ACS / TCS 2010 – Bee*R in the Club

The annual easter car show was held at Helsingin Messukeskus (Expo Center). It's a 4 day mayhem of American classics and dragsters etc, the other half is full of Euro, Jap, Tuned and exotic flavors. Drifers, lowriders, ICE cars etc. One corner is stuffed of Street Fighters and other motor bikes.

This year Alien2nrs-crew & friends were hanging at TeamFalken.fi stand [read - motorhome], enjoying the laid back scene [read - drinking BeeR].
I helped few friends with their graphics (HC Graphics), like Samuli's [skylineracing.com] Time Attack GT-R, Puppe Speed's styled MK4 Supra, Valtonen's mental RX-7 (Powered by Nissan SR20DET), Nikke's #02 car aka S13, Team Falken Drifter and Atte's Techart Porsche to name a few.
Juhis did he's usual stuff, the Team Falken video loop for the pit screens and some photoshooting.

I didn't want to take my car again to this show, so I did something else. The expo has an official party always on the second day of the 4 day extravaganza.
I got asked if I wanted to take my car to the afterparty – to the Club? Yes, that's right. Well it's first time for that, I thought.

Here's the results:




The guest star for the evening was rap artist Redrama.





This thread would be worthless with out pics. Juhis worked he's magic behind the lens again, check the out pics here: ACS/TCS 2010.

Here's a poor video clip of the afterpartys club flavors.


This was shot at The Circus nightclub in Helsinki. It took us few hours to get the car up on the stage. I think it was worth it, what a night! Thanks for everyone who came along.

Helsinki X-treme Festival

Helsinki X-treme Festival 12.-13.6.09


Drift event (X-treme Pro Drifting Trophy) & Car Show (The Nordic Tuner Awards) in the middle of Helsinki City, nice!


Friday started by drifting qualification runs. My team mates at Team Falken had done a great job getting the RX-7 running. The Nissan powered and Holset boosted devil had it's first dyno run just night before the event.


The cars engine was just been driven in and getting some settings & set-ups done by Mr. Valtonen from Valtonen Motorsport. He's the man behind this build and the driver of the car as well. Everything went pretty well considering that this car had never been driven since the build.

By the end of friday, Nikke from Team Falken was on the 1st place. Ossi was on the 5th place. So it was looking good for the team.

Saturday opened up really dark, but luckily it didn't rain all day.
Nikke was pushing really good till he did a little mistake and spun the car = 0 points. He lost at the bronze battle and finished at the 4th place.


Ossi on the other hand had really good pace, until he broke the drive shafts end.


It was the 3rd set for the weekend and the team didn't have any more spares.
So, Nikke lent he's car to Ossi, witch ended in good results.


Ossi won at the finals after really tight "One-more-time" -run and Leffe Hausselman from Åland came 2nd. Marko Hyvönen who had technical problems and got he's team mates car for the finals finished 3rd place.
What a birth day gift to Ossi who turned 30 at saturday, Congrats mate!



The X-Treme Festival also had a car show - The Nordic Tuner Awards.
My car ended in the Top 10 of the show. It was nice surprise. The Sweds had the best cars on the show IMO.

The Evos were super sick.


Mr. zEvo's Varis Super Taikyu -kitted beast was something truly unique. Read more about it here: zEvo Blog

The event's own website should have some pics soon as well.

Bee*R – Call of Duty

My friends from MDS called me bit over month a go to help out. They had a car show coming up in Easter and they didn’t have cars for the stand. So I stepped up the cry – 5 mins after closing the phone I realised I couldn’t take “the same car” in the show 2 years in a row. It needed a new look, something different. Right – the game was on.

New wheels, sourced as second hand. Bargain deal, but they still needed some new twist to stand out. I wanted semi-vip style and rat-look at the same time. Let’s call it Rat-Vip ;)





The new "pots" are 9,5x19 and 10x19 Work Euroline DH’s. Front ET is 0, rear ET -6. The rims were quite new, made in last year. Still wanted to give them a something, so a new paint to match the cars exterior and new ruff styled rim screws or spikes if you will. Now they look mean but classy.


Front lip is 3,5” and Rear lip 4,75” – Nice dish. Team Falken helped out with FK452 tires in 265/30/19 all around.


The new setup needed graphics as well, so I had few late nighters behind the Mac again. I wanted the car to be mean and brutal looking, so I ended up in a urban war theme – Full Metal Jacket.


Attack of the Killer Bee*R


RB26DETT – the weapon of choice


B324R = Urban Assault Weapon, the greatest street terror machine of all time :D


I had 8 other project cars to finish to the show, so my car was the last of them. HC Graphics aka Henri (me) & Casper did it again – totally different look. Not everyone’s cup of tea, but do I really give a shit? Nope.

Hifi update!
Alpine sorted me out with the latsest IVA-D106R media player/head unit, cheers to the new even better tunes!

Ooh, and peep out some pics from the show by Juhis: American Car Show / Tuning Car Show 2009

Thanks for the help again boys!
