Not sure why it took me this long to do a Theme Tuesday dedicated to e36s but it did, so without further adieu here is something for the e36 lovers. Warning you will see lots and lots of style 5’s in this post, but that’s not a bad thing.
I also included a few local e36s in the mix.
Local Boys
Let’s start things off with a few of the local e36 guys who are doing things right
The Infamous Project e36Beauty looking e36 I saw at the Bimmer experience in MississaugaBuddy of contributing photographer Keven SoldoThis car started as a non M but was completely converted to M status, it was recently soldThe lips on this drop are crazyDoogee is no stranger to this blogStill for sale!This owner of this car was cocky as hell and claimed the lowest e36 in Ontario for awhile...He was shortly, more humbly dethroned by this gentleman
Out of towners
As usual cars from all over the great internet
LiftinDon't always need an M bumper to look good, more people should rock BBS RCsRed on gold will never get oldGreen on green isn't bad either, really like this oneWaiting for these wheels to reappear on Seans rideIt's a damn shame that this car got destroyed, damn shameF**in bombTired of style 5s yet? No? Me eitherThis is rare, normally the white rims are dirtier than the car...Jammed on M countoursJon Sibal wad up
That’s it for now but ti fans don’t worry, I have started collecting pics for an e36ti Theme Tuesday all ready.
Today I’ve got some more photos of the s2000 and STI, along with a TSX, 350z and the Civic SI you might have seen hiding in the original s2000 shoot.
All of these cars belong to a local group called Level One and are pushing Toronto local fitment/stance scene to, pardon the pun, new levels.
My fav car of the set, no point in denying itI can almost hear the boxer burbleAll this white and not the NextMod crew? What's going on?Ti exhaust matches the color of the wheels pretty damn wellDon't see a lot of TSX's this well done around hereLow and cleanSee the K. Saun sticker on the windshield? He didn't take these pics but is shooting againVolks <3Subarus are not the only vehicles that can rock blue and goldA few people asked about this Civic so here's a better shot
Maybe it’s just me but I have always thought these cars looked like shoes, not to say they are not capable of looking good or performing well (as this post proves), but they still look like shoes.
Maybe the perfect car for a sneaker aficionado?
Murdered outThe shoe profile is really evident here, nice dish thoughLMs the be spinninNever seen this color before, pretty niceI found a lot of pics of this one sitting on Work MeistersMore of the above with an e46 hanging aroundBeing M powered these coupes can move
This is really weird, a member on JDMrides had a CF DA hood for sale that 11 people said they would but all flaked out for one reason or another. So instead of throwing it in a corner and waiting for a new buyer the seller got frustrated and filmed himself destroying the usable hood.
There is something to be said here about the western society and waste but that’s for more sophisticated blogs, here I just say WTF.
Hood before
Fitments a little funky but he could of sold it for something?I'm surprised no one wanted this for $100, I guess CF is out...
In completely un-related to automotive wtf but still pretty crazy is that it would appear as though hop flairs are taking off in BMX now…
Harry Main’s Hop Flair drop in
Craig Mast’s hop (bump jump) flair…
…and I still can’t flair 🙁
Site Updates
Got a feature in the works soon with a local lifestyle blog on a car that should start quite a few conversations so I am really looking forward to that.
The facebook fan like page is at 150 people (at posting this) with only 11 being my friends so thank you to everyone else who has signed up.
Eventually I plan to do some exclusive FB content there to make it a little bit more enjoyable.
Flashback Friday
This is the car that REALLY changed my view on stance and one of the first posts I ever made here…
When I was working on last weeks e30 touring Theme Tuesday I came across this really nice e30 coupe. These pictures are nowhere near new since I have seen them before (2001 2002 maybe?) but I don’t like this car any less now than I did then.
This e30 just goes to show how far ahead Europe was (and arguably still is) and that nothing is new these days just old stuff done differently.
I'm not sure how many other cars this mustard/gold color would work on For all you color keyed rim fans this one is for youPerfect pull on the rear fenders, and the vent in the front fender is very subtleCloser thought of that custom fender vent, which seems like a newer additionThe interior borrows some e36 seatsAs well as some underhood e36 M bitsI think the e30 down and out sticker was based on this car...
I’m going to assume these pictures originally came from e30.de but I found them on vortex.
I’m not sure what’s going on so far this year but I sure hope it continues as this is the third clean, local, s2000 I am posting in the past two weeks. Last year I can’t really recall devoting a post to even one.
Some say this could be lower but I think it's perfect for getting work done on and off the trackI love the fact that this car is flush with meaty tiresFalken Azenis poking out of that front fender, flawless lip fitment alsoLittle bit of help via fender flares to get all that tire and rim to fitIf your wondering it's still a bit chilly here hence all the tops up photos
The STI…
If I had to choose one car today it would be the STI no offense to the s2k owner but I love Subaru STI’s!
Oh our front plate law, how I hate theeCF voltex diffuser is ballinLove this shot here, those advans show of the Brembros quite wellThe beauty of all wheel drive
If the past two weeks have been any indication of the caliber of cars that are coming out of the GTA this summer than it’s going to be a hot one, I can’t wait.
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.
Essentially every message board and car ‘club’ in the GTA had heard about this event which made for what could have been one of the biggest free, spontaneous, meets I can remember going to since the days of the ‘Rona’ meets in Woodbridge.
Had we been allowed to stay it could have been a pretty good meet but with the tomfoolery that eventually went down it’s not hard to see why we got the boot (see list of things not to do at a meet at the bottom of this post).
The most ironic thing about the Police kicking us out is something that JDM rides member Pistol Pete said:
I find it hilarious the 5-0 wanted us to leave, Because you know….having 300+ cars on the road is much better then having them all parked in one spot.
It’s funny cause it’s true, anyway, enough talk for now, here are some pics:
I took this shot when I arrived...and a few minutes laterNice lookin EK coupeSkylineBee RI like early SuprasThis e46 owner whos name I forget asked me to take a few pics of his car so ISince everyone was leaving around us it was hard to get a good shotIf you see this man i will get better shots next time...Took me awhile to realize I saw this same Civic at the Next Mod TM3 meetEveryone making their way to the exitClean lookin Teg I caught leaving the first spotWet second spot, I jetted after this
What not to do at a car meet (if you don’t want to blow out the spot)
-Race into/out of the parking lot
-Pop your blow off valve every 2 seconds (ya you’re boosted we get it)
–Blast Beamer Benz, Bentley or any other commercial drivel (actually don’t blast anything at the meet itself)
-Leave your alarm on if it’s super sensitive to bass/exhaust (as people ignore the things above and will set it off over and over)
-Chirp other people or the cops when hidden by the anonymity of being in the crowd (tough)
-Act like your car makes you better than anyone else there
-Sit on / lean on / suspension push test anyone’s car without permission
-Be a douche
It would be really awesome if one day the ‘tuner/jdm’ crowd had a weekly free place to meet like the Applewood Plaza muscle car crowd does but as long as a few idiots keep doing the things above it’s not going to happen any time soon.
I’m going to admit something today, I know next to nothing about Mitsubishi’s, however I do know when a car looks good (at least I think I do), so with little more than a love for nice/mean looking cars and an internet connection I complied today’s Theme Tuesday of proper looking Lancers/Evos.
This lancer looks like the perfect match between form and functionEvo front ends are so aggressive.Looks like Volks are popular among the Mitsu crowdI'm sure this car is in some small childs nightmares somewhere...Chrome/high polish works well with whiteSee what I mean?The storm trooper look is tough to beatHeh, always sucks when someone walks into an otherwise perfect shotLooks like a murdererWhen something goes wrong send both feet in and hope for the bestCCW warehouse, dreams are made thereStunitin on emThis is one awesome photo.
Some of you might remember this e46 m3 I threw up awhile back in a post titled “Just Right“.
Well this time a non M owner has come through to show us that with this chassis sometimes less is more.
Every modification done to this car has been executed with the oem plus look in mind and therefore the final look is nothing but class.
All oem body additions herePSS 10s bring this car downWhile the wheels are VMR V713s at 19x8.5 front and 9.5 rear......with a spacer assisted offset of 30 all around
The owner of this believes that he has struck the perfect balance between daily driver, head turner, and occasional track rat and by looking at these pictures and *mods list I am inclined to agree.
*Mods:
-OEM MTech2
-Bilstein PSS10
-VMR V713 Wheels, 3.62 LSD
-Smoked LEDs/Corners/Sides
-Gruppe M Style Intake
Shadowline Trim
-Matte Black Kidneys
-OEM M3 Steering Wheel.
It looks like Toronto area s2000 owners have something to prove because this is the second s2000 I have found in as many weeks sitting on dope ‘real’ wheels.
The background in this shot really makes this clean car pop.Someone noted on JDM rides that these wheels look like g35 fitment, they work here thoughPoke, nice Civic in the bg tooI wonder where these photos were taken...That shopping car in the back matches the paint haha! In all seriousness amazing wheels
