Canmar's Lexus ES
- Photo: Matthew Gomez(OnPoint Pictures)
- Words: Ariel Mulchan
Reppin' Miami hard, Canmar Reba built this 2013 Lexus ES 350 in just 1 year. His inspiration and motivation to build so cleanly and quickly are due to the anxiousness to be the first ever to build a clean, fitted ES 350.
Like all of us, he experienced a number of obstacles, but of them all, Canmar quickly learned that "cheap isn't the way to go!" His favorite site for parts, ideas, and inspiration is ClubLexus.com. He has spent countless hours investing in the end result we admire today, but it isn't the last of his plans! In the future, Canmar is looking to get a widebody kit and concave (with lip) wheels. The rest? Canmar prefers to keep that on the downlow and keep you anxious for more. This is his dream car and he wouldn't have it any other way.
Canmar would like to thank/shout out: "my Team (Simplicity Crew) for all the support, Alejandro from Torn Assembly for doing the amazing job in building my wheels, suspension and more, and would also like to thank Kenny from Camsauto for the amazing work on tires, alignment and fitment. Last, but not least, my man Mathew from on point pictures for the amazing work with on all my photoshoots!"

Armando's 1990 240SX

Armando Alvarez from Miami Lakes, FL has been the proud owner of this 1990 Nissan 240sx for 6 years.
The first 2 years that Armando had her, he and his friend Jorge put in a number of hours that were vital to the beauty she would become today. He spent time fixing her up from some wear and tear, such as a blown head gasket, and also gave her a new roar by swapping the SOHC KA24E for a 1991 DOHC KA24DE. Additional projects included switching the base model wiring to the 240sx SE wiring for power windows and locks, as well as fixing up the rotted trunk by seam welding the car from front to end.
Armando's inspiration was sparked by C's garage kept 180sx and fed by surfing Zilvia.net, 240sxforums.com, Nicoclub.com, Ka-t.org, and Phase2motortrend.com. Like any car, Armando did experience a few bumps in the road during his build; weather and time were working against him, while finding the right parts seemed impossible. Now that Armando has overcome the difficulties, he can stand back and admire a great build.
Armando's dream car is a Caterham 7 Superlight or Porsche 964. He says "both are fun cars to drive, on and off the track." Looking ahead, Armando has it in mind to build an E30 with ITB's or an FD with an LSx swap on the fence about the two.
Armando would like to say a special thanks for the BYM_racing crew, Jorge (owner of JP tuning), and everyone else who has helped with the care and parts.

Adam's 2005 TSX

- Words: Ariel Mulchan
Adam Pascual from Miami, FL is the proud owner of this 2005 Acura Tsx. It took Adam about 3 months to completely finish his project, and completed it with a set of CCW Im5ts and Airtekk air suspension, a cI9 Honda grill, and an Aspec front lip.
Adam has always admired the Tsx and dreamed of getting a 4 door to experiment with. After finally finishing this project, Adam can look back and say he didn't face any major obstacles during his build, but is looking forward to possibly modifying the interior to black and giving it a VIP style, adding navigation, a euro r grill, and new headlights. His favorite places for inspiration and parts are Craigslist, Stance Works, and Tsxclub.
Dream car: Although his dream car is a Henessey Venom GT
Currently playing in Adam's headphones: Rich Friday by French Montana
Adam would like to say a special thanks to Onpoint Pictures (Matt Gomez), Crystal love, Jezsiel Rodriguez, and Silvio de la Nuez.

Alexandre's STI
- Photography: Mind Soul Production
- Words: Ariel Mulchan
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.
Shoutouts: Special thanks goes out to: Jimmy Boily (Mindsoul Production ) for the photos (video coming soon), E9 ride for the events and Meets, his family and his girl (Claudia), his friends Gooby, Jed, and B-brown, the city of Miami, the Vossen Team for what they did with his Audi Q5 and a BIG thanks to Kevis at StanceMiami!

Robbie Effron from South Florida drives this slammed 2010 Dodge Charger R/T. Robbie's goal for this ride was to be different; he was tired of seeing Chargers with chrome 22's and was inspired to create something unique.
Taking just over a year to build, Robbie has successfully accomplished created a unique asset to the Charger community. Facing everything from lack of time to lack of financial resources, Robbie finally progressed to the completion of the vision he had for the car.
Robbie does not currently have any future builds in mind, but does plan to continue to add to the Charger to make it the best it can be. Future plans for the Charger are cams, headers, and interior work, such as a new steering wheel and wrapped headliner. Robbie is even considering a supercharger. Perhaps, he may eventually get a chance to own and modify his dream car, a 1969 Dodge Charger R/T.
Special thanks to: Sound Blazers, Elite Roads, and After Hours MOPAR Performance for all the great work they did on the car.

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.

Everyone loves a show stopper, but Anthony Cabrera has taken it to a whole new level! Originally from Houston, TX, now in Hollywood, FL, Anthony has a special inspiration for this build, family.
This 1978 Datsun 280z took Anthony less than a year to build with eye-catching results. Once Anthony got the car, it didn't take long to know exactly what he wanted to do.
Mods include an original color code from vin respray, shaved rear, fender flares, Msa z front lip, Msa rear spoiler, Tien springs, Tokico struts, Diamond Racing Wheels 16x10 -25 all around, 205/50/16 Bridgestone Potenza re760, Msa z twicepipes exhaust, Nardi wood wheel, Sparco quick release, Momo hub, OE Datsun wood shift knob, Corbeau racing seat ,Planted seat bracket, Fujita air filter, headlight covers, Motorsports Z SCCA approved front tow hook, Msa z 240z front bumper. Anthony's favorite sites for parts were Msa Z and black dragon automotive.
Like any (and every) car enthusiast, Anthony's main obstacles in building this beautiful Datsun were time and money. Future plans for the Datsun are a real set of wheels and maybe a motor swap. His dream car is a Zonda R and may have it in the works for a VIP Q45 or a Skyline.
Anthony would like to send a special thanks to his parents, Jose Torres, the employees of Infiniti of Coconut Creek, Dipworks, Inc and, yours truly, StanceMiami. He'd also like to add, "Thanks to everyone once again for everything. I feel blessed to accomplish the majority of my goals so far [for the Datsun]."

James McDonnell from Broward County, FL is the proud owner of this 2012 BMW 535i MSport. This show stopper took James about 1 year to complete; his inspiration was all his own, trying to be as unique as possible.
Although there weren't many problems to run into with this build, one of the major milestones for James was when he installed the Vossen CV2s and coilovers. With these additions, the look of his car was completely changed.
James has many favorites when it comes to websites for buying parts, but his ultimate sites are Bimmian and Turner Motorsports. For James, a build is never completely finished, but he does hope to add Air Suspension next. In the future, he also hopes to "complete" a Fiat Abarth.

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."

Miguel's AWD GS

Photography: Kevis Mulchan, Rondon Rigues Writer: Ariel Mulchan
Miguel Morales, from Miami, FL, always had a vision for the 2006 Lexus GS300 AWD. Ever since he laid eyes on this model, all he could see was potential and the mods his hands couldn’t wait to get to work on.
When Miguel finally got the keys in his hands, his vision started to flow. Within two weeks, he already had the windows tinted, installed HIDs, vent visors, and a roof rack. Talk about getting down to business, but Miguel wouldn’t stop there!
Over the course of 9 months, Miguel worked hard to create his vision for a daily driver that would turn heads. He added a lip kit and coilovers, but the hardest decision was the type of rims. Miguel wanted an aggressive and unique look and had to pick just the right set of rims to carry his vision. Finally, he found the perfect set of Varrstoens.
Overall, Miguel’s build was simply following where his vision was leading, but I think we can all relate, at least in some way, to Miguel’s obstacle of financing his build. There is always a bigger, better, sleeker part to order, install, and customize. But thanks to www.l-tunedparts.com, his friends at Rodspeed, ClubLexus forums, Lexus Boys, Gloss house, and his lovely girlfriend, the vision came to life.
Dream Car: Miguel’s dream car is a Porsche Panamera Turbo because “It's the complete package with looks and performance.” However, he plans to get to work on a 4th Gen Supra after finishing his Lexus. Future modifications to look forward to include a Fujita Short Ram Intake, Tanabe Medalion Touring Cat Back Exhaust System, Invidia Midpipe, and Artisan Spirits GS Front Grille.

Steve's Mazda Speed 3
Photographer: Joey Newcombe
Written: Ariel Mulchan
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.

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:
- 20" Lipps rims painted candy pink
- Maya outers
- Custom Hello Kitty center caps
- Nissan Sylphy Megan springs
