Quebec! It\u2019s been far too long since I\u2019ve shown any love to the incredible scene you\u2019ve got. Many apologies, I\u2019m old and I don\u2019t get out too much anymore\u2026 but seriously, I\u2019ve never been disappointed by any sort of automotive event in Quebec. <\/p>\n
Eurokracy, Formula D, Indy. Everything I\u2019ve been to, with camera or without, has been incredibly on point.<\/p>\n
Euro, import, domestic\u2026 it doesn\u2019t matter Quebec manages to nail basically every genre. One of the groups out in Quebec that has been consistently operating at a high caliber is Low Level<\/a>.<\/p>\n After popping up at Fitted a few years ago I\u2019ve been keeping my eye on the group and have always been impressed. For 2019 they decided to give back to the community with Riverside.<\/em><\/p>\n Riverside was an event held to raise money for GEST (Groupe d\u2019entraide Sorel-Tracy) an organization that helps equip kids with the supplies they need to be successful in school.<\/p>\n I wasn\u2019t at the show personally but FCVDO<\/a>\u2018s Kevin Chapdelaine was and he\u2019s graciously provided his coverage for SIE. He submitted the coverage a few weeks ago but \u2013blame the writer\u2013 I am just now getting it posted up on the site.<\/p>\n Better late than never as they say.<\/p>\n It\u2019s pretty cool to see that the work of Chopshop<\/a> stands out wherever it goes. Kevin has been steadily honing his air install skills over the past few years and he\u2019s managed to crank out some outstanding installs and remarkable vehicles.<\/p>\n I love seeing people who are committed to producing quality, gimmick free, work succeed.<\/p>\n The stock body hides a bit as well but I imagine above 3000 RPM the Borgwarner fed fully built 2J is a hard motor to keep under wraps.<\/p>\n One detail I\u2019ve always loved on this truck are the upsized Iroc wheels. S10s and Irocs I\u2019ve always been a sucker for.<\/p>\n Speaking of love what is not to love about a Datsun 510 sitting on Wats with white lettered Toyo Proxes? It wears a Carbon Signal Hakobird<\/a> kit which makes the front end of the humble 510 motor closely resemble that of the revered Hakosuka (the first Nissan GTR). From what I understand it\u2019s the only one of it\u2019s kind currently in Canada. Pretty slick piece of kit if you ask me.<\/p>\n I might have to bug Kevin and the FCVDO guys for a few more photos from events out in Quebec this summer. It looks like they\u2019re hiding plenty of cool cars over there.<\/p>\n Take a look at a few more photos from the show below.<\/p>\n Quebec!

<\/a>Along with hosting a seriously nice collection of cars Riverside raised $7800 worth of donations for the organization.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Everyone loves a good sleeper, and with the hood closed I imagine this IS300 would be just that. Sure it\u2019s lowered a bit, but nothing outrageous and those large rear tires probably go unnoticed at first glance.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n
<\/a>Not to be outdone however, Kevin himself popped the hood on his supercharged LS powered bagged s10. Again Kevin\u2019s truck isn\u2019t exactly a sleeper, per say, but if you were to assume this car only had a 4.3 during a highway encounter things might not go your way.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n
\n<\/a>This Datsun is significantly up on power from stock thanks to a very cleanly executed SR20 swap. But that\u2019s actually not the most unique thing done to this car.<\/p>\n
