret not just taking another minute to study the Civic a bit longer than I have wanted.
A carbon kelvar First Molding lip sat up front with some JDM goodies (clear side markers, thin side moldings).
Steven’s DC took home best Integra this year. The Integra was fashioned with a BYS front bumper, Crows fenders, WEDS wheels, and Mugen skirts (I think). The trunk had on a duckbill in which I’m not so sure and don’t have a name of.
The engine was well dressed with a black and blue theme with micellanous burnt titanium hardware. A fabricated intake arm was connected to a Skunk2 Ultra Series intake manifold. The engine bay have been cleaned up, however, the battery was still left intact.
An EG Civic with some Formula Silver Te37’s. A Mode Parfume front spoiler (I think) with a Racebred front splitter underneath it. The owner took the front end to another notch by adding some canards on the front bumper to keep the front busy with the GT wing in the rear. The Civic had a pair of Mode Parfume side mirrors and paint matched side moldings alongside a vented hood. I believe the hatch belonged to another member from Member’s Only.
Black S2000 with Voltex goodies. A Voltex front bumper to match the Voltex side skirts, and a Voltex wing in the rear. Silver Te37’s and a pair of red Recaro’s to add, and an OEM hardtop.
It was real nice to see another EM1 in the building. Besides Simon’s Milano Red EM1 and the other one from Plus One, you don’t see a lot of EM1 builds in Wekfest San Jose. I met Shawn/Sean at roll in the evening before the show and we had to chance to chit chat a little bit about his build.
The EM1 have been repainted and he stayed close to an OEM build with the exception of a J-Blood front bumper, PCI side skirts and an OEM rear lip. The interior housed a full Cusco roll cage that have been modified to fit an EM1 and a massive upgrade on the engine bay. Black Te37’s to finish off the look on this clean EM1.
The B16a2 have been swapped out into a K-series with ITB’s. Miscellaneous K-Tuned parts seen throughout the engine bay and a racing radiator tucked under the radiator support.
A black EK with many Spoon Sport parts. The theme traveled from the engine bay to inside the interior, and various parts you can clearly see on the Civic (wheels, BBK, racing stripes). With the exception of a carbon fiber First Molding front lip since I don’t recall Spoon Sports making a front spoiler for the EK (99/00) chassis. My sources tell me that this Civic is Spoon certified from GoTuning/Spoon Sport USA.
Justin’s S2000 was the first S2000 I spotted during roll in. The build is quite similar to mine. The Spoon front end, to the side mirrors, and then a Voltex GT wing in the rear. Many Renegade Motorsport parts are found throughout the car and Justin is sitting on some 18×9.5 bronze Te37’s.
Aside from his amazing S2000, he is a super cool guy. We had the chance to talk for a good minute about his car and build in which I found intriguing.
I personally think an FK8 looks best when it’s simply just equiped with the Mugen front spoiler, skirts, and rear lip. This owner had the whole catalog on his car (almost). Mugen side mirrors, Mugen rear spoiler and some Mugen MF10’s that have been polished. Good choice with the blue center caps. I wonder how the car would have flowed if it had on the black center caps instead. The blue center cap and the red calipers kind of goes against each other, in my opinion. Overall, it’s a clean build and how I would imagined my FK8 to look like, if I ever own one.
Wesley’s C-West Ek4 in a silver finish. Bronze Te37’s with some combination of Spoon sport products.
NSX from team Garage Life. This line up came from Socal (I think), and they’re always packing a lot of heat. This NSX had a Sorcery wide body kit I have been wrapped in this new green pearl color. The NSX sat on some Rays Ze40’s in a bronze finish. The Craft Square carbon fiber mirrors flowed well with the carbon fiber Seibon hood and the spoiler in the back.
Later in the evening, the car was announced for best “NSX of the fest.”
@garagekreations (Danny?) RSX is always a joy to see. A very clean RSX, probably one of the best in California (in my opinion). Stating that this RSX is clean is an understatement. It’s immaculate! The bronze Ce28n’s looked perfect with the aero kit surrounding the chassis. A pair of widen J’s Racing fenders to link up to the Mugen front bumper while also accompanied by a Mugen Spoiler in the rear. Spoon Sport mirrors were utilized to execute flow and matched up very well to the J’s Racing side skirts. I believe the rear bumper had on a kit as well, but I forgot if it was a J’s Racing kit…or perhaps Mugen?
The engine bay have been cleaned up very well. Everything have been polished to the tee, and I mean everything. The turbo charger, the manifold, even the valve cover have been polished. Chasing J’s burnt titanium hardware made its way to accompany the engine bay. It’s flawless! A great amount of time was dealt to achieve an engine bay with this type of presentation. A job well done!
Another great example of a build, also from team Garage Life was Jonathan’s Varis wide body S2000! He underwent a dramatic change with the S2000 after last year’s Wekfest attendance. I recall he posted some parts up for sale and was hinting people the S2000 will be undergoing changes for preparation to attend SEMA last year.
I believe his S2000 is the first and only one with the Varis Kit in the US after Varis debuted the kit earlier last year in Toyko Auto Salon. The S2000 is now wrapped in this bright yet subtle champagne color which revealed the body lines of the kit very well.
This EK was tucked away across the other side of the building. The Civic belonged to Daniel. A very clean example of a Civic EK build. The Civic wore an EXCEED version 2 front spoiler. Color matched Mode Parfume side mirrors with various CTR parts around the chassis. The suspension have been upgraded to a five lug and the choice of wheels were a set of Formula Silver Te37’s wrapped around Falken rubber. It definitely took me by surprised when I saw the EK and thought it was bit odd to see it parked further away from the rest of the other Honda’s in the building.
A long time competitor and regular attendee at the Wekfest shows is Chris and his EG Civic. The Te37’s from the last show have been swapped to a new set of wheels: Racing Hart CP-035’s. Everyone is used to running Regamasters, Ce28n’s, or Te37’s, so it’s cool to see the Racing Hart’s, SSR’s, and Advan RG1’s making a comeback.
The engine bay was how I remembered it from the last shows Chris and I attended. A carbon fiber PracWorks intake manifold and the supercharger we were used to seeing have been swapped out into a turbo. Polished parts kept the engine bay lively. Black doesn’t have a complimentary color, but if it did, I think silver compliments it very well.
As soon as I saw Mee’s car on the trailer upon meeting up with him in Los Banos, I knew he poured in a lot of money to the Civic this year. The Spoon sport front spoiler have finally found it’s way back to the car to accompany a lot of the new Spoon Sport parts Mee have acquired prior to the show. A carbon fiber Spoon sport hood alongside with the Spoon sport side mirror (that took him a long while to attain). Revealing a new set of wheels from his collection, was a set of Spoon SW388’s. The carbon fiber pieces just doesn’t stop there though. I forgot to mention that the OEM skirts have also been swapped out and in replacement were a pair of carbon fiber Mode Parfume side skirts.
Mee just didn’t inject himself with Spoon blood, but he also made sure his Civic had the same injection. Aside from the various Spoon parts hugging the chassis, inside the engine bay, the theme kept on.
The valve cover have been replaced to a Spoon inspired cover with the cam gear cut outs. Not pictured here, but Mee was running some TODA Power cam gears. The old header have been swapped to a Spoon Sport header. A Skunk2 manifold for air necessities and radiator for cooling efficiency. One of the biggest change was an added catch can bolted onto the right side of the strut tower and if you look closely, the AC unit and power steering assembly have been detached to offer a cleaner look inside the engine bay. A bold move for Mee, because I have always knew Mee to be a very OEM plus kind of guy.
So, Kong told me since the beginning of this year that he wasn’t going to attend Wekfest SJ. He said work was in the way and his wife had ultimately made the decision for him that he should sit out this year. Well, that was lie. LOL! I kept convincing him to attend whenever we talked about Wekfest. His reasons were always the same or that the NSX was undergoing some changes and that he had big plans for the Civic. Therefore, I thought the only cars that would attend Wekfest at this point was just my S2000 and Mee’s Civic. Tou was suppose to bring out this new project as well, but unfortunately, due to unforeseen events, he couldn’t get the car ready in time.
Anyway, when I met up with Mee and Tou in Los Banos, I saw that Kong was also already there and the NSX was on his trailer. I quickly identified that the Advance front spoiler have been removed completely with the OEM front bumper and the I’s Impact bumper made it’s way back to the the front of the NSX. Kong kept the sides unchanged, but a big change up this year, to execute flow was to get rid of the BYS duckbill or Taitec GT wing he is used to running.
This year, something a lot different was perched on top of the NSX’s trunk.
My knowledge with NSX’s and their aftermarket parts are not too literal, so when I first saw the wing, I assumed it was a Mugen spoiler. Little did I know, it wasn’t. If I could recall correctly, the wing was specifically off from another chassis that is entirely not made for the NSX chassis. However, custom mounts were fabricated to mount the wing up just right. Kong even took it a step further and put in his own handy body work on the wing. I believe the wing have been modified a bit larger as it flared out towards the back and elongated in length to hover up the top of the quarter panel just a tad more. However, the custom work doesn’t end there. Although it wasn’t pictured in his photo, another piece, fabricated by Kong himself have been added underneath the wing as well. I guess, it’s kind of like a duckbill. Three oval cut outs were put on the back of the duckbill to add more depth and detail to the rear.
Another change that caught me by surprise was Kong’s newly acquired Advan RG1’s that he secretly tucked away in his garage. You may wonder the name of the color he powder coat the wheels to. Like many of the people that asked for the color name, it was one of the first few questions I asked Kong too when I saw the wheels. So let me try my best to remember what he said. The color is not a made up color, I believe. However, Kong did say the color was a champagne gold or something of that sort and that came off the Porsches. You have to see the wheels in person. It’s a very nice satin color that just goes so hard on his NSX. The black strip on the RG1’s made a huge difference to the overall look of the wheel too. It complimented the color of the wheel very well.
Kong and I go a long way. I know he studies and deeply concentrates into ensuring his visions always comes to fruition. He definitely demonstrated that ambition at Wekfest this year.
Last but not least, Wekfest have recently added a new category to the awards and it’s called the “Best of the West” award. In other words, It’s a Wekfest and Joey Lee (The Chronicles) collab award. I’m not too sure how one would get that award, but I am almost certain, the judge for this award would be Joey himself. With his plethora of knowledge in Honda’s and the JDM realm it would only make sense that he gets to have to final say who will get the award. No complaints there. He’s a very knowledgeable and well respected guy around the states and probably even in other countries. He’s been in this for a long time. Which makes me wonder, how old is the guy?
Frank’s Integra Type R (DC2R) in front of the S3 Suspension booth. Equipped with Mugen areo from the front end of the vehicle toward the rear bumper. Spoon SW388’s were the wheel of choice which flowed very well. Black on black looked as good as white on white. If you didn’t notice, and probably would have missed it, one of the most iconic Mugen piece on Frank’s car besides the insanely expensive front spoiler is the Mugen/Honda Access head light chrome inserts/covers.
The polished valve cover and brushed spark plug cover was a very nice touch to compliment everything else in the engine bay. Almost everything inside the engine bay was a neutral coolor and the only vibrant pieces in the engine bay to give some color were the AN fittings.
With an engine bay so flawless, it would only make sense to run it with ITB’s. Polished trumpets to acquire consistent flow throughout the engine bay. Heck, even the AN lines were silver, just to show the flow and detail of very well chosen colors and parts.
A new Civic that debuted last year was Andy Mai’s VSM EK. It debuted last year with some Mugen M7’s. I recall writing a little bit about it expressing my thoughts about how I adore Mf10’s over M7’s easily. I don’t know why, but I loved Andy’s set up from last year so much more than the MF10’s this year.
I completely understand that he wanted to change the set up, just like how I try to with the S2000 yearly. Not to say this set up wasn’t worthy; people have preferences and I immensely enjoyed the prior set up to this one just a bit more.
The alterations I quickly identified when I saw the EK was the exchange of wheels. Now on some bronze MF10’s and the new red center cap Mugen recently produced. To continue the bits of red, the valve cover have also been replaced with a wrinkle red valve cover. The Bride/BattleCraft seats have also been swapped out to some Red Recaro Pole Positions.
This EK belonged to one of the members from ATS Garage. I followed up on the build through social media to know that the EK have undergone some changes as well.
Before, it had on a set of Te37’s. Now those have been switched over to some Ce28n’s. Spoon monoblocks are still paired in front.
This set up goes so hard! The black Ce28n’s with the Spoon monoblocks is such a timeless look.
Next to the EK was ATS Garage’s Integra. The vehicle wore a ITR front spoiler, bronze Mf10’s, an ITR spoiler on top of the trunk, and a pair MRacing carbon fiber side mirror that have been paint matched (I think).
Inside the engine bay was a Spoon valve cover with a carbon fiber spark plug cover. The Cusco carbon fiber strut bar matched up with the carbon fiber intake manifold box.
A Honda I really wanted to see this year was Joey’s EK9 that he imported from Japan. It sucked so much that I didn’t get a chance to see it with the Minata themed EK from last year at Wekfest LA.
Love everything about the car.
Let’s first start with the OG bronze Te37’s wrapped around some Yokohama AO50 rubber. The EXCEED big brake kit is the first I have seen in the US. Actually, I didn’t even know EXCEED had a big brake kit.
Bride Low Max seats with a cage behind them and the interior have been gutted almost entirely. Willian’s Racing seat belts pieced together nicely with the bucket seats.
The engine bay have also been cleaned up and respray. A very nice a simple set up and a tuck harness kit add! Something I regret not buying was one of Joey’s limited edition B Series spark plug cover. Should have gone with my instinct.
The lingering question I have about this EK9 is if it was the same EK9 that got into that accident in Japan?
Well, I think this pretty much sums up the coverage for Wekfest San Jose. It’s always a good moment to travel up north and enjoy a show like this. I attend it annually that it kind of just feels like…home sometimes. Before I close off the coverage, I would like to thank my wife and my kids for coming out with me to participate in the show. That has to be the best thing about the show. Sharing the things I love with my family. The trips are becoming easier and much more sentimental when loved ones are by your side.
The next big show I hope to attend would probably be Wekfest LA. But we will see how all that works out. Instead of a two hour drive up north, now it will double that. So, time will tell and we will see what the outcome would be. Thank you to all my viewers and readers! Don’t forget to drop by my merch page and grab an Xplicit Projects heavy tee. I am running another small batch so put your order in!
