Random Dope

I have this friend Josh who I talk to about cars quite a bit, you might know him as the guy who has a slight obsession with Honda Odysseys. In my latest effort to get him into American cars I have been sending him ones in Japan. He still seems pretty indifferent to most American builds but he did send me a link to this one so maybe it is working on a subconscious level.

Last night while checking up on a few builds on the Stance Works forums I came across this quote by Mr. Burroughs: Silver, Gold, or polished. Those are the gentleman's wheel color choices.

In the 'Four On The Floor?' Theme Tuesday I posted a Nissan 300C lowrider hittin a three at a gas station followed by Datun 200L with interesting rear window vinyl also paused on three. Then later I dedicated an entire Tuesday to strictly non traditional lowriders. After doing those posts I didn't think I would come across another, different, Nissan on wires but here we are.

I was at the new Performance Improvements Etobicoke location last night conversing with Rob about future issues of their magazine (and my involvement) when Jeff Norwell's Diamond Deuce came up. To be able to transfer an idea to paper, and then reality, with such precision is something I really wish I was capable of.

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.

There isn't anything wrong with a simple clean e36, and this is a simple clean e36 I've been meaning to share for awhile. Posted online in January I've found myself looking at these pictures time and time again (thanks to never closing the tab) and admiring the owners taste in modifications.

As I'm sure many of you know I put off the Turbo Dodge Theme Tuesday for as long as possible because it was hard to pull together and I wasn't sure the juice was worth the squeeze. However had I known that posting a few snail equipped Mopars would lead to my first introduction to this Stingray I would have done it a hell of a lot sooner.

I'm pretty sure not everyone is going to like this car and that's alright because I am almost absolutely positive the owner doesn't care, and I just like to see just what kind of cars I can get away with posting before one of you has me committed (or at the very least disconnects my internet). According to -273 before this car became what it is today it started as some kind of 50s Ford.

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.

As many of you would suspect I normally have quite a few tabs open at any given time, usually consisting of various forums, flickr accounts, blogs and vimeo pages. When things get to the point of scrolling excessively side to side I like to clean house and close a few tabs down. Last night I was doing just that when I came across a tab containing this rabbit which was opened lord knows how long ago.

It's been... ages since there was a guessing game WTF Friday and because as the audience for the site grows it has become harder, and harder, to find vehicles that people don't recognize right away. However I think this 'creation' *might* keep a few of you guessing.

With their chunky twist on the classic five spoke the Borbet Type A is a wheel that people love as much as they hate. Personally it took me a long time to warm up to the raised center caps, but after pulling this post together I realized that like everything else it all comes down to sizing and application.
