HIN/NOPI Englishtown car show = NO trophies?!?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|JM|

by JuliusMayoJr on Jul.27, 2010, under Automotive News

A rainy weekend in Englishtown, NJ was host to the HIN/NOPI car show this past weekend. At the shows end, car show participants were upset, and for a very good reason, because the NOPI-HIN staff tells them they will not be annoucing winners and they will just mail home the trophies. Really?!? With years of experience throwing events you figure this would not happen. Well the participants have spoken and the following videos says it all. Not a good start to a car show series when the country is craving quality events…Video after the jump.

Forged Performance Dyno Day

Our friends at Forged Performance had their annual dyno day and they invited Jade Motorsports to attend. So we took our Zero Force widebody NSX and Nissan Fairlady 370Z to the event. It was a great event and was catered by World Champion BBQ winner, Sam’s BBQ1. Plenty of imports and exotics came out for the event. There were a number of 500hp runs, and plenty of turbo spool to make you drool! Two of Ford’s powerhouses came out and flexed their muscle on the Forged Performance Dyno Dynamics, quite impressive! See the video for yourself.

by WBJ on Jun.22, 2010, under Jade Corner

I always find some interesting things in the traffic reports for jadecrew.com. I noticed we are getting a bit of traffic from this link. Apparently Russian’s don’t just appreciate Caviar and Fine Vodka. It turns out it is a Russian car forum and they are discussing the install article of the Air Runners on the Y34.

A Mini Track for a Mini Race

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|JM|

by WBJ on Jun.21, 2010, under Automotive News

So mini has been trying to bait Porsche into a race supposedly at Road Atlanta. Well the truth finally comes out and the trick is revealed. Mini put together a tiny autoX course in a lot on Road Atlanta. So the race does not take place on the real course. The course is so tight that the smaller mini has a decided advantage against anything other that a go cart.

Tell us another story Sony…..GT5 has a release date

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|JM|

by WBJ on Jun.17, 2010, under Automotive News

Sony has decided to toy with us once again and has said that the long awaited GT5 is supposed to come out on November 2nd. It will be in 3d and thankfully on one disc. They just released a new trailer video and it makes me want it even more. This could be what pushes me over the edge to get a PS3. All I can say is this better be the best racing game ever in the history of games. Its been 5 years in the making so they have no excuses. I may have to buy this just to drive the top gear test track, its that our become famous enough to be invited to be a star in a reasonably priced car. Anyway check out the stig in the trailer after the jump.

You’re gonna eat lightnin’ and you’re gonna crap thunder!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|JM|

by WBJ on Jun.17, 2010, under Funny Videos

Mini is really out to get Porsche and to prove it they have just released this new video of the cooper training ala rocky. In the spirit of Rocky IV the video depicts the 911 as a tough as nails Ivan Drago. Complete with a fake adrian, mickey and even a Brigitte Nielsen and it is all set to cheesy 80’s music. Hit the jump, its really runny.

Dear Porsche, Bring it!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|JM|

by WBJ on Jun.14, 2010, under Automotive News

Since challenging Porsche to a Race wasn’t enough for Mini, now they are taunting them. Mini hired a plane to fly this banner above the Porsche North American headquarters. To me this seems like taunting a tiger at the zoo. It’s all fun and games until the tiger realizes it can jump the fence, and that it’s a frickin tiger.

The winner was supposed to wear some t-shirt or something. The video with the challenge and Porsche’s response are after the jump.

This is what our friend Steve from Mackin Industries when he met his buyer at a Target to show him the car. Unfortunately as he was showing him the car the guy jumped in the car and drove off.

Taking Baller to a whole new level – Mercedes W220 Air Runner Suspension

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|JM|

by WBJ on Jun.09, 2010, under Automotive News

Air runner has done it again by releasing an all new bolt on Air Suspension application for the Mercedes Benz W220. There is just something about a big benz sedan sitting on the floor that makes my day brighter. It really is fitting because the Air Runner Suspensions are very close to the factory air suspensions that come in the newer benz’s.
