Driven 2015

The last time Driven took place in Calgary was back in 2013. Since then, it seems like the car scene has changed quite a bit. Compared to 2013 this year was definitely better, especially in terms of quantity and the overall quality of the cars as well.

Usually at an event like this, I don't spend that much time taking photos. For this year I've decided to change all that. I never posted photos from Driven 2013, so I thought I'd make up for it this year.

Anyways, here's my coverage of Driven 2015. Enjoy!


First time I saw Trung's S2000 was at the Show & Shine last August. This time around it's sporting a new color.


Derrick's K-swapped Integra + JDM front. This car definitely sounds just as good as it looks.


If you haven't met me in person, then you probably don't know that I'm a Honda fanboy. Sorry! Can't help it haha.


Jacky's newly acquired iTR.



These pictures definitely don't do this car justice. One of the few cars that you need to see in person to truly appreciate.


Errol's Amuse S2000.


I've seen this car go from stock all the way to this! Definitely excited to see what's next in store.


 This one caught my eye pretty quickly. Regamasters + S2000 = Killer combo.


Clean TSX, both inside and out. Very nice.


Haven't seen Daniel in a long time. Still rocking the RE30s!


 





My second time seeing this in person. Looks gorgeous.


LS power!


Alpha GTR.


Mike's boxer swapped Ghia.


This was my first time seeing the car up close and personal. It definitely deserved the "best swap" win at this year's Driven.




Can't forget about the rotary.


Saw this last week at Grey Eagle's Wild Wednesday meet. Makes me want a Miata even more haha.





Believe it or not, Zach's Volvo has 400,000 km on it and it still looks like it's brand new.


Not sure if anyone else noticed, but if you looked inside you could see anime being played on the monitor. This Chaser has more than enough power to whoop my civic...


The trend is here...


Rims caught my eye at first. Then the engine bay... then that turbo...


... that valve cover though.


One of my favorites of the show. Mugen front, RPFs, and a super charger. The yellow tops it off for me.

 

Kanji's BRZ.




Up until now, I've only seen pictures of this on Instagram, but I'm glad I was able to see it up close in person.


(And this is why I hate wide angle lenses... distortion is not my best friend)


Haven't really seen any other Integras rocking RGIIs, but boy do they look good... Those Wilwood calipers along with the rotors and meaty sidewall make this car look mean. 


Another favorite of mine.


If I were to build an EK, this would be it.










Dat turbo doe.



I wish I had my 50mm to shoot with, but I couldn't help myself.. I had to take this shot. These rims look amazing.

 

Old school, Turbo D16.



Alex's Integra, featured in Honda Tuning last year.


Honda Inspire, J32 supercharged.


Punit's GS.


Jason's FRS. Check him out @ lifewithjson.com


... and that wraps it up! Hope you guys enjoyed the photos. I'll see you guys on the next post.
