Phet's Nissan Teana

We are excited to bring you this unique Nissan 2010 Teana V6 2.5 CC all the way from Thailand! Phet Chansanroj began this original build at the beginning of the year and has invested a large amount of time into the final product.
Phet originally purchased this car as a family car for him, his wife, and his daughter. Phet had limited time to work on the Teanna, so he dedicated every Friday night to improving and building the car, which proved to be quite an obstacle. When one part did not work or fit/look right, he would have to wait until the following week to continue working on the Teana.
Phet researched the internet for ideas and inspiration, but nothing could separate him from his idea that "fitment" meant to fit the wheels with the stock fender. Although he can admire the VIP style, Phet's style was more of a retro style - exhaust pipe, oil cooler, lip kissing the fender, and the angle of the wheels. Phet was determined to build a unique ride that would catch eyes all across the world.
Phet fell in love with the stance of the car so much that he bagged the Teana so that his wife could drive a bit easier and he would still have the low he loved. Phet is not finished yet and can't wait to finish more work on the car, keeping it clean and looking like a beast.

Alexandre's STI

Alexandre Michaud is the proud owner of this 2011 subara STI all the way from Saint-Georges, Quebec, Canada! Starting with the basics, Alexandre began his build by lowering the car on coilovers with some wheels. As a typical enthusiast, he lowered the car some more (because you can never be too low) and added the front and side lips, as well as a Magnaflow catback. His initial modifications took just 1-2 months!
What is next? Since an enthusiast is never satisfied, Alexandre is looking into some air suspension, a Catless downpipe for a complete TurboBack, a Ecutek tune, a front mount intercooler, and a cold air intake. With so much already completed, Alexandre still has quite a ways to go before he is fully satisfied with his ride! When he finally finishes his build, future projects may be a Nissan GTR r35. But of course, his dream car is a Lamborghini Gallardo because he has always loved the shape of the car and would love to have a twin turbo kit on one!
Favorite sites: Alexandre loves to surf andy's autoparts, hottexhaust, ebay and also visit his local shop for parts and inspiration.
