If you are unfamiliar with the word STEEZ, then its time to get familiar. Steez= Style with ease, or dope fresh style. So I decided to make this sight to give props to those who do their own thing and do it with Steez. For the people who build their cars for themselves and havent forgot why we got into this life style. Im also going to be doing features on cars that arent just hellaflush or only have looks going for them, I would like to show cars with horsepower to back them up and to promote the people and companies who helped make these builds possible.So I will be updating this as much as I can, with the freshest imports out there. Look out for Stickers and other merch in the near future,Stay Steezy.
STEEZY DOES IT!

Awsome site man, keep up the good work. I know I’ll stay tuned In the future. later man
Hey folks, heres an article I found years ago and its stuck with me all this time, it sums up why I do what I do
here goes…
Our enthusiasm for cars can teach us much about the rest of our lives. The feeling you get the day before a build is quite similar, whether more or less intense, to the one you experience when starting any new endeavor. While you may be excited about the new project (car related or not) there are always apprehensions that go hand in hand with the gusto.
With a new project build, these apprehensions usually include things like: Did I get all the parts I needed? Are those parts the right size? Or: Where the hell is my 17mm deep socket? Usually these variables have quick fixes. All you need to do is go grab the part you need, or buy another 17mm for $5 at Autozone. Real life apprehensions are slightly more difficult to deal with, as they’re almost never resolvable.
Am I ___ enough to ____? Is my ____ good enough? What does ____ think about me?
I think those differences have much to do with why I build these cars. I need to conquer something as complex as a car to make up for my inability to control everything else. When I put a motor together and get it in a car and running, thousands of parts are playing a beautiful symphony, and I am the conductor.
For every symphony there are as many chances for a weak link as there are players. If one trumpeter is off key, the whole orchestra sounds horrible.
A relatable example of this phenomenon is a botched build in a daily driver. Picture this; you’ve saved every dime you made over a whole year to buy an Integra GS-R. After buying the ‘Teg, you saved even more money to buy a turbo kit. Every egg you have is in this basket. If something goes wrong you’re out a daily driver, with no means of transportation whatsoever. With no way to work you’ll lose your job, and if you can’t pick her up to take her out, you’ll probably lose your girl too.
Now it’s time to install the kit. With all these thoughts about the possible negative outcomes it has become a bit scary, but you’ve convinced yourself for the past week or two that you’re ready for whatever comes out of this. As each part goes on smoothly, one after another, you start to get more and more excited. “Hell yeah,” you tell yourself, “Everything is working out perfectly.”
The build is done, turbo is installed, and you’re ready to drive that bitch. With all of the parts going on so smoothly your confidence in the project has gone up exponentially over the expanse of the build. What’s the obvious next step? Get in the driver’s seat and rip on it. Right?
You idle it down the driveway, palms sweating and sliding around on the steering wheel, and get it into the middle of the street. 1, 2, 3, GO! You watch the tach start moving as you feel the car lurch forward. That split second before you reach boost seems like a year. 4000 rpm comes and you’re thrown back in your seat. 5000, 6000, 7000, BOOM!!! The motor spews its guts all over the place. As you watch the white smoke and steam begin to rise up from under your precious Integra’s hood, you realize: “Damn! Those two wires you weren’t sure about on the ECU actually were crossed.” Too bad you spent your bus pass money on a turbo kit, you’re gonna need it now.
Life has its ups and downs, but it is always some little insignificant thing that will take you from sittin’ on top of the world to sittin’ in the back of the bus. The key is to keep on climbing back up, because even 10 seconds of a boosted ‘Teg is better than not having ever had one at all.
Sorry to post another long as number but this is even better, the reason im posting here is cause this site gives me the feeling you guys are on the same page as me, you do it for the same reason, not for the figures, the stats, the parts or the fame, but for the respect and originality, because its what we love to do
Here goes…
Found this Editorial from a guy that runs a tunning mag and tbh its pretty much how i feel! but at the same time this guys sounds a lil’ bit too angry to say im exactly like this!
read up and let me know what you think folks.
This Isn’t A Game
This phrase is pretty common on the forums: “The Honda game.” I thought it sounded kind of dumb the first time I heard it, and I still do. Games have points and scores, winners and losers. There are usually boards involved, balls to hit or kick, or at least controllers to thumb at. I’m not sure how it happened, but all of the sudden anybody who likes fixing up their Civic or Integra becomes a part of this game. Just because I don’t think it’s a game doesn’t mean it isn’t fun, but let’s be clear, we’re talking billions of dollars a year here and thousands of jobs. Either way, I don’t feel like playing; I just want to drive my cars, work on them when I’m not driving them, and look at other people’s the rest of the time. Game over.
This Isn’t A Scene
Since I’m not playing the game, I guess that means I can’t be a part of “the Honda scene,” even though I’m not really sure what this means exactly. You won’t see this word in Honda Tuning either simply because the word in and of itself represents something temporary. Sure, individual cars and projects won’t last forever, but your enthusiasm for them can.
This Isn’t A Lifestyle
Event promoters like to refer to our passion for Hondas as a lifestyle. Maybe it’s just me, but the Hondas I have parked in my garage don’t indicate the kind of lifestyle I lead. Cars are fun but there’s more to me than what I drive. Besides, anytime I hear the word lifestyle and Hondas in the same sentence it usually has something to do with a car show that I end up confusing for a nightclub. Somebody, please turn the lights on.
This Isn’t A Culture
Those same event promoters also like to label us as part of an “import culture.” I think this one sounds just as weird as lifestyle but still needs its own explanation. As far as I know, one’s culture has to do with traits like ethnicity, nationality-the things you learned about in social studies-not whether or not you’ve got a slammed EF parked in your driveway. Enough with the labels, let’s just enjoy our cars.
And You Probably Aren’t A Tuner
Oh, and despite what they tell you, you’re probably not a “tuner” either. Sorry, but if you don’t operate a dyno and aren’t among the few who actually know how to dial in an engine’s fuel and ignition parameters, then you aren’t a tuner. Incidentally, what the heck makes an Accord with some bolt-ons a “tuner car” but a Mustang with the same mods something else? We’re all enthusiasts who share one thing in common. Can we start acting like it?
Thanks for the support everyone! Keep doing what your doing!
