In this week's #PMR, Ejay Marte shows us two shots he snapped of Dan Rama's Civic EG hatch. Now, the first thing I noticed when Ejay sent these pictures over was the almost insane amount of camber in the back, and my initial thoughts were confirmed when I found out that the Exedium rear camber kit had been modified to exceed the previously limited max camber allowance. Of course, we can't forget to mention the wheel specs, which come out to be 16"x9" all the way around, but with a staggered offset at +18et in the front, but a -12et in the rear...and now that modified camber kit makes complete sense!

There are moments in our lives where we find ourselves trapped in a haze, dreaming of a goal that seems so far out of reach. And when you open your eyes, you realize that you couldn't be any further from the vision you so desperately want in front of you. Henry Lin grew up in a small town in Burma country in South Asia, geographically located next to Thailand. With its harsh weathers and equally rough roads, trucks and SUVs ruled the course, and often the trails as you might find them to be. Coming from an area where cars were the last commodity, it wasn't until Henry moved to San Francisco, California where he knew he would have a shot at engaging the automotive culture. Read More

I have to start this article by being completely honest, the picture quality and the build on this car had me thinking it had to be a photo shop job. From the moment I had the chance to lay eyes on Sean Monlux's Scion FRS it had me craving for me. This car has been executed in such a flawless fashion it is hard to compare it to any other FRS on the street right now. For Sean the initial idea behind the Scion...errr Toyota was to keep it simple. A mild drop, a nice seat of wheels, and an audio system that kept him bumping on the way to work was the road about to be traveled. Little did Sean know his little 86 would not only get all this love but more than he could have expected. Read More

To the general public, the car is seen simply as a means of transportation whose sole purpose is to get you where you need to go. However, when does a car become more than just a car. Miguel’s show-stopping 1992 Honda Civic is much more than an average daily; it’s embellished with character and every part tells it’s own story. Read More

Leaving a good impression is something we all want to do in this lifetime. Whether it’s helping someone out in a jam, being a polite host, or just being a stand up person, everyone strives to leave a lasting mark on this earth.  Like so many of us, David “Slim” Whitehead wanted to make sure he built a car that left a lasting impression. His plan for the RSX you see in front of you was to be a nice signature; not over the top but something clean and tidy. At first sight, it's easy to understand why this car stands out in a field of many; the color, the wheels, the engine work, and everything about it  just flow so well together. David, having done most of the work himself, is always happy to receive the looks and questions from people that come across this unique Acura. Read More

This week, THE-LOWDOWN.com was kind enough to provide us with some rolling shots of the crew at Built To Order out of Austraila. As you scroll down through the pictures, most of you are probably wondering what the hell that blue thing is. Well, that's an HSV Maloo, yet another car we were not fortunate to get here in the States; instead, we received it's counterpart, the Pontiac G8. This particular Maloo hides a powerful V8 under the bonnet, as well as a set of VIP Modular VR08's under the arches. Next, the matte white S15 has been widened to situate a staggering set of 19" wheels; 10" and 12" in the front and back respectively. The white Civic, owned by Tarik Aly (Built To Order's co-owner), is fitted with a custom finished set of VIP Modular VXS210's, with other various pink accents, as well as a wire-tucked bay. Last, but certainly not least, the silver WRX is sporting a set of Avant Garde Wheels, finished with those vivid teal centers. Read More
