We’re back! After 3 successful years at Downsview Park, it’s time for us to move to a larger location which can house our growing numbers! This year, we’re excited to announce the 4th Annual Fitted Lifestyle event will be at the Brampton Fairgrounds (12942 Heart Lake Rd, Caledon, ON L7C 2J3 Canada) on Saturday May 25, 2013!

Lots of new exciting details are in the works and we promise to have a big announcement soon! During our time off, we’ve had a large number of feature submissions and as usual, only the best make the site! This one comes from the land …continue…
We all have our favorite rides, favorite builds, and favorite crews. The popular ones represent quality consistently throughout their ranks, gaining them Internet notoriety and that hood famous steez from blog to blog. I can remember some of my favorite crews from the past were RJ Devera’s Team Kozoku and the Bay area’s Z.Team Yossi. Then came Tiiiteboy Racing who popularized the JDM Honda scene through Jason Katman. Next up …continue…

Late in 2012, we had an opportunity to collaborate with some of the industry heavy-hitters in Toronto including Firebox Management, Importfest, Titoboy Approved, Restyle It, 20hz Audio, Nextmod, Velocity Autobody, and King of Wheels. The project was a aesthetic design collaboration for vehicles supplied by Kia Canada for use within the Shawn Desman, Kaitlyn Leeb, MuchMusic movie entitled ALIVE. We had a great time providing our design input and ensuring …continue…
By now, you’ve probably seen quite a few pics of Pat Cyr’s Drift FR-S representing Cyrious Garageworks x Scion Racing. The first photo leaked onto the web through Scion Canada during the first week of January 2013, quickly followed by official photos from Ste at Shutterlit. That was just the start, the official debut at the Montreal International Auto Show soon garnered the Cyrious team the media coverage it fully …continue…
Ah, the elusive VW R32! This high-performance Golf GTi variant is a much-coveted vehicle that never got the love VW/Audi enthusiasts demanded in Canada. The R32 never shipped to Canada for the MK4 model year so we had to live its performance dreams through lucky owners south of the border. One such lucky person is Genaro Romero from New Jersey. Genaro recalls dreaming of owning a R32 while in high …continue…
Backstage Productions has just released their 2012 Showreel and we’re proud to feature it for our readers. It’s a quick glimpse at all the notable events and happenings which you may have missed or experienced this past year. It also exposes you to some of Chris’s work at Backstage for those who are uninitiated on his talent! Besides being great friends of ours, Backstage Productions is also our official media …continue…
The tuner culture arose because people simply wanted more from their cars. Auto enthusiasts desired more power, better parts, different styling, a lower ride, and the list goes on. Unfortunately, the majority of auto manufacturers do not build cars based on these needs. Instead, we are presented with tame and safe vehicles which simply skirt the borders of what enthusiasts truly want. Of course, there are always the extreme exceptions …continue…
As promised, we continue to bring you coverage from our friends out west. We’re graced with the privilege of featuring Punit Patel’s Acura Integra representing illmotion and Level One. As you can tell by the photos, this is no ordinary DC2 chassis. The exterior may look familiar but its specs and work breathe a refreshing life into this timeless favorite. We don’t expect you to take our word for it …continue…
Our focus at S&P has always been to expand and promote Canadian content as much as possible. Unfortunately, we don’t have contributors out west so when the Calgary-based fellas at illmotion offered some content I was quick to accept their generous offer. In this feature, the old adage of “it runs in the family” is certainly the case with the O’Hara brothers, Corey and Ryan. They’re the respective owners of …continue…
I remember laying my eyes on this particular S2000 while visiting friends at Nextmod earlier this year. At that time, it was rocking the same coveted Volk Racing TE37SL wheels but the car did not resemble what we’re presented with today. This 2006 Honda S2000 belongs to Jacky Chu and is yet another one of Toronto, Canada’s excellent examples of a well-executed S2K with all the right parts. I think …continue…
