One of the cars that most (if not all) of you out there have respect for is a Nissan Silvia. Specifically, the legendary Nissan Silvia S15 like the one you see in front of you. This particular one belongs to a very good friend of ours out of Finland by the name of Marcus Hydén. He has been fortunate enough to own this '99 Nissan Silvia S15 Spec-R for about a year and a half now and he describes it as a "masterpiece". What's even more impressive is that Marcus is only 22 years old. That means he owned an S15 at just 20 years of age. He had the car imported from Japan by a company called Mamasan. They searched for a S15 based on exactly what Marcus wanted. He told them what parts the car should include, it's approximate mileage as well as the colors that he wanted.

When the car was delivered to Finland it sat practically stock other then the few engine mods. It was also one of the first couple S15's around Finland at the time that was completely road legal. Not too long after he got the car, he found himself spending money and time modifying it already. Marcus did some small engine changes, a bit of aero changes and even some interior updating which we'll show you later. He has already put about 20,000 miles on it since and there have been no issues at all. Well, one thing that Marcus has a problem with is the rear tire wear. We all know how that happens!



Since he got the car it has already gone through a couple sets of wheels. The newest and most recent set are these beautiful Work Meister S1's that sit just right. Fronts are 18x9 with a +18 offset while the rears are 18x10 with the same offset. They are wrapped with some Toyo Proxes T1R tires, 215/35/18 front and 245/35/18 rears. Even the lug nuts that you see in the photo below is made by Work Wheels. Marcus also did some slight fender rolling and pulling as he really didn't want to mess with the body lines of such an amazing car. Make sure you hit the Read More button to take a look at some rolling shots as well as read the full spec list! Trust us, it'll be well worth your time.





There isn't much that needs to be said about this cars body. Clean, simple, OEM looking. The rear bumper has been modified a little bit while the front was cleaned up and shaved. Suspension list is pretty long so make sure you scroll down for that, but a set of JIC Coilovers keep this S15 planted to the ground along with a bunch of stuff from Cusco and Ikeya. Click the images below for high resolution.






We'll finish off this feature with a few more photos as well as a huge shout out to Marcus, and everyone at the LS Garage. It took a lot of convincing to make this feature happen as Marcus doesn't really like attention, but it's so worth it. We're glad that he agreed to it as the whole world will be able to see how beautiful of a car he has built. Also, a big shout out to Santtu Kilpinen for the awesome photos and all of our fans out in Finald!

Hello everyone. Glad you could make it to Stance:Nation today. Please allow us to introduce to you our good friend Fredrik. He is the owner of this beautiful Nissan 180SX you are looking at! Fredrik is from Sweden and we're honored to show off one of his car with you. This 1997 Nissan 180SX just screams for attention with its flashy color and that menacing posture. Honestly, we're not going to sit here and waste your time trying to convince you as to why you should like Fredriks ride as much as we do. Instead, we'll show you the few photos that we have and full spec list on the very bottom of this post that spreads for pages. Make sure you click Read More below to check that out.

An all around well built car is pretty hard to find in this aggressive fitment scene of ours, we both know that. Excessive stickers, zipties, mangled fenders, we can go on forever. Don't get us wrong, we're not talking down on any of those things as it's what makes most of this scene that we love so much up, we're simply saying that running onto a car such as this puts a huge smile on our faces. Under the hood is an SR20DET motor with RS3860 Turbo. Plenty of power to light those tires up and get sideways! Make sure you check out the full spec list on the bottom of the post.



The SSR Professor SP1 wheels are 18x10 & 18x11 and are wrapped in 225/40-18 & 255/35-18 set of tires. Fredrik tells us that he maxed out the Tein SuperDrift Coilovers to get the car to sit as low as it does. It doesn't just stop there though. He has worked on the car for a very long time now and his spec list spreads for pages. Hit the Read More button below to check it out!



The aggressive looking kit you're seeing is made by URAS. Type 4 Front bumper, Type S rear and sideskirts. Car is also rocking +30mm front fenders and +50mm Origin overfenders in the rear. Fredrik is also rocking a Carbon Fiber Hood and Headlight Covers up front, while the Craftsquare Carbon Fiber Mirrors set the side off just right. Let's check out the sexy interior photos below, what do you say?



Again, extremely large modification list but let's run through the basics together. Carbon Fiber spread from door panels to the center console. 6-point Rollcage surrounds the Bride Vios III Seats on "Powerails" Seat rails and equipped with Takata MPH-341 4-Point harness. Bride texture spreads all throughout the glovebox and armrest, which in our opinion was a nice touch. You get the point.





With that said, we would like to thank our awesome photographer Erik as well as the car owner Fredrik for making this happen. One of the sexiest daily driven RPS13's we've seen in a while. We love our beat up and ziptied cars, but it's definitely nice to see something so clean from time to time, don't you agree? Think your car has what it takes to be on our site? Make sure you shoot us an email to snfeatures@gmail.com with some photos and specifications right away! As the Swedish say: Tack och hej!

We first saw this awesome BMW M3 at the recent WekFest (1,2) event that was held in Chicago few days ago. It was honestly a love at first sight, and we're sure we're not alone when we say that. There is just something about it that had many people at WekFest snapping photos of it left and right. It belongs to Waldi Franz, a 27 year old fitment addict who was raised in Germany and now resides in Chicago. Waldi recently met up with a good friend and photographer of ours, Jeremy Cliff where they were able to make this shoot happen. Without further adieu, let's get into the photos and all the specs shall we?

Photo By: Jeremy Cliff exclusively for StanceNation.com


Waldi has always been a fan of euro cars, but he has owned plenty of Hondas in his past. Everything from JDM EE8 CRX back in Germany to S2000 and a EG Hatch with a built JDM b18 here in the states. He tells us that German cars are really in his blood and he keeps going back to them. This 2004 E46 M3 came into the picture 4 years ago, bone stock. It's been through lots of changes but Waldi has kept it looking pretty OEM overall. Every modification (except the camo) was done by Waldi himself and we definitely respect that. The exterior features a CSL front bumper, CSL Carbon Fiber Bootlid and a CSL Carbon Fiber Diffuser. The roof was wrapped in Flat Black and the OEM BMW roofrack was put on so Waldi can haul his bike around. How about that fitment though, right?



The car is sitting on a set of VMR VB3 CSL Style wheels sized at 19x9.5 in the front (+22 offset) & 19x10 in the rear (+25 offset) equipped with KW V3 coilovers. Front and rear wheels are wrapped in Falken FK tires, 225/35/19. Waldi ended up rolling and pulling all four fenders, and in order to sit flush he added 5mm spacers up front and 30mm adapters in the rear. As if the awesome fitment didn't make it stand out enough, Waldi and his friend Bartek Kregiel thought it would be a good idea to slap on a camo wrap! Hit the Read More button below for more on that as well as many other photos.









Last project was the Camouflage Wrap. Waldi thought of this great idea and with the help of his friend Bartek, they were able to make it happen. They opened up a Photoshop and started sketching away! Luckily they had a vinyl plotter and were able to print things out and get everything done together.







We will leave you with a few more photos of the shoot and send a big shout out to Waldi as well as our photographer Jeremy Cliff! Make sure you shoot us an email at snfeatures@gmail.com if you think your car has what it takes to be on our site! We hope you all enjoy your weekend and have a great Labor Day!

Flashy color schemes may look "hot" for a minute, but a simple and clean look will never go out of style. Take Evans '98 Kouki for example. One owner, original paint, mint condition all around, just an incredible ride if you ask us. Evan wanted something that not a lot of people really had, yet still stay with the "OEM" look. His solution? A set of wheels from an '03 Mustang Cobra! They are 17x9 up front & 17x10.5 in the rear and are wrapped in 215/40/17 & 245/40/17 tires. This gorgeous Nissan is sitting on a custom set of HKS Hyper Max coilovers with a 2 way pillow top mount and Yomata Garage adjustable arms. It's got S15 Spec R SR20 in it with a 6 speed transmission. At the moment the motor only has 810 injectors, custom fuel pump, custom intercooler piping and a 3" exhaust pipes done by DSB Fabrications. Truly a beautiful sight to see. We hope you enjoy all the desktop sized photos and make sure to click the Read More button for rest of the photos.

If you are having a rough Monday so far, we may just have something that will make it much better. What we have for you today is this drop dead gorgeous Subaru Impreza STI that belongs to Chu out of Toronto, Canada. What's so special about it you may ask? Well, just check out these shots and take some time to look through all the modifications below. Chu purchased his STI back in '08 and since then it has gone through several wheel setups. Advans, CEs, XD9s, BBS', just to name a few. His most recent setup happens to be our favorite. It's truly a great mixture of "form & function" as we like to say.

The car is built with nothing but quality parts. Voltex, BBS, Endless, Cobb, Prodrive, and the list goes on. Let's start with the go-fast mods first, what do you say? Some of the things Chu did to get the car moving a bit faster than stock was a Cobb AccessPort (stage 2 pro-tune), Prodrive Jasma 3" turbo back and 3" downpipe, and many other smaller things. It's not the quickest STI you've seen but with over 300HP at the wheels, let's just say that it moves. How about that awesome aero all around?



The rear end features the almighty Voltex Carbon Fiber diffuser paired with that shiny ProDrive Jasma Exhaust. Not that it matters but we usually prefer wingless Subarus, in this instance however it works like magic. Chu dropped the car on a set of BC coilovers with 10k/9k (custom spring rates and shock bodies) and mounted on a set of BBS LM wheels. They were recently re-barreled, re-polished and the faces were resprayed. Sitting at 18x9 all around with a +5 offset they are just right in our opinion. Hit the Read More button below for lots more photos and specs.













We'll leave you with a few more photos and a huge shout out to Chu as well as our photographer Raymond Tran. Stay tuned for another awesome ride right out of Toronto, Canada in the next day or two.
