Sleek machine...


326power!

This is a great feat. on Mitsuru Haruguchi over at 326Power in Japan and some of his rad cars! pretty much all of my favorite cars in one video. I'm really digging the black JZS161 at the end...definitely an inspiration.

The world's tallest bridge!

After finding out about this great piece of structural engineering. The Millau Viaduct is considered one of the tallest bridges in the world reaching upwards to 1,125ft. Located in Southern France, it is the 1st in the ranking. I would love to go and check this out someday and see this phenomenal man made construction.


Here is also a video of when the guys over at Top Gear did a test drive on the bridge. You can just skip to 4:30 if you would like instead of seeing the whole video.    

Try this out if you have a bike

This is useful for track bikes, fixies, single speeds, and or any bicycle that doesn’t have a kick stand.
I made this stand since I got tired of leaning the bike on random objects in the garage lol. I got the idea from a dude on YouTube when I was surfin’ and it holds pretty good! and I only used basic parts I got at Lowes, all PVC pipes. I thought I would share since I too learn from the interwebs myself.

what you need:
(*This application is mainly for track bikes that have skinny tires, but you can subsitute the 1 1/4″ pieces for maybe 1 3/4″ or 2″? to accommodate a MTB that has fatter tires, but I haven’t tried that out yet). Get 3/4″ PVC pipes, it comes in 5 and 10 ft pieces, but I used 5 footers which you will only need about 2 or 3 pieces to make this if you go with the 5ft PVC pipes.

Cut them into:
(5) – 1 1/4″
(4) – 7″
(2) – 12 1/2″
(2) – 22 3/4″
Also pick up some connectors:
(6) – 3/4″ 90 degree elbows
(6) – 3/4″ “Tee” pieces
Total cost: ~$7-8

a measuring tape, and what I found quick/precise is a pipe cutter, (I had a Rigid laying around) but you can use just a hacksaw.



and how it looks like with the addition of my Peugeot Fixie.

Cressida x Big Win Kit =


I drew this out today to see what the finish product would look like...nothing special, just a quick little idea I had in mind. Come to my surprise I am quite satisfied with how it came out, I might add on a rear shot here in a bit to complement this art? haha.

Some Dope Sedans



                                                 
                      and of course my very own x8 that is sadly now gone. :(

Ryan Tuerck...

I met this chap a few years back in 2007 in California at the All Star Bash drift event that was held at Willow Springs Intl. Raceway. He is a pretty cool laid back dude that has a passion for drifting. Seeing that this video is a wee bit sketchy to most, believe it or not he knows what he is doing being that he is a professional drift racing driver for the Formula D series. When there is nothing to do in New Hampshire, just turn to the driveway for fun! lol

Watch these 2 videos back to back to get the full effect.

Making some changes...

Thought I would try to make the switch from my other blog to this setup and give it a shot with a new name. I will try to continue to post similar topics (as many of you already enjoy), and slowly add some few minor changes here and there as well as the same links and blogs.
Please visit my other blog: Jason's Blog  http://www.jin83.wordpress.com/ for what to watch out for on this new page!
