Message Board Finds

Remember the J-32 powered, Worked 905, Honda Civic I posted in the 'Unique Local Motor Swaps' Theme Tuesday? The same one I saw at Honda-Tech 6 and Vagkraft last year and the same one that was featured on The Chronicles and in the pages of Honda Tuning? If none of this rings a bell click here for quick reminder.

Making one car look like another is fairly hard (unless you start with a Fiero) so I am not sure why companies keep presumably mass marketing kits to do so, furthermore I'm really perplexed as to why the figured to manufacture these kits for 4th Gen Camaros. Perhaps because this gen of Camaro was kinda meh? Regardless I don't think any deserve to end up a little confused like this one.

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...

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.

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.

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

It's been awhile since we've have played the guess this car game and as soon as I saw this car it would make a perfect candidate. Having been interested in cars most of my life it's fairly rare for me to come across a model of car by manufacturer I have never heard of before (kit cars aside). Noah and Phil are normally pretty good at posting models of cars I have never seen before so chances are they might have an idea what it is, and so might Ollie as he knows his fair of oddball cars as well. Regardless this contest is open to all of my readers and if you figure out what today's car is you win your choice of url stickers, let's get to guessing.

I have always loved good graffiti, not crudely draw penises and crappy tags, but large murals full of vibrant color and intricate designs. When I look at these pieces I wonder how much time goes into them and how they evolve. It's probably very similar to building car, some artists go in with an end goal in mind while others just wing it and see where they end up. Maybe this is why cars and murals seem to go together so well, thankfully Toronto has lots of great murals which more often than not they can serve as an awesome backdrop for great looking cars. Which they have done today for a pair of Subarus.

As much as I love slammed Miatas today's collection of Mazda roadsters caught my eye because judging by the way these cars are set up it's safe to assume that they do a lot more than hard parking and actually take these cars out to the track. If your building a car to tear up your local track and the ride height you need for that leaves you with some fender gap that's alright by me. Just go fast to make up for it, real fast.

I saw this beast of an M3 on bikeguide.org first and it really took me by surprise since normally I don't really feel much either way about this model m3. I was only further impressed by this car when I found the build on build-threads.com. Any company looking to do a big budget build should take inspiration from IND because this is how it's done right. None of that gaudy over the top chock full of decal nonsense, keep it clean.

The local JDMrides crowd is no doubt well aware of the type of cars Worked 905 produces, and the amazing pictures that Kevin Saunders shoots, but for those of you from out of town you are in for a treat. Today's combination of amazing cars & photography is simply stunning. All of these pictures were taken walking distance from my house and I have seen all of these cars out and about in my local hood as well.
