GreddyFEST 2010 went down this past Sunday at Greddy's newest facility in Irvine, CA and here are a few of the pics I took.

10 car clubs were invited to have reserved parking and the 8club was honored to accept Greddy's invite to show our cars alongside other clubs such as the Supras, GT-R's, Evo's, 350 / 370z's and many more.

The Scion DJ car. If you guys can focus for JUST ONE second, you'll notice that there's actually a car in this picture and that it transforms into a full DJ booth. The sides of the car swivel down to reveal speakers and the back end is a platform with mixing tables, etc

I give you one of the World's FASTEST quarter mile GT-R's.
This beast was built by www.sp-power.com here in SoCal and runs the 1/4 in 9.8 seconds. SP had a 2nd GT-R at the show that runs the 1/4 in 9.6.

Great looking GT-R but this guy hasn't quite gotten used to driving a lowered car.

Anyone have any idea WTF that roof vent is for? we all took guesses as to it's possible function and the best I could come up with was that it was in case he found himself in a war zone, he could pop the hatch open and hurl grenades at the Taliban. :dunno:

I hope everyone enjoyed the pictures, I really wish I would have taken more pics as there were a LOT more cars there. Maybe next year I'll stop forgetting that I had a camera in my back pocket.


Also, I wanted to give a HUGE Thank You to Greddy NA for the gracious invite to the show and for all the effort that went into planning this event. It was fun to see a bunch of other car clubs there and to get a chance to mingle with some of the folks at Greddy.
Their new facility is amazing and it looks like they've got some huge plans for it in the future such as hosting monthly car meets, opening up their new dyno to the public, etc.
The Management Team also was kind enough to schedule a time to meet with each car club individually to discuss our vehicles, what they could do to improve on their current offerings, what mods WE wanted to see them develop, and what plans they had for our cars in the future.


I'm looking forward to continued support from Greddy and to next year's GreddyFEST.

The Reverend 09-07-2010 02:46 PM

so my phone was mostly used for the scavenger hunt (which we failed miserably at) but here are a few semi usable pics

was sure to get these for Atilla

fav car at the show was an NSX that was hidden off to the side...but I did not have the camera then and by about noon I was so hopped up on energy drinks that I did not want to walk around

pdxhak 09-07-2010 03:10 PM

LOL @ driftkng :lol2 Both the Z and S need new wheels for their kits.

Jedi54 09-07-2010 03:18 PM

xun4gvn4everx 09-07-2010 03:31 PM

Atilla 09-07-2010 03:32 PM

Rotr8 09-07-2010 04:19 PM

Hey George did that lowered silver GTR have Satin paint? looks like it did.

Jedi54 09-07-2010 04:20 PM

it was like a flat grey color.

mike[piston eater] 09-07-2010 05:26 PM

nice pics looks like a blast and im glad the 8s repped with respectable cars unlike some of the other clubs:suspect:

I was glad to see some good 8's out there representing the 8club but then there were those who signed up, confirmed their reservation, and then flaked out on us without ANY prior notice. Unfortunately that made us look REALLY bad to the Greddy meet organizers and it's a shame some of them couldn't even give us the courtesy of a text, call, PM, or post.

mike[piston eater] 09-07-2010 07:00 PM

oh i didnt know that thats not cool at all i wanted to go so bad but didnt go cause i thought the spots were full

Red_Fox 09-07-2010 07:03 PM

pretty fun meet

That would piss me off too. How hard is it really to let someone know you are not going to show up? Especially to an event that is invite only with spots limited to those that registered weeks in advance.

mike[piston eater] 09-07-2010 07:05 PM

i guess some people don't know common courtesy

Fortunate Few 09-07-2010 07:09 PM

i hope the sevenstock girls are as hot as that one.

mike[piston eater] 09-07-2010 07:10 PM

+1 :suspect:

scremn8 09-07-2010 07:13 PM

yep i could have put another winning blue in the mix. but since i came in later they had all the spots locked up with other cars

gregs 09-07-2010 08:43 PM

looks like a great turnout guys...awesome pictures george & rev....i really wish i could have made it

Razz1 09-07-2010 10:14 PM

Man. I was looking for something to do this weekend.

I wish I knew about this er... forgot about it.

Roidz 09-07-2010 10:33 PM

Wow, there was some nice cars there. Great pics.

Jedi54 09-08-2010 12:29 AM

glad you guys liked the pics.
Hopefully we get an invite again next year and we can once again represent the 8club with some of SoCal's finest 8's.

rodjonathan 09-08-2010 01:40 AM

awesome pics and looks like an awesome event that z n s2k need some rims FAST!!!! the advans look the best out the the bunch on the 8 :)

scremn8 09-08-2010 06:58 AM

Rotary-RX8 09-08-2010 08:29 AM

Nice cars !! Btw Jedi did you get a new front bumper ? Looks like mazdaspeed front one of the pics . If so more pics !!! Pleasee

Jedi54 09-08-2010 09:19 AM

Nope, no MS bumper for me.
I'm also terrible about taking pics of my car, I'm usually too busy taking pics of everything else.

04_Mica Mazda 09-08-2010 10:13 AM

Nice meet, great photos... sorry to hear people flaked out on you guys. Overall looks like a really good time.

UrbanOcho 09-08-2010 11:49 AM

Nice pics, Jedi and Rev!

I bet the 8s will get asked back....Those who did show up looked good and represented us well.

The infamous Aqua Tail Light Mod was nothing compared to the other cars' dents and fender scrapes.

Good job guyz.

:worship:

I just can't believe that no one, not ONE person said anything about my comment regarding hurling hand grenades at the Taliban.

dang it pdxhak, you ruined my trap to lure out the stalker!

Now we'll never know whose sending The Reverend all those weird letters in the mail made from newspaper and magazine clippings. :suspect:

Atilla 09-08-2010 04:41 PM

:lol: @ jedi

that gives me an idea tho - i think after 7stock i'm gonna see if i can snag a group pic of all of us n' see if any out-of-towner's can name either us or our cars. Winner gets a free 7stock tshirt or keychain...

i figure there's gonna be a crap load anyway...
