PRI Show 2008

December 16th, 2008

We are so relieved that we were able to finish PRI Show with a massive success. Honestly, we cancelled to attend the show last year because PRI Show may be not suitable to CARBONETIC product, we thought. Our products are for Japanese cars only at this moment even though Corvette Clutch is almost ready to release.

However, we were able to get lots of attentions for our product such as Corvette Clutch, Carbon-on-Carbon Clutch and Blade Clutch. And glad to know many racing teams were interested in CARBONETIC!!

Compare with SEMA, ok it is just for me, PRI Show looked more plain….. As Las Vegas known as Glitter City, SEMA’s displays are more razzle-dazzle… I don’t mean to which is good, which is bad. Just what I thought.

Anyway, it seems the racing industry is still in good shape at this bad economy especially in auto industries.

Look up, ya’ll. Is this an ultimate Green Car???????????? It has made by all wooden, bamboo, or something botanical except tires………..

Super GT 2008 was over.

Round 9, the first place was “GT-R”, and all over champion was the other “GT-R” as well.

Indeed, 6 out of 9 were GT-R (not only 1 particular GT-R, though) victories. It was a great debut for the new GT-R.

Its appearance already attracted to everyone as at SEMA Show, now it proved the performance as at Super GT.

Just in case if you may not know, CARBONETIC Carbon Front LSD is available for this 2009 GT-R.

Please contact us at any time if you are interested in!

Congrats, GT-R! and Congrats for Team Victory of SC430!

Actually, I have never paid attention to GT300, but look at this pic!

“Itasha” (you can check what this means at Wikipedia. I didn’t even know, either.) got the first place at Round 9.

SEMA 2008!!!

knightrider  knight rider

I do not know how many people were watching Knight Rider at real-time, but I was watching this show in Japan at real time when I was kid. (I was kid! Don’t even think of my age, again!!)

I was so amazed and into that car every show those days. The TV monitor in the car? all computerized functions? It was too Science-Fiction those day, but now 20 years later from then, the regular cars already have the monitor, computerized functions. It is not a fiction anymore! I just felt super nostalgic and still into former “Future Car” it was a fantasy.

It is soooooooooooo cute! I said before that I am kinda large car freak, but…. Maybe I will change my mind. Actually, this is really cute. I say again. Cute! Ummmmmmm, I am getting brainwashed because I do not feel allergic rejection to the small car anymore. Seriously, I think it is cute. Don’t you think?

 

Found some comment that they are look alike…….. haha

Green Car=Small Car???

October 14th, 2008

Kiyora  Nuvu  Fiesta

This is kinda out of date topic, but I have been thinking for long time.
Paris Auto Show.
Every Auto company shouted out “Green Car”, and the most of cars they revealed are “Compact Car”. Not all of them, but most likely their focus was “Compact Car”
yeah, Right. Super Cute, though!
In 1970’s (don’t even think of my age!) it was a Supercar boom. Many Kids dreamed about that super gorgeous luxurious car.
In late 1990’s big three ganged up to wrap off the Huge SUV or luxurious truck.
In 21st century, the bubbling was popped and focused on the ecology, Auto industry goes “Green” as well as the other industries.
I understand……… but is Green Car = Compact Car? the current technology, maybe yes. The electric car cannot hold the large body to run longer.
Yes, I understand, but I wanted to see more dreamy cars at the auto show…….
They may have been able to bring out the large car with Solar Powered huge SUV or something…. I did not wanna see the 3-seater compact car at the Auto Show……. It is too realistic, no fantasy at all.

Of course, I applaud the all auto company’s effort for the real world. The fuel efficient and low emission for our kids’ future automobile; this is really needed for everyone.

My father always said to me “Don’t drive any small car a botchy driver like you!!! The large car is much safer. It will not be smashed” And it was imprinting to my brain. It became a myth that lager car is safe.

I just gave up my truck recently because I could not afford for the gas any more….. I also can’t afford to have two cars like one small and truck. (the gas price is dropping now, so I should have kept it, though…………)
Yeah, that’s the reason why I wanted to see the super fuel efficient or no fuel=electric huge car at the Auto Show to dream about… one day, the huge, monster vehicles are on the road again.
Don’t forget. Save the Earth!!!!!!!!!!!!

Super GT

September 18th, 2008

Super GT

First of all, I am not a GT-R fan. He is definitely not my type………
GODZILLA- actually I like Godzilla very much, he is cute….but not him.
Especially, he was made so complicated and computerized inside his body and we are unable to make clutch for this guy! (workaholic!!)
but he just came up to my eyes these days and I cannot take my eyes off!
Super GT Round 7, last weekend in Japan, the victory went to GT-R, beaten my NSX.
Ummmmmmmmm, I think I will check out Round 8 on Oct 19, 2008 to see GT-R again….

NEW GT-R

September 10th, 2008

gt-r

How many people have seen the new GT-R on the road?
Last Friday, I saw the brand new GT-R at the junction of 91 & 110!!!
First, he appeared to my left mirror. Even though, it was very small, the emblem of “GT-R” sign burst to my view!! “wooooooooooooooooow, GT-R!!!” I even opened the window and pull out my head to see a brand new GT-R. He approached right next to me in half second, and I gawped at the corner of junction….. I almost hit $70K……… Thank you, Lord for protecting me from accident! Ok, I know I acted like groupie. Yes, I felt like it because I saw GT-R on TV and magazine only, they treated like GT-R is a celebrity. So I saw the real one right next to me, I could not take my eyes off!!! and excited like Brad Pitt standing up next to me.
Anyway, he streaked by as a lightning, and I could not be closer to him with my truck any more…
