My friend Brad Cross of Drift Posse had this posted on his facebook and I watched it and enjoyed. DP managed to get out and film some snow drifting during our really dry winter here in Toronto and also threw in some footage from the Sweetie Girl Racing Clinic from last week, check it out.
DRIFTPOSSE.COM – The drivers aren’t the only ones shakin’ off the rust, with this being only the second, and final Cyrious Productions offseason jam to be released this year. This one’s short and sweet… most of the fellas are busier doing builds than driving this year, but now that the track days are starting to open up, it’s time to get those cars race ready and shake off that rust!!! This video Has some combined footage from the final two snowfalls we saw this winter, as well as some clips from the SGR Track Day at Cayuga, March 21st 2010.

When I was younger I wanted a camouflage BMX bike really bad, I actually took it as far as reading a tutorial on how to paint your own camouflage. Once I figured out how much labor it would take, and how much it would have cost I painted my bike solid blue.
The people with the cars today however have a lot more ambition than myself, or access to someone who can print and wrap automotive vinyl. Either or.
This just fits the look, lolThe camouflage wrapped Charger I mentioned in the introRattle canned EF, actually doesn't look too badI think this might be the second Peugeot I've posted on the siteAnother Civic, Traditional camouflage this timeThis desert camouflage Hachi looks pretty awesome Golf in non traditional camouflage colorsFall camouflage? Does that exist? Either way that look awesome.Hidden s2000Digi camouflage wrapped MitsuCamouflage gull wing, dont worry its a wrapArctic camouflage wrapped e30, not bad...Mad Mikes arctic digi camouflage wrapped Rx-7Some might say sacrilege, I say amazing.While I don't like this as much as the one above it's that bad eitherThis Camouflage A3 is probably the most popular and best looking Desert camouflage outLove the matched LMsLooks like he has a full show display as well
I wonder if this look is on the rise or on the decline? Hmmm do we need more of this?
Accords have really be coming into their own lately among the stance crowd. A car which was historically seen as the older, more conservative brother of the Civic is finally starting to get the respect it deserves as a platform, that in the right hands, can hang with the best of them.
Hailing from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Malik bought his Accord brand new in 2007 as a way to escape the lure of the street racing scene and has been transforming it into a head turner ever since.
Soon after purchase Malik started his modifications off fairly conservatively by upgrading the headlights and fog lights by retro fitting HID units and before he knew it the mod bug was fully taking over.
Tuckin tire
In his hunt for the perfect stance Malik went through a variety of different suspension setups initially the car was lowered on Tien S-techs, then Eibach Sportlines, and finally Nuespeed race springs.
The lip and cf hood work together well here
When none of these options delivered the slam Malik needed he picked up a set of Function Form coil overs and dropped his Accord on its knees.
I’m a sucker for a clean four door
With his suspension finally in order Malik flew through 14 different sets of wheels before landing on the 18×8 TSW Snetterton wheels currently taking residence in his wheel. However these wheels are only there until a set of flush fitting CCW Classics takes their place.
In preparation for the stunning forthcoming wheel set Malik has added a trio of Siebon Carbon fiber accessories including a hood, mirror covers and B pillars.
Once this car is flush watch out.
By the end of the summer Malik is hoping to wrap up the exterior mods by adding a carbon fiber trunk to the mix, once that happens his attention will turn to the interior where the current stock seats will be replaced with Bride units.
So far Malik is off to a great start with his Accord and with what he has in store for his ride it’s only going to get better, I hope once it’s all done Malik will send new pictures in and give me another opportunity to showcase his ride.
With the introduction of a new batch of stickers, combined with the demand of the old ones, I felt the need to open up a simple Official Stance Is Everything – Big Cartel- Store to help me keep on top of sending out orders.
The latest batch of designs is a fairly limited initial trial run but once they sell out I will restock at higher numbers with a variety of colors.
All of the stickers are die cut on automotive quality vinyl.
Original URL Stickers
The stickers that started it all: These stickers are currently available in: Pink, White, Green, Gold, Black and Gunmetal and currently stock for each color is at least four units.
Available for $2 a piece at the Stance Is Everything Store
Currently in a limited all white run of 5 units these ‘Cone Hunter’ stickers are mainly for the track/autocross crowd, but also for those who like to abduct construction and movie set cones.
Available for $4 each at the Stance Is Everything store (6"x2")
Urkel was kind of annoying but so is knocking over cones and having to pick them up. This idea came to me in the shower so hopefully it’s as funny to you as it is to me.
Also currently in a limited run of 5 white units.
Available for $4 at the Stance Is Everything store
Head over to the store and grab your stickers, and don’t worry you are not funding a turbo build or anything on my part, the cost of the stickers goes right back into making and shipping more stickers.
Thanks for the support everyone and if there is a color you would like to see next batch let me know via the comments!
I believe all car enthusiasts should attempt some level of DIY on their vehicles however one should take the time to research their project and make sure that it something that they can handle without supervision.
By no means should anyone half ass their DIY job as bad as these people…
I guess if you really need one fog light and have a motorcycle tire hanging around...I guess this would reduce trunk rattle?Wow just, wow, office supplies meet the garageNot sure how anyone could assume this is a good idea, common sense is not commonLocal caliper paint fail of epic proportions
Site Updates
To all of the bloggers I contacted earlier this month I am going to be working on “that” article this weekend so no you didn’t send me your information in vain 🙂
In addition to writing this article I will be also working on a mini feature for Monday so that’s something to look forward too as well.
I’m also going to be making steps towards launching a big cartel store this weekend as my new batch of stickers has arrived and I optimistically anticipate the demand for them will be more than I can handle just through the gmail account.
Finally site traffic has hit another milestone all by itself with no real additional promotion by me so that’s pretty rad.
Thanks again for everyone who checks this site daily, weekly, monthly, or even yearly keeps me going.
Flashback Friday
Local e30 wheel fitment guru Jay (Mystikal) is selling his 1994 Dakar Yellow m3 which he says is on stock suspension (I know shocked me too) so I figured I would throw it back to when I made a post about his Trevors now sold e30.
According to Jay the 95s sat lower and all he had to do was remove spring pads to get this stance
As it turns out while I initially thought that the drifters just showed up to this event and threw down, Anna from Sweetie Girl Racing, along side a number of other dedicated car enthusiasts in Toronto actually planned this event and are actually working towards having things like this happen more often which is always good.
Shout out to drifter Chris for giving me the heads up on this video by posting it on max and Static Motion Films for putting it together.
Last night I got to see my friend, and contributing photographer, K.Sold aka Keven Soldo perform some of his stand up comedy routine last night at a local bar. He slayed and good times were had by all.
When I got home I took a look at some photos he had taken of his friend Matt’s 2004 WRX, in it’s last days of winter mode, on the Toronto Subaru Club. Mild mannered employee by day, photographer by evening, comedian at night Keven is a triple threat!
This car is sitting on STI struts and RCE yellows and has the power to back up it’s aggressive look.
Pretty sure Keven popped this locations virginityWingless WRX's ftwI've gotta pick up a set of Hella Supertones, my stock horn sucksWe would all be fortunate if our winter modes look this good
If there is one thing that’s universal between basically everyone in the automotive community it’s that e30s kick ass, and e30 m3s even more so.
I did an e30 Theme Tuesday and now its the e30 m3’s time to shine. Tourings next?
Beautiful DTM replicaAnother shot of the same car, love the adjustable wing extensionA similar m3 stickerlessNice choice of LM color on this rideBoxy and curvy at the same time, these lines are classicLate ApexThis m3 borrowed a set of style 5sCF hood is a stark contrast but I don't mind itAnother cf hood, this one matches the wheelsDinan turbo e30 m3This e30 is v10 powered, sickDishNot a factory color, but still sick, color matching ftwI don't like the kidneys (center of the grill) but I love the flat capsLots of showand lots of goEpic fitment, epic height, epic shotI think the driver is making vroom noises with his mouth...VW better get on the gas!The hairpin in the distance looks like a lot of fun
Long time readers of Stance Is Everything might remember a post awhile back of a local Black E36 slammed on style 5’s titled “This Is How It’s Done“.
In that post I mentioned that the car would appear here again and Doogee came back hard this season after spending the winter polishing his style 5s and tweaking a few other exterior bits.
The changes this year are subtle, Bosch headlights, the return of amber taillights, and the aforementioned polishing of the epic fitting style 5s. Work was done, and it was done well.
Polished the lips on these wheels really popsFitment remains epicSo glad warm weather is coming backAmber tails replace last years clearsThis is Doogees sig on max, it kills me
Once again e36 owners I hope you are taking notes, because this is beauty.
