To all my readers I got a coupon for 10% off for anyone that wants to purchase brake related items on one's car at R1 Concepts. This isn't an advertisement rather they gave me a coupon because I have been buying stuff from them and I wanted to share the wealth with the rest of you guys.Its suppose to be some friends and family thing but everyone needs to save with these gas prices.I hope I am able to save someone that is getting ready for the auto season or just in need of a tune up.
The Code is 818instant10
Can you seriously dismiss someones automotive couture because of an individuals selection on wheels? Looks like this sucks because they are on Rotas. Too bad this car is too dope. People are angry that you can style on them for half the cost.
Ugly build because of Rotas?
Stop being swayed by these so called "insiders." The people that voice their opinions in the automotive world rely on the market. Their living is based on you spending $3000 on wheels that an overweight kid in a forum can give you high five for. So people that work for Work, Vertex, and any other Japanese company you can think of will want you to buy their products. They are creating a label for these knock off companies or who ever as fake and inferior. How many people track with Rotas? Like I said if Mackin Industries cares for the consumer they would be making low cast versions of their wheels right now and Rota would be out of business.

Now, pretty often we're told that if things appear too good to be true, then they probably are. Cheaper, pared down version of cars from well-known brands have left some car owners more than a little short chnaged.
So is the X1 a proper BMW? Does it have enough BMW-ness to satisfy its growing legion of fans? It is built to the same exacting standards, does it deliver that extra bit of performance, and does it possess the same quality feel? Most of all, does it drive like a pukka BMW?
Design and Engineering
The X1 is instantly recognizable as a BMW, and a modern one at that.using design cues first seen on new cars like the 7-and 5 series, the X1's skinning is fluid and cohesive rather than sharp. However, traditional BMW details remain. The double barrel headlamps, the large 'kidney' grille, the 'Hofmeister kink' in the shoulder line and the big squared off-wheel arches; they're all there.The long bonnet is heavily sculpted. While X1 is long and wide its not tall or chunk enough to be a convincing SUV.
Interiors
The steering wheel, dials, gear lever, central console and even the front seats are lifted straight off the X3. But has no bad thing. each of these are well designed and solidly built, and they managed to compliment the fresher parts of the interior perfectly. New bits include a swoopier dash, angular vents and some tastefully placed pieces of faux wood.
Performance
Performance is pretty good as a result and the X1 comfortably ducks under 10 seconds to do the 100kmph sprint. If you keep you foot down for 20.9 seconds, you cross a real speed of 150kmph. The diesel X1 really works well in city traffic.
Fuel Efficiency
BMW diesels have always been frugal and the X1 is no different. The X1 managed to stretch the liter of diesel for an average of 9.8kmpl in city, impressive for car of this weight.

Some prospective swift diesel owners prefer to shop at the Ford showroom when they realize that the Figo comes with better equipment in terms of ABS and airbags at roughly the same price. But the bigger hit comes from the Etios saloon. Toyota dealers says that prospective buyers are ready to book the car, even without a test drive. Even some of them have canceled their Dzire bookings and then booked the 'Toyota mid-sizer'.
Nevertheless , there are still no discounts on the swift and Dzire since the sales slowdown has been marginal. Lets hope, Maruti comes up with some schemes to drive sale of these cars.
The hanger that holds the exhaust pipe has been made by Lucknow based supplier Chopra Retec Rubber Products- a relatively small enterprise.
Last September, Aston Martin was facing a problem with the suspension hanger of the one-77 -its most advanced super sports car model. Only 77 cars were to be sold which meant that the exclusivity had to be complimented with very high quality. The supplier was given a couple of weeks to send a prototype for approval.
The Chopra team had to meet a tight deadline and parameters to bag the order. "the pace at which we reacted and moved impressed them and we were given the entire order for their One-77, which we successfully executed in record time," says Kiron Chopra, the company's CMD. Aston Martin "have in a way" shortlisted the Indian company as their primary vendors for all future exhaust hanger development and current up-gradation of exhaust hangers for existing models.
So guys, here is a blog where we can discuss about any topic, related to any segment or industry.

Is it really worth it to spend so much time, money and effort to put steel wheels on one's car? I recently looked into how much and how heavy steel wheels are. Unless you're driving a truck in treacherous Alaskan winter your better off not buying them at all. Sure steelies are inexpensive however there weight is an incredible turn off. Aftermarket low offset steel wheels at 17 inches usually weight in at about 30-35lbs. Not only is this going to effect your mpg, but will increase stress in your bearings and joints. But who cares about that when it looks cool right? Is it worth getting high fives from guys that post 12 times a day in car forums?

Same rims but different tuning platforms.Not everything is build to become a performance vehicle. Some cars are just tuner cars while others are commuters.

I haven't seen much info about the Zero Sports 2011 Impreza Sedan in the internet. My curiosity about these tuned models has increased.

With the import automotive world being predominately saturated with Japanese cars and anything with their culture, it was only a matter of time that you started seeing insecure 5'4 "Asian-American" hypebeast driving these (Insert Ethnic Asian) delivery rides. Is it possible to even consider yourself a MAN when you firmly believe its ideal to drive around in a small scooter?
A comment from the link by Scooter Rider:
"I ride a scooter and I
like them, but I know that guys who ride them look totally gay. Guys
cannot ride scooters without looking like a homo. I can't afford to buy
and insure a l real motorcycle, so I ride a scooter. It's great for
getting around town and going to work, and I'm married so I don't need
to try to impress girls. Single, young guys should not ride one unless
they want everyone to think they are gay. As an aside, a lot of scooter
riders think they are the cat's meow, and that's just sort of pathetic."
I know a lot of the people that jumped on this hype are predominately Asian kids from here mainly in California. I have seen Rukus meets in the North East by NYC and NJ,they too are predominately Asian.The people that usually fix these scooters are hypebeast "Asian Americans" that claim they are fashionistas by shopping in Supreme,Bape,Stussy,Neighborhood and Uniqlo. These are the guys that hop on forums, sig some Import model of 9 races mixed with dog when she looks mongoloid and wants everyone's approval for every little detail on their so called build.
Case and point:
Watch the first 20 seconds, look who rolls in together:

What the Badges really mean:
Drivers in Japan from their 75th birthday need to display a momiji
(Japanese maple leaf) sign of autumnal red and gold on the windscreen or
on the back of the car whenever they get behind the wheel. There is no
rule as to where the sign should be put which means that it can get
overlooked. Presumably the thinking is that, like learners, elderly
drivers need to be identified so that the other road users will drive
more defensively. There will come a time if it hasn't already when
momiji signs considerably outnumber learner signs as the elderly have
perhaps 15 to 20 years to display whilst learners are usually finished
within six months.
(Refer To JDM Guy Above)
Ignoring the meanings of symbols, and just identifying something as "that shit is hot niqqa" or "dats straight up fiyah." Usually you will see some guy named Chris or the driver has a friend named Chris that owns an Integra that is similar to this one. Yes this guy doesn't even know what Option sticker really means nor has he ever seen an Option magazine or video. The Japanese badge indicates that any revving or flybys from this "niqqa" be ignored.

With the trend of stretching tires, what ever happened to getting more for your money?
I love the wingless look on Altezza's but the Hippo Sleek spoiler is catching fire.
