Behind The Scenes of a PASMAG cover shoot

DaveT -
About a month ago I received an email from Basit from Importfest asking if I would be interested in dropping by a Performance Auto And Sound cover shoot later that evening. While the timing wasn't perfect there was no way I was going to  pass up an opportunity like this in the name of sleep so 11pm that evening I made my way back down town to a location that oddly enough I can see from my desk at work.

Theme Tuesdays: Honda Tech 8 Favourites

DaveT -
With no Honda Tech since 2010 presenting sponsor Teknotik decided bring it back with a bang in 2012 by hosting it at Mosport raceway. As a fan of the Mosport facility and Honda Tech (which was one of the first events I was exposed to some serious Honda builds) as soon as it was announced I was looking forward to checking it out.

Featured Ride: Jon’s Mazda 3

DaveT -
Like a lot of other platforms the Mazda 3 community can be broken down into three groups when it comes to wheel fitment. Group one consists of those who are quite vehemently opposed to stretched tires and shudder at the thought of camber outside of factory spec, while group two consists of those who are not afraid of making significant body modifications to push fitment to the limit of the chassis.

WTF Friday: Well now you’ve gone and done it.

DaveT -
PT Cruisers never really looked good, I mean they don't look as bad as the Aztec and are not quite as impractical as the SSR, but all in all looking back at them I don't think there are many who would say they are a great looking vehicle. Good on Chrysler for making eventually making a turbo version to at least try and give them a little more of an appeal.

Event Coverage: 2012 CSCS Round 3 Part 2

DaveT -
Continuing where things left off yesterday today's coverage consists of  the cars that caught my eye in the pits along with coverage of the show and shine. The Round 3 show and shine was actually a lot larger than these pictures illustrate but once the weather took a turn for the worse I focused my efforts more on track coverage and staying dry.

Event Coverage: 2012 CSCS Round 3 Part 1

DaveT -
Leading up to the second ever Canadian Sport Compact Series stop at Mosport Raceway the CSCS staff  announced that both time attack and open lapping were full, and at the same time they let everyone know that there was a $500 prize for the largest show and shine team. Combined these two factors lead to a very busy day at Mosport last Sunday, even after the rain tried to cool things down for everyone in attendance.

Theme Tuesday: Muscle Part II

DaveT -
I mentioned in my last Performance Improvements article that as a wee lad the first time I noticed stance of any sort was on a muscle car. The exaggerated forward rake that was in at the time made it stand out amongst all the factory cars I was used to seeing and it was the first time I realized I didn't much care for stock height.

Event Coverage: 2012 Majestics / Luxurious BBQ

DaveT -
A couple weeks ago Rob from Perfromance Improvments let me know that I should check out the Majestics/Luxurious lowrider BBQ  at St Marie Curtis Park West. Generally the word "Lowrider" is more than enough to get me to come to an event but when you throw in the word 'barbecue' along with it I am there in a second.

WTF Friday: Business In The Front, Party In The Back

DaveT -
I've made no effort in hiding my love for LS motors in all things with four wheels and as such here is another. While this may not be the only LS1 Astro floating around the net it is probably the closest to stock in appearance I have ever seen, running boards and all.

Event Coverage: Fleetwood Cruize In Part 2

DaveT - 2
Continuing the Fleetwood Country Cruize In coverage from Monday I have got 40+ more photos of classic, mostly American, metal to share with the class. This show being my first outdoor classic show of 2011 might have spoiled me and set the expectations a little high for the rest of the year but I am still looking forward to checking out more classic events. As I have said again and again my favorite part about the classic events is the atmosphere and the conversations I have with the car owners, many of which who have owned and worked on their cars for longer than I have been alive.
