JM LEAD

Heya folks,

Most of you may know by now, Volk released a new wheel: the TE37V (V stands for Vintage). This wheel comes in very aggressive sizings (wide & low offset), just how we like them.

Well, at first, we heard that it was only coming in 240sx/ae86 sizings (4x114.3 bolt pattern), but VOLK told the roadster crowd that miata sizings would happen (4x100 bolt pattern).

I first thought that these wheels would only appear on a miata in a few months as VOLK wheels are usually takes a while to be made. Well, I was wrong. A few weeks after the announcement, Jet's (Integral Kobe) equipped their shop car with one of the first sets of TE37V available in 4x100 pattern 15x8 +25.

Now, less talk, more pictures:

I am pretty sure that these wheels with (a more) proper ride height would be totally awesome on our cars.

Drop me an email if you want more information about these.

Great news for NCEC owners, NOPRO has dyno tuned their latest modification (MZR 2.5L swap) and the results are in!

I am really impressed by the power it's producing, very nice for someone looking for a naturally aspirated setup or just for some more displacement!

Results are:

224.6 PS (221 HP)

28.5 KGM (206 LB/FT)

It's a shame to see such a car go, but hopefully it'll find a new owner that will take care of it and continue to mod it so nicely.

Pictures talk for themselves:

Good bye Pit Crew!

These examples of cars never stops amazing me.

While most of us would keep this M2-1001 stock because of the rarity of it, this tuner has refreshed it to make it more 2010

He put some black covers over the big fog lights (looks real nice), lowered the car a bit and has put some 14x7+19 RPF-1 (these are available at REV9 Autosport by the way).

Enjoy!

I am really happy to announce that NOPRO won the 2010 Japan's R1 Grand Prix with their NC shop car!

I never thought they had such a fast car. I cannot find out if they had the 2.5L in or not, but if I remember correctly, this car is equipped with a 2.3L MZR engine.

It is nice to see what Japanese tuners can do with the roadster.

As you can see, they are very serious cars, considering there were S15 (240SX), Z33 (300ZX), FD3S (RX-7) and even some S2000.

It's also nice to see that a NA roadster got second place with just 0.419 seconds after NOPRO's car.

I think that with the new 2.5L engine in, we will see more and more of these results!

This is how we like it. 14", low and fast.

In Japan, they have the 185 cup which only allows 185-60-14 equipped cars. Those races are epic and nice because of the lack of contact patch. At least, they have good tires sizes in those sizes.

So you've been looking for a radio panel to fill out the space in your console ?

TRAP has a solution for you:

As with other TRAP parts, this one is made from very high quality materials and the craftmanship is like no other.

We can get it, so drop us an email if that interests you!

Heya,

Many updates today!

This Shorty console is in the works at the moment. You will soon(?) see those for sale in our web store.

Can I say that I was not sure what was going up with the NCEC as tuners didn't really start modding these, but since a few weeks, new parts pop out and it now became a very nice platform.

Carbing announced us that they are working on a new roll cage for NC race cars. These pictures show the raw product, but you can expect the usual Carbing quality and finish.

It might not be very popular in the USA because those cars are still under warranty, but in Japan, tuners already started swapping NCECs. We saw the Integral Kobe 2.3L MZR NCEC and it is very powerfull. Some might say that it's not worth it to swap the car and supercharge it is better.

Well, NOPRO did the ultimate swap into a NCEC:

That is right, a huge 2.5L engine swap. There is so much potential with that much development, I just can't believe it!

Drop us an email if you want more information, they have also annouced they might release a swap kit.
