Theme Tuesday: Hydraulics, No Wires

DaveT -
Last week in jest I made the following comment when posting that clean Fiesta: "when was the last time you saw a car with hydraulic suspension that didn’t have wires?" After reading that a few people on the fan page urged me to look a little harder into the land of hydraulic (or Hydropneumatic) suspension to broaden my horizons. So I did. While I had guessed a few people outside of the traditional lowrider community were dabbling in the land of juice I was surprised to see how widespread the use of hydraulics is over a variety of platforms.

Green With Envy

DaveT -
Two weeks ago sifting through what seemed like endless amounts of Hot Import Nights coverage I stumbled across a photo in my reader posted by eyegasmic cars that caught my eye. Intrigued I set out to find the original photo and more on the car. After tracking down photographer Scott Kroeker I was able to not only get permission to re-post the photos but also obtained the contact information of the builder Brent.

WTF Friday: When Air Tanks Explode

DaveT -
There is a build thread I am reading on Stance|Works (one of the better threads of late) that talks about unorthodox tanks for air ride setups. The original posters plan was to run a multiple piece rectangular tank stack and there has been a lot of helpful (key word) discussion about how he should go about doing so safely. Many mentioning the importance of pressure testing the tanks to avoid blow outs like this.

Readers Rides: Email Edition

DaveT -
There has been a steady increase in the amount of previous, under construction, and current readers rides that have arrived via email over the past six months. As most of the past readers rides posts have focused on cars from the fan page I decided to dedicate this one strictly to cars that have shown up in the [email protected] inbox. This is by no means all of them, and I plan to do a few more of these before the winter is over.

Bounce and Boom

DaveT -
This Mk5 Fiesta is one of is one of the more unique builds I have come across this month and part of this is because we don't get this flavor of Fiesta in North America. However, the rest of the reasons I like this car have nothing to do with this cars availability to me and everything to do with the owners choice in modifications. For example when was the last time you saw a car with hydraulic suspension that didn't have wires?

Theme Tuesdays: Classic American Trucks

DaveT -
I've been posting the odd classic truck (50s to early/mid 80s) both here and on the fan page for the past few months but for whatever reason I have never really posted them in mass. Today is the the day I change that. Quite a few of these trucks are fat fender Chevys or squared up C-10s but don't take that as a sign of me being a Chevy over Ford guy.

Håll Classy

DaveT -
Provided the fine folks at Google have their act together 'Håll Classy' means stay classy in Swedish and Alexander Lindquist (of Sweden) has done a excellent job of staying classy with his W124 200E Mercedes Benz. Once he took care of the generous factory wheel gap Alex mounted a set of pristine looking 17x8 RH zw1 wheels that are a great match to this cars factory two tone paint.

WTF Friday: Rotary Isetta

DaveT -
Surprisingly this is the second crazy Isetta to get WTF Friday honors here on Stance Is Everything, the first was a crazy mash of worlds Isetta 500 that had a P51 Mustang (airplane) motor driving the wheels. Today's is slightly tamer borrowing its power plant from an 87 Mazda RX-7. Another important difference between the two builds lies in the budget. One is unknown and the other was limited to 2010 dollars as that was one of the requirements of the Grass Roots Motorsport Challenge that it was was built for.

3SDM

DaveT -
UK based wheel company 3SDM has been forwarding me both studio shots of their wheels and mounted shots for a couple of months now but the most recent use of their '0.01' wheels was the first to really catch my eye. Kind of unavoidable given the color these wheels are painted, but custom orange finish aside the concave of these 18x9.5 wheels suit this 'dub well. Though a car this low and clean you could probably slap Ronal Bears on it and I might like it.

Event Coverage: 2010 Gumball 3000 Toronto

DaveT - 13
I could have called this 'Event Coverage: Rich People Envy' because after I left Yorkville, where the Gumball cars cruised to in Toronto, I was fairly jealous of what all of the Gumball participants get to do. Driving from city to city in a 'rally' and stopping off at local tracks and party hot spots and having enough money have to care about things going wrong is every automotive enthusiasts dream.

Why I want a Subaru #141312

DaveT - 13
I Found this Subaru on bikeguide, a bmx message board, with no link or info. Google searching Eric Tong, and Joe Dantone lead me their respective facebook pages where I noted that these photos were taken in October of 2010. While that doesn't make this photo set new by any means, there is simply no way I couldn't post photos of this car. The exterior is clean, the stance is on point and the photographers captured the car beautifully.
