Dropped

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
