Multi Purpose Wheels

I've got a serious amount of photos from Tuners Against Street Racing to sort through and I knew I wasn't going to have them edited and posted before I left for work today so for this Monday morning I thought I would share what a local, female, BBS/Euro/Slam lover has been doing with her set of custom 17X9 et 20 and 17X10.5 et 28 pink BBS RS wheels. The final destination of these wheels was an e46 but they made a few different stops along the way...

WTF Friday: Poor Benz

It's not really a secret that I don't like Donks, I don't really see what there is to like about them and I'm quite thankful that around here they are few and far between. For those of you from the Southern States I feel for you as I could not imagine seeing rides like these on a regular basis, this poor Kompressor never stood a chance.

Stance Is Everything & Importfest

Importfest is coming up on it's 10 year anniversary and the organizers have asked to be a part of making this years one to remember. New for this years event, which takes place September 11th 2010 at the Metro Toronto Convention center, are 10 new trophy classes including 'Baddest Stance' which they kindly given me the opportunity to help judge. Check out the full post for more info on the new categories and to find who who's this years Miss Importfest.

The Perfect Storm?

Apologies are in order for the horribly cliche title, but I never thought I would ever find myself willingly posting pictures of a Geo Storm. I've got respect for people who work with what they've got and make use of and oddball platform and this Storm fits the bill. I can't recall the last time I saw one of these in person and this one is without a doubt the best I have ever seen.

Mini Feature: Andrew’s Next Mod Genesis

Hyundai surprised a lot of people when they released the Genesis being a company with no prior sports car platform to speak of unless you make the stretch to include the Tiburon. In 2009 it was tough to say how the car would do in regards to initial sales and aftermarket acceptance/support, however about a year or so after initial release it's fairly safe to say that the Genesis has been well received.

Clean Local EK

Toronto has it's share of clean EK's and here is another one I happened to come across on a local message board.

Theme Tuesdays: E36 Ti’s

It's about time I made good on my promise to do an e36 ti Theme Tuesday. While not for everyone (they took awhile to grow on me) with a fairly easy motor swap or the addition of some forced induction the e36ti can become quite the little monster. With the right aesthetic mods they don't look to bad either since they are really just a smooshed e36.

Slept On

With all of cars lately that have sticker covered body panels, roof racks full of whatever, rust, crazy paint and extreme amounts of stretch and poke I think sometimes people over look how great a car can look with clean paint, the right wheels and perfect stance. Julian's wagon has been one of my favorite Subaru's since the first time he sent me pictures of it, his show room clean paint, and dialed ride height allowed him to rock stock rims better than damn near anyone else and I now that he has retired his stock wheels in favor of Work 11R in 17x9 wheels his car has never looked better.

The Scraped Crusaders do Jitterbug 2010

Gilbert, Matt and the rest of The Scraped Crusaders made their way to the 24th annual June Jitterbug in Niagara Falls last weekend and judging from the pictures had one heck of a good time. Here are the photos Matt took at the show with captions written by Gilbert (the lead blogger over at The Scraped Crusaders) who's not a VW aficionado but a stance lover none the less.

Congrats to Pat Cyr For Winning the DMCC Championship

An old BMX friend of mine, turned pro drifter, has been destroying the drift scene lately with his crew Drift Posse and his AE86, made it out to the DMCC finals in Quebec where as far as I can tell via facebook Pat continued to dominate the pack as he has all year and take home the DMCC overall championship.

Mopar 6.4L Hemi Swapped Jeep Wrangler JK

Forgiato wheels, Accuair suspension, a plethora of body mods and a banging stereo Jagraj Grewal's Jeep Wrangler JK is absolutely one of a kind.

WTF Friday: I ain’t even mad

Even though this 'go kart' has a pull string throttle, bench seat (with no belts), mismatched bald tires, a frame of unknown origin, was built with 'hold my beer' mechanics, and looks to be about 8 kinds of dangerous, I'm not going to lie I kind of want to drive it. It looks (and sounds) like the motors best days are behind it anyway so what is the worst that could happen?

Event Preview: Importfest 2010

As the GTA's 2010 show season nears it's end one of the most anticipated shows of the year, Importfest, gets closer. This is a reminder to the local readers that this years Importfest (which takes place this Saturday) is the 10th anniversary of the show and therefore the organizers plan on doing it BIG with new classes, new sponsors, and new on site features.

Theme Tuesdays: Hard line Porn

The days when a series of interconnected valves would impress are long gone. If you want to build something eye catching you'd better bust out the tube bender!
