StanceMiami Meet Hosted by EliteRoads Coverage

Photographers: Kevis Mulchan, Donato Dellapi, Michel Mulchan, Danny Gonzalez, Jordan Mulchan

We bring you coverage from our very own StanceMiami Meet. Held at EliteRoads in Fort Lauderdale on May 4th 2013, the StanceMiami Meet was our first of many events that we plan on doing. This event included food trucks, $40 alignment specials, live DJ, giveaways, etc. We expected to fill the EliteRoads property with cars, but about  2 weeks before the event we realized it was going to be way bigger than we anticipated as people from all over south Florida showed interest in attending. We ended up packing the parking lot, and 3-4 blocks in every direction around EliteRoads with hundred of cars and thousands of people. I've been told by many that this is maybe one of the biggest meets held in Florida. There was great diversity in the cars that came out from rat rods, euros, jdm, domestics, exotics, rucks, and everything in between. Also, we had lots of good, quality builds out there. We are so thrilled it was a huge success and want to give shout outs to our sponsors/partners/vendors who came out to support. Vossen Wheels, Signature Customs Wraps, K3Projekt, Underground Euros, Ibe Stamped, Dipworks Inc., Rodspeed, XO Luxury, Ruff Racing Alloy Wheels. Last but not least huge shout out to EliteRoads for helping us host our first event. Don't worry, we have something else in the works...stay tuned and thank you all for your continued support. Video coverage COMING SOON...

Steve's Mazda Speed 3

Photographer: Joey Newcombe Written: Ariel Mulchan

Steve Strickland, from Tampa, FL, has worked hard on creating his vision for this 2007 Mazda Speed 3. In the making since 2008, Steve had the incitement to drive his daily like he had never driven it before. His goal? He wanted a rarefied ride that he could enjoy inside and out.

Steve has been working on the car piece by piece and, like any true car enthusiast, isn't sure it'll ever be completely done. The work wasn't easy, though. With limited pickings for this car, Steve was challenged to find and install parts that would be adequate no matter what direction he took with the build. Additionally, Steve faced the specific challenge of finding balance between efficiency and horsepower due to the car's DISI direct injection fueling system.

Favorite Car: Steve doesn't have a favorite car, but says, "I love all makes and models. I would have a hard time picking just one if I had the money to build or buy it." Steve's favorite sites for parts and inspiration are www.streetunit.com, www.mazdas247.com, and www.mazdaspeedforums.org. At the moment, Steve has no current plans for the Mazda Speed 3, but instead is focusing on his wife's GS300. Steve expects this build to be done by next year sometime and hopes to move on to a third build as a personal project.

Shoutouts: Steve would like to thank: Cullen Mariacher and the entire SURE motorsports crew for all their help with his performance needs and knowledge of the platform, Randi Bentia of PAS magazine for all the audio/video equipment and opportunity to display the car at formula D WPB, Matt Meisenbach, Bill Hock and the staff at MCOR automotive for the top-notch work and craftsmanship they put into the SONY install, as well as all my friends who helped with installs and part swap outs throughout the build.

Ivan Mejia from Ft. Lauderdale, FL spent about 4 years building this 1994 Honda Civic EG6.

For now, Ivan has pacified his Civic dreams, but may have plans to do a K Series Swap and paint the car over in the future.

Ivan's favorite place for parts, ideas, and research are SKUNK2 and VMS RACING. Although Ivan has been dreaming up this build for quite some time, his dream car is actually a Porsche Panamera. Special thanks for this build go out to Ivan's girlfriend and friends.

There’s nothing like a new set of wheels! That’s exactly what Simone Brown from Margate, Florida thought when she got her hands on a brand new 2013 Nissan Sentra SR.

Inspiration for the build started to flow when Simone began seeing all of the FortuneMinds  cars and immediately wanted in. Not taking no for an answer, she began to plan her build. As a brand new model, parts for this Sentra were not readily available, forcing Simone to get creative. Simone spent her time wisely, ordering parts and customizing the build even before she had the keys.

After a month of being immersed in researching ideas to perfect this beauty, Simone’s ride was finally complete. As a classy and sleek final product, it just goes to show you, there’s nothing like that of a woman’s work.

Mods in Detail:

• M45 projectors retro fitted in OEM Headlights(The first and Only Sentra in the States with them)
• 8k H.I.Ds
• V-line front lip
• OEM polish Nissan door sills
• OEM Nissan puddle lights kit
• OEM interior accent lighting kit
• 370z exhaust tip
• Mild rear fender pull

Wheel/Suspension Setup:

• Maya outers
• Custom Hello Kitty center caps
• Nissan Sylphy Megan springs

Shout Outs: Nax Whitmore, FortuneMinds, EmeraldPerformance, Slammered Inc.

Dream Car and Why?: I like big body cars, like the 2013 LS460 F (speed and luxury, and it just looks mean).

Alejandro Martinez from Miami brings us this stunning '03 Nissan 350z. If you had the opportunity to see this car in person, your head would definitely be turning. Martinez's Z has come a long way ever since he bought it 4 years ago. Still an ongoing build, he is constantly making tweaks to get it as close to perfect as possible.

Being more into the fast life, Alejandro started hearing about the hellaflush scene. That's when He decided that the aggressive look and character it gave was the look he was going to shoot for. After saving his pennies, he gathered up enough to buy a set of coilovers and some Varrstoen wheels to go along with that. Martinez felt he had to move away from that look as he came across Enkei's and some other ideas for body work. After a total of 5 months of no driving and much hard work in order to finish the body, the perfect fitment was created.

When all is said and done, we can all agree this Z is most definitely unique and is a job well done. We enjoyed shooting this car and hopefully our fans can get to enjoy seeing it in person someday. Martinez quotes, "This feature itself is a mile stone and shows that people do take notice of my car and enjoy viewing it."

Dream Car: My dream car is the skyline R34. I love the overall aggressiveness of the car and rarity of they care makes it my dream car. That car is perfect in its oem state with out needing any mods and that's hard to come by. As much as I love my car, sometimes I have the need for speed, so I will definitely be looking for a new build - most likely an AE86.

Favorite Website for Parts: My350z.com because they will always give you a discount for being a member of the site.

What's playing in your headphones right now?: Hands on the Wheel by School Boy Q.

Future Mods: I've been looking into changing the color of the car and a change of wheels which might come very soon. That's all I can say now, you'll have to stay tuned to see what color and wheels I'm going with...

Mods:

suspension-

• Enkei ABC exclusives 19x10 -5/19x12 +0 machined face polished lips.

Black Beauty

Photographer: Kevis Mulchan Writer: Ariel Mulchan

David Gutierrez from Weston, FL never thought he’d own a car like this one. This head turning, street hugging black beauty has come a long way in the hands of David.

David has always had a passion for cars and was quite the artist growing up, drawing Supras and shading in beastly body kits. Since he was 8 years old, David just knew that customizations were his thing. After attending Accord Florida Meet 2011 (AFM 2011) and he quickly joined My8thGen.com. It’s safe to say that David was meant for this black beauty and he has all his hard work to prove it!

Switching from his beastly pencil models, David spent a total of 1 year getting this 2008 Accord LX Honda beauty to ride how he wanted it. Overcoming the common obstacle of how to pay for his mods, David worked full-time (sometimes overtime) while he was a student to make sure he could get the build he wanted. In addition, like any worried Mother, his Mom wanted to make sure he was investing his money wisely  and would let him borrow her car if he was having mechanical issues. (we say, “Well done!”)

David started off following the crowd; buying the same old parts and doing the same old mods you see everywhere. Eventually, he got to a point where he knew he had to be different. Switching up his game plan, David has done a number of custom mods.

Exterior:

• V6 front and rear conversion
• OEM V6 fog lights with custom-made amber film
• Mugen grill
• Custom made retrofit by Vinh Ho (My8thgen) Morimoto Mini H1
• Red tinted tail lights
• Roof spoiler
• Trunk lid spoiler
• Front and rear Modulo lip kit
• Weathertech window visors
• Volk GT-V 19x9.5 +30 Front and 19x10.5 +24 Rear, custom painted
• Falken 452 tires

Interior:

• Fahrenheit F81 Accord
• Pioneer Double Din AVH-P4300DVD
• Weathertech Floor Liners
• Amber ambient lights
• Alpine Type-R Components and coaxial
• 2 12" Alpine Type-R Subwoofer with custom-made enclosure
• Full LED conversion

Performance:

• Megan EZ Coilovers
• SPC 3-piece rear arms
• Custom adapted RBC Intake Manifold
• K&N Short Ram Intake
• UR Front Strut Bar
• UR 19mm Sway Bar
• EBC Blackdash rotors
• Akebono Brake pads
• Fully custom dual exhaust with Magnaflow tips and mufflers

Finally arriving at his final milestone, David’s favorite sites to use while completing his mods were ThrowDownPerformance.com and Amazon.com. Of course, he had the support of his girlfriend, who attended every meet with him. In the future, he plans to build a classic muscle car with his girlfriend’s dad – most likely a 66-69 Mustang. (Talk about a beauty!) His thoughts… “A true lover of cars does not stick to only one kind; they are always open to any new thoughts.”

Shout outs: “I would like to thank the whole My8thgen.com community for their help and support. They were my first inspiration and have always been there whenever I have had a problem. Likewise, I would like to thank Luis, who helped me “invest my money wisely” so my Mom wouldn’t worry. Finally, to my friend Boback, who let me order and ship parts to his house, keep my parts, work on my car and wash my car at his house on a weekly basis.”

So Fresh.

Photographer: Kevis Mulchan Writer: Ariel Mulchan

StanceMiami is proud to bring you this sleek and simple allurement. Jorge Rodriguez from Kendall, FL spent a year and a half creating this 2010 Honda Civic masterpiece.

His inspiration came from a Cali crew called “Royal Origin” and, at first, Jorge couldn’t resist the urge to throw on some JDM emblems. After that, he was hooked! He spent a lot of time researching parts and deals; trying to avoid the obstacle of money, in his own words, Jorge was “balling on a budget”.

His first investment was a set of Tork Revos. As things progressed, this civic has gone through 4 sets of rims and is finally sitting on 17x9 +25    Hyperblack Rota grids. He also added:

Exterior:

• 8k low beam H.I.D
• NOKYA hyper yellow daytime light/high beams
• Full Hfp lip kit
• Godspeed coilovers
• Reds BEAKS Lower tie bar
• SBC RPF1 17x9 +22
• Motegi burning blue Lug nuts
• Weathertech window visors

Interior:

• J's Racing Type R steering wheel emblem
• Interior multi color LED kit
• REVO Broadway mirror

Engine:

• Mugen oil cap
• Fujita CAI
• Custom 2.5in Cat back with burnt titanium muffler

 Wheels:

•  17x9 +25    Hyperblack Rota grids

Just like any car fanatic, Jorge would get a part for his car and say he was done, but then change his mind as he thought of additional mods.

Jorge’s plans for the future are simple. There may be some plans for some interior work and, of course, he does plan on getting a new set of rims.

Shout Outs: The Wifey, for going to all my car related events; my family,and anyone who has contributed to my Honda. Dream Car and Why?: Any Lamborghini, because they are so aggressive and fast you can’t help but like them. What’s playing in your headphones?: Cold by Kanye West

Not only does this week's car have flawless looks, but also impressive power under the hood to say the least. This car is definitely worth putting time, money, and hard work into, which is exactly what Juan Razuri from Pembroke Pines, FL has done. Razuri's '08 Infiniti G37S took about four months to build.

"I wanted something elegant, classy, and aggressive at the same time. It's a car that would satisfy any car enthusiast because of the way it looks, the way it drives, and the different ideas that can be applied to its model."

 With so many options these days, deciding which route to take for customizing your car is always something to think twice about. Nissan's luxury brand does not disappoint when it comes to giving you a perfect canvas to paint. Razuri noted that with the color and body style of this car, he had to be very careful in what parts and modifications to go chose.

"We had many options for the car....It was a whole process when it came to the point of making the final decision."

This feature not only brings you a well-done build, but the presence of professionalism is very present in this car. RodSpeed was a huge part in the making of it, and we really enjoyed featuring this car.We will first show you a photo of the car when it was a blank canvas.  We hope you all enjoy it! 

MODIFICATIONS: - Custom black housing headlights - 8k HID replacements for low beams - 8k HID conversion on Inner Fog lights - Full LED conversion - Custom flat black front oem grill - Stillen front splitter - Stillen rear diffuser - 30% smoke taillights - Oem trunk spoiler - Custom roof spoiler

PERFORMANCE- Ark full titanium exhaust system ( Dual ) - Stillen dual cold air intake system - Cusco strut bar - Cusco lower tie bar - Ark test pipe - Ark mid pipe

WHEEL/TIRE/ SUSPENSION - Megan full adjustable coilovers/ dampening adjustment - Ichiba front camber kit - Ichiba rear camber kit - Ichiba rear toe bolts - Akebono full brake kit - Akebono drilled slotted rotors - R40 titanium log nuts - 20" Stance Wheels SC5 Machine Black * Front 20x10 * Rear 20x10.5 - Falken Tires *Front 235/30/20 *Rear 275/30/20 - 12mm spacers on the front / Extended Studs ( To clear Brake Kit)

Owner's Specs: Dream Car and why? - Nissan Skyline R34; its very rare and unique and meets all my standards.

Favorite/Most Used website for parts, etc? - www.RodSpeed.com - www.Evasivemotorsports.com - www.Horsepowerfreaks.com - www.Stillen.com

And future builds you have in mind? - Not at the moment, but before I had this G37, "RodSpeed" built a 2006 Honda Civic for me as well.

What's playing in your earphones right now? - Comfortable Numb by Pink Floyd

Shout Out:RodSpeed as my main automotive shop and Rodrigo Leguizamon (Main Owner) for building my car and giving a new and unique style to it. Ideas, concepts, and details were given from the shop and that was very helpful in the process of building the whole car.

Little Red Devil

Written: Krystal Gonzalez                         Photographers: StanceMiami 

    Honda enthusiasts are a curious bunch. The moment a person embarks on their quest to modify their Honda, they almost instantly become hooked; it's almost like a sickness of some kind. Even though every car enthusiast has their own opinion, everyone can appreciate a clean 8th gen Si. 

    Four years ago, Jovannie Quiles from West Palm Beach, Florida became the first owner for this '08 Honda Civic Si. Garage kept until 2010 with 17k miles, Quiles tried experimenting with several wheels while choosing springs for suspension.

"

After a while, I started to see the stance game go crazy, so I decided to go that route with the Si.

" 

Quiles took about 3 months to finally get wheels and full suspension on the car, and the stance look he was going for was finally complete.

"

After the build I started to go to several car show events at Palm Beach International Raceway and people showed me a lot of love for my Si, but with that love came plenty of imitators. Now seeing a lot of these cars built the same way, bigger plans are to come in the near future.

"

There's no doubt that most people have their preconceived notions about civics. But despite whatever prejudices you may or may not have, this car has curves anyone can appreciate. I like to think of it as a clever mix of performance and unique styling that stands out anywhere. It's the unique things that people do to their cars that get attention and respect. Well done, Jovannie!
