Event Coverage August 22nd CSCS Pt 1

August 23, 2010 | 4 Comments | Bagged, Chevy, Dropped, Event Coverage, Featured, Makes, Nissan, Subaru, volkswagen

Sunday August 22nd 2010 was a busy day for the GTA automotive community. Three events took place simultaneously (Vagkraft, Meeting of The Mazdas, and CSCS:Xtreme Tuner Challenege) and depending on your location you were anywhere from damp to soaked as the weather didn’t want any of these things to happen.

Thankfully in Cayuga at CSCS the weather actually wasn’t too bad for most of the day, a little damp at times but for the most part dry and great for photos.

I managed to take quite a few pictures so I’ve broken up the coverage into multiple parts, today’s coverage is of the off track action.

Transformer II

I am a BIG Transformers (Generation 1 & 2) fan but this truck was a bit much for even me. Team H.V. put a lot of time into this truck (Avalanche?) but it was just way over the top.

I've never seen a wooden Autobot insignia before

Massive custom tilt front end

It's won a whole lot of trophies...

Subaru

This is the first time I have seen this Trial wide body Subaru in track trim and I’ll tell ya it looked good out on there on the track.

I might actually like this business setup over his usual set up

Up close of the sticker bomb

Euros

With Vagkraft going on at Downsview park a lot of the European crowd was over there ,but a few came out to enjoy the drier weather at CSCS

Gary's bright wide body e46, this is the first time I have noticed that he could go wider with his wheels

Spotted this MKII Golf in the paddock and out on the track

It was pretty quick

Nice Jetta on big lip RMs

The red on the outside of the lips was a unique touch, you can just make it out here

Chevy’s and Minis

Bowtie owners always bring the goods.

I have been given to OK by my girlfriend to build a car like this Nova

A GTA show regular

James brought his truck out and I manged to shoot it at the worst lighting angle ever

I did however get an alright shot of detailing he has going on underneath the truck

This bagged s10 was looking a little lonely

So some women stopped by to keep it company

Nextmod

As usual Nextmod rolled pretty deep both in the Show and Shine and the time attack/lapping events

Andrew was parked near the track, with the Nextmod fam

Andrew's trunk setup is very clean, I like the red on black

This Acura's Arc lip on the ground

Advnce Power House/Nextmod/Amuse s2000

Pearly's rims are greener than the grass

Drifters

When not on the track I manged to snap a few shots of these well used Nissans

Cooling between runs, this driver pushed his car hard

Chris St John can really slide a car

Nothing zip ties can't fix

Honda’s and Acuras

Just a preview of some of the cars that will probably be at Honda-Tech 7 next weekend, hopefully I can sneak out and get a few pics after the move.

Dumped Accord

With a cleaned, polished/chrome bay

Boosted H.V. performance DA

Big Turbo Inlet horn, looks like a trumpet

Very clean Turo el

Tiddy detailed engine pay

and an equally tidy trunk set up

Very clean functional looking eighth gen

@ChesterYu29's Civic on super Advans

I must have just missed him as he was judging at the show

Msequence got new rims as well as a few spoon accessories

The K swapped CRX from Scrape By The Lake

I almost got a set of these for my car but the offset was just a bit too aggressive (mexi)

I've taken a picture of this EK hatch every time I have seen it, love the color

Three very clean EKs

Never thought I would like purple lips, but here we are

Closer look at the SIR on CCWs

Which is actually owned by a woman

No, I am not tired of these wheels

That’s it for today, check back Wednesday (or maybe Thursday) for photos of the on track action with some guest shots from my girlfriend.

Random Dopeness: Volume 5

August 22, 2010 | 9 Comments | Bagged, Blog Finds, Cadillac, Chevy, Datsun, Dropped, Ford, Message Board Finds, Volvo

I’ve had some issues before with scheduled posts and since the week before and after my move might be kind of hectic I thought I should probably get the bugs worked out before hand.

If all goes to plan this edition of Random Dopeness should go up as I am at the Next Mod 1 year anniversary meet. *crosses fingers*

Well it didn’t go to plan and this is one week late, better late than never!

I'm really a fan of these older Caddys done up subtle and clean

I wish I were there

Once a work truck now retired to the easy life

Another slammed full size,

Sometimes I think I have car A.D.D. my taste is all over the place

Best Volvo ever?

Those stacks are huge

Hmm lower truck = the ability to run taller stacks?

Sinister looking 2002 in it's element

Now this.. this is a work of art.

The cat came back

August 12, 2010 | 2 Comments | Audi, Bagged

Remember that gorgeous Audi A3 wagon I posted not too long ago? The one in front of the incredibly awesome cat mural and owned by a fellow rider?

Well it’s back and now slammed thanks to a fresh, clean air ride install.

Bags can’t be cheating because this car is winning.

Out come the coils, in go the bags

Tidy install

Do want!

Grounded

So sexy.

Theme Tuesdays: Fellow BMX Riders

August 10, 2010 | 5 Comments | Bagged, Chevy, Dropped, Honda, Mazda, Message Board Finds, Pontiac, volkswagen

I like cars, this info is not new to any of you, I also really like to ride BMX and if for whatever reason I had to pick between the two I would probably chose the latter.

However, I don’t see having to choose anytime soon so I have decided for this Theme Tuesday to combine my two interests and post cars owned by fellow riders.

Most of these have been found on bmx message board but a few have been found on car message board with bmx threads.

Last time I posted this car I had no idea it was a BMXers ride

Pontiac Fiero

This bikeguide member has one of the cleanest Fieros I have ever seen, these cars rarely show up on message boards anymore

Probably the cleanest Fiero I've seen

Thats lots of dish

Minitrucks

A lot of BMX riders are minitruckers as well, suicide doors was started by a BMXer who used to work at Dans competion.

Matt's a local and we used to shred the hell out of our local park together

Love this truck

Mini project by a fellow s10forum/bikeguide member

Honda’s

Honda’s are cheap and reliable exactly what we need to get from spot to spot.

This Civic is super clean and the photography is top notch

Same civic different kicks

One of the cleanest bodied and styled tegs I have seen in awhile

The same car on rpf1s (I'm jealous)

VW’s

VW’s are popular with everyone why not riders?

Rider from the UK with a Lupo

That sky looks evil

Straight to the point

Great looking murdered golf

Durks car is legit

Drifters

The BMX mentality lends itself quite well to drifting…

Dorrriii

Logans Legacy is well known for good reason it's very unique

Puuuurrrrppple

Flush

Gettin loose

Real loose

If you ride and read this blog and I didn’t post your car this time around don’t worry. I already have half of a part 2 started.

Feel free to email me at stanceiseverything@gmail.com you want to make sure I include you in the next one

Theme Tuesdays: Low Citroens

August 3, 2010 | 8 Comments | Bagged, Blog Finds, Citroen, Message Board Finds, Theme Tuesdays

You guys can thank Ollie for this weeks Theme Tuesday as he is the one who introduced me to the crazy world of Citroen 2CV’s which ultimately lead to today’s post.

Despite the unique (odd) suspension design of Citroens, the 2cv specifically, people drop them just the same.

Further proof that if you build it someone will slam it.

Rat, meets Cali, then France

Another Cali/rat collaboration

I ran across this one quite a bit, it could almost pass for a bug

Same car small changes

No fender gap

This truck conversion is sick

Hard to tell what wheels those are but they are a perfect fit

Sick trio, the build of the olive one is an interesting read

Laying, frame, rocker? Not sure with these lol

Video of the above in action:

American trends alive and well in this car

Another one I came across quite a few times while looking

Just cuttin the lawn

Racing

Just as people will drop anything you build people will also race anything you build.

Some CV's battling it out

Not sure how much of this is actually original anymore but sure looks wild

Wonder how fast these are...

I am guessing the original suspension has been tossed

The areo gives them a real wagon/panel van look

Off road!!

Other Citroens

After knocking around on some Citroen forums I came across these other Citroen’s which were are not 2cvs but still interesting.

Low Dyna

Slammed Dyane

Love the one air brushed panel on this one

Chillin with a 2CV

Low pair of Cits

V8

Some crazy person is even trying to put a v8 under the hood of a 2CV which I think is a whole lot wilder (and less sacraligious to Ferrari lovers) than the Ferrari 2cv.

Reminds me of Herbie the love bug

Oh man, this looks like a crazy amout of fun

Chicks dig em

Or at least get em stuck.

A little reward for those of you who made it all the way down here haha

Thanks to Ollie for a lot of these photos and snail.s4.bizhat.com

Get Buck

August 2, 2010 | 6 Comments | Bagged, Makes, Message Board Finds, volkswagen

Anyone know where I can find more pictures of this VW?

Looks damn good from what I can see.

Edit: Thanks to @Tattoo24v (Mike) and blankets3 I was able to find more pics of this car which belongs to Andrew at Open Road Tuning.

BAM

Aired out

Diggin the dish

Looks like he got new set of Rotiform wheels

Nothing beats a clean shave

Event Coverage: Scrape By The Lake 2010 Part 2

July 21, 2010 | 4 Comments | Bagged, Chevy, Datsun, Dropped, Event Coverage, Mazda, Mopar, Nissan

Part 2 of the multi-part Scrape By The Lake coverage is all about the trucks. I was really impressed at the trucks that came out this year and last year. The trucks I saw last year had new mods and the new trucks I saw this year were crazy.

If you like your trucks low this post is for you.

Under Construction

Some of these trucks have a lot of work ahead of them but look like they are going to be really nice when finished.

This should look really sick once it's all buttoned up

Not sure what the plans are for the hood of this Toyota

Nissan, Datsun, Mazda, Dodge

Import trucks are sort of the oddballs of the mini truck crowd, and the Dakota was the only Dodge I recall seeing.

Clean bagged Datsun

Green Mazda with a sick bed and caddy light conversion

A bagged Dakota? That's a new one

Insanely low body dropped Nissan

This was really hard to capture but there is a ghost tribal effect on the cover

Ford’s

Piss on Chevy

Crazy huge f350

Candy anyone?

Ya, I'd rock this

My friend Matt's Ranger which took home third in it's class

It looks like the pin stripe continues into the engine bay to some degree, which is a nice touch

Chevy’s

Piss on Ford

This 84 SS is in great shape

It's not often you see a 4 door 1st gen at a show

Body dropped s10 laying rocker

This Blazer turned a lot of heads, its drastically different than how they start out

I still love this front end

A Luv! Let's keep this away from Xzibit

Beautifully dropped late gen

2nd gen with a clean Hyrdualic set up

This truck was very clean

This raised floor almost looks like a bed full of water it's so smooth

Nice Siera

I should check in the the LCC guys, have not been on that board in awhile

This would make a great daily, or tow pig, clean, factory wheels, slammed

Another long time LCC member

Nice airbrushing on the hood very subtle

My, my thats high

The International

I had been told about this truck before I saw it and even still I was blown away, it’s simply awesome to see something this big laid right out.

On the damn ground.

Tucking and clean

I really hope someone produces video of this dragging

Check back tomorrow for the cars and the bikini contest.

Event Coverage: T.A.S.R 2010

July 13, 2010 | 5 Comments | Bagged, Chevy, Dropped, Event Coverage, Featured, Ford, Honda, Lexus, Mazda, Pontiac, volkswagen

On Sunday July 11th I attended the charity Tuners Against Street Racing show and shine for the third year in a row. This year to switch things up a bit I entered with Team JH instead of Team Toronto Mazda 3 and we were able to take home best team award which was pretty cool.

Like previous years the event went off fairly well considering mother nature decided to cool us down in the middle of the day with a quick thunderstorm.

I got to catch up and shoot the breeze with a bunch of old/new friends which is pretty much all I ask for from an event.

Amusing things

Cheap laughs are sometimes the best type…

This was on a heavily modified Solstice

What if you do both?

I.C.E

This Audiobahn wall was in a Nitro from New York

The back end of the Nitro, DJ hero anyone?

OG Nintendo power pistol > Those

This was hard to shoot, but this MR2 hd a nice clean A/V setup hiding in there

Superlite Coupe

Never seen one of these before so I had to do some research online to learn a bit more about it. I like what I learned sounds like a fun kit to build and drive.

Looks like it belongs on a race track

One of 2 cars sitting on CCWs at the show

A little disappointed I never got to see it run

JRP Jetta

This Jetta may or may not have changed from last year but I noticed a few things this year that I had not before, mainly the sub placment

I really didn't mind the sponsor sticker placement

I liked what they did with the CF hood also

I wonder how imaging is with a set up like this

Minitrucks

I took it easy on the Mini Truck pictures at T.A.S.R since I will be at Scrape By The Lake this weekend and will be coming back with lots of mini truck photos

Body dropped first gen s10

This second gen s10 was also very clean

Nissans

Small showing of Nissan’s but quality none the less

The Sentra SE-R was on my car short list for awhile the 6 speed is enticing

This Skyline took home some hardware

One of the awards he took home was best motor

Subaru’s

Small but competitive Subaru class this year

This WRX owner was reppin Team JH as well

This car took home elite Subaru and won a photo shoot with Elle Marie Photography sponsored by myself

His engine bay was freshly redone and included polished components along with a tuck and shave

So nice.

905 Rides

The 905 rides crew came out pretty hard to T.A.S.R and took home a bunch of awards, and for good reason here are two rides they brought out that really caught my eye

This Infiniti had some pretty nice fitment along with a clean exterior

Here's a closer look at the tuck and the dish

This Probe blew me away, I've not seen one in years and never have I seen one this clean

The owner said he couldn't find anyone else rocking wheels this wide on a Probe

Mazda’s

Mazda 3′s pretty well dominated the Mazda portion of the show thanks to Team JH and Team Toronto Mazda 3 but there were a few others as well.

Nice lookin 2nd gen, they are so happy

I hadn't seen John in over a year so it was good to see him out

Custom647.ca brought out their flagship ride

Dave is a fellow Seche Media Customer

You might recognize this car from the Mazda 3 photoshoot not to long ago

After climbing up this ladder I found stickers I didn't even know Ryan had

Ami was rocking new wheels and stripes this year creating a very Subaru-eque color scheme

Thanu's sedan looking clean

Mark is a Mississauga car show regular

Mike brought out his RX-8 on Works VS-XX wheels

Honda’s and Acuras

Even though ImportExpo/I Love Honda was the same weekend a few guys skipped the 1.5 hour drive and hung out at T.A.S.R

Del Sol rockin one of my stickers

The Shinzo 6th gen

If I recall this Acura scored pretty decent in his category

I need two of the big bottles

One clean Accord

I think this car placed in best JDM themed ride category

The orgainzers s2k

People kept telling me to go check out this car and I was not disappointed once I did

Massive 285s out back and blacked out CCWs, I dig

Toyota/Lexus

Another small class that had a great cars

Full shot of the MR2 I mentioned in the I.C.E. section

The dudes from Nocturnal made it out again

Sic Ryde's Lexus again, next year he should be tucking rim, I'm not joking.

Aidan brought out his IS300 to a show for the first time

He ended up taking home best Import other

Aidan reppin hard, congrats on the win

Congrats to all of the winners and see you guys next year.

Multi Purpose Wheels

July 12, 2010 | 1 Comments | BMW, Bagged, Dropped, Message Board Finds, volkswagen

I’ve got a serious amount of photos from Tuners Against Street Racing to sort through and I knew I wasn’t going to have them edited and posted before I left for work today so for this Monday morning I thought I would share what a local, female, BBS/Euro/Slam lover has been doing with her set of custom 17X9 et 20 and 17X10.5 et 28 pink BBS RS wheels.

The final destination of these wheels was an e46 but they made a few different stops along the way…

Originally these wheels were fit to a bagged, silver, Golf which I’m sure most of you have seen here or on other sites around the web:
