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.

With a new season and now fully involve in F1, Mercedes has a new Safety Car to show off to the world. This is the most powerful ”Official Formula One Safety Car” ever. The car will make its world debut at this weekend’s Bahrain GP ahead of its worldwide release on March 27th. If you have to follow any car around the track while waiting for debris to get clean up this wouldn’t be too bad.

Ralliart the OE tuning company for Mitsubishi announce in a press release to their customer that it will be closing down. But this will not effect any of their current or future models that has Ralliart features. It will only effect their aftermarket parts for Mitsubishi. What does this mean for you? Get the parts you need now before it goes on Ebay for double if not triple its value.

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.

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.

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.

My problem with springs is that they always seem to be just a little off as far as the perfect drop. Once they are in that is it, they are not adjustable. One of the other problems is that if you switch springs eventually your struts will go bad and that can get expensive.
Coilover’s solve these problems giving you a fully adjustable suspension with built in upgraded struts. Once installed you can set the height of each individual corner so that you can get the perfect drop all around. Some coilovers also allow you to adjust the dampening on the struts so you can fine tune the ride stiffness. This allows you to be able to adjust your suspension to the optimal setting for multiple driving situations. If you were so inclined you could go out and have your car corner balanced.
