Wekfest LA 2023
Wekfest is an event deep rooted in all aspects of car culture. Stance cars, Track ready builds, pinnacle dream builds and everything in between. Where most shows we go to for nostalgia of bygone times and appreciation of the classic cars on our bedroom wall, Wekfest shows us what present day car culture looks like.
While I didn’t take as many pictures as I’d usually for an event, I cycled through the event in circles looking for things that I personally found interesting. The tightness of convention center packed with all these cars made it fairly hard to find shots for every single car…
Saying Wekfest was attack of the GR86 would be an understatement. There were so many different 86 and BRZ builds including this tastefully done BRZ on Volk TE37.
In keeping with the topic, we also had an Exceed x Battlecraft collab on this 86 at the Battlecraft Booth. Rocking Battlecraft parts, Exceed exterior goodies and so much more, one could say this 86 stood out from the rest at this event.
One car in particular that really caught my eye as soon as I stepped in was this Porsche 935 slantnose. Arguably the coolest car there in my opinion, one of which was not getting the attention I thought it deserved. It’s not everyday you get to see a 935, especially in this fashion. Sporting a Race Service livery, this car is owned by the creative director at Race Service located in Culver City.
What event doesn’t have an S2000? The formula is tried and true. Track ready setups, hotboy wheels, hardtops, Japanese bodykits. S2000’s are simple and when done right can’t be beat.
Although this show had more crazy stance cars than pinnacle builds, the Toyo Tire booth was packed with amazing cars including this RWB 993. It’s not everyday you see an RWB Porsche in LA, even at the Porsche events so to see this was very interesting in person.
Rounding out the P cars is the creme de la creme of P car track use. 991 GT3 Cup Evo from Art of Attack. For a Cup car, you don’t need to do much if anything for it to be ready for the track but some aero from RSfuture and Art of Attack love and this thing is ready for any and all time attack events. Maybe we see it at Global Time Attack next year?
Rounding out this quick coverage, my favorite car of the show was this Mugen x Spoon inspired Honda Del Sol. Very seldom do we see clean, well taken care of Del Sol’s, especially one with so much thought put into it. It’s very obvious this owner loves Honda, and one could see that with the quality of parts equipped to this little beast. B series engine, Koyorad radiator adorned with Spoon Type One stickers, spoon overflow catches and piping, and lastly Mugen airbox. The moment I saw this car, I fell in love with it and began to wonder why more people decide to ignore them.
