SEMA 2014 by Capricorn

Problem – over 9 hectares of dazzling displays and booths featuring
everything automotive sprawling in front of us – where do we begin?
Best to start at a corner of one of four halls, and systematically work your

Making it
Easier in 2015
Welcome to 2015, I hope you enjoyed the
holiday period and celebrated with plenty
of festive cheer.
The start of the year provides us all with a
valuable opportunity to consider what lies
ahead. We look forward to working with you
throughout 2015, assisting you in working
towards your goals and business objectives.
This month we have a fantastic feature
written by Capricorn Members, Rod and
Amber McCardle who attended SEMA 2014
as part of the Capricorn group.
We congratulate a Capricorn Member,
Mermaid Motors who was the Reward Point
winner as part of Capricorn Members' Voice
Survey. We also present Wyatt Machine
Tools with their Million Dollar Supplier
Award.
Capricorn Risk Services provide some great
information on after hours emergencies and
we take a look at changes in V8 Supercars
in our feature article.
Our travel feature takes a look at the various
holiday destinations in Africa and we have

churning out pistons each worthy as a piece of art...and then you spot a little
booth in the corner with a man selling an extension wrench the type of which
you’ve never seen before. You’ve got to buy it, and then you wonder how
you’re going to get it home as you lumber around with it in your show bag.
This is SEMA 2014, the biggest yet, with over 150,000 attendees mixing and
mingling with over 2,500 exhibitors.
The halls are so large you cannot see where they end. Open to trade only,
you will come across professional people from all over the world. Exhibitors
always welcome you warmly when they see you are from New Zealand,
and enthusiastically talk about their products. There are thousands and
thousands of booths offering free samples, beautiful show girls who purr
over pistons, machines and tools you can only dream about, and cars, so
many cars that have been lovingly restored, modified and decked out in
ways you could never imagine.
STI 22B as our Member Ride.
In addition to this we have all of the regular
articles and features which I am sure you
will enjoy.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish
you a prosperous 2015 and look forward to
meeting you throughout the year.
Warmest regards,
Greg Wall

It’s true to say that six hours later on the first day, after
you have only seen half of the first hall, you can get a little
“SEMA-ED” out. But the trick is to return to your hotel, put
your feet up with a cold drink, absorb the brochures you
have collected, then return refreshed the following day to
continue your epic trek around the show.
At SEMA 2014, the open air area was bigger than ever, and
there was a mind-boggling array of cars you usually only
see in magazines. On the last day of the show, all these
automobiles participate in the SEMA “Cruise Event”. Each
beautiful, and not so beautiful, car made its way down to the
strip of Las Vegas – some purring, some spluttering, some
Ford F250
simply just being themselves.
Among them was this barely recognisable Ford F250, from
the “B Forged” mag wheel booth – a truck owned by “Royalty
Core” who specialise in grilles and accessories.
As well as this 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray – designed,
believe it or not, by Paul Stanley from the infamous rock
band KISS. The “candy red” and "midnight glaze silver"
trim is absolutely stunning, as is the 6.2 litre, 460 horse
power engine, which would be plenty for any trip down to
the local dairy.
Chevrolet Corvette Stingray
Then your eyes would have been assaulted by a machine
looking a bit like a horror movie – a Rat Rod with real
attitude.
So as you may have guessed, two owners of a little workshop
in Paihia, New Zealand, really enjoyed their SEMA experience.
If you’re thinking of going for the first time – “Just do it!”
Not only will you be wow-ed by the show, but also by the
striking desert scenery of Nevada, and of course by Vegas
itself. Also around the time of SEMA there is the NHRA
Drag Racing at the Motor Speedway, and the once a year
Rat Rod
“Aviation Nation”- a spectacular air-show put on at the Nellis

Member's Ride
Subaru WRX STI 22B
This month’s Member's Ride comes to us from Greg
at Autosport Engineering in New South Wales. This
unique Subaru WRX STI 22B is one of only 5 that
landed in Australia making it a very rare and sought
after vehicle.
In 1998, Subaru of Japan produced a wide body, coupe
WRX STI called the "22B STI" produced between March
and August 1998. The 22B was used to commemorate both
Subaru's 40th anniversary as well as the third consecutive
manufacturer's title for Subaru in the FIA World Rally
Championship. On the release of the sales, all 400 Japanese
units sold out in under an hour. Another 24 were produced
for export markets - 16 for the UK, along with another 5
for Australia, and 3 prototypes.
The 22B has the EJ22 engine meaning the displacement
was increased from 1,994cc to 2,212cc., producing 280hp.
This car was finished in a unique blue paint scheme and
has a fender flared wide body taken from the Peter Stevens
designed WRC car, widening the width by 80 mm. The car
has a unique hood, front and rear fenders, a WRC-inspired
front bumper and a unique adjustable rear wing.
Greg uses the car for racing competition and it has been
run at Bathurst, Phillip Island and Lakeside tracks. The car
is also driven very sparingly on weekends. Certainly a very
impressive ride and one of the most sought after Subaru’s
ever produced.
If you think your ride has what it takes to be published
in the Ignition magazine, please email your details to the
editor at [email protected]. Ensure you include
the subject line as ‘Member's Ride’. We look forward to
featuring your ride!
