A Visit To: Air Lift Company

DaveT -
For years air suspension has had a reputation for being a sub par alternative to coil overs when it comes to building a vehicle where form shouldn't hamper function. This is of course an archaic mindset because like all other suspension systems on the market today air ride has evolved immensely since it's inception making nearly every negative "well my friend had air and..." statement a moot point.

WTF Friday: Zingers

DaveT -
Awhile ago I came across a fairly small picture of a few oddly proportioned, about go kart sized, vehicles sitting on an oval track waiting for a scantily clad woman to drop the flag and thought what the heck are those? Then I forgot about the picture almost entirely.

Event Coverage: Mega Speed 2013 – Part 3

DaveT -
Sorry for the delay between parts two and part three of the 2013 Mega Speed Coverage it wasn't really intentional, I just got busy getting a few ducks in a row (more on said ducks next week). Today's wrap up coverage has a little bit of everything that you couldn't find in the previous posts.

Theme Tuesday: New Wheel Companies Part – 1

DaveT -
Sometime last year I got into a conversation about "real" wheel companies with a local enthusiast. Normally I try and avoid conversations like this all together but, this time I took the bait and asked the person to list off a few companies he considered real. The standard prerequisites (BBS, Volk, Work, and so forth) were fired off but I was a little shocked that he failed to mention any of the numerous new (or perhaps maturing) wheel companies that have been putting out original designs within the past 5 years or so.

WTF Friday: Imitation Is The Sincerest Form Of Flattery?

DaveT -
One of the main reasons people choose modify their car is so that it's different than any other on the road, this is especially true when the platform you are working with is fairly common. During the time Stance Is Everything has been active Level One member Dan has built two unique, very low, and fairly well known Honda s2000s.

Event Coverage: Mega Speed 2013 – Part 2

DaveT -
Today's portion of coverage from Mega Speed 2013 focuses almost exclusively on the tuner hall which this year was fairly self contained from the rest of the show.  Apparently this was done based on feedback from last year but personally I would have liked to have been a little bit closer to the rest of the action.

Megaspeed Grand Champion: The Boot Hill Automotive Resurrection Hauler

DaveT -
Before I get back into another round of Mega Speed coverage (read: finish editing the photos) I thought I would put up some snaps of the 2013 Mega Speed Grand Champion the '56 Hauler. Mega Speed was actually my second time seeing this truck in person. The first time I saw it was at the Detroit Autorama (where it took home 1st place, Radical Truck, Best Truck, and Outstanding Display).

Theme Tuesdays: Burnouts

DaveT -
I like to believe there are at least two universal truths among car enthusiasts. The first is that everyone loves the e30 m3, and the second is that everybody likes a good burnout. Personally I love a good burnout and while I agree they have their time and place (leaving a meet is neither the time nor the place), I wouldn't be opposed to seeing more tires evaporate into clouds of smoke this year.

Event Coverage: Mega Speed 2013 – Part 1

DaveT -
With Performance World going the way of the dodo Mega Speed had big shoes to fill when they stepped up to replace the previous unofficial show season opener here in Toronto. From a spectators perspective Mega Speed 2012 was a resounding success and Mega Speed 2013 was shaping up to be a great follow up.

WTF Friday: One year already?

DaveT - 9
Before I jump into today's WTF Friday (a fast Saturn) I thought I should mention that a year ago today was when I published the first post on stanceiseverything.com It's really exciting that an idea that took losing my job to become reality has come this far in such a short time. Now 13 Featured Rides, 36 covered Events, 49 Theme Tuesdays, and 975 comments later S.I.E. is still here and going strong. Thanks to everyone reading this, this site/blog wouldn't be what it is today without you keeping me motivated. Now without further adieu today's WTF Friday.

WTF Friday: Not quite a barrel of monkeys

DaveT - 1
In life it's important to learn from your mistakes so before I get any further in this post let me state that this is not an attack against Rotiform. I've never talked to anyone at Rotiform nor dealt with then in any way shape or form so I have no axe to grind. They have a strong standing in the aggressive fitment community and I'm a fan of more than one of their designs so I have no slanderous intent.

WTF Friday: Rocket Karts Continued

DaveT - 4
Some of you might remember when I stumbled upon a Turbonique rocket powered go kart for the first time last August at a Street Classics Cruise in. The original WTF Friday post I did on that kart shortly has been one of the most popular posts on the site, period. It has drawn collectors from all over looking to exchange information about these extremely rare pieces of drag racing history and automotive ridiculousness.

The CSCS finale was yesterday and it hands down the best CSCS I've been to so far, the lack of rain in the forecast combined with it being the last event of the year drew lots of people out to Cayuga. While I didn't have a chance to really get into editing the near card full of photos I took when I got home I did make a point to edit these photos, because not only was this car unique but it was also quite swift on the track.
