Theme Tuesdays: BBS LM Appreciation Part 2

BBS LM's are an amazing looking wheel with a design that never goes out of style. Some might say the LM is played out but I would rather go with timeless, BBS is one of the few wheel manufacturers with a near flawless record of putting out designs that are versatile, unique, sought after, and often imitated but never duplicated. I did a BBS LM appreciation post last year and the time as home for me to do it once again, hope you don't mind.

Team Nextmod 2010

Nextmod is a great tuning shop here in the GTA, and it's one of those places that whenever you go not only are you likely to run into someone you know, but there is also a good chance you will have leave with less in your wallet than when you arrived. The owner, Peter, is an active member of the local tuning community and often holds meets and free barbecues at the shop. When he emailed me a few days ago with pictures of his 2010 team I realized that Next Mod's really got quite the trio going: dope shop, awesome meet spot, and an excellent line up of cars.

The game reaches new lows

Mike Burroughs, over at Stance Works, isn't a person afraid of breaking new ground, as I am sure you guys already know based on what he has done with rusty, this is also very much apparent done with his freshly finished one of a kind s54 powered e36 which has already been posted on both HellaFlush and Speed Hunters. However with all of the coverage his e36 getting I think a lot of people are over looking the fact that with this build he has spurred the development of small number, high performance, AST coil over setups designed for handing well, while being low.

WTF Friday: Just throw it in four low

When I first saw these pictures it took a little while for me re realize what was going on. My brain struggled with the fact that someone drove on public roads like this. I really wish there was video to go with it, imagine the stopping distance?

Taking it back to Cali again, this time courtesy of Adam who is the owner of two clean, low rides. The first one is a Euro while the second is classic California Sunday cruiser. New school or old school Adams got you covered.

For those not on facebook or part of the 'like' page page here is some of what you are missing out on.

Theme Tuesdays: Mercedes Benz 190e

Being a competitor of the ever loved e30 m3 in the DTM days I initially thought that this Theme Tuesday would practically pull itself together. However I was wrong and it actually took a lot longer than I thought to get a decent collection together. But after a few days I was able to get something going, hope you enjoy.

Soupra

While pulling together yesterdays post I came across this Supra that I felt was deserving of a post all it's own. It's a single turbo MKIV from Scotland that is currently sitting on BC Racing coils and rolling on 18x9.5 and 18x11 Work Meisters.

Front Rear Sedan

Normally I let Theme Tuesday posts stand alone but I'll make an exception today for this awesome home grown build by Liam of Dorimoto. Locals will probably remember Liam best for the 240 he used to slide around Cayuga and Mosport at previous CSCS drift competitions but that car has now been returned to the earth and now he's moved onto next.

Oliver’s Travels: Star Gazing

Ollie sent me photos of this Starlet some months ago now but since I only recently started properly sorting out his submissions it stayed buried in my inbox. I initially thought this was just another awesome modified Starlet (snapped by talented photographer Patrik Karlson) but a little digging revealed it was much more than that.

The Beauty In The Struggle Of Building Cars

Though it is often depicted as such building a car isn't easy. But the beauty in that struggle comes with knowing more at the end than you did when you began.
