Mazda

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.

JDM rides member, xxbvanxx, hosts weekly Sunday night meets in the Square One mall parking lot here in Mississauga. This year the kick off meet was promoted about two months in advance and highly anticipated. As Sunday April 25th finally rolled around the weather looked like it could be a problem, but it eventually cleared up long enough for 200-300 cars to gather for about 20 minutes before being told to leave by the local Police department.

I saw this car in the Mazda3Forums aggressive fitment thread and immediately realized that this is the look that I am after for my car, a reasonable daily drivable amount of flush mixed with a nice stance. I have quite a few of these same mods already so I just need to get my fitment a bit more on point and I should be looking pretty legit...

On Thursday April 15th the Toronto Mazda 3 Club kicked off their weekly 'AA Thursdays' meets at Next Mod in Markham. The last time I had been to Next Mod was the grand opening and I figured that the turnout to that event couldn't be rivaled by this one but boy was I wrong.

Logan and Shawn from Full-Lock / Drift Union recently had their cars re-sprayed matching purple so that they will be hard to miss while ass out on the track. Logan was kind enough to link me to the pictures of the new paint jobs via twitter so that I could share them with y'all. Watch out for these to all over British Columbia and at this years All Star Bash.

Continuing my journey around the internet seeing what other bloggers are up to this second, and final entry, in the 'Spring is in the air' series asks the same five questions from last week to the writers of Up-Shift.net, N/A On The Run, and Full-lock.

Not too long ago I did a Theme Tuesday on DC Chassis Integras, well now it's time to throw it back to the predecessor of the DC the DA. Sadly like the DC chassis a lot of DA Integras have rotted away due to the amount of salt we use in the winter here in Toronto.

Here is part two of the Performance World coverage, I had meant to post this yesterday but the great weather (18 degrees!) meant that I worked on my car after work as oppose to hiding from the cold. Today's coverage is mostly of the import rooms of the show which were really hard to shoot being absurdly dark and cramped for some reason, anyway, here we go.

I heard on the radio last week that some official organization declared winter in Ontario over. I'm not sure if its really over but its been double digits all week and that makes me smile.

After I got in last night, from shoveling snow at my fathers place, I decided to torture myself and look at coverage from Hella Flush 3.5. I quickly found my self among the Wrong Fitment Crew crowd. After seeing a while 3 that caught my eye I ended up on SocalMazda.Net, a site dedicated to Mazda's in Southern California.

I am sure that I am not alone in noticing that roof racks have become a growing trend in VW, BMW, and Honda tuning scenes. While I am not sure how it started but it doesn't have any indication of going away. Since there are already lot of roof rack appreciation threads on the internet I figured to get a little creative with today's Theme Tuesday and only focus on cars with roof racks that have BMX bikes on them.

I got in late last night from a weekend long snowboarding trip I am a little tired and disoriented but thankfully today is a holiday. I am going to use today to catch up on some things Stance Is Everything related after I do some cleaning up here around the house. Until I get some time to write a little bit more here is two quick shots of a Mazda MX-5 dumped on some Equips.
