Slammed Big Body.



Did the owner of this UCF30/LS430 really just put a set of Volk TE37's on a big bodied VIP sedan?! Indeed, he did. Why would anyone do that though, right? How about this, why not? In pursuit of standing out from the crowd people do all kinds of things. Some choose to push the limits with their fitment and body work while others go with flashy colors. There are also guys like our friend Syota from Japan who mixed the sporty/aggressive styling with a touch of high end "VIP" inspired styling. Syota-san didn't go as far as some of the Japanese guys do but he there is definitely a lot more stuff done to the car than meets the eye. Please allow us to introduce you to Syota and his beautiful Toyota Celsior.

Seeing how majority of the cars that come out of Japan nowadays are running serious negative camber and crazy fender work it's almost surprising to see one so "mild", for lack of better words. Though it's far from stock, Syota managed to keep the car looking clean as possible. The kit foe example, made by VLUSTYJEWEL, was slightly modified all around in order to stand every bit apart from other UCF30's rocking the same kit near him. Same goes for those fender vents up front, all one -off stuff.



Syota also decided to widen all the fenders some 2 centimeters to accommodate the aggressive set of wheels he is running, which bring us to specs. Those stunning Volk TE37's sit at 19x9.5 up front with an offset of 7 and 19x9.5 in the rear with an offset of -6. They are wrapped in 225/35/19 Nitto NT555 tires. The fitment is as good as it gets, especially in the rear where it looks like there is barely any clearance between the tire and fender. Just as you assumed, it does sit on coilovers and it is Syotas daily driver. The coilovers are bade by a company out of Japan called Final Konnexion and it sits on 20kg spring rate up front and 16kg in the rear.



Some of the other stuff that Syota replaced on the car are things like the smoked Wald LED tail lights and the custom painted headlights & blinkers. The exhaust is also one off on this bad boy. We're really loving those exhaust pipes!



Like we always do, we'll leave you with a few more photos and a huge shout out to not only Syota himself, but all of our awesome Japanese fans. If everything goes as planned we should be coming to your wonderful country very soon!

AF Imp Japan Photo Coverage // Part 1



How many of you are familiar with the AF Imp magazine from Japan? Well, every year they throw this "AF Imp Super Carnival" event that brings out some of the finest Euros from all over Japan. This year we had a couple of our photographers attending the event so we'll break the coverage in two different parts, but today we'll take a look at the photos that our newest photographer Takashi sent our way! You'll recognize a couple of cars from our previous features like this VW EOS above and the VW Scirocco few photos down. Drop a comment below and let us know what car you would like to see more of. Big shout out to AF Imp for putting together another huge and successful event.

T-1GP Japan // Photo Coverage



All of you camber loving VIP style fans out there will love this event. As many of you will be able to tell, it seems that about half of all cars that come to these VIP related events aren't really true VIP cars. A lot of things define a "true" VIP vehicle but -20 degrees of camber, flashy wheel colors or super aggressive body kits aren't it. These "GT-Style" sedans have pretty much overtaken the traditional VIP scene and there is no signs of slowing down. As a matter of fact it hasn't even come close to hitting it's peak. With that said, let's take a look at some of the photos that our friend Hanzawa sent over to us!

Steezy.



Is it just us or has the amount of properly fitted G35 Coupes gone way down in the last few months? For example, last year we had a new G on our site at least once a month, this year however it's very different. We're halfway in the year already and this is our first G feature if we remember correctly. This particular one is pretty special to us because it belongs to one of the Low N Slow guys who we happen to be so close to. We featured a few of their cars last month (click here) but never got to Noel's G35 however. What we learned about Low N Slow from those previous features was that they don't build their cars for shows or magazine covers. Most of their cars are very similar to ours, just slightly more of everything (lower, wider, etc). Let's take at what our friend Noel did to his Infiniti G35, shall we?

Photos By: Jon Tran exclusively for StanceNation.com




The exterior features a replica Nismo poly front end & Impul poly side skirts. They didn't bring the car down as much so Noel got himself a set of Stance GR+ coilovers. Having an overly aggressive set of wheels usually means that you're either going to have to do some body work or tweak your suspension some more. Noel chose to go with a pair of SPL rear camber arms along with Megan rear toe links and Megan UCA. The negative camber on this thing is just right especially from the rear end! Noel killed it!



One of the things that Noel took a slight risk with was those wheels and their finish. The Diamond Graphite color usually doesn't work too well with "colored" wheels but we honestly think he pulled it off. The good fellas at WheelFlip flipped and polished the barrels of those SSR MS1's, powder coated the faces Gloss White and painted the hardware Noble Gold. The results are stunning especially in person. As far as wheels go, they are as we mentioned SSR MS1 and are sized at 19×9.5 up front with an offset of -33 & 19×11 in the rear with an offset of -13. Noel wrapped the wheels in 215/35 & 255/35 rubber and got the car to sit exactly where he wanted.



By no means does Noel race the car but he certainly enjoys a few additional horses that he squeezed out of the stock G35 engine. At the moment, under the hood you'll find a true HKS dual exhaust with titanium tips, an FD swap to 3.54 gear differential with VLSD and custom grounding kit. Other then that, the few other things that he did under the hood include a Polished plenum, Polished throttle body and a Polished Injen CAI. Again, you're looking at a daily driven street car.



With that said, we'll end this feature with a huge shout out to the entire Low N Slow crew, especially Noel! Noel managed to create one of our favorite G's out there and more importantly he did it with minimal amount of mods. Well done sir, well done.

Oni kyan Toyota Crown



Not a fan of excessive negative camber? This feature probably isn't going to interest you much, but we still urge you to check it out and be as open minded as you can. Majority of us Americans seem to have an extreme amount of hate towards Oni Kyan (aka Demon Camber). It has been on the rise in Japan for the last few years and it is slowly but surely spreading throughout rest of the world. Back in late 2010 we pointed out that it was just a matter of time before we start seeing more of this "trend" in the states here and sure enough we saw it (click here). Judging by where this scene of ours stands at the moment, we're pretty confident that by the end of this year we'll have a handful of guys sitting in the high teens and a couple even in the -20 plus of camber. Enough of that for now though! Let's take a look at our friend Lhee's ridiculously slammed & camber(ed) Toyota Crown. Reppin' his country of Thailand proudly.

Photos By: Lhee exclusively for StanceNation.com




Thailand doesn't get nearly as much credit as they should, which is why we are here. Their stance scene mostly consists of small to midsize sedans, ranging from Vios & Civic (shown here) to Accords & Camrys (shown here). Big bodied Japanese sedans aren't as popular in Thailand simply because the import tax is extremely expensive. Don't even get us started on the maintenance, insurance & fuel consumption! Fortunately enough, Lhee was able to import this beautiful Crown to Thailand. Being a custom automotive shop owner himself, the car didn't stay stock for long. One of his main goals was to bring extreme negative camber to the shores of Thailand, which he nailed!



All of the camber and suspension work is completely custom. Finished in-house at his "Hop Up Air Suspension" shop. At the moment he is running -15 degrees in the front and a ridiculous -19 degrees in the rear. That's about 1/4th of those massive rear tires having contact with the ground. With the excessive amount of camber, it only made sense to also go crazy with wheels. His choice was none other then Trafficstar STR's. Fronts sit at 19x10.5 with an offset of -23 while the rears sit at 19x12 with a mind blowing -54 offset. The tires Lhee is running are 225/35/19 up front and 275/30/19 in the rear. Slight fender radiusing and widening was also a must have on his list.



Custom is the name of the game. Lhee has always been a fan of taking already made stuff and making it his own. The entire K-Break kit that this Crown is rocking has been customized. Front, sides and rear. Cut up, molded. etc.



Same goes for all thie lights on the car. Headlights, blinker/corner lights & taillights have all been swapped out for custom LED ones that Lhee did himself.



We'll conclude this feature by giving a huge thank you to all of our friends from the beautiful country of Thailand. Also a huge thanks to our friend Q and of course Lhee himself for making this feature happen. We hope that you can take a minute and think back a few years ago when the fitment/stance scene was barely existent in the states. The thought of people having any negative camber on their cars was absurd. Stretched tires? Don't even get us started. We've come a long way here in the states in the recent years and we shouldn't stop now. We need to continue to push the envelop and be creative with our cars. If Oni Kyan is what it takes, then so be it.
