Meet Dan and his extremely clean Honda S2000 everyone! Having owned an S2000 before, building his current one didn't take too long. As a matter of fact it took just over a week to go from completely stock to it's current phase, and trust us, there is way more to it than what you see in these pictures! Other than the new wheel setup, AP2 lip up front was the only other thing added to the exterior. Judging by his last ride, Dan likes his exteriors to stay relatively stock, so don't expect anything too flashy anytime soon. Scroll on down for wheel, tire and suspension specifications.

This time around, Dan went with the famous Volk Racing TE37's in 17×9 all around with (+28) and (+22) offsets. The Volks are wrapped in Yokohama S.drive (215/45/17) tires. Dan also added Buddy Club Racing Spec Dampers, JIC X brace, ARC titanium front tower bar, and Endless CCRG front and rear pads. Under the hood you'll find a bunch of ARC goodies, such as their Titanium Exhaust, test pipe, intake chamber, air induction box and a couple more goodies. As we said earlier, it only took a little over a week to do all of this, and that to us is pretty impressive.



Dan isn't one of those guys who is into all the extreme fender work and tire stretching as you can see. Great mixture of form & function is what it's all about in this case. Hit the Read More button below for a lot more photos, including a few rolling shots by Edwin Tan!





On the inside you'll find a Momo Tuner 330mm steering wheel with Works Bell quick release and Momo hub. J’s Racing hooked it up with the shift knob and Defi took cars of the gauges (oil temp, oil pressure, etc.). Again, not too bad for a week and a half of having the car isn't it? We're definitely excited about this summer as we'll work with our photographer Edwin Tan to bring the Toronto and rest of the world a little bit closer together. Our brothers from up north definitely have a ton of unique and incredible rides that deserve the exposure.





We hope you enjoyed Dan's ride as much as we did. Big shout out to him, his crew LEVELONE, and of course our talented photographer, Edwin Tan. If you're up in the Toronto, Canada area, make sure you get in touch with Edwin about a photoshoot! We hope you all have a great weekend.

Oh, the powers of internet! Most of you may remember this BMW from last week. It was one of the cars we posted in our coverage of the USDM JAM event that was held in Japan not too long ago. Just days after we put the coverage up we received an email from Keisuke-San who happened to be the owner of the BMW! He thanked us kindly for showing off his USDM inspired BMW and asked us if we were interested in seeing more photos of it! It's a 2001 BMW 330ci (left hand drive!) with an M3 front bumper, mirrors, etc. Side markers were also shaven off and the tails were refreshed with a set from a later model 3 series.



Keisuke-San slammed the car on XYZ coilovers and most importantly, he went with one of our favorite wheels of all times! Volks Rays CE28 in 8.5 with 0 offset and 205/35R18 tires up front, while the rears are 9.5J +18 offset and 215/35R18 tires. Stickers, plate frame, left hand drive and the overall appearance screams USDM! We're honored that the Japanese are inspired by what we do. Drop a comment below and let Keisuke-San know how you feel about his ride. Daily driven all throughout Japan.

We've been following the build of this Lexus IS for a good year now, and it honestly never seems to be complete. The owner is constantly adding new things to it and from what we remember, he has gone through 4 sets of wheels already. Fortunately enough, our photographer Masaaki hit up Custom Car Carnival event in Japan and guess who came out to show their car off? It's like Masaaki knew that we would love to see more pictures of it! Thankfully he had his camera on him and took these three photos.. One-off BMW 650i inspired front bumper (top end being the stock IS bumper, while the bottom is an actual M6 bumper), RAYS Volk Racing GTS wheels in 18x10 & 18x11, 326 suspension (coilovers) and a crap load of work that the owner has put in over the years. Oh-so creative!



Very well executed rear end, from the exhaust tips to the rad camber.



6 pot BBK with the bright orange and dark green (Anodized) calipers stick out behind those incredibly detailed Volk GTS wheels. Details is where it's at for Japanese, and this shows. Love it!

One of the photographers we admire very much is Dan Crosley (Some Guy Photography) out of Connecticut. Just recently, he shot this incredibly simple and clean Miata sitting on BBS RS wheels. What we love very much about it is the fact that it's not trying hard to stand out, everything just flows well and unique. No extreme poke or stretch, and no incredibly low front lip on that front end. As we said before, everything flows just right and it's obvious that the owner isn't doing it to impress anyone. Big shout out to John who owns this bad ass Miata, and of course Dan himself for being so talented with the camera. Make sure you hit him up if you need any kind of photography work!

Here is someting you don't see everyday! Hell, chances are majority of you have probably never seen such wild fitment on a Honda Accord, and to be honest with you, we haven't either. This slammed sedan belongs to BIG out of Thailand, and having an opportunity to share it on our site with thousands of our fans is just an honor. Now we told you last time that Thai's VIP scene is on the rise, and we even went as far as saying that in the next couple of years they will be up there with the best (Japan). Custom fabrication, wheel choices, and just the overall appearance of Thailand's cars is absolutely incredible. BIG's Honda Accord G8 is fine example of where they stand in this automotive lifestyle.

Integration of Mode Parfume Phantom GAMU front bumper to the factory Accord bumper is as smooth as it gets. Custom, one-off chrome front grille was added for a touch of "luxury", while in the rear all of the unnecessary lights that span all throughout the trunk were removed as well for a much cleaner look.



One of the craziest things on this car obviously would have to be all that camber. Front camber is currently sitting at -9 degrees, while the rear end is pulling an incredible -17 degrees of camber thanks to the heavily modified control arms and other work. Just recently he swapped out his wheels as well, coming from a set of Work Valianza V5S's to now a set of Club Linea L450's. Fronts are 19x9 (-2) and rears are 19x10 (+9) wrapped in 215/35/19 & 235/35/19 tires. Click Read More below for the rest.





A shop by the name of CarDance took care of the air suspension for BIG, where he is now able to lay the frame on the ground. While we are on the subject of suspension we might as well point out some things for you. The thing that makes Japanese cars so incredible in most peoples eyes is the fact that majority of them run on coilovers just millimeters off the ground. That's not the case with Thailand however. Majority of their cars are equipped with air suspension. We have not seen their roads personally (yet) but from what our friends and the owners of these cars tell us, they're far from the smooth roads that Japan is blessed with. Cars dumped on coilovers wouldn't last longer then a few days if driven daily, especially those who happen to live outside the city! Regardless of bags or coilovers though, when a car sits like this, you can't really complain.





Stick around for more incredible cars out of this up and coming country. In the meantime we would like to thanks BIG, Q and all of our Thai friends for all their support. We will leave you with a few more photos of this Accord to drool over. Honda Accords will never be the same from this point on!
