This past Sunday I got to do two things I have never done before. Check out local custom car shop Droptec, and cover/attend a car show while it was snowing.
While I don’t really want to cover show another again while it’s snowing I wouldn’t mind attending another Droptec shindig.
The vibe at the event was incredibly positive (even with the -3 weather) and you could really tell the entire operation is a family, and close friend operated affair.
The weather meant a few people and cars came and went, but for the most part the show consisted of a very dedicated group of Droptec supporters who toughed it out for the entirety of the event.
Many, like myself stayed inside and shot the breeze in the shop near the awesome home cooked food which made the atmosphere really reminiscent of a family cook out, and makes me look forward to more BBQ based events in the summer.
Random Stuff

Mazda
Steven's car is on Droptec modified suspension and seriously dumpedVery few other 3s, if any, tuck RX-8s this hardQuick comparisonThis car surprised me, can not recall ever seeing it beforeI don't know the specs on these XXRs but someone mentioned 0 offset and I would guess 8 widthJDM front bumper is a unique touchLooks like the fenders got a fair deal of massaging
BMW
The owner of this BMW was a female and she took home some hardwareShe is part of the Lick Your Lips teamFlush teammatesGo wideI'll throw the link to this cars build in the comments, worth checking out
Lexus
A new addition to the Toronto VIP family?Got to talk to the owner of the IS300 in the foreground for awhile, nice guyA lot of body pieces recently came out of the shop for this projectAll came together very wellAnother nice IS300 rocking the Nextmod bannerSic had a Mighty Dwarf speaker on him at the show, look it up they are crazy. Of course this has nothing to do with his car.He got his tire situation sorted out and it's now all good, bead no longer pops off
Honda
Sportmaxxed hatchIf I remember right this car is on air, or at least some sort of dynamic suspensionThis boosted EL gets around too
Nissan/Infiniti
If this is who I think it is his last car had purple and wood grain as well...R35 bumper on a G35This car has changed a lot since I last saw it drifting at CSCSMost people don't paint their Brembros to match their wheels but this guy isn't most peopleSam's new setup is already picking him up awardsLater in the day he had giant puddles in the lips of his wheels, worth it though picked up best stance
Big thanks to Neal, his wife, and the entire staff for inviting me out to the show and showing me some of that Trini hospitality.
the slammed protege is my good friend Ejaz he is on droptec custom setup done by neal obviously. matt’s matrix i saw earlier in the week heading up dixie road at bovaird. maybe he spotted me in a lowered escort wagon with white front bumper turning left onto bovaird. wish i coulda made it out to the show. wanted to meet the man behind this incredible site. but i was putting a motor into a buddies car so he can get himself to work and his son to daycare. maybe the next droptec show i’ll come out and go for lowest in class.
thinking about puttin my car on air ride and cutting the inner fenders(engine bay side) out so i can lay frame. i hope i get out to a few shows this year because personally i think i’d be a good contender for lowest ride
