Its been a while since ive done a post and ive had plenty of hate mail from my buddy's saying to get my ass back into gear haha, so without further ado here it is!

This here is Lucas's super tidy EK9. EK9 for all you non-honda lovers is short for EK Civic Type R! Lucas bought it sporting super gay factory wheels that had been spray caned black pure vomit material, but Lucas is a man with style and they didn't last long! In their place is now a super rare set of BBS RG measuring 16x8 with a +30 offset. The tyre of choice is Nankang NS2 195/45R16 which sit perfectly on the 8" wide rim. Low low comes in the form of BC Racing coilovers and guard clearance comes in the form of me, Mr Guardworks! Top work Lucas I hope you all enjoy the perv of a well setup super Honda!

The R33 GTR wheel is a great fitted factory wheel, with dimensions measuring 17x9 +30 its a great wheel to start with and even better when spaced out. They are a common wheel for the obvious Nissan flavor of vehicle but an ummm errrr E34 BMW Touring..... now that's different. Car features 4.0 BMW V8 and 6 speed trans, so practical and so fun!

Ummmmm sooooo yea, came across this the other day.... When is too much stretch and poke too much? To me this is outta control, I've been in the wheel and tyre industry for close to a decade and I've seen a lot of dodgy shit, but this is on another level! How does it hold air.. does it even hold air??? Is it just a car to take photos of and then gets put back into the garage??? Or am I just getting old????

Im interested in what you guys think so post ya comments on my face book page.

Toyota Ae86 Trueno. I love the way that this thing is so original, factory interior no fancy over the top spoilers or outrageous wheel fitment, periodically correct mods just clean and simple!

Nissan 300zx Z32.............

When someone mentions this type of car to me all I can think of is how NZ has pretty much ruined a great chassis....... They are mostly owned by middle age men that like playing dungeons and dragons usually having massive body kits, staggered tyre sizes on 17x7 wheels and factory ride height! This one how ever is an amazing example and defines the perfect cockroach car (low and wide). Rolling on VIP Modular Forged VX-S 110 18x10 front and 18x12.5 rear, Falken RT-615 semi slick race tyres front and rear, Powertrix Race Ultralight coil overs, massive 4 pot brakes and shaven engine bay just to name about 1% of the modifications done to this amazing car. Please follow this link to his build section on the stanceworks forum for more amazing pictures. http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19185

Heres the lastest pic of my personal car Barry! (I so need to gain some camera skills) I changed the front bumper to an M5/Motorsport item from the states, removed the eyelids from the head lights and got the front H&R springs reset 20mm lower. I installed the springs a few weeks ago so hopefully it will settle in a little bit more. Pretty happy with how its sitting now, still need to get rear guards repainted and a Hamann front lip but im in no rush at the moment :)

Been a while since I've posted a customers car so here is Nikky's Ver 7 Imprezza wagon. This is a great example of slammed out daily. She scraped this thing all the way from Tauranga to get all 4 guards done by me here in Hamilton. Nikky's suspension of choice was BC coil overs which brings it down nicely... but of course she wants it lower :) Wheels at the moment are 16x7 Advan RC's these are in place until the tyres are fitted to her newly aquired 17x7.5 Volk Ce28's. Zerosports lip up front keeps her aware of bigger than normal objects on the road and dreaded driveways. Inside the Imprezza sports a "Dildo" gear knob, and yes I asked........ is it still called a dildo knob if its a chicks car..........."of course!" she replied.

Good work on on a low pratical daily, I'm sure you'll be making a lot of boys jealous!

Here's a vehicle that will be more familiar to my NZ readers. Holden VE or Pontiac G8 as it is known stateside. This is super slammed on I think 19" BMW X5 wheels, I'm becoming a big fan of the bigger bodies cars!

My Coffee man Simon from Agora cafe in Frankton wanted me to post up an Evo 7.... but I couldn't find anything that really wowed me............ I did how ever spot this Undertake Lexus GS430 on my travels on the inter web.... kind of the same right :) Way cooler than an Evo that's for sure and still plenty of room for the kids.

Hope this free plug for Agora earns me a free coffee tomorrow, that would be swell.

Everyone..... Meet Barry, hes my E39 BMW and I just got him back from getting his butt worked on as I under estimated the size of a 19x10.5. Rear guards needed serious work, well beyond the talent of me and my roller :) My good friend Josh came to the party and pulled and panel beated them as much as possible to get them squeezed in there.

At the moment Barry is kind of like a mullet... party out back and nothing out front haha so early next year I will be getting a motorsport front bumper kit for it and I also magically need to get 10mm of lowness into the front. When the bumper arrives we will finish off painting the guards as they are sporting a matt white base coat at the moment.

Final fitment as it sits is

Front: 19x9 -5 225/35R19
Rear: 19x10.5 +7 265/30R19

Bilstien Shocks with H&R coils front and rear

Hope you all have a safe Christmas and New Years and I will keep the updates when Barry gets more goodies

So I've been flat out the last few weeks collecting parts and working on the new project/daily, so hence the no Monday inspiration, pretty good excuse if you ask me though... don't ask Suzie she wont agree. Here's a quick pic of the rear fitment so far....... 19x10.5 +3, fronts are 19x9 -5 :) Will update more when its looking a little better.
