View Full Version : Stanced Magazine.... Seriously?
What is this world coming to?
http://alltheragefaces.com/img/faces/png/misc-are-you-fucking-kidding-me-clean.png
Im sure some of you would have seen it and bought a copy, but are they fucking serious? EMG, who own majority of the automotive magazines being published, LOVE trying to cash in on scenes. They are the same company as Bagged minitrucking magazine, along with hpi, and just put old articles into different covers.
http://alltheragefaces.com/img/faces/png/misc-seriously.png
The thing that frustrates the fuck out of me is that nothing we do to our cars is seen by the public and law enforcement to be legitimate. So why Publicly Publish it? I remember when they came into this forum a year or two ago proposing the idea, and I said exactly this....
http://alltheragefaces.com/img/faces/png/angry-desk-flip.png
Now, I almost guarentee there will be an influx of civics on OG Axis and pulsars on XXR's.. Brace yourselves people, trend hoppers will no doubt be crashing our meets 100% until the next big fad is to come along and EMG make a magazine about it. I guess im going to have to get used to the fact that police will now take a lot more notice of our cars and what we do...

Dispite my use of rage faces making this seem somewhat comical, They actually express how I feel about this topic. Soon will be the day where we get pulled over and police will actually know their shit about wheel fitment. Soon will be the day where we will no longer be able to have our cars as they are. The biggest thing that actually makes me mad is these cunts are sitting back and watching all the fucking idiots buy this magazine and counting the cash roll in, with no regard to the community within the 'scene'.
If any of you think I am wrong in saying what Im saying, thats fine, so be it. Hell you may aswell try and get a feature in the magazine and enjoy the shortlived fame. Aslong as you are happy to hop on over to the next trend, good luck to you.
Its a dark day for us.

This, This I don't like the most...
Meet/Cruise crashers that will ofcourse have an urge to "Show Off" An do a burnout, Thinking it is the "Thing"... The ones that will abbuse the right of stickers an the effect of sticker-bombing. The reasons behind a lot of styles related with this scene will become slaughtered.
There is something we can actually be glad of, 95% of Aussies don't understand fitment or offset. So it'll be like kids buying Drift magazines or when you grab the ol' nudie mag. Rub one out an throw it awa an sometimes put the Calendar on your wall.
Police, Well. They've been clue'ing on for a while now about fitment. The appeal we still have is none of us have the need to Drive fast or Do a burnout with our rides. We love being able to "Roll Hard" so to say. An enjoy cruising as a family, Where people will sit on or just under the speed limit. Because we are all eyeballing eachothers cars for what they are, an loving every bit of it. There is no need to Accelerate from 90-130km/h constantly so everyone can hear your exhaust or see how your IRS squats.
This scene relies on being a family, An I hope to join the Melbourne family with my BMW soon enough :)

well put ox.
even though i will still buy the magazine, as i enjoy the reading, even if i can do it online, and i find that it can be a bit of a learning source, and i can claim money back from the government for magazines.
i read about 3-5 different magazines atm.

As a mate, I would insist that you dont give them the satisfaction of paying money for the magazine. I can see this being a key factor in the downfall of the scene.

biggest waste of 10 dollars
What I can't understand is why people read these magazines and decide that this is exactly what you must do to your car to make it 'cool'.
Doesn't this exact thing take away from the fact that each car is supposed to be 'your own' so to speak?
Honestly that is the main thing that pisses me off. It takes away the purpose of being a community, when every fuckwit will smash on some fatlace stickers put on some fucking ADVANTI rims with hectic poke on their VS commodores.

I wrote other shit after that about the mag, but somehow it didn't post.
IIRC, I said if this mag is being made, I would like for someone to buy one and scan the interesting pages for everyone else to see on here. :)
There are no interesting pages.... All of the info in the mag is second hand off the internet.
wrote a massive rage sesh in random just then,
in short....
went to a "meet" on saturday night and there was nuthing but non fitted stock ride height POS cars filled with illest badges/stickerbombed/hella flush.....made me want to go and repaint my wheels and rip all my stickers off just to be diffrent again, then i thought no....ill show these cunts how its really done

That's it aj. Education. I see commos and legal height rides rock that hellaflush stickers. Then i roll up and they just stare in awe. Take note! Haha
Police will catch on. It's not a matter of if. In our country, getting defected is a part of the lifestyle. Yes it's a bitch to clear, but it's a part of the game. Seperates the posers from the committed players in my opinion.
When I go for a drive, I try avoid the places and times where I think cops will be. Yes it's a bitcj but there's other ways around to get to places. If I see tmu patrolling I'll Facebook it so the crew is aware. All about sticking together. And that's where community and familia come in

this threads got to be a joke right?
cops catching on, to what? cars have been getting done for too low way before "stance" became the in thing and as for being done for 'fitment' those laws have been around a heck of a lot longer than the current fad, wheels outside body line, tyre load limits etc which are all the laws they use to get us for now..
Dont blame the magazine its just a business out to make $$$ good for them, as for people copying, dont think you'll see a single thing that hasn't been done before somewhere else ie USA/Europe etc. So what seperates you from some kid who see's it in the latest "stanced magazine" and immitates that?
You guys didnt create 'stance'.
mohsen
01-16-2012, 09:25 PM
stanceworks australia didnt create stance but it sure did a fair bit for the scene in australia..
the point is, when getting booked all you get done for is ride height and the cop would tell ya to change your wheels. thats it. but with the magazine being on sale now. people are going to catch on even more than before. cops gonna start doing research into it etc etc and it will just snowball from there. just like how they go through SAU alex, they will eventually end up on here

still fail to see what damage a magazine has done.
what exactly do the cops not know now? you think people havent been getting done for airbags for years? Stance doesnt require rocket science moh and frankly if you got a stock car apart from the height and wheels quit whinging - try engine mods, epa issues on top of your 'stance problems'
This thread is a beat up is all im saying. I dont appreciate been pulled over / defected either but i'm not gonna blame a magazine i mean fark what about the internet and 11bty blogs/sites with pics, specs and builds? or what about the youtube vids of meets etc?

You arent seeing the point I was trying to make with this thread, but then again you wouldnt understand what this "community" is about... If you came to every meet we have, or even other meets in general you might understand what effect a magazine can have on communities.
The part where you say "So what seperates you from some kid who see's it in the latest "stanced magazine" and immitates that?" Seriously?
If some trend hopper see's the magazine, goes and buys the cheapest nissan/honda he can find, throws on a set of 0 offset xxrs with a foot full of wheel gap and poke gets pulled over repeatedly trying to be cool.
Then you get the guys who are in it for the style, and do it all day everyday who arent trying to be "The next big thing" and we get pulled over because our wheels look wide, yet sit inside the guards, is that not directly effecting us?
The kid trying to be cool will sell the car and move on, because he has no passion, no care for what its all about.... For the guys who want to do it on a long term timeline, they get shafted as new laws will be introduced due to the influx of shitheaps on the road and people "posing".
If people copied what I do, which is spend hours and thousands of dollars on what I love then there is no issue.. When people buy coilovers and throw on XXR's that dont even break the $1kmark, then there is an issue.
Again, you wouldnt understand since you rarely drive your car, nor come to any meets or events. I understand life can be quite busy, especially in your shoes, so I dont mean to single you out, not that you would even care, but this community plays a big part in my Life, hence why I shared my thoughts with this community, if you dont like what Im saying, dont take too much offence..

solely blaming a magazine for fan boys - ie your 1k worth of wheels and coils, is misguided they exist now i have been and go to plenty of meets unfortunately sw meets clash with work for me typically so i cant comment directly on that but most of the meets i go to are full of cars that i wouldnt look twice at but thats actually what its all about. Yep you've got freinds here a good community going on but is it an exlusive illuminati? no - so these dudes maybe they dont have the means to achieve what some other cars have and what you think is the bench mark for how a car should be.
Who says xxr wheels are unacceptable? What basis do you have to look down on someone with them - Just the same as guys who mod civics, or honda jazz's i mean they put tow hook on them ffs! a jazz couldnt tow a corn flakes box but hey its cool yeh?
I'm not having a dig at you or your community, but its an absolute cop out to blame a magazine for potentially ruining your culture. What WILL ruin it is frowning on people and the cars you feel are inferior or not up to standard to associate with you and your mates I've been around cars for a very long time through heaps of different fads and styles one thing thats always stayed true is guys having a good time hanging out.. not a pissing contest about fake wheels / real wheels.
Take SAU someone does a runner from cops in adelaide ina skyline they all start hyperventalating they are gonna cop it harder from the popo because of that one persons actions - get real! the stigma and reputation is firmly ingrained its not going anywehere i new that when i bought another skyline doesnt faze me in the slightest what reputation they have. I'm lucky enough to have two cars and frankly couldnt drive a skyline with my work if i wanted to ( maybe a 35 if i could afford one :D haha)

Im not Soley blaming this magazine.... I know there are thousands of blogs/websites to do with this... I also know there are thousands of people that wouldnt know how to navigate the internet to find them... As for looking down on peoples cars, I dont look down on people at all.. I will apreciate the amount of work peolpe put into their cars, fake wheels or not, if someone puts serious effort in then Im all for it. But when people spend $800 on a set of XXR wheels, If I know them Ill tell them I dont like them..
For $800 you can find plenty of wheels on YJ or the like, after all, standing out from the crowd is usually what we like to do anyways. The basis for me not accepting XXR wheels is the same as many people who collect/love wheels. Why buy a replica when you can buy the real thing?
Call me a dick, douche, cock sucker, whatever for disliking replica/fake wheels... Im not really fussed.. Also, this isnt MY community, its our community. just thought I'd clarify that..

I understand the frustration at the magazine, but I agree with alr33x. I've been involved in the modified car scene since I was a kid in the late 90s, and there was never a time when cops ignored modified cars. They'd pull over stock WRXs at every opportunity and ACA would run stories on how we were ruining the community whenever someone did a burnout. The Autosalon movement, coupled with the Fast and the Furious movies, brought the scene into the mainstream consciousness. But it was hardly underground before that happened.
I've never seen a movement stay underground. Indie/hipster/dubstep/stance... guys even fucking scientology is now a multi-bullion dollar machine. Stance hasn't been underground for at least a year by my reckoning. It's just the progression of the modified car scene. No-one wants to be left out, we all want to be on the cool kids table. And right now, that's you guys.

"Just the same as guys who mod civics, or honda jazz's i mean they put tow hook on them ffs! a jazz couldnt tow a corn flakes box but hey its cool yeh?"
they cant tow, but the break down alot and need to be towed ^_^
any way....im just disgusted with what i saw on saturday night. really is this what the "JDM" car scean has come down too? pure filth, i wouldent even help the cunts out of the car if their car was on fire....one less monstrosity that will ever get built again. stock wrx's plastered with stickers and illest bages, cunts with fake wheels and a foot of wheel gap or even worse cunts with huge offset and 3 foot of wheel gap
i see more and more "done up" cars every day and on too often of an ocasion when i try to have a conversation about the persons car becasue i might be mirin/trying to be nice to the person about their shit heap they have NFI what im talking about and are just doing it to look cool. i never got into cars to "look cool" i got into cars because the love of cars from my older brother/father rubbed off on to me and i now love tinkering with cars more then i do any thing else in my life.
and in this "look cool" fad HAS come with a fuck load of police attention.
aler33x you said you had been around cars since the early 90's then you too should know that the police attention towards cars was NO WHERE near as bad as what it is today.
i.e i was driving my missus to work on the freeway yesterday, 4 cars ahead of me in the right lane were sitting on 110+ i cruise up doing 98 to spot an undercover in the middle lane to see him staring me down in his side mirror, that fucking cunt let 4 people speeding pass him just so he could wait for me to come up next to him.
in saying that i sat on 80 on the freeway pulled in behind him and took the next exit to gtfo of their and it was too late for him to exit.

01-17-2012, 03:58 PM
Police attention is worse now in that they hand out defects my first 33 which was more stock than my current one I got pulled over 35 odd times in 15 months so no the attention isn't worse the outcome of the attention is worse
Police attention is worse now in that they hand out defects my first 33 which was more stock than my current one I got pulled over 35 odd times in 15 months so no the attention isn't worse the outcome of the attention is worse
But isn't that exactly what ox was saying in the first place? It's not that police attention has become more serious, it's that the police are now being serious about the way we mod our cars, take mohs car for example, he got pulled over the other week because we was to low, wheels to much poke and what not, but he got let off because, well, I guess the cop was a nice bloke,
But the thing that is going to happen as a result of this magazine being out is that when things like this happen, the cops arnt just going to admire our cars anymore, it isn't going to be a 'just make sure you fix it' slap on the wrist kind of thing, given, I admit that this isn't entirely the magazines fault and that there is most definatly more police attention and awareness on the 'scene' that people have decided is the 'cool' thing.
That was always going to happen though, more stickered cars, more police being told to look for stickered cars, more low cars, police crack down on lower cars etc. I think in the end the real problem is going to be the community here, and elsewhere who are in it for the pure love of cars, and not to just do it because thats what they saw on a hellaflush meet video, are going to be effected in a negative light.
And fucking nobody likes being looked upon like that.

I personally don't see it that way at all defects for to low have been around forever it's not new. Moh got lucky thats all it was not cos the cop did or didn't know what they were looking at.
Perhaps you guys need to harden up a bit what your whinging about is what the rest of the car scene has been putting up with forever - modify a car expect the attention and penalties that come with it
No one is whinging about getting defected... The issue is exploiting this form of modifying for profit without thinking about the people who arent in it for the short term.

I personally don't see it that way at all defects for to low have been around forever it's not new. Moh got lucky thats all it was not cos the cop did or didn't know what they were looking at.
Perhaps you guys need to harden up a bit what your whinging about is what the rest of the car scene has been putting up with forever - modify a car expect the attention and penalties that come with it
on both occasions, the cop didnt know what they were looking at. all they said was tyre poking and lows. mostly the poke.
they both said "your wheels are too big. what size are they" and before i could say 10" wide, they asked 18s?
yes officer. they are 18s. my car came out with 17s factory. had they known about the width and tyres i would have copped it.

so your issue is with a commercial world?
they arent really exploiting it either, merely showcasing it i fail to see why your so negative toward it, I bet it will make zero difference with or without this magazine as to the level of police attention or fan boys or whatever you want to call it.
Nothing here is new, nobody has created anything or been sold out its just the evolution of it and if it encourages more people to get involved i dont see it as a bad thing.
moh they 100% new what they are looking at, dont think you outsmarted them. And i'd be suprised if your car failed a height test as it is. Do you think they couldnt tell your rims were wider than they shoudl be? More like they couldnt be farked with the paperwork.

indeed. as with all car brands, theres owners who are dipshits, and owners who do things right, just look at some of the ve pontiacs coming out of the states wth good fitment.

To be honest I stopped caring after the last big sw meet when people started ripping skids after I had just smoothed things over with the cops.. just means that more dickheads will jump on board...
I have decided that SW is going to take a step back in Australia... Events and meets will be sms only, to only people we know and trust (Including the guys on here that are pretty regular). Things like hella flush we will go to, but thats about it. Its too hard in this country for our cars to look different.
As for commonwhores, If they are like those examples where there are dollars in them and they arent on rotas/cut springs, Im all for it.

Is the main reason for this purely because of all the douche bags who enjoy wrecking people's night because they insist on burnouts on entry/exit?

I would love it if there were more nicely done commodores out there. Would be a change from just slammed on chromies that i usually see. I still appreciate a nicely done commodore/ford, just most the time they aren't. imo anyway, i'm sure they look spot on to the owner.
Although, last night i saw a monaro in the turning lane at a set of traffic lights, the car in front of him didn't realise it was a green arrow, so instead of giving him a little toot to get him to go, the monaro driver thought it would be a better idea to do a massive stand still burn-out right behind the other car. In the middle of Ringwood main street, at 8pm on a friday night... real smart fuck head, keep giving the car scene a bad name....................
i think ox is in the right direction, as cool as it would be to have a huge stanced community it wouldent be a community, it would be just a bunch of stanced people gathered in the one spot.
im currently extremely happy with where s.w aus is at the moment, sharing some laughs/working on each others cars/being good mates with people i have grown to love [nohomo] and unfortunately every p plater these days seem to be catching on to "stance". I'm constantly getting hounded lately by young p platers speeding up to me just to tell me how "sick" my stance is, as much as my head grows i look at their fake wheels and shit ride height and think to my self.....wtf is this coming too, this cunt obviously has no idea? some times i think i should just put some normal wheels on so people dont confuse me with these dick heads.....
s/w is a community/family that shares a passion, nice clean cars that are fitted. the new generation dosent see that, they just see that its the cool thing to do there fucking it up for all of us on here.
edit: and back on topic, i dont give a fuck what any one else says, this shit magazine is helping it ruin us by making people think that it is the cool thing to do these days other wise why would of they brought this shit magazine out?

That is true what Adrian said, trends come and go. You can't stop it, it's like everything else around you. Fashion for example, snapbacks seem to be the cool things these days for kids - they can't justify paying for a genuine new era so they resort to replica caps from laverton market. It will only die down when it goes out of fashion and something else catches on.

"Oh Stanced magazine is just cashing in on a fad"
Meanwhile you're selling SW stickers. To cash in on anyone who has a 'stanced' car who feels the need to tell the world they populate a forum.
How is that a double standard?
The money made off stickers goes back into the community to grow it, to put towards keeping the forum running and future events.
What does the money from the magazine do for us? Where does it go? Into the community? No. Into the pockets of the company publishing the mag, who will undoubtedly publish the next fad to come along.

Actually, not necessarily. I'm joining in with the STANCE community.
You could say that all "newcomers" are just following the fad of STANCE, but then again, that would mean that you too follow the fad.
To me STANCE isn't a fad. It isn't something people just say, oh we'll do it, and then when the next thing comes along they change. I have always wanted my bug to scrape, and when I found out about STANCE|WORKS through a mate, I was sold on the idea.
Just because my post count is low doesn't mean I'm just following a fad. It means I am learning, I am reading as much as I can to get as much information as possible before I jump in with my bug and try and get the first beetle with poke and stretched tires on the road...

if someone is devoted to making there car "stanced" or whatever you want to call it, they will:
A. research research research
B. not stop researching until they can find away to achieve what they want
or C. improvise, step out of the box, use their brain and figure out a way to make their dream happen
basically the way i see it is don't reply to random people who cant take more then 5 seconds out of their busy lives to try and learn what the hell a coilover is or a top plate or how to adjust camber, roll fenders, size wheels... the list goes on and on... if it is someone who is stuck and has put time in to research, i say help them, but if they wont put in the effort themselves i say ignore them. that's one way to stop some of the "trend hoppers" and "ricer wanna be cool kids".
