JCCS 2023

JCCS (Japanese Classic Car Show) is just one of those events ya know? A can’t miss event. The epitome of car events in Southern California. From the location, atmosphere, car selection, and people, it’s just an all around perfect experience which I attend annually.

I started my morning honing in my camera settings accounting for the foggy morning and decided to use this really clean S14 as a testing shot. Ironically its one of my favorite shots from the day. JCCS is tradition and as such I have a predetermined route I like to take as my first pass through. I always start off with the corner dedicated to Hondas.

This DC2 Integra really caught my eye with a decked out Spoon inspired engine bay and Sprint Hart wheels

Integras and Civics were out in full affect

Who doesn’t love a clean, well put together CD7 Accord owned by @seedy.7 on Instagram!

Making your way around, the middle sections of the lawn are inhabited by companies like Toyota, Mazda and Nissan showing off their heritage, motorsport or enthusiast vehicles which never disappoint.

Mazda did not shy away from bringing some heavy hitters which change every year. The year prior we saw a 787b in the orange and green RENOWN livery we all have come to know alongside a slew of FD RX7. I always look forward to the Mazda showcase since it always blends heritage and motorsport whereas Nissan and Toyota typically like to show off their newer enthusiast models.

Within JCCS was JCMS aka Japanese Classic Motorcycle Show presented by Motul. Vintage bikes mostly Honda and Kawasaki, even the new Honda Moto Compacto showed up for a bit parked next to its older brother the Moto Compo.

Amazing Kenmeri Skyline owned by one of the Team Wildcard members sitting on the smallest watanabes known to man.

GR86 and R32 Skyline GTR owned by Larry Chen. (I should’ve asked for a sticker)

Absolutely love this R33 Sedan sitting on LMGT4 wheels

The S- chassis population was also quite large with either full stock or full street style cars.

My favorite thing about curated events is watching other people studying a car and capturing that moment.

Sinister NSX paired with another NSX near the entrance attracted many eyes.

A closer look into the engine bay of this Mugen inspired CRX with a couple Twincam accessories.

It’s safe to say within the Honda section, Mugen inspired builds ruled them all. Understandably so, Mugen kits and wheels transform the look of any Honda without being too over the top.

Pair of FC RX7 next to the Mazda booth attracted the attention of many of the older attendees.

A lonely Top Secret Supra. Yes, that supra…

Had to end this with my favorite car of the show. A simple, clean DA integra track ready, tastefully equipped.
