      Theme Tuesday: Rig shots

      A couple weeks ago, in the "Rolling Shots Part 2" Theme Tuesday I made mention of the fact I was working on an all rig shot themed post. After searching a few forums I have come up with the following collection of photos. You will probably notice that many share the same watermark and that's because those who take rig shots well take them often.

      Don’t worry be happy

      Owning an 04 means that my car is now a senior Mazda 3, previously wasn't really too noticeable as the differences from 04-08 are fairly subtle, however now that the 2010's are out and running around this means that my car is officially old news. Looking at the 2010s though it's hard to be bummed about owning a geezer car because not only am I used to it but the younger happier sibling to my car takes very well to modifications as the following Toronto Mazda 3 members have shown.

      Supermade does it again

      The guys over at Supermade must have a Corrado resource I don't know about because this is the second one that they have posted this week that's made me stop in my tracks and throw up a post These Mercedes Benz AMG wheels, though large, look right at home on this Corrado with the height it's at, I'm really feelin it.

      WTF Friday: Allison powered Opel GT

      I found this crazy contraption in one of my new favorite threads on VW Vortex, the Insane or Unique motor swap thread. Personally I love when cars are transformed into motors on wheels using power plants that were never meant to power something as small and humble as an automobile. The internet legend would have it that this 1970 or so Opel GT got hit by a train and instead of ending up in the junk yard for the rest of it's days an unknown Ohio inventor got a hold of it and put an early P-51 Allison v-12 in the back of it.

      An army of Eks

      Emilio aka b20bomber on jdmrides aka the man behind the lens at TWOLITREmedia was a photographer part of an EK Hatch photo shoot last weekend after HT7. All of the cars in the shoot look amazing, and really speak to the quality of Toronto's current EK scene. Additionally the pictures themselves are of top notch quality.

      The latest from Cyrious productions

      I survived the move, the lifting, and the sketchy U-haul, but I still have lots and lots of stuff left to do around the house. In between lifting, unpacking and cleaning I am going to edit my photos from yesterdays Honda-Tech 2010 (should be up this evening) but as much as your employers would like I can't leave you guys without something Monday morning so here is the latest effort from Dan Cyr 10 minutes of awesome drift coverage featuring his brother Pat and the rest of the pack from the DMC.

      Euro Rods

      To hold you guys over until I get a chance to start rolling out my CSCS coverage here are some Euro Rods courtesy of 'go kart tire fitment ,ollie'. Ollie admits that he is not the biggest fan of traditional America Rods (because they typically don't handle well) but he is a big fan of these. I have not see a whole lot of euro rods before so I enjoyed these, hopefully you do too.

      Random Dopeness: Volume 5

      I've had some issues before with scheduled posts and since the week before and after my move might be kind of hectic I thought I should probably get the bugs worked out before hand. If all goes to plan this edition of Random Dopeness should go up as I am at the Next Mod 1 year anniversary meet. *crosses fingers* Well it didn't go to plan and this is one week late, better late than never!

      Slammed at work

      These past few weeks at work have been pretty wild, the entire department has been busy and I've been slammed with a bunch of time sensitive projects. I'm not complaining because though because it's better to be too busy than not at all as far as work is concerned. Drawing inspiration from being slammed at work here is a quick post of an Accord slammed on Works.

      WTF Friday: Batman Returns

      Last year I posted up a couple photos of Batman styled Porsche 944 I saw at the Cruisn' for The Cure car show, and at that point I thought the owner was done with the theme being firmly established. It would appear that I was wrong as the owner continued work on his Porsche by adding a few more details to the mix, most notably the winged flares.

      Hatch Life

      I've had these two hatches on my hard drive for awhile now and even though they are from complete opposite ends of the spectrum modification wise I decided to post them together. Now if I could only remember where I found them...
