Straight Outta Jersey!!

The United States has been taking the Stance Game to a whole new level.

New Jersey has been hitting the "Stance" Game even harder the last few month, with shows and cars from a whole new level. They have been having amazing cars going around at meets and car shows! 

With cars that you will be saying "WOW" to when you see it face to face.  

The East Coast has been busy stepping their game up trying to have the same competition the West Coast has to offer, but it's more about the builds and effort people put into them here.

 Darrian has one amazing build that he has taken on.  One Scion xB you will see around The East Coast is this xB, one that will never be copied or imitated!

Age is NOT a crime

Nowadays the majority of people place emphasis strictly on what is shiny and new, but every now and then you will find that purist that isn't ashamed to own an old car that actually shows its age. This is the case with Alex's Mk1 Cabriolet.

Alex has owned his cabrio for just under 3 years and from year to year I have watched the car evolve. Be it the small parts that nobody see's to the 3piece schmidt TH line's there is always something being done to the car.

BMW vs VW #Part2

Sunday morning, I know I am one to like a relaxed Sunday but it wouldn't be. It must have taken me forever to wake up as must have been ten in the morning or later I cant even remember, but what I can guarantee you is the festivities in the evening were surely ones that kept the camping spirit going.

People must have been up early as many of the guys that arrived Saturday had already cleaned their cars up and started with the finishing touches for the show and shine, while all of this was happening there was a very long line being formed at the door and from there on in it was just jaw dropping modded cars coming through the gate it was very hard to spot a normal car, I am not going to go in to detail the cars at show will speak for themselves.

And yet again a big thanks out to Rizo buddy you always doing the your best and it surely shows.

Peace,

Allie, Neckbreakerz

Topless In The City

This past weekend I took advantage of the great weather we have been having to shoot a few shots of Tudors TT. 

The car has only been in his possession for no longer than 6months. After having hung around me and my friends he knew that the car wasn't going to remain standard for long with all the wheel gap jokes flying around.

Sunday Chill Session

Sundays us friends normally hookup for chill sessions, where we normally just park somewhere and just start chatting/take photos and enjoy ourselves. When Thaabiet and Raushan messaged me, I thought why not take the camera with. Took a few shots, this is just a random post and not a feature. It was getting a bit dark so excuse the low key photos.  

BMW vs VW #Part1...

The two cars mentioned in the title may be the best German cars ever built and we would consider them to be the oldest of rivals, but when its comes down to what German car you would drive the stir between BMW and VW is one that is very quickly turned into a mine is better than yours and is always taken to the tarmac where rubber is burnt to prove a point.

Looking at how its done now I mean we couldn't agree more that the scene is more refined, classy and its a pure battle of being the man with a bigger set kahunas to be able do the unthinkable.

I took the time out to witness the first battle of the two German Giants for 2012 hosted by Rizo Kan from JHB Parties, and so another Saturday and up early having double checked everything we were on our way.

I met up with two crews Cheese Living and Showtime Fanatics who planned a joined convoy, we were all pretty prepared for the trip. As we drove an array of beemers and dubs lead the way to Lovers Rock in the Magaliesberg.

We arrived there and its wasn't busy, but Rizo kept the people entertained. Day 1 was more for friends to catch up and get acquainted with new people, and so that is what we did while we awaited for Sunday for the masses to arrive for the show...

JHB vs CPT Corsa fight. The JHB Rebel

So Saturday I spoke to Jason one of our Capetown photographers about me wanting to shoot a Corsa.

During the conversation we ended up having the whole Capetown vs Johannesburg drama lama discussion on hands again.

He then came up with the idea of having a double feature, I agreed upon this and he went to go arrange the fast Corsa for the photo shoot.

The JHB Corsa will be in the class of low n slow with the Cape Corsa being the coastal eater...

I will start off with the JHB Rebel.

Cosmin's Lo'W'gan

Okay so most of you are wondering what this car is right?? In SA they are branded as Renault Logan's and the Nissan LP200 bakkie...Here in Romania they are branded as Dacia Logan's and this particular example is known as the LOWgan KYS.

I met Cosmin about a year or so ago through a mutual friend and was instantly intrigued by his project.. It has been a labor of love and an ongoing project but the results can clearly be seen.

The major factor on this car is its one off custom air ride system making it the first Logan in the world on bag's. The way this car squats down is absolutely jaw dropping in person! I'll let the pics do the talking.

The original Blues...

Julian is actually an old school lover by  heart, the MK6 that you saw on here earlier is his first non old school car that he has owned, since owning cars.

The love that went into this car is like no other.

He bought the car and built it up from scratch to fit his taste.

Minty Fresh

After deciding that snapping some photos would be a better idea than finishing my physics project, I contacted Jarrod to do a shoot. Luckily he has access to the port at Cape Town Harbour so we made a mission and did a shoot there.

Hope you like.

When it rains it pours

I always wanted to shoot a car in the rain, but no one ever stepped up to the plate to try a bit of creativity. Fortunate for me Wesley booked a shoot with me and the weather was looking a bit gloom, so I asked him if he was up for a rain shoot. He was pretty keen on the idea, as he wanted something to a different effect for his photos.

Wesley car is pretty much standard just with a few added bits. 

The only mods he has on his b16 vtec is a short list of the following:

 Shortram induction with K&N filter

57 stainless steel exhaust system

Iridium spark plugs 

He also only uses Full synthetic motor oil on the car.

The added extra of a tilt and slide sunroof adds to a more luxuries feel within the cabin. 

Style department sees a set of 40mm Eibach coil spring kit running on a set of 15” Buddy Club P1 SF rims.

Other than that I’ll let the pictures do the talking, it was my first rain shoot and next time I’ll remember a umbrella!

Enjoy the photos Div.

Champagne Gold

Its that gold you will never find in this condition hence the title don't think to hard about it(evil laugh)

I met Nabeel not to long ago, I had taken a drive to the shop and I couldn't believe my eyes, upon taking a better look it wasn't a fox as I first thought but a clean champagne MK1 Jetta...he found this car as if it was a Cinderella story(not going into details its a long story)

I stopped to further inspect the car which is not a wise thing in my neighborhood but I couldn't simply just drive past, I was all smiles while looking at the car it was super clean original seats burnt to a sad orange by the sun, chocolate brown dash, everything was still well intact inside.

I then went into the shop and by sure curiousness, I turned to the first guy in the shop and guess what we had struck gold it was his car and just like that it had to be arranged on the spot, its not everyday that you get to see or shoot one of these at they are not exactly a common site especially in this condition.

Locations are scarce and it just struck me as a good idea to use a parking lot that was deserted it just made for a epic setting for this Granddad MK1 Jet, Nabeel kept mods to a minimum so few that it does the Jet justice simple 40mm drop, a set Lenso BSX 15" wrapped in 195/50/15 tyres...he is currently in the process of a transplant to remove the current 1.6 8v carb which is the original motor and replace it with a 2.0 16v to make for a better commute day to day.

I hope to feature this car again some time in the future when he does further mods, this is most definitely is one of those builds to look out for.

Chameleon Honda Civic

So Sunday I hooked up with Seviaro for a shoot on his Honda Civic Vtec. The highlight for me off the day was the colour of the car. With some cars colors I generally have to play around alot with my camera settings to get that sweet spot. This car i did not have to play around with the settings really, thats why I chose the name Chameleon, not just because its green, but because it blends in with the environment. I'm not much of a writer so I'm gonna jump straight to the specs.

Julian's MKsex

So the find of this car was faith...

I was on my way somewhere about 3 weeks ago when I drove past this car going to the BP garage that you will see in the background in some of the photo's.

About a week after spotting the car someone tagged me in a photo of this car on FB and kind of giving me the needed details to who owned the car, by following the names of all the tagged users, I found the guy with the profile pic to match the car.

10min later a message was sent and numbers exchanged, after meeting up with Julian or as most know him Blues, we actually begun to learn that we have quite a few things in common and became good friends in a short period of time.

Most might have seen his Red MK1 2door that was in Speed n Sound a year or so back.

(Will get it featured here soon)

So after him having stories for about 3 weeks I told him on Friday that I am coming to shoot the car at 5 so it better be ready.

5 o'clock came and what do you know the car was washed.

On my way to him I spotted this open space at a shopping center and just went with it.

The sun came down faster then planned but the photo's still worked for me.

SK8 or H8 @ Revolution SK8 Park

Neckbreakerz log…7^th of April 2012

It was time for SK8 or H8, it had been a week since we last spoke to the guys from Bencity and we worried whether Neckbreakerz would still be shooting at the event. With this being our first sports event and first indoor shoot we tried our best to be prepared as best possible.

We arrived at Revolution Skate Park (don’t even know what time) and at the desk our name was on the guest list so in we went in to find K who then explained what would happen for the day from there it was just us and quite a few Redbulls ”oh yes thanks to Redbull for keeping everybody going with the refreshments provided” so much movement so many people all over the show we found it hard to get around.

The free session was on and with a very entertaining Bencity emcee who kept the crowd going the bikers took to the half pipe for best trick which we still uncertain as to who won it…

The skate session was quite hectic as some guys felt that they were suppose to go through but at these kind of events the judge has the last say so round after round they finally got to the make where Andre took the skate session in pure skate style. At this point we had been waiting for the bikers to hit the park as they had been keeping us hyped the whole day.

3 groups of bikers and so the knockout yet gain had begun and it was heated oh boy,We couldn't even imagine ourselves doing some of the things these guys were doing but it made for great photos. We were very glad to here that Paul won with an awesome back-flip which had the crowd roaring.

Look-local made a turn at the event as well as a new clothing label Ubuntuism.

Just want to say thanks to Bencity for putting together an awesome event especially K for being such a good host, to Brad from Revolution Skate park for the venue and for hooking us up with a Butan hat.

You will be seeing us at more vent of this sort.

Peace,

ZacD & Allie , Neckbreakerz
