For Part 2 of the 21st Trans Sport Show coverage, Custom Pinoy Rides brings you plenty of spankin’ engine bays, and a few nostalgic customs.

Autoline Motorsports Zentrium and PR Autosport maintains their strong partnership, joining up with this 2007 Honda Civic.

Another example of an engine bay you could literally eat out of, this 1996 Mazda Famila GLX by Autogenix Carworx sported a gold engine cover…

…with its purple paint scheme making its way to the interior in true custom fashion.

Another gold engine cover from Autogenix Carworx, in a 1997 Honda Civic VTi

A 1998 Honda Integra having been graced by the Midas touch, with the lips of its BBS rims and its engine cover in matching gold. This was a joint project by Dice Bodykits, AC Garage, and Autopartsphil.

Another creation by Dice Bodykits, Garage 28, and AC Garage. This 2006 Honda FD2 sporting individual throttle bodies.

Glossmaster Customworx breaking norms in engine bay styling, with pattern and color matched strut bar and air intake tube.

Autoline and PR Autosport with their 2011 Mini Cooper

OLDisCOOL indeed, this 1963 Mini Cooper by Equal Trade and Firland Audio attracting the crowds.

Not enough room to cram in all your AV gear? No problem! Add a trailer! This Cooper is certainly an entertainment center on wheels.

And just in case you need to pop by the nearest Mini Stop to get a case of ice cold brew whilst the crowd watch the latest episode of Game of Thrones on the Cooper, just grab the roof-mounted chopper, complete with rear carriage.

Just when I thought I had seen the entire car, the owner popped open the hood and revealed an equally astounding engine bay.

“I was built to beat you” – nuff said!

There were a number of great looking vintage cars on display this year. Alfred Motorworks showing off a restored 1963 Sunbeam Alpine.

A 1969 MGB GT looking like it just rolled off the production line…

…unwittingly nearly half a century later, but still holding its own.

This 1937 Chevrolet was one of the oldest cars on display in the show, being done up by The New Autodresscode.

Featuring red hot grills, with a checkered front accent…

…this vintage is as revolutionary now as it was back in its prime.

That’s it for Part 2 of the 21st Trans Sport Show coverage. Stay tuned for more!

Good Buy or Good Bye?

Since its first release in 1983, the Honda Shadow has become one of the coolest and most loved cruiser motorcycles around. The laid-back look, with swept-back handlebars, low seat height, and feet-forward footpegs give it a very relaxed and casual riding position combining comfort with style. And the many aftermarket options available allow owners to modify these even further to suit their tastes, and make their rides unique and personalized.

This is one example of a 1997 Honda Shadow which has received much love and customization by its owner. The theme done by the owner is turning this motorcycle into a “bobber“. For those not familiar with biker lingo, if you don’t know what a bobber is, I’m pretty sure you’ve heard the term “chopper”, made famous by the hit TV series American Chopper.

It has been said that the difference between bobbers and choppers doesn’t come down to what’s on the bike and what isn’t. It comes down to whether it has a short front end or a long front end. If the bike has been customized and changed with nothing done to the front end, it is a bobber. If the front end has been stretched out then it is a chopper.

Well then, let’s take a look at this custom 1997 Honda Shadow bobber. Here’s a view of its modified rear end, wherein the rear fender has been completely removed.

A Centerline rear wheel replaces the stock factory unit, giving it a more solid and muscular look. The stock exhaust has also been relpaced with slash-cut stainless steel pipes, which makes it not only look muscular, but sound like it too.

The rear fender has been removed, adding to the macho look. The rear seat has been replaced with a wide aftermarket unit with its own suspension for added comfort.

It has also received other modifications apart from what has been done to its rear end.

Chrome, chrome, and more chrome. The sidemirrors have been replaced with aftermarket teardrop units. The handle grips have received the same treatment, with aftermarket chrome units replacing what came from the factory.

The handlebars have been replaced with mini ape “hangers”. Slightly taller than the stock unit, it changes the overall look and feel of the bike.

This Honda Shadow bobber features the most sought-after look on modified bikes: a thin front wheel, and a large rear tire.

Oh and by the way, the owner of currently putting this baby for sale, as he has to make way for the Harley-Davidson Sportster 883. So if you happen to be interested, give him a ring! I’m sure you won’t regret being the next proud owner.
