T.A.S.R. Coverage Part One: Best Team
Tuners Against Street Racing went off for its third year without a hitch and Stance Is Everything was there to cover the event. Since I took so many photos at the show I am going to break the coverage up into two parts. Part one is an in depth pictorial of the torontomazda3.ca crew which took home the best team trophy.
Pre meet shots
The Mazda crew had members from all around the GTA so there were two initial pre meet spot locations. I was at the west end spot where we waited for the east siders before rolling into the show as a unit.
The East side crew rolls up to the west side meeting spot
White hatches are common amongst the tm3 crew
Each hatch is different than that before it
Captioning these reminds me of one of those spot the difference games
Shine!
A few sedans came with the east siders as well
Each sedan was more modified than the last
TM3 mod/admin Ami rolls on custom machined wheels
The meeting spot was a preview of what was to come
The Tent
Having a tent at show is a great way to create shade and memories it was chaos under here.
Good times
Entertainment
My reasons for this shot are obvious, Broli was telling an interesting story
Crew deep
The show lineup
Since TM3 had over thirty cars the middle area of the show was almost entirely Mazda 3s it made for some nice group shots
Nothing but Mazda3s in this shot
One end of one side of the TM3 lineup
The opposite end of the same side of the TM3 lineup
The far end of the TM3 lineup opposite side
A higher vantage point was needed to show area dominated by Mazdas
It is like a Mazda Dealership
Individual Car photos
I tried to get a shot of every member that showed up, but I know doubt missed a few, sorry to those I missed.
Since this show as about raising money for Big Brothers and Big Sisters the number of mods did not matter
This car had a few subtle purple accents
I have never seen angel eyes in this color before pretty original
The 2010s are basically fresh of the lot
Smile you are on candid camera
Nice choice of rims on this hatch
First place Mazda speed3
Repping for Seche Media
Ami at the show, note his blue cf lip
I am not show how Chris managed to get his car so clean between all the organizing he put to pull the team out for this event
Black/red color scheme, tasteful rims, lip, drop can't go wrong
Another return entrant from last year
Tein coil overs help bring this sedan closer to the ground
Best Mazda3 Runner up
This color is beautiful and Rx-8 rims suit the Mazda3 very well
Raph is down with the white hatchbacks
Fitting sticker
Pearl White still shining
The more I look at this car the more modifications I see
Mazda speed3 runner up
No time for losers cause we are the champions of the world
A big thanks goes out to Chris for organizing a bunch of rag tag torontomazda3 members into the winning team, Ami for providing the shirts, and everyone who showed up and helped tm3 alone raise over three hunderd dollars for Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Peel

Great pictures, great event. Thanks for the help on the shirt graphics.
Nice pictures! However Joe’s car was not the winner but 2nd place Mazda3. The winner was John’s turbo 3 hatch that was in the row behind us. Between the red and blue cars with the hood up in the over head shot.
Thanks, I will change that up now. Sun fried my memory!
Wow, very nice pictures Dave.
