Theme Tuesdays

RWB has undeniably become one of the most popular Porsche Tuners (at least on the internet) in the past few years. While out with some friends the other night RWB came up over wings and beer and each of us picked a favourite of Naki-Sans creations. Well... Erik and Aidan were able to choose a favourite I personally couldn't settle on just one.

I've been dropping hints that this Theme Tuesday was coming for awhile now and I've finally pulled together a collection I'm happy with (at least for a part one). Most of these pictures come from hanging around the H.A.M.B. and the Yellow Bullet forums where they love cars new or old that can put their front wheels in the air via monstrous amounts of torque.

After last weeks Winter Wednesday featured the first Avant in this post long time reader Phil was practically begging for me to post more Avants here on SIE. Being the nice guy that I am I've decided to honour his request.

I promised this Theme Tuesday to a local matte black Audi driving friend of mine a few months ago and today I am finally making good on that promise. I've made an effort to include a nice variety in here to hopefully avoid some flying tomatoes from the 'can't believe people like ruined rally cars' crowd.

After SEMA I took a serious liking to C10s, I mean I have always enjoyed them on some level, but after seeing Brad Commer and Chris Smith's pro touring trucks I took a real liking to them. Not to mention all of the other ones literally sitting on the floor both inside and outside of the Las Vegas Convention Center. At the time I held back on this Theme Tuesday because I was posting a lot of trucks.

Posting the AW11 MR2 yesterday, along with a car I saw Sunday night, made me realize that there has never been a Theme Tuesday devoted to riveted on overfenders. A smooth wide body will always have it's place, but there is something to be said for the lasting industrial appeal of over fenders. Done right they can often be the modification that really sets a car apart while enabling the use of generously proportioned wheels and tires.

I've started and stopped this Theme Tuesday probably over ten times no with each attempt getting derailed due to my automotive attention deficit disorder. To help get things on track I asked Ollie for some help and together we were able to get this one done.

About a month ago the idea to do a follow up to the fairly well received 'Old School Minitruck' Theme Tuesday began to creep into my head but it wasn't until I came across The Coalition of OG Minitruckin on facebook that it really came together. After almost immediately losing an hour of my day upon discovery, I sent the page admin an email and we agreed that it's been far too long since some OG (traditionally styled) minitrucks have been posted on Stance Is Everything.

Starting out purely as a way to put more power to the ground the gasser stance is easily one of the most iconic and recognisable in all of Motorsport and going this long without doing a Theme Tuesday dedicated to another one of the many pioneers of stance is almost sacrilegious on my part. Thankfully with some contributions from Ollie, pictures I had on hand, and a few bookmarks, pulling this one together didn't take all that long.

People from New Zealand love their rotaries and if one of my co workers is any indication they also love their Mini's so if you look at it from that angle this combination of Mini body, custom chassis, and Mazda heart makes perfect, logical, sense. Hell even if it didn't make perfect logical sense the end result is so phenomenal that it doesn't matter.

It's been awhile since the last RSX Theme Tuesday (so long I actually forgot I ever posted it) so it's time to give the DC5 chassis another kick at the can. One thing I realized while doing this post is that RSX owners really, really like RPF-1s.

Fast Five was on the other day and while I was watching Vince drive a Pantera into the desert sunset it occurred to me that I don't post nearly enough Panteras on this site. It's no secret that I am a fan of the Countach-era cheese wedge designed cars, nor is it a secret that I like gas guzzling American motors, so the Pantera will forever be near the top of my favourite cars ever built list.
