Low36

DaveT -
On one of my more recent Wrong Fitment Crew lurk sessions I spotted this green 97 328i owned by user low36. BBS wheels on an e36 isn't anything outside of the norm but when it's as cleanly executed as this my attention is peaked.

Theme Tuesdays: OG Minitrucks

DaveT -
About a month ago the idea to do a follow up to the fairly well received 'Old School Minitruck' Theme Tuesday began to creep into my head but it wasn't until I came across The Coalition of OG Minitruckin on facebook that it really came together. After almost immediately losing an hour of my day upon discovery, I sent the page admin an email and we agreed that it's been far too long since some OG (traditionally styled) minitrucks have been posted on Stance Is Everything.

Clint Jolly Green

DaveT -
Sometime in May I tweeted a photo of my Canon on a tripod in front of my car and @ClintJollyGreen was one of the first to ask when those photos would be posted. My car isn't exactly top priority around here so my reply was simply "soon".

WTF Friday: Oh my stars and garters

DaveT -
Lately, when posting a 'questionably' modified WTF Friday discovery, I try to find at least one redeeming quality to compliment. Unfortunately with this car I can't really think of anything to say beyond "it's unique", which is basically the participation trophy of compliments. I'm actually really surprised that anyone did this to a Starion to begin with considering that they are a relatively obscure chassis to those who are into front and rear end swaps.

Rover

DaveT -
Last week I posted an Audi on 3 piece TMBs to which Ollie replied "some times I think if I see another VAG on Rotiforms I'm gonnna shoot my self. Isn't the idea of custom cars that you never see another one like it?" I thought about that comment for awhile and realised that despite the fact I still enjoy a good VAG car dumped on Rotiforms Ollie's point rings true because if I see another Rocket Bunny Kitted FR-S I just might scream a little bit.

Theme Tuesdays: Gassers – Part 1

DaveT -
Starting out purely as a way to put more power to the ground the gasser stance is easily one of the most iconic and recognisable in all of Motorsport and going this long without doing a Theme Tuesday dedicated to another one of the many pioneers of stance is almost sacrilegious on my part. Thankfully with some contributions from Ollie, pictures I had on hand, and a few bookmarks, pulling this one together didn't take all that long.

El Camino

DaveT -
When I think about El Camino's (which is more often than I should probably admit) it's usually fifth generation, or very occasionally fourth gens, but hardly ever anything earlier than that and almost never first generation models. A lot of that could be attributed to my age but another contributing factor is, at least locally, there are very few first generations driving around in stock form and even less have anything of note done to them.

WTF Friday: Rotary Estate Club

DaveT -
People from New Zealand love their rotaries and if one of my co workers is any indication they also love their Mini's so if you look at it from that angle this combination of Mini body, custom chassis, and Mazda heart makes perfect, logical, sense. Hell even if it didn't make perfect logical sense the end result is so phenomenal that it doesn't matter.

Rare-Snare & Stance Is Everything

DaveT -
As Stance Is Everything continues to grow the number of people interested in working with the site increases in kind but few have come off as professional and personable as Craig at Rare-Snare. An enthusiast for over a decade, and a connoisseur  of all things low Craig started Rare-Snare with the mindset that the community needed a place to find great products at great prices without having to jump through hoops.

Introducing Luxury Abstract

DaveT - 5
It's always been true that the right accessories, especially wheels, make or break the over all look of a vehicle and now more than ever people are focusing on the quality of their wheels in addition to the look, diameter, width, and offset. This increased desire for a quality product has created a market that can sustain several made to order custom wheel manufacturers. The latest of this new breed of wheel manufacturer is Luxury Abstract who is poised to make a huge impact in luxury aftermarket accessories for 2011.

DC Squared

DaveT - 8
I was surfing JDMR the other day and I noticed that the red DC in this post is up for sale/being parted while the white one is going under the knife for a 2011 transformation. This means that these photos, which are not all that old, are now time capsules of the last time these cars wore their Mugen inspired look. I'm not sure what the owners plan to do next but judging by what they have already accomplished it's safe to say that what they are pushing in 2010 will look at least this good.

Before Christmas Craig at Rare Snare asked me 10 questions about SEMA, Stance Is Everything, The Toronto scene, car blogs, and music. It took me awhile to get through them but eventually I made good on my word and completed the interview which he put up last week sent the answers by and last week.

Mini Feature: Eric’s Mint Del Sol

DaveT - 6
Del Sols have always stuck out as interesting little cars, they tease with the look of a mid engine sports coupe while their underpinnings are actually hinged on the ever popular Civic chassis. As a successor to the much loved and ever popular Honda CRX Del Sols never seemed to catch on quite the same, however for every 10 people who look over the Del Sol there is one individual who is willing to put some time and money into this light and nimble chassis, Erich Hachey is one of those individuals.
