So after a bit of thinking and some discussions with Tranz and a couple other people, I feel like we need some form of screening process for the cars that are entering under the Stanceworks banner. I have had a discussion with Robin and have worked out we have roughly 20 spots, give or take, for us as a colaborative group with House of Stance. That number may be pushed to 25 IF we work out which cars are actually entering.
Back in 2012 we drove interstate for the first Showcased, where we similarly colaborated with House of Stance, without really knowing it. Both Ray and Tony entered with us, and Chook was right across the road, where we took out the #1 car club trophy, and Chook took out best stance. That was a killer weekend, there were many good memories made and friendships formed. We also showed up with some of the best (in my own opinion) fitted cars at the time.
Fast forward to now. In the current "scene" there are many people and "crews" that are trying to pull off the fitted look that we all love. Some of them are actually doing a fantastic job of it and here lies my thinking that at 100mm, since we are colaborating with HoS, we have to bring 100% to the show. There really isnt any room for any wheel gap, or lack of offset. If the wheels are tucking, the rails have to be touching. If the wheels are poking, there needs to be adequate camber dialed in for that jaw dropping look.
Ill give you an example.
As cool as the civic was at this point in its life, Turbocharged, bagged, fun, it never recieved as much attention as it did when it looked like this:
Another example I will use is Foffs R32 golf. Foff knows I will always have love for him.
As good as this looks, It doesn't jump out anywhere near as much as the LM's.
So basically, there is going to be some criteria that you will need to meet to enter as a part of out colaboration. I understand that people are building their cars for this and not everything is there yet, so pictures cant be supplied. At the same time if people are trying to get their cars ready, but dont hold the same vision as what we need, then there shouldnt be a real rush on getting parts if it isnt going to make the cut. If you're reading any of this and thinking "Ox and SW can go fuck themselves" then have a cup of cement, harden the fuck up, make like a tree and leave.
Post up a picture of your car currently, and what it is that you are buying/planning/doing to it to make the cut. As you progress, Update us in here. Some cars are already close to being ready. As the visions become realities a list will be formed untill we have filled our spaces.
This thread is purely for the SW cars entering, as HoS have the same high expectations and all cars that come under their banner will meet said expectations.
