The new version of the Acura NSX came sporting over 500 horsepower. The R35 came with great factory power and tons of power potential. What did the new Supra come with? 

We’re here to find out. 

We’ve had the 2020 Supra in the shop a few times already, but just for scanning and product test fits. We have yet to run it on our in-house Dynojet, but to be frank with you, we’re not setting our hopes too high. Videos have circled the internet throwing around less than ideal  numbers, but we’re holding our judgement until we can see for ourselves.

WILL IT LIVE UP TO THE HYPE? 

Aesthetics-wise, the car is a lot more impressive in person than in the press photos we’d seen previously. The body lines don’t necessarily resemble the Mk4 at all, but have a nice, yet bold flow to them that everyone around the office here seems to actually really like. Once you open the door and start digging a little deeper, is when the BMW emerges. The view from the driver’s seat closely resembles that of a new gen BMW Z -iDrive and all.

While we don’t feel the GR Supra pays enough respect to the classic, we still like it and can’t wait to see what is accomplishes once covered in our parts. Whatever numbers it puts down on the dyno, we’re ready to improve them.

2020 Toyota Supra Down-Pipe

For the month of August, our monthly Cars & Coffee event drew in a fresh assortment of builds – including everything from race-ready modern muscle to import show cars. Our usual $100 gift card giveaway was issued to a lucky attendee, spent, and enjoyed. We had a blast hanging out with fellow enthusiasts this last weekend and can't wait for the next event. 

Next up, catch us at the Sand Sports Super Show in Costa Mesa.

OFF ROAD EXPO

Off Road Expo has earned its widely recognized name with a longstanding history of drawing in the best of the best when it comes to everything off-road. Whether you're into off-road racing, rock crawling, trail riding, sand sports, or anything else – ORE is something you've got to experience.

Our July Cars and Coffee wasn't like usual. We partnered up with a local car club, California Qs, that came in full force – bringing along dozens of modded Q50s and Q60s. 

Drawing in quite a bit of other cars too, all attendees were greeted by a scorching sun as early as 8AM. 

Unofficially, we debuted a few of our new Infiniti Q50 and Q60 products – including, but not limited to, our already popular dual intake system and down-pipes (that don't throw a check engine light).

NEW

INFINITI Q PRODUCTS

Some notable cars in attendance included a Charger sporting our limited edition red Momentum intake system, Premium Auto Styling's R33 Skyline, and the Dodge Demon Hellcab (which finally got one of our intakes after rocking a prototype since SEMA). This month's raffle winner won a $100 gift certificate that he was more than happy to spend on his Ford Focus ST. 

Hot weather aside, we had a great time checking out everyone's builds and getting to know our customers more. Stay tuned to social media and our blog for our next event. 

ANAHEIM, CA 

JULY 20TH, 2019

Summer's here, and in Southern California, that means it's show season. It seems once the warmer months approach, there's no shortage of meets on Friday and Saturday nights and no shortage of large shows and events during the day on the weekends. SPOCOM is one of these shows that travels the country bringing together popular vendors, sport compact vehicles, and local enthusiasts.

The sport compact crowd brings bright colors, shiny parts, shaved and tucked engine bays, wheel-to-fender fitment, stretched tires – and SPOCOM is where you can see impressive examples of each. To complement our booth, we brought along our in-house Challenger Hellcat and our two choices sporting chameleon wraps, a Civic Type R and Scion Frs (which both grabbed quite a lot of attention thanks to the nice bright indoor lighting). It's also interesting to note the presence of the somewhat inevitable USDM build and occasional overlander-style vehicles. While we're suckers for clean imports, we're not surprised the off-road market snuck it's way behind the doors of the Anaheim Convention Center. Either way, as always, SPOCOM was a notable piece of Southern California's 2019 show season.

SPOCOM

ANAHEIM, CA

JULY 20TH @ 4PM

Spocom is the holy grail of large sport compact shows. Sure, there are others out there, but this is pretty much the only one where you can spot an insane tracked-out R35 GT-R and a custom-painted Civic on bags — all under one roof. We'll see you there.

EIBACH

ALL AMERICAN MEET

CORONA, CA

JULY 13TH @ 3PM

Our friends over at Eibach are hosting their first ever car show focused on 100% domestic vehicles only. With food, raffles, facility tours, vendors, and more, this event is one you won't want to miss.

Our recent cars and coffee, held here at our headquarters in Corona, CA, drew in a wide crowd – a bunch of Mopars, a few hot hatches, some trucks right off the dirt, and a couple of impressive classic imports.

Hot coffee and fresh donuts in hand, we checked out everything our early morning event drew in. Also, in case you haven't heard, we're now offering in-house installations, so C&C attendees were given discounts on day-of purchases and shop scheduling. 

Overall, this event was a hit and we had a blast throwing it, so we decided to host another! Our next Cars & Coffee is later this month.

...Don't miss it.

SATURDAY, JULY 27th @ 7AM

Introducing the newest vehicle under aFe POWER’s roof: a 2018 Porsche 911 GT3, fitted in stunning Miami Blue. 

Its high-revving naturally aspirated 4.0-liter makes it a blast to drive. Claiming 500 horsepower at the crank, it wasn’t long before we wanted to test it out on our in-house dyno. Our baseline testing produced 432 horsepower to the wheels and 293 lbs. x ft. torque.  

We ran the vehicle on the dyno again after swapping out the factory paper filters with our high-performance Pro 5R filters. With increased surface area, deep 25mm pleats, and high-flowing progressive layering, our aFe POWER air filters outflow factory by 27%. 

By just installing these “drop-in” style air filters, we saw a gain of 5 wheel horsepower – and that’s not to mention the added benefit of our air filter’s longevity.

ANGEL STADIUM

Held annually around the month of June at the Angel Stadium, Auto Enthusiast Day is the epitome of a Southern California car show. 

With tire smoke in the air, the constant roar of V8-swapped drift cars, the warm sun, and Rockstar Energy Drinks in everyones hand... We can't think of a much better way to spend a mid-June Saturday afternoon.

Though the number of clean, stock-ish Mark IV Supras impressed us, what may be the best part about this event, is its variety.

"Auto Enthusiast Day" is just that. A day dedicated to auto enthusiasts – not off-roaders, not drifters, not drag racers, and not just sport compact fans. 

...Just enthusiasts. 

With off-road demonstrations, drift exhibitions, tons of show cars, vendors, and more – whatever kind of vehicles you’re into, Auto Enthusiast Day is sure to have them. If one thing's for sure, Nitto knows how to throw an automotive event. 

...Until next year!

BIMMERFEST WEST

Bringing the BMW Community Together for 20 Years

2019

Many different scenes have their signature styles – JDM guys sort of all like the same wheels, the same look, and same with Mopar guys, etc. Sure, the usual tasteful European builds are some people’s fancy, but one of the best parts of Bimmerfest is the sheer amount of cars it draws in and all the differences between them.

It gives attendees the chance to see clean “OEM plus” builds, full-on race cars, insanely detailed show cars, and everything in between. Each year, there’s always new crazy builds to check out. 

There’s those that prefer to hang out in the paddock area and become immersed in the track scene, there’s those that have their full attention on showing their personal vehicle, and there’s those that are just there for the fun of it – and want to be check out every aspect of the Ultimate Driving Machine, whether sitting pretty or in action.

Aside from the cars… this year was like past years in that, the second everyone got parked and situated, the event really started to take shape. Everyone gets in the groove and the welcoming, friendly vibe from surrounding enthusiasts becomes evident.

The excitement along with a burning sun and heat made day one quite draining. It was slated to rain basically from sunrise to sunset on Sunday, but the weather gods were with us and it ended up just sprinkling off and on, allowing the show to resume in full effect. 

All in all, as expected, it was a great show. We met people from all over California, people from Seattle, people from everywhere – it’s obvious why people travel so far for this. There’s no place a BMW enthusiast feels more at home.

Until next year, Bimmerfest!
