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 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.

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!!!

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! 

Future plans:

• Skid plates
• Turbo set up or bolt ons with ARC parts
• Bride vios III seats
• Ap2 Retros w/ s2k shrouds/flat black housing w/ hid bulbs and 55watts ballast
• Wood grain trunk floor
• Upgrade audio system
• Different wheels

Modifications:

• HFP lip kit
• Navi
• Fogs
• Buddy club n+ w/ upper pillowball mounts
• Camber kit: Skunk2 Anodized Gold
• (Front camber: -3.2. Rear camber: -6.5)
• STI Lip

Wheels:

• Wheels: BBS rs 17x9 +19, painted transparent gold faces, 24k gold rivets
• Tires: Ns-1 205/40/17
