Alex's 1993 Nissan 240SX

Alex Pintado from Boca Raton, FL is the proud owner of this 1993 Nissan 240sx.
Pintado has had this car for 4 years, only making the significant changes this year. He drives his inspiration from years of watching YouTube Japanese street drifting. This is only the beginning for Pintado, though; the build has just begun.
Reflecting back on his biggest milestone, Pintado never thought he’d see a fresh coat of paint on this car. He spent 4 years driving a flat, spray-painted 240sx and had almost given up on ever seeing her with a bit of color. His heart nearly dropped when he got to see the newly painted car for the first time. Next stop? Pintado has his heart ready to drop once more for an SR20 engine swap.
While we have all been there, done that, Pintado deals with the all too familiar struggle to stretch his dollar to perfect his 21 year-old car. He says, “Paint might be nice, but it still leaks when it rains!”
Special Thanks/Shout Outs: “Would like to thank my wonderful fiancé, for her support and helping me when my car was down, and whatever else i put her through. I couldn’t have done it without her. I’d also like to thank my friends for pushing me to things I never thought I’d do.”

Armando's 1990 240SX

- Words: Ariel Mulchan
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.

Phet's Nissan Teana
- Photography: Phet Chansanroj
- Words: Ariel Mulchan
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.

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]."

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.

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.

- M45 projectors retro fitted in OEM Headlights(The first and Only Sentra in the States with them)

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...

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.

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.
