Gangsta 35

July 31, 2010

Finally doing a coverage of a G35 and I'm pretty much hyped up to write about this one.
Most of you guys like black cars on black rims. I gotta say the color combination is one of the most sickest ever.
The owner of this car is Kevin and he's hitting hard in the streets of 919.

For those who just got into the stance scene, you guys might ask, "how the hell can you drive being that low?" Well Kevin's G35 is an example. He's literally 1 in. off the ground and his car is looking CLEAN. So, to answer the question: go sideways near bumps, find a different route if necessary, and please..drive slowly!
There are sacrifices that need to be made and if all goes well, your car will look like Kevin's.

Props to Kevin and his car for having quality, being clean, and like always, the Stance.

Keep in mind of this Civic

Came across an 18 year old's post of his Civic in the StanceWorks forums.
The car seems finished but only 2 pictures are up.
I talked to this guy and he just needs to take more photos.
I'm going to post it up and you guys be the judge :D
Personally, this car is clean as hell and has quality + the stance.
CCW classics on a White Civic.
Make sure to check back to see a full coverage of this car in the future.

Here are the mods done to the car so far

Stance GR+ coilovers.

Unique & Clean Prelude

July 30, 2010

Clean Clean Clean Clean Clean!!!!
I've never seen such a simple but perfectly stanced and clean Prelude.
Now don't be fooled by just looking at the exterior of this car.
Although it looks very simple, there are much more to it!
Tae Sun Kim, or as people call him Tae, recently painted his car to a green color, which makes his car unique from others. I gotta say that it matches perfectly with the wheels and the car itself.
I'm not a huge fan of the color green, but this one definitely pulls it off.
Every single part of this car matches what I define as a perfectly stance'd and clean car. I've seen many Prelude's in my area and on the streets that were attractive, but this one is now my favorite out of all.

Cleanist / Sexiest Civic

July 29, 2010

Two things that I want to mention first. Cleanest / Sexiest Civic and amazing photography.
CJ Gutierrez is the owner of this 08 Honda Civic Si Sedan.
He made his first post on the WFC forums today and I was amazed with how well he managed to make his car so clean and perfectly stanced.
There are couple of Civic's that are on my list to do a coverage on, and CJ's car was an instant decision after seeing his ride.

I want to share some pics of CJ's previous setup with the SSR SP1's. Not 100% stance'd, but close

>>Make sure to click on the pics for better and higher resolution<<

White Golf on White BBS

Browsing through the VWVortex forums, I came across a clean, sick looking White 03' Golf. The owner is Chris, also known as G-magoo. I usually check the classified section because most of the Golf owners sell some sick a$$ rims and saw Chris selling his customized BBS's. Unfortunately, Chris is selling his car so no more upgrades I guess :(
BUT! I want to show Chris's ride to the stance fans out there. It's not a suprise to see this car being featured on Canibeat or other sites because it is definitely worth a coverage.
Hope this car goes to a great owner.

To help Chris sell his car, and not sure if he already did, but here is the list of mods that I directly copied from the forums:

Motor : ‘04 GLI 1.8t swap (94K on motor and chassis, swap was done 4k ago!!) w/ new water pump/timing belt, plugs and coil packs, serp. belt, every gasket but the head gasket. The motor has a GIAC X+ chip, 3in stainless steel TBE, neuspeed CAI and forge DV. Pulls very strong.

Trans : 2.0 5-spd, which has a shorter final drive than normal GTI transmissions, has a new lightened G60 flywheel and VR6 clutch ( all of these items makes this much quicker than your average chipped GTI)

Wheels : BBS RS, the fronts are 17x9 et27 w/ 205/45 falken 512’s (pictured with 10mm spacers making the final et17), the rears are 17x10.5 et24 w/ 225/45 falken 512’s. The lips are 1.5 up front and 2.5’s in the rear, gold bolts, red and gold centercaps with polished half caps (hexcaps).

Exterior : Helix OEM projector replica headlights w/ 6K HID’s, Rear euro bumper, and polished stubbie antenna, nothing too special. The exterior is not perfect mind you, the paint on the passenger side rear fender is a little brunt/chipped from the rear tire rubbing, it has dings and dents; this is my daily so don’t expect a show car. Not sure if I wasn’t to sell the roof rack with the car, you’ll have to make it worth it for me

Now to the awesome pictures!! yay!!

Old Civic but the sickest

Before I start this coverage for a sick 91 Honda Civic DX Sedan owned by Mike Bui, I want to give him mad props for what he did to his car from the beginning to today. Mike purchased this car in June of 2008 and reading his progress thread, I can see how much work and love he put into his ride. Seriously, I want to post his amazing work, BUT, because this is a coverage, i'll have to skip all of that, so check out the link at the top (click "progress thread"). From stock wheels to BBS to SSR's, his ride is currently sitting on 15x9 -2 4x100 SSR formula mesh with 195-45-15 toyo t1r's. Now don't under-estimate this car because it's an oldie. Interior, Exterior, Suspension...everything was swapped, painted, etc. to make it look like brand new. Words aren't enough, so check out the amazing pics.

Let me start with the pics of his old setup w/ BBS RS's

Drifting in the Sky

July 27, 2010

Here's a daily driven & drifting machine owned by Mathieu Turcotte from Canada. Nissan Skyline 1989 doing things right!
Seen couple of skylines online, but never seen one this clean and slammed.
I remember seeing one when I was in Korea, but was gone in a second.
Would be really awesome if I had a chance to see an old but slick looking Skyline, but checking out the pics of Matheiu's ride is good enough.
Fully built in Japan with 17" SSR Professors, this car is clean, has quality, and most importantly, the stance.
* Mathieu's GTR was featured in Speed Hunters so check them out as well.
