Two Of A Kind.

Photography: Joey Newcombe Writer: Ariel Mulchan

All the way from Tampa, FL, we bring you a double-feature! Alex Laverde is the proud owner of this 2001 Acura Integra and 2004 Honda Ruckus.

Alex is the original owner of the Integra and has operated on this beauty several times. Installing 3 different nitrous kits, 2 turbo manifolds, and a handful of intakes and exhausts, his work has been beautifully executed. Alex took his inspiration for the Integra and invested in building the Ruckus identically over a course of 4 months. His favorite sites for parts are Honda-Tech.com Market Place and Totalruckus.com Grand Bazaar.

From the beginning, Alex faced obstacles - even while purchasing his Integra. When arriving to the dealership, it seemed like he had arrived at the only dealership where a group of salesmen weren't waiting for him. Finally, a sales representative saw the look on Alex's face when he was viewing the Integra and sealed the deal.

Alex plans to freshen up the interior of his Integra and install a brake kit, bigger cams, and shoot for 500hp.

Alex's dream car is a 1963 Chevy Impala with an Ls1 motor. He was always around low riders growing up, but never had the opportunity to own and build his own. Alex hopes that his dreams will become reality and a 1963 Impala will be his next build.

Get ready to switch your gears and rev your engines! This is one for the books!

Ron Marchini all the way from Clearwater, FL has been working on this one-of-a-kind 2000 Acura NSX for two years. His main focus was to build a functional car that he could take to the tracks to compete with newer sportscars, all while maintaining show quality.

When Ron originally purchased the car in Rhode Island, the Comptech supercharger already installed made one unforgettable ride back to Florida. Ron added CCW Classics, worked on improving the horsepower, Brembo brakes, and Comptech suspension; recent upgrades include a new front lip from Shine. Ron also plans to get a TypeR hood to boost the downforce and widen the front fenders. Ron Marchini spent a lot of time, money, and effort as he pushed to get the results he was looking for. His most used site for parts during this build was Science of Speed. And, with an exquisite outcome like this, it's no wonder Ron doesn't intend on building anything else in the near future.

Dream Car and Why?: "The LFA, because I think it represents the best car that Japan has to offer...just like in 1991 when the NSX was released."

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 Ivan, this build has been in the works since he was 14 years old when he saw an older man driving one just like this. His mind began racing with ideas of what could be, and what an appeasing feeling to finally live the dream.

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.

Lady Driven

Photographers: Rondon Rigues, Kevis Mulchan Writer: Ariel Mulchan

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

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).

Mean Z

Photographer: Kevis Mulchan Writer: Krystal Gonzalez

Luis Vivas from West Boca Raton brings us this '05 Nissan 350z. Since the age of 16, Luis started saving up for his future ride. Two years later, the perfect Z fell right into his hands.

Overcoming obstacles with the help of his family, it was finally possible to start the building process. Luis had to work countless hours and, at times, 2 jobs to save up for all the parts and wheels.

This Z has a look that any car enthusiast would be happy to gaze at. Inspired to make heads turn, Luis chose these stunning Work Rezax's and added his own mods. The amount of hard work invested into a project is always evident in the final product and this Z proves it! Well done, Luis.

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.

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

Simply Clean 4 Coverage

Writer: Kevis Mulchan Photography: Joey Newcombe

We bring you some coverage of Simply Clean 4 that was held in Daytona, Florida on Saturday November 10th, 2012. Many came out from all over Florida for a day of car culture. This event had a buzz all over the south Florida area that resulted in a number of cars driving up from the south to Daytona for the day long event.  Check out some of the photos that were taken by our partner photographer Joey Newcombe.

Less is More.

Photography: StanceMiami Written: Krystal Gonzalez

If you have ever envisioned yourself owning a Lexus, this is a car that will show you how it's done. Kevin Josephs from West Palm Beach brings us this 2011 Lexus IS250 F-Sport. When you see this car you will truly admire the fact that less is more.

Having a passion for cars since he was young, Josephs purchased his first car at 16. This is where the extensive list started.

"My first few cars were civics and then I moved on to BMW, Nissan, Acura and now Lexus. This being my 11th car, I bought the F-sport with the intention to keep it factory, maybe just a mild drop since it already came with some pretty nice oem wheels."

Like anyone else, Josephs began modding and within a year and a half, his IS250 was looking flawless.

"I love my car and wouldn't have it any other way. I like to keep my car clean and simple and don't want to over do it."

 Kevin also states that his future plans would include an Invidia mid pipe and eventually upgrade to a Lexus oem bbk.

What was your inspiration for this build?

Building a daily driver that turns heads and still functional, staying clean and simple is why my friends call me SimpleKev

HIN Miami 2012 Coverage

Photographers: StanceMiami(Kevis Mulchan) Writer: Krystal Gonzalez Editor: Ariel Mulchan

The time finally came for Hot Import Nights to roll around to the amazing city of Miami! On September 29, 2012, the StanceMiami team attended HIN to bring our supporters the best coverage of the night. Thousands of people attended this event and it definitely did not disappoint. Before entering through the doors of the Miami Convention Center, you could feel the suspense of what was to come. Intense, upbeat music and shiny, fresh wheels proved you were in the right place. With all the cars in the showroom looking their best, the bar was set high for all the competition titles. With HIN's venue going to 15 states all over the US, this show had Miami's presence written all over it. Slammed, Tucked, or Flushed, Miami's cars are simply show-stopping. All the car enthusiasts I had the opportunity to speak with all agreed that they enjoyed the simple fact that there was so much variety at this event. From old school Datsun's to the amazing GT-R Godzilla, HIN turned out to be an awesome experience. We hope you all enjoy.

nurotag coverage.

It was a big weekend for car enthusiasts all over South Florida, but nurotag made quite the impression at Soho Studios located in Miami this past Saturday, September 29th 2012. Bringing style and class together with this unique event, nurotag succeeded in engaging a diverse crowd with luxury, domestic, exotic, foreign and everything in between.

This definitely wasn’t your average showcase. Taking a new approach, nurotag gave the crowd a voice through social media. Using custom #hashtags visible on the front of each vehicle, attendees were encouraged to tweet and instagram their favorites.

Of course, StanceMiami wouldn’t miss the chance at such a unique event. Shooting the event from beginning to end, we bring you the best of the best. For us here at StanceMiami it started at Rodspeed and then we made our way with the group to the event location. Enjoy the photos... video coming soon!!!
