Event Coverage: Squeaky Clean 2011

DaveT -
After successfully running Tuners Against Street Racing for a few years Matthew M (previous feature s2k owner) decided to switch gears a bit and start a new show series called 'Squeaky Clean' aimed towards those with more subtle modifications done to their cars. The first Squeeky Clean show took place two weeks ago at JRP and even though mother nature didn't seem to fond about the idea of Matt having a show that day about 35 or so cars ended up coming out to participate in the event.

Always been a fan of this one

DaveT -
I've seen this car at a few local events and it has always stood out to me as being one of those cars that just looks "right". The owner isn't trying to push any boundaries when it comes to ride height, camber, or fitment and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Stance isn't all about specs and shock value, execution and final product play a big part and this car has been executed beautifully.

Theme Tuesdays: Air cooled Beetles

DaveT -
The 'blame' for this weeks Theme Tuesday can squarely be placed on the shoulders of previously featured photographer and current BC(?) resident Mike McConnell. After spotting the Beetle that used to be his at Oktoberfest I read through the entire build thread which left me wanting more. Since it's been a long time since I have dedicated a Theme Tuesday to this iconic car I spent some time last night pulling a quick list together.

Event Coverage: Oktoberfest 2011

DaveT -
With winter just around the corner Chop Shop decided to send the 2011 season off properly with a charity BBQ (proceeds to the Canadian Cancer Society and the Food bank) called Oktoberfest. The somewhat unseasonably nice weather lead to a great turn out and because this wasn't a show the atmosphere was super laid back which made it a great way to kill a couple of hours on a fall day.

WTF Friday: T-Tops

DaveT -
Last week I tried something a little different for WTF Friday but this week I am going back to a tried and true formula: A wild car with a crazy power plant. Or in this case a wild car with TWO crazy power plants between the frame rails. UK based Fast Car Magazine recently did a feature on this car and since I follow them on twitter it popped up in my feed and immediately blew me away.

Square peg, round wheels.

DaveT -
With all of the awesome cars I share here dedicating an entire post to my own ride almost seems out of place. It's not the lowest or most aggressive Mazda 3 but I've received far more compliments on it this year than any other and my previous sunk setup was well received so what the heck. Big thanks to Steve at Square Peg Images for picking up my slack and shooting my car for me, if he didn't take these pics I probably would have never got around to doing it this year.

Featured Ride: Kingpin’s Y34

DaveT -
Looking at this100% authentic Junction Produce Y34/M45 sitting among the rest of the Liberty VIP cars at Importfest '11 it would be easy to assume that it was an out of town car. It certainly looks the part of a car that would be right at home in the garage of a member of the Yakuza. However this beautifully modified Y34 isn't from over seas, or the United States, it is from right here in Toronto.

Theme Tuesdays: Duallys

DaveT -
Of all the lowered/dropped/slammed/sparking vehicles I have shown people not into 'the scene' the two that provoke the most reaction are vans and duallys. With Vans people just can't wrap their heads around why someone bothered to modify a family hauler and with duallys they scream bloody murder that the truck is now useless. The funny thing is 90% of these people couldn't put a dually to better use themselves so I am not sure what the big deal is, these things look great on the floor.

Featured Ride: Richie’s SLK 350

DaveT -
Real Mercedez Benz enthusiasts share very little in common with the misconceptions many have about Mercedes Benz drivers. The true enthusiasts don't have egos or attitudes and are not at all arrogant. They are simply brand loyal car enthusiasts not unlike those who are into Hondas or Fords. Minutes into a conversation with Richie it is easy to tell that he is an avid Mercdes Benz enthusiast who is also a huge fan of low tastefully modified cars.

Danio’s slammed s2000 (video)

I've posted this car before, a few times, and every event I see it at I take photos of it but not there is video which will illustrate to the rest of you who have not seen this car in person just how low this car really is. Amazing.

Is there an angle that defines a car's stance more than a profile shot? I'd think not, a bunk profile can make or break the look of any car.

Theme Tuesdays: BMW 2002s

DaveT - 7
Two BMW Theme Tuesdays in a row might be a little redundant for the non BMW fans but this is the post I was going to run last week before Rusty (sadly) died in a fire so I didn't really want to shelve it any longer and I forget all about it. The first time I opened a thread with a 2002 in it I was shocked because I was expecting a 2002 (year) BMW but what I found inside was much, much cooler.
