WTF Friday: Turn down the suck

To most people putting a big blown motor into a Chevy Corvair doesn't make a whole lot of sense (considering it was included in the book "Unsafe At Any Speed") but to at least one builder in the 70s it made perfect sense. Presumably using the logic that if you have to steer a whole lot in a quarter mile you are probably already in trouble Richard Guess stuffed a blown 327 in the his '72.

Kia

Last year, in the Nextmod BBQ event coverage, I got called out by a local Kia Soul owner for hardly ever posting Kias. This struck me as odd because the SIE support vehicle (aka my girlfriends car) and I have actually looked into lowering but the aftermarket support for that platform is just so limited which is why most stay stock and thus don't appear here.

Stance Pilipinas

I love when international readers send in their rides (the further away from Canada and the US the better) because it is always cool to see which trends make it internationally and which don't. Bruce and Jay from the Philippines recently sent in some photos of their rides along with a few of the people in their crew and they are quite nice.

Theme Tuesdays: Wheels Are Everything Artistic Interpretations

It seems that everyday a new car blog (or fanpage) pops doing the same old song and dance; reposts from the 'heavy hitters' with soft core porn intermixed to pump up fanpage numbers. However every once and awhile I stumble across a new blog that immediately makes it's way into my reader and Wheels Are Everything is one of those blogs.

Featured Ride: Pfaff Tuning’s 964

Remember those days when you were in elementary school staring at the clock waiting for the bell to ring so you could rush home and do something far more exciting? That's exactly how I felt the day I got to shoot Pfaff Tunning's project 964. Having followed the build on their fanpage and seen pictures of it completed only a few weeks prior I was really eager not only to see the car in the metal but do one of the first dedicated photo shoots of it.

Guest Coverage: Driven Aftermarket & Performance Show 2012

Weekend posts on SIE are a rarity (I like to ride my bike) however I do make the odd exception for great content like today's guest coverage. It's not often I get a chance to share what's going on in Calgary so luckily for all of us previously featured photographer Mike McConnell happened to be at this years Driven aftermarket & performance show in Calgary with a brand new camera he was dying to test out.

WTF Friday: Twin Engine Echo

Pretty well topping my list of 'things I didn't expect to see this week ever' would have to be this twin engine Toyota Echo. I'm not currently up to date with what goes in on the Echo world but I have reason to believe that this car doesn't represent the average Echo owner especially when you consider that the car puts down 503hp at 8.5psi.

Guest Coverage: Vanfest 17

Those from out of town, or those of you who don't follow the local truck scene, might be wondering why I keep making reference to a show called 'Vanfest'. Well, despite it's name Vanfest isn't just a refuge for 'vanners' who like heart shaped windows and velour interiors, it's also a haven for minitruckers who enjoy a good party.

Stance Is Everything x Importfest

For those of you who may not already know this years Importfest takes place Saturday August 25th, and once again the IF staff have included Stance Is Everything in the festivities. Similar to previous years a trophy will be awarded for best stance but unlike last year static rides will have their own trophy and bagged rides will have their own trophy in attempts to even the playing field.

A walk around the Giovanna Booth

Alright, bare with me guys and girls, I know a lot of these cars don't really have the best stance and are just expensive cars with stock suspension and fancy wheels, however I felt if I didn't share this booth with you I would be skipping out an interesting part of the SEMA experience. And since I am doing my best to share as much of SEMA with you as I can I present the Giovanna Wheels 2010 SEMA booth.
