After spending a long weekend hanging out with Andy & Emily of Powervehicles.com up in Ebisu, I couldn't head back home before grabbing at least one picture of their JZS161. This is the car they use as their daily driver, and is one of the cleanest Aristo around. It has been dropped on 19-inch AEM TM-02 wheels thanks to a set of GP Sports G-Master suspension and sits nice and flush thanks to the flared rear arches and front Kazama Auto FRP fenders. The unique look comes from the full Kazama...

I don't think any sort of caption or comment can do justice to the beauty of this car.
This photo actually reminds me of a real life version of the Shakotan Boogie manga.
I'm thinking maybe I should do a story on the comic considering it fits right in with our theme this month?

The boys at C's Garage are at it again. Maybe some of you remember my feature about these brothers? This yellow S13 belongs to Joel and it rolled on Work VX-SS wheels before. But now Joel made a step up and bought himself a set of 19" Weds Kranze wheels. The fitment of the rear wheels is even better than before. -Jeroen Willemsen

I've posted quite a few Honda compacts and vans over the past couple weeks, so I figured it was time to show some Toyota love. In this case we have a JDM Toyota Vitz (aka Yaris) modified in a European style. This Euro style seems to getting more popular in Japan, with owners applying VW and Audi style modifications to their domestic cars. In this case the Vitz has some subtle body mods and is dropped on 17x8 and 17x8.5 RH ZW1 wheels with 195/40/17 tires.
The result is a unique combination of Japanese and European automotive tastes.

Seeing that we're in the middle of a month for all things stanced and flush I thought I'd share a snap that was taken of my newly finished Bee*r B324R drift car. This snap was taken late in the day during a recent British Drift Championship licensing day at Llandow circuit in South Wales. I've affectionately nicknamed this car the Yellow Banana and it has gone through quite a transformation in my 11months of ownership, more so over the last couple of weeks. Note a little historical token...

I saw some of you guys commenting on Dino's feature of the ‘Natty Dread' Porsche regarding the Sunburst 993. So I dug up this shot of the Sunburst demo car doing some laps around Tsukuba. The orange color scheme really sets it off but it doesn't make it look as menacing as the Rauh Welt build car. The offset on the other hand does work wonders, especially considering the massive fenders. -Jeroen Willemsen

For those of you who have been waiting to see more "functional" machines on Speedhunters this month, don't worry. Tomorrow is the annual Super Lap Finals at Butonwillow Raceway, and I'll be heading out bright and early to bring you guys the action.
Even better, if you live in California and can find an excuse to get out of work or school for the day, you can head to Buttonwillow tomorrow and see it for yourself!
If not, stay tuned to the site.

When it comes to getting the right stance, there's nothing more hardcore than radiusing your fenders so you can fit monster-sized wheels.
It's hard to believe that this CE1 Honda Accord Wagon rolled off the showroom floor equipped with puny 15"x6 wheels.
I've been kicking around the idea of picking up another Accord Wagon for the wife to drive to work and back, I wonder if she'd be down with something like this?

I just got a link to this website called Mizenkoltd.com . I spotted this Mercedes on airbags and wire wheels. I love the look of a retro car slammed to the ground. -Jeroen Willemsen

While out running a few errands around Southern California, I spotted this Imperial Jade Mica Lexus LS400, with a Youzealand SS kit, in the parking lot of a local electronics store. I noticed it had a "Goodfeeling" vinyl in the rear window and instantly recognized it as a local Orange County hard park crew......

This fresh looking Golf MK4 was spotted at the recent Westside Show in the UK. You see a lot of rims that come from higher end cars ending up on cars in the VW community. This time the owner of this Golf got himself a set of wheels from the Porsche Turbo. It just shows that a design that has been made exclusively for a Porsche also works wonders on other cars. -Jeroen Willemsen Picture taken from Tej's flickr stream

This low-riding Porsche 914-6 belongs to Speedhunters.com reader Martin, who sent me this stunning shot of his car. It sounds like quite a beast fitted with a close to 300 HP 3.5L flat-6, replacing the stock 110 HP 2L. On top of all the mechanical modifications, which also include 930 brakes and GT stiffening suspension plates, Martin also fitted the steel GT fender flares and had the rear ones further widened by 1-inch. The car rides on the stock 15-inch Fuchs wheels that sit neatly inside the arches...

I spotted this Ings-kitted Lexus LS this last summer at the Okayama round of D1, parked up in the VIP lot. It was probably running a ride-height controller to get the air-suspension to drop to their lowest setting I thought it looked pretty menacing. I think it could have done with more offset to get those 20-inchLS Sport LM VIII to sit a little more flush. Ings Website -Dino Dalle Carbonare

There is just no denying that the VW community have the Stance is Everything theme perfected. Here we have another example that proves that. The BBS LM wheels are a perfect match for this Golf mk4, there is a little bit of tuck but I'm sure it can drive without a hitch. The black accent on the frontbumper is also a cool touch. -Jeroen Willemsen Thanks to Oliver Verheij for the use of this picture.

Some of you had a ‘problem' with the amount of camber on my latest feature . So here is another take on a similar level, this time on a JZX100. The car is just as low but doesn't have the camber. The wheels seems to be a set of Vienna's Noble in black; the contrast works very well with the red exterior. -Jeroen Willemsen

This mk2 with what looks like to be Regamasters replicas looks stunning. In his previous setup the owner was rocking some Audi wheels, but I really prefer this more track oriented look. You can find more pictures on the owners Flickr account . Originally spotted on Supermade. -Jeroen Willemsen

What better way to start this month with the Spirant build JZX100. Any change is a welcome excuse to get this car on Speedhunter. This time the owner has had a small refresh with some new decals. The car is a favorite of mine for a long time. This car has the stance department on lock, it looks that good. -Jeroen Willemsen

Some of you should recognize this car as the 550 Maranello that has been build by Garage Saurus . It's a car that is constant developing. I have been following the build and I have been amazed at the quality of the build. This time they went out for a track day on the Fuji Speedway for some much needed testing. It is just a testament that Garage Saurus is still one of Japans greatest tuners. JeroenWillemsen

Found this really cool photo on the Noblesse offical site, taken before a huge nationwide Honda Fit meeting in Japan earlier this month.
Noblesse never fails to impress, whether it's with their sexy dress-up builds or their track cars.
