Club Event Report - BHP Show 2026
On Sunday, May 3rd, 2026, at the Kent Showground, we participated in the BHP Show 2026. (See here for future schedules)
That morning, we were worried about the weather, as a powerful rain cloud had just passed over from France, but those worries were completely unfounded; it turned out to be a wonderful day with clear blue skies.
Our club's display featured a Subaru Alcyone, positioned in the centre, and everything was ready. Many visitors stopped by right after the doors opened.
This champagne-gold Copen is a UKDM L881K, a 1.3L engine with a K3. It's equipped with reinforcement parts in unseen areas, such as DSPORT side-sill support bars and under-panel reinforcements, to improve its driving performance. Of course, the engine bay is also beautifully maintained, making the car a real eye-catcher for visitors.
The silver Copen is an L880K model, equipped with power-up parts throughout, and further engine tuning is planned. Turbocharged cars are popular with the audience, aren't they?
The grey S2000 is a European-specification LH S2000. It's a track-spec model equipped with a roll cage. Not only the exterior but also the engine bay is beautifully maintained, and it was popular with the younger audience.
And then there's this gunmetal grey Copen. You all know it, right? It's the only car in the UK (probably) with a J-Mode front lip that completely changes the look of the Copen.
And finally, our company's demo cars. The S2000 CSOhara Motorsport pulled a lot of attention, and many audience members took our business cards. The CERO with the Takeoff Aerokit is still undergoing upgrade work, but we were able to participate in this event with some suspension modifications.
