Just how BMW would have wanted it

Local e30 guru and the organizer of the last GTA e30 meet, Rudy, recently gave his e30 a face lift. Previously I said Rudy had what was perhaps the cleanest 325is in Toronto but now it is hands down the cleanest oem MTECH II kitted 325is in Toronto.

Theme Tuesdays: Subaru clearance sale

My Stance Is Everything folder was simply over flowing with photos of Subarus which I had a few different ideas in mind how I could break them up into a few different Theme Tuesday posts but decided to hell with it I can always collect more later. Here is a lot of AWD low.

Victoria Day Mazda 3 Photoshoot

Last week my friend Chris, from Toronto Mazda 3 gave me a shout asking if I wanted to take part in a little photo shoot/meet on the May 24 holiday Monday. Having nothing better to do I cleaned my car, grabbed my girlfriend and headed out, here are some of the resulting photos my girlfriend took of the day.

Event Coverage: Street Classics May 24 2010

Last Saturday I felt the need for a little bit of change from the super slammed, stretch tire, flush type of stance and decided to head out to the weekly Street Classics Show and Shine at Canadian Tire Etobicoke and take in some real American Metal. Since it was a long weekend the turnout was smaller than usual but 20 cars or 200 I still enjoy these shows, it's something about the atmosphere.

New URL Stickers

Quick little post today. I have redesigned the basic url stickers a little thicker so that they stand out a bit more as the original ones were a little thin and just need to ask you guys what colors you want to see them in. Go wild and the most popular colors here and on facebook will be produced. Sick.

WTF Friday: Compact Disasters

I have nothing against compact cars, if you need something to drive with the misses and are not really concerned about performance or hauling miscellaneous crap around with you then they are perfect.. However when modifying them it's best to not use a heavy handed approach but rather with a certain grace & finesse. Most certainly not with a full size body kit and a large quantity of body filler. These talented, but misguided body men decided to throw caution to the wind and go all in, here are the results.

A lot of e30

Got another quick message board find today, this shortened week combined with running around getting parts for my car means that a lot of the drafts I have written for such occasions are finally seeing the light of day. I spotted this e30 awhile back and I am still not 100% sure how I feel about it. The black helps the 'Testarossa' sides for sure, and the wheels have gobs of dish, but the small brakes behind them kind of throw me for a loop. At any rate all of the work is well done and it's nice and low.

Functional Fitment

Came across this e46 a few days ago on Max and even though the owner thinks his track wheels look tiny I'm a fan of how this e46 looks set up for the track on Apex Arc-8 17x9 (et) 42 wheels with 255s all around. At 17lbs a piece these wheels won't slow the owner down on the track either.

Keith’s the man

My friend Keith has been working on his Model T coupe for the past four or so years and last Friday the angry bastard fired up and screamed at the world. The Olds 303 in this car sounds mean as hell and I can't wait until he has it on the road, and yes I will get more pictures of it when it's up and running.

Green With Envy

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.

Featured Ride: Kingpin’s Y34

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.

Event Coverage: Drift Jam 2018 – Throwdown Round 1

Drift Jam's first competitive event, Showdown Round 1, was an unrelenting success. The weather was great, the cars were great, and most importantly the competition was on another level. With two events out the door the Drift Jam staff are already gearing up for more.

WTF Friday: Are you for serious?

I've seen and (and normally posted) quite a few crazy builds so I am getting pretty a custom to bizarre combinations of car and motor but this particular one caught me wayyyy off guard. Fabrication aside the owner/builder deserves a round of applause for just getting through the amount of hate that comes along with telling people you are going to dress a 97 Mustang Cobra in 94 Acura clothes.
