3DX Evo sets record at 900+ HP

I’m sure many of you out there have seen the video of the mom driving a 900hp Evo X… if not, here it is

That same car is the record HP record holder for EVO set at 908AWHP!! The tuner of the car is Justin Garret “Hollywood” and he just happens to be sponsored by SSR wheels. I think he may have something up his sleeve as well.

The Little Engine That Could

Remember those days when you were younger, spending hours messing around with legos trying to put something together. Well, someone by the name of Solde has taken it to a whole new level. Not only did he create a replica version of one of Toyota’s most popular engine but it actually functions. The engine which you will see in the video is the 4A-GE. This little engine earned must respect for its reliability and performance and became a popular choice for engine swap. Check it out!

Subaru’s History of Crash Testing

Interesting video done by Subaru. For some it may be painful to watch, while for others it’s a important process used to improve safety. Just take a look at how easily the cars of old held up compared to the standards of today.

Kei Car Craze

IMAG0527 gallery pic

For those who have not been informed on the Japanese “K”-car scene, they are compact cars that are very affordable and very accommodating for the narrow streets of Japanese metropolitan cities. Mainly used to just move people around short distances, they have recently gained huge popularity in the aftermarket culture with custom body kits, excessive lights, and custom leather interiors. Some kei cars are VIP styled like big body luxury sedans while others are more sports oriented (like the Cappuccino and Copen).

Although the scene is huge in Japan unfortunately there isn’t a market anywhere else for small compact cars, but nevertheless here are some that stood out to me in this issue of K-CAR magazine (and as it turns out, they have SSR wheels on!).

Oops, I made a mesh

There’s just something nostalgic about seeing an old Japanese car on a set of mesh wheels. It’s like how a suite and tie complement each other in bringing out the professionalism of a person. Here we have a Nissan Laurel sitting on a rare set of SSR mesh wheels.

d 5815 gallery pic

FIC Racing has now released more options for 5/100 wheel spacers due to the increase of this bolt pattern’s popularity. In addition to the 15mm spacers that were already available new 10mm and 20mm wheel spacers have been now been added to the 5/100 line up.

FIC spacers not only help give a flushed look but also widen the track of the vehicle. FIC spacers are also hub centric which reduce unnecessary vibrations and wear of the wheels. These spacers can be used with OEM and aftermarket wheels!
