I woke up this morning with my inner 9 year old yelling at me to get out of bed and get the hell to work, and lets just say it wasn’t because I was so excited about marketing. I felt like the little boy at Christmas who just knew Santa was going to bring him exactly what he wanted. What was I hoping to get? Was it a Red Ryder BB gun, nope it was my Air Runner Suspension for Project VIP.

I have to say that I actually like this show, its one of my guilty pleasures. The first two seasons were ok, but season 3 has become a can’t miss in my opinion. This is all really in thanks to Team Wu. In case you aren’t watching, which you should be, Team Wu is a team of two brothers driving a 2005 Murcielago in custom digital camo.

It’s not just that they are in a sweet Lambo, its that they are straight up hilarious. Oh and there is a jacked up midget in a hummer too.

Let’s face it, most scooters are not the “coolest” rides out there. You say the word scooter to most people and they think of some effeminate guy with an ascot on a Vespa. Although there is one scooter that has really caught on with the import crowd, the Honda Ruckus.

In part one of our suspension guide we covered the cheapest way to lower your 03 M45, springs. Springs are great and will take out some of that nasty wheel gap but you are stuck at whatever height the spring was made for and none of the one for the m45 seem to get the drop just right.

So in part two we showed you another more adjustable option in coilovers. Coilovers eliminate the need to settle for one set height. With a wrench, jack, jack stands and say 30 minutes you can change your ride height as often as you like. Coilovers also offer you the ability to fine tune your suspension via dampening. The drawback is that 30 minutes it takes to change the ride height, not very handy if you come up on a speedbump or steep incline.

Enter Air Suspensions.

I don’t know why they keep releasing previews and trailers for Gran Turismo 5, we all know it is never going to come out. I think sony realized that there is no way it can live up to the hype so they figure they will just release a new amazing trailer every few months and never release the game. The trailer is after the jump, watch it if you want to be pissed.

If you watched the Oscars live then you probably saw the first official trailer for the upcoming Tron Legacy movie starring Academy Award winner Jeff Bridges. I have already said that I am super excited to see this movie. In the trailer they showed during the Oscars we see that Flynn has a son and his dad has been missing for years. The trailer is pretty cool showing us a glimpse inside Tron world but what you didn’t see is the second trailer.

The second trailer features an amazing light cycle battle that is going to rock in 3D. The videos are after the jump.

This one comes from the Jade mail bag. We get lots of mail at Jade asking all kinds of things but I thought this one was worth sharing. It comes down to an unwanted accessory and the void left behind when it is removed. The original email is after the jump along with my suggestions.

We decided to stop by and see what the boys at Titan Motorsports have been up to, and they have been busy. Titan started off as a small shop that really only specialized in Supras and has grown into a huge operation with a full race team and enough stock to modify half the cars in Orlando.

On this sunny Saturday I packed up the gear in Project VIP and set out to Titan’s new headquarters in the shadow of the Orlando Airport. The only other Jade ride to make it out was Vinny and his widebody STI. It was nice that Russ and Chad were in town to celebrate their mothers birthday. It was fun chilling with the boys again, felt like old times.

UPDATE: Video 1 Added (part 1 the shop)
UPDATE: Video 2 Added (part 2 the rides)

I recently attended this event for the first time thinking it would be a chill weekend  but I unexpectedly ended up running in to a lot of the people I knew from socal. It was so crowded that the lines wrapped around the garage an hour before it started up until we left .  This is definitely more the just a meet once a year, it has become the place to be if you’re a jdm/hellaflush crowd.  Wekfest is definitely an event you MUST attend.
