Went over to Bill's to drop off a part and since it was so gorgeous in the PNW we decided on a impromptu photoshoot.

the stance movement??

2010-02-04T12:00:00.000-08:00

As many have seen in the last few years the stance movement is growing by the hour. I myself am guilty of loving stanced cars. But it also makes you think if this trend will die out because of how ever so popular it's getting. If that makes any sense. There are hundreds of blogs about this style and hundreds of kids that dig it. I've seen some terrible examples with too much poke and stretch and I've seen some amazing ones. With all the internet sites blowing up with these cars people are starting to make some silly mods, "LOUD" mods to get peoples attention and "stand out" In my opinion this is killing the scene. I love seeing the purpose built track cars, or the very clean simply modded daily drivers just as much as I love seeing the slammed to the ground daily drivers.

Here are a few cars that may not be "stanced" in today's definition of the term but have an aggressive drop with a lot of presence.

Cant wait for summer!

Once again it has been way too long since my last post.
Just an update:
Eve has lost a header bolt and I have the worst exhaust leak, sounds terrible. I am waiting to order a stud kit from turner and new gaskets from pelican parts.

I have a few new pics that were taken at M car day hosted by Griot's Garage. Also a few I snapped after. Then there's a quick video of my exhaust, which I have straight pipes that lead to the longest Magnaflow exhaust I could find.

something different

2009-08-16T21:31:00.001-07:00

I'm really liking this car, I know its all stickered up which loses the clean aspect of a car but something to me is appealing about it. Very in your face "don't care what you say" style. Not to mention the car is slammed.

addicting

This e36 M3 belongs to a guy named Paul (darksidee36), I have loved this car for as long as I can remember. Very sexy in dakar yellow and then just awesome in British racing green. From the suspension set up to the custom m5 cooling ducts this car is just addicting to look at. I think it may be one of the most influential e36's out there.

I always forget to blog, maybe I shouldn't even have one?
Eve has been amazing, running straight pipes now and bigger spacers.

wow

2009-04-12T16:15:00.000-07:00

It's been along time since my last post.
Alot have been done to Eve. New suspension, new rear subframe mounts, new trailing arm bushings, new wheels, new tires, new look!!!!

long time..

It's been awhile. My sister came up for Christmas break from san diego and then new years party and now first week of new quarter so haven't really had the feel to post.
I got a new bike, well kinda, its a late 70's or early 80's univega nuovo sport.
It was super dirty so I polished up all the aluminum and waxed parts of the fame. I needed a new chain so I went to Greggs Cycle shop (voted best bike shop in Seattle) and got a 6 speed chain and while I was there bought some new pedals and clips. At the moment I am not doing the fixed gear conversion as this is just a cruise bike but I'm not denying the fact that I'm tempted to convert it. Sorry for the camera phone pic.

As for the Eve she is sitting cozy in the garage as the weather was pretty extreme here with a lot of snow and now rain. Hopefully it clears up next week. I did take of the sunroof and scrapped the peeling paint off, going to have to buff it out and see how it turns out. Other than that I am selling my 18in Ray Engineering Itc-x wheels hopefully soon and changing her up a little.

clean and mean

These two e36's are very nicely done.
I've always been a fan of the highrise ltw wing and both cars pull it off very well due to the reiger front splitter which balances out the larger wing. Even though the silver m3 has bbs lm reps they still look good.

Great photography aswell.

Frog waiting to pounce.

This is one badass 964 with the rear duck spoiler like the old 70's 911 2.7rs the flat black ruf wheels. It's just all around clean and mean.

20yrs still swinging

The e30 m3 is still killing it getting second in the 2008 ADAC 3-Stadte Rallye in Germany.

new kicks!

2008-11-21T23:23:00.000-08:00

My shoes arrived yesterday, they're Macbeth Elliots in cement color. I have been a fan of their shoes for quite a few years and still have my first pair. I really like the look and love the fact that Macbeth has lyrics put in by the bands that are in the Macbeth family.

I was looking through Stanley Ku's blog awhile back and this e30 m3 just looked amazing. So mean looking.

inspirations

2008-11-02T18:19:00.000-08:00

Yesterday a thread was made on bimmerforums about who has inspired you with their bmw. The thread went down fast with negativity but that made me think.. I have been inspired by all types of cars not just other E30 M3 owners. But these 8 happen to be all E30 M3's, they are for the most part simple yet utterly perfect in their own ways.

I have always searched around and found other peoples blogs to be very interesting. Today I chose to make my very own.
