SP Rides: Just The Right Fit

Fresh outta high school, Shayne Javier’s first ride was an automatic 2008 Honda Civic LX. Although it wasn’t much performance wise, it happened to be a gift from his parents, so who was he to complain?  He worked with what he could as far as the appearance was concerned. However, soon, he began to hit the modification wall.

SP Rides: Driven to Succeed

As I pulled up to his shop, Nestor Canada was obviously busy getting down and dirty with one of his customer’s vehicles.

SP Rides: All Business

Born in Hawaii, raised in the Philippines, Arvic Navarro is back and he means business. Since 2014, he’s been living the entrepreneurial dream. Young and unassuming, his ride matches his style — a cool exterior with a bit of the unexpected underneath. This 2017 Subaru BRZ is function over form.

SP Rides: Simple and Sexy

At a young age, Michael Dalope’s first experience with cars was through his father’s boosted Lancer in the Philippines. It left an indelible impression upon him — so much so that the Lancer Evolution became his dream car.

SP Rides: The Purple Monster

It’s not often that you come across a ride like this 2004 BMW M3.  Known as the ultimate driving machine, the BMW M3 is an icon of the high-performance sports car.

SP Rides: In The Passing Lane

Living in Germany is a good way to pick up an appreciation for European stuff. For Cody Schiedler, it introduced him to taking a quick car and making it faster. It was his first taste, in this case it was an Audi A4, which he ended up making track ready — resulting in a Euro addiction that he can’t shake. Enter the TT RS.

SP Rides: Going the Distance

 It’s good to have a goal — for Tommy Heon, one of his current goals is to make an impact in the local import scene. It’s not something he set out to do initially. In fact, this 2013 Subaru BRZ was purchased practically stock for A to B purposes.

SP Rides: Out of the Ordinary

It started with coil-overs.  It must always start with something, but for Aaron Fune that was the trigger.  It’s hard to imagine a stock 2003 Infiniti G35 when you feast your eyes on this incredible ride. It’s no ordinary G.

SP Rides: Built For Attention

More than a year ago, the ride on this week’s StreetPulse was nothing but a bare-metal frame that was sitting on the side of Hannibal Puma Jr.’s house.  “Junior” as he’s affectionally known, is recognized for his love of lowriding and has been featured previously.
