The other, one of luxury sedans that I know well will be discontinued.
Nissan Cima (Infinity Q45) was not my favorite sedan, but once Nissan decided to discontinue, feel lonesome…. even though Q45 has been discontinued in US since 2006 so I haven’t seen this model for a while…. Maybe nostalgic…
Nissan Fuga (Infinity M35/45) will be taking a place. hmmmm, ok, not bad…
It’s been a little while since Need for Speed – SHIFT was released. As I mentioned before, we still haven’t received any game yet…. however, it seems NFS-Shift for wii is not available, I can’t play at home anyway. (I don’t know how to play on PC without controller…)
Since Formula D is starting, it was perfect timing to check it up again. I found some video and pics of “CARBONETIC”. CARBONETIC Billboard is very cool!!!!
Have you seen our ads on Performance Auto & Sound magazine?
One was CARBONETIC Carbon Twin/Triple Clutch, our best seller.
Since it is our best seller, all stock items are gone right away. We will have some in next week, but few are already filled for back orders. If you are interested in, please order right away. Next shipment from Japan will be the end of April.
Other two were CARBONETIC Blade Clutch, the new clutch from CARBONETIC.
The blade clutch is a world first OEM replacement Carbon paddle clutch on the market. This is solely manufactured by the Across corporation, market leaders in Carbon technology.
This will be one of the cheapest true carbon paddle clutches available to date.
The price of clutch maybe entry level in the CARBONETIC range, but the performance exceeds many higher priced competitor clutches on the market.
The Blade clutch is designed as a direct OEM replacement, so it will fit on to a standard flywheel and you can use it with your own cover plate or our up rated item which comes with the Blade kit.
You can purchase the clutch disc on its own or with the cover and release bearing.
The power rating is 450 + BHP and torque figure of 450 + ft lb. (depending on pressure plate)
In recent tests with a Group N rally car has proved the clutch can take well over 625NM of torque and still shows no signs of slipping. In another Evo X test the clutch was holding over 500BHP with a 1250KG rally art cover.
The Blade has many benefits over metal sintered or organic clutches.
Lighter, lower inertia weight
Quicker gear shifts
Reduce impact on the transmission
No judder, easy up take when cold and hot.
OEM clutch feel
Superior longevity
100 miles to bed in
Can handle drift to street racing abuse
Easy to use in Day to Day driving
Honesty, I was even surprised for Lexus Lf-a is $350G…. And more surprisingly, 500 were already sold out in Japan. But an original Lexus is already expensive luxury cars like $40G minimum…. still I was so surprised.
But…. Nano Super car????? $220G?????? you gotta be kidding me! The original Nano is mere $2G! I am so curious who is gonna pay $220G on Nano……
Toyota Soarer – from the 3rd generation has been sold in US as Lexus SC series.
The griffin emblem had caught my eyes, and it’s been always “my car-to-be” since it debuted in Japan back in 80’s.
I have never had a chance to own this car since then.
Even though Toyota stopped to sell under “Toyota Soarer “ in 2005, and sold under Lexus SC series in Japan as well, this car is always “Toyota Soarer” personally.
“my car-to-be” would never be mine forever.
Toyota announced the end of July 2010 will be the last production of SC430.
End almost 30-year-long history of “my car-to-be”……
