When BMW introduced the E30 Touring back in the '80s, they combined sport and utility to create a new wave of European wagons that were nimble, relatively quick, and nice to look at. It is no wonder ...
It's hard to believe it's already been a year since we found ourselves trackside at 2017's KW Shakedown. Hosted by our friends at KW Suspension, the Shakedown event was born as a private day at the t...
Photography by Mike Crawat Buying a car sight unseen is always a bit of a gamble. An inability to look a car over and scout for those hiding problems like rust, shoddy bodywork, or driving issues tha...
While standing trackside, with camera in hand, I often find myself musing on races of the past. What would it be like to be photographing those races decades ago? In the era when very little stood be...

Coilovers are typically pretty familiar territory for the StanceWorks crowd. For folks like us, they’re often the first, second, or at worst, third modification we make to any car. From improved hand...
The year 1986 was hardly a watershed moment for the Chevrolet Camaro. If anything, it was arguably a low point in "generation three." First, the top V8 lost power, going from 215 horsepower down to 1...
Byron’s E30 build could best be defined as a “slow burn.” It’s taken a lot of time to arrive here: the car we see today. Maybe it’s because ol’ Byza doesn’t work as quickly as he used to, his alter-e...
Photography by Mike Crawat One look inside Jens Lyphout's garage, and it's clear that he's a fan of classic Audis. With 3 Audi "oldtimers" at 23 years old, he's wasted no time finding his passion for...
Nothing prompts a Daily Grind update like an addition to the fleet: a well established tradition at this point. Over the weekend, we added a largely-original 1931 Ford Model A Pickup to the StanceWor...
In 2017, the StanceWorks Off Road crew planned a trip to the mountain ranges of Colorado, set for mid-summer as the temps throughout the country became unbearable and the climb to higher altitudes wo...
Speed Academy is back with another episode on their Nissan 240SX S14 project. The goal is to install a 2.4 L K24 inline-four with a BMW ZF five-speed manual transmission. In this episode the team ins...
Carl Taylor has made a name for himself, and it's one synonymous with some of the most vibrant, boldest builds out there, Stateside or not. He's no stranger to the StanceWorks homepage, nor seemingly...

He's back. For the third year in a row, Evan Brown returns, bringing heat to the winter with what may be StanceWorks's first-ever feature hat-trick for a single car. Version 3 of his Item-B RX7 sets ...
It's easy to forget that non-sunny weather exists as one sunny, 60 degree winter day rolls into the next, but mother nature seemed bent on a wet forecast for our early spring PRE/GRID get together. A...
The wonderfully talented Scott "Funky Mac" Mackay and Nick Dimitrov recently got together and put their talents to work. Featuring Nick's wild E30 M3 build and Mac's camera and editing work, the resu...
That's right folks, PRE/GRID is on, rain or shine. Head to the StanceWorks HQ and join us on Saturday for a day of celebrating vintage race cars, rain or shine. Details below:

Photography by Mike Crawat While the popularity of classic BMWs continues to grow, there are undoubtedly a few chassis that have been all but forgotten. The E21 is an obvious example, having fallen i...
Unfortunately, with a majority of vintage cars lacking their window glass and a rising chance of rain in tomorrow's forecast, we've decided to push the event back to March 10th from 11AM to 2PM. Let'...
For a car so stunning and elegant, I have few words. Perched upon the green of the 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, the '67 Ferrari 412 P Competizone was simply unparalleled. I've crossed paths...
In no way is Dirk Deppen's approach to building cars subtle. The idea of a "sleeper" is lost on him; the importance of aesthetics and the cohesion between style and performance are paramount in his l...
