Last year, I posted a feature I did of Chivas Sotelo's EM1. To say its a well known car in our world is an understatement, to date, it has to be one of the most well known coupes to have graced our scene.
you can see the 2012 feature here:

I managed to get Chivas for a day whilst I was over for Sema, once again he collected me from my hotel to hang out for the day. He also arranged for Ray & Miguel to bring their cars along, of which you will see in the coming weeks also!

I cant lie, I am slightly disappointed with how my pictures have come out. I am, far from used to shooting in such a harsh sunlight, the Vegas sun is so unforgiving & being from gloomy England a cloudy environment is what I am used too but I did the best I could. I think I actually prefer my pictures from last time, but I guess the lack of practise this year is showing. Also, as over time I have gotten to know Chivas I see this as more hanging out as friends than it is doing a shoot for my site. Honestly I could have not even bought my camera a long and done non car stuff, so the shoot is just a bonus, you can see how non serious we take it though as neither of us realised his Sun visor was down haha, like I said though, we didn't do any pre-checks, I hardly even set my camera up & my tripod had broke so I was equipment-less, but excuses are for pussies so whatever haha.

Chivas has made a few changes since I last got to see his car, first visual one is the Volk CE28N's

Changing up a set of rims can really give a car a new lease of life. I loved the coupe on the Sprint Harts but can understand the change, from one awesome set of wheels to another!

You can see under the car the ASR Subframe brace & the Function 7 LCA's...

Next, a fairly big change under the bonnet!

Chivas has now stepped up to a Greddy Turbo kit for his B series, whilst also changing the bay colour from the flip paint to the pearl orange to match the rest of the car, which I think is a great choice as much as i loved the flip paint I think it looks really clean...

As the sun went down, I got to take some pictures in a setting im more a custom too... no Vegas sun. haha.

I am probably bias about Chivas coupe due to becoming friends with him over the last couple of years, but its one of my favourite Hondas in the scene today. Not just Em1's but Hondas in general. I love the colour, I love how every time I see it something else has changed on it. It is just an Awesome build that only keeps on getting better...
