THE Protege
Our friend Sid brought us this sick Mazda owned by Kevin Noitalay. Thanks Sid!
- I started modding it basically as a car to have fun with, and to try things out on. I admit, it might have started a bit ricey, with the wheel gap and the full fiberglass body kit, but I guess I liked it at that point. It has definitely changed for the better, for some reason I just could never get enough low. Around freshman year in college I changed the front end and started getting more and more obsessed with going lower so I purchased the coil over sleeves, and still wasnt happy with my ride height. So then I looked into modifying the strut, and about a year ago I got introduced to "Hella Flush" and everything changed. haha I'll be getting full coilovers asap.
- To my brother for helping me out, the mazda forums for helping me dial in the stance, Everybody before me who has stanced their cars as inspiration, and of course the photographer, SID!
Props to Sid. Check out his Flickr here.

Euro Auto Festival 2010
Ryan Norris attended this year's Euro Auto Festival between Greenville, SC and Spartanburg, SC at the BMW Zentrum.
"The Euro Auto Festival was established to promote appreciation for vintage, classic and antique European vehicles. Each year sees entries from throughout the United States, Canada and England, with a full range of European cars on display, from classic to modern and everything in between."
This year the marquee car was Volkswagen and it seems there were plenty of VW's both water and air cooled in attendance but there was also no shortage of other European makes and models.
If you're interested in setting up a shoot with Ryan Norris to have some awesome pictures taken get in touch with us and we'll help you get in contact with him!

TN S2K
When I met Vance at the ISO II meet I had no idea our simple conversation would turn into a freindship, but I'm glad it did. Vance and I now share car knowledge on a regualr basis and as a result of that he has brought us this awesome feature.
Well it was back when I was about 14-15 years old when I met a very good friend of mine (my bro) he was kinda big in the scene, and his brother had a black 89 hatch si that I fell in love with. We started hanging out, he would show me honda tuning magazines and shit online and I was hooked. Then we would go to the fairgrounds for the drag races (wayyy back in the day when It was cool to do) then head over to special fx in murfreesboro, tn. Then I got super hooked, cars was all I thought about. Then I got my first car a black 89 hatch si with a b20vtec swap and did a few mods to it and it was on. Iv always loved cars seens the day I met my bro. I thank him all the time for getting me into cars. Its a addiction, buying parts, installing them, driving it around, and showing it off at a local car meet. Its something I cant get enough of to this day.
Hahaha its a pretty funny story kinda. Again back when I met my bro, I went over to his house for the first time he had a superstreet poster of a honda s2000 and I was like damnnnn I LOVE that car, and I would always tell myself Im going to get a s2000 one day. I went through a few cars, first a black 89 hatch si with a tuned b20vtec, then a red 89 hatch std gsr swap, then a white 95 bone stock eg hatch, and threw some work equips and other shit on it, then a 94 rhd eg hatch, then I got my 2nd favorite car, a 00 FBP em1, I loved that car. Then on one horrible feb night it was stolen from my driveway, I was crushed. I got it back a day later, still drove and stuff, just a few things stripped from it. I sold it to a very good friend of mine and I thought about it for a day and went ahead and got my 1st dream car, and thats how I picked my 01 gpw ap1.
You know I don't have to many. Car's mainly. I love wiring, idk why, alot of people hate it, it relaxes me. And sleeping lol. I do enjoy work sometimes. But a big hobby of mine would have to be sneakers, wiring, cars, hats, and hanging with good friends. Other than that I dont have many hobbies or interests.
Big thanks to Vance Milton for the photos and interview. Also props to team Grip N Sip!

Ryan Norris: H2Oi
We're really envious that we weren't able to attend this awesome Volkswagen filled weekend but we are glad that Ryan was able to! He and his friends set out for the long 10 hour drive early Thursday morning to arrive Thursday evening in time to grab some dinner and drinks and start exploring the already Euro infested island of Ocean City, MD.
Thursday night, Friday, and Saturday were all filled with cars and great people. Mr. Norris had the pleasure of being able to hang out with Connecticut's Get Low crew (owners of several notable Performance VW vehicles - the best of the best) as well as a lot of UrbanFlth's own friends including the guys from EuroWise.
Hand's down Ryan's favorite part of the weekend (aside from the never ending picture taking, hanging out and drinking) was the H2O Outcasts BMW meet which he said was very impressive.
(Question: More impressive than the actual show? Answer: Yes.)
Ryan spent his four days in Maryland surrounded by some of the country's most impressive cars as well as some of the country's most awesome people taking some of the country's greatest pictures... we wish we could've been there too!
