Stance Is Everything.com

About a week ago Will from Stance East (who is known to rock SIE shirts in the club) asked on the facebook page if low riders ever tip over after I posted a pic of an Impala hoping.

I messaged him later saying the farthest I have ever seen one get is parked up on it’s bumper or dragging bumper in a three wheel.

However, it would appear that if you three wheel a square body s-10 blazer there isn’t really anything stopping you from going ass over tea kettle while bending them corners.

Late in 2011 I got a fairly larger order from a Takafumi Ebata, a Stance Is Everything reader from Japan.

The first time I sent out the order I misread it and as a result a few things were missing, so to make amends I resent the entire order along with some freebies from the mystery box.

Fast forward a few weeks and Takafumi showed his appreciation by sending through some photos from Fitted Fes 1 which took place January 22nd in Nagashima Japan.

Minitruckers are no strangers to wild front end swaps, some turn out great and some turn out not so great.

I stumbled across this s10 Blazer with a c10 front end when I was pulling together this weeks ‘no shine’ Theme Tuesday and thought it was worthy of a post of its own outside of that due to how unique it is.

This front end manages to be a huge departure from the standard Blazer front end but not look entirely out of place once you get over the initial shock.

Gotta hand it to Volkswagen guys, especially air cooled drivers, because they prove time and time that nothing phases them.

Low + Snow? No problem Low + Snow + Ragtop? Snow problem there either.

Makes me feel like a sissy for using the heat in my car.

2010.

That post was made up of mostly black cars and with a couple cars switched out it could have easily passed for a ‘murdered out’ Theme Tuesday.

This go round I took a little more time picking out the cars to include and pulled together a wider variety of cars including modern, euro, and the cars mysteriously missing from the last post, classics.

This 240sx is one of the cleanest S-Chassis builds I have ever seen. Aesthetically and mechanically this car is basically flawless and an improvement in every regard to the way the car came from the factory.

Built by a talented family of auto enthusiasts (grandfather through to grand son) it is a great example of what can be done if you have the means and do not cut corners.

I recently found out the owner of this car is a fellow BMX rider and that was the final push I needed to post this car up.

The requested ‘Turbo Dodge’ Theme Tuesday has honestly been one of the most challenging I have tried to pull together because I am trying to not just post the obvious SRT-4 or fudge the lines by posting only Conquests (which are really Mitsubishis anyway).

In my search for ground scraping Dodge Omnis and Daytonas I stumbled upon this SRT-4 swapped Chrysler Town and Country that is completely stock inside and out other than the drive train.

There is a fair chance a lot of you have only seen this Supra from the rear.

Even though it is an older build my first and only exposure to it for the longest time was that one lone picture of its ass.

Arguably the car looks best from the rear, but the rest of it isn’t all that bad either especially when you take into account the wide body isn’t an off the shelf kit and the twin turbo 2uzfe motor has been heavily worked over.

A couple weeks ago a picture of Alex’s Lexus SC at Blue Mountain made it’s way to the fan page and two things about said picture were quickly disputed.

One, that his car is Lexus SC (and not a Toyota Soarer) and two the fact that he does indeed daily drive it like it as it appeared in the photo.

I’m not even sure why the first item is up for dispute, Alex owns the car so if he says it is a Lexus SC400 then it is a Lexus SC400, and for proof of the other disputed item he sent in some more photos.

In trying to keep some variety in the Theme Tuesdays (and posts in general) I decided to keep the import and American Theme Tuesdays on the hard drive this week and do something else.

Originally the plan was to finalize the Type A Theme Tuesday but after stumbling across the first Harlequin in today’s post that was put on the back burner.

I never expected this theme to make it to a second round but I’m glad it did.

If this truck could talk prior to becoming part of the Taylor’d Customs fleet it would have told the same stories any other 54 year old truck would.

Tales of journeys to and from work or the farm, first dates, and perhaps a trip to a hospital for a child birth (or two) are nothing out of the ordinary of a truck this vintage.

Dragging frame from from Ajax Ontario to Ohio though? That is a little less typical and a welcome turn of the page in the history of this awesome 57 Chevy 3200.

Posting a WTF Friday critiquing a donk might be a tad hypocritical or ridiculous after posting this awesome cartoon on the fan page earlier this week but it just so happens that this particular donk is a LOT of ridiculous.

Now I can generally respect (or at least tolerate) a well built donk, but this SC….

Mangled fenders, missing center caps, and just an odd overall stance (even for a donk) make this car look quickly pieced together.

How about a little change of, well… pace for today?

Change in the way of a 1979 Mustang pace car that has been done up pro touring style with Roush/Wilwood big (huge) brakes, a beautifully redone interior, custom 8.8 rear end, mini tubs and…

bags to put this right car at exactly the height the owner wanted.

This will be the third time I have dedicated a post to this A3.

Outside of Pedro’s car (who is local) and the EuroProjektz build I don’t think I have posted any other A3 quite as much.

Every time I see new photos of this car I just can’t seem to help myself.

Obsessed? Maybe.

I am a little puzzled as to how I could have seriously gone so long without doing CRX Theme Tuesday considering I have already done Accords, Wagonvans, and Preludes.

Seems like it would have been an obvious choice considering a friend of mine had a sick green one for awhile, must have just slipped my mind.

Until today of course.

2011 saw a lot of people take extreme measures to build something that stands out in what has become an increasingly competitive scene.

In an attempt to separate themselves from the latest internet sensation some arguably took things a little bit too far.

Montreal native Moneesh didn’t do this, instead of setting out to launch the ‘fitment bar’ to the moon he upgraded his car with modifications that compliment the RX-8′s factory figure letting the final result speak for itself.

Trikes by design are a little weird. They are not quite a motorcycle, and not quite a car and often piloted by people with big beards and awesome bandanas.

Today’s trike isn’t just a little weird it is a lot of crazy and comes from @clintjollygreen via twitter.

Clint spotted this single turbo 2jz powered trike at an Ama superbike race in Wisconsin.

If you are of the mindset that stance is all about wide wheels, stretched rubber, camber, and static suspension hopefully this ’66 Cadillac Coupe De Ville will change your tune.

Hammered to the floor via air ride and sitting on simple hub caps with white walls this car has got stance for miles, which is just about how long it is.

Some cars all you need is low and this a perfect example.
