Rebel 8 Clothing

I got a package recently from a brand called Rebel 8. They make a wide range of artwork and clothing that is all made in house. Every piece of artwork is hand drawn and not altered with digital enhancing in any way. The founder’s clever means of hand drawn art and guerrilla marketing built this clothing brand up to be internationally recognized.

Here is a couple of the shirts that they make…

Thunderdrift: Nor-Cal Formula Drift ProAm Round 1

Tdproam101092

  Sunday Feb. 7th of 2010 was the season opener of the newly established Nor Cal Formula Drift ProAm Series: Thunderdrift.  The event had a strong turnout consisting of Nor Cal's finest ProAm drivers and seriously impressive drift cars.  Thunderhill's turns 13-10 (counter-course direction) provided the drivers with a configuration that demanded a high speed initiation and a tricky transition over a blind crest.

 During the morning practice runs the drivers gained confidence on the course and qualifying provided a great show.  Top qualifiers Ryan Kado and Jared Thompson displayed consistent runs that were full of smoke and angle.  By the end of the day it was Julian Jacobs taking the win.

 The drivers and spectators at the event enjoyed Nos Energy Drink's involvement to the fullest.  The winners of the event soaked each other down with bottles of Nos at the podium awards ceremony.  Come out on April 13th to watch Nor Cal's finest drift drivers battle it out in Round 2 of the Formula Drift ProAm Series: Thunderdrift.

Racing Simulator

So I got the idea to build my own simulator… But not just any seat with a wheel. I got a Logitech G25 setup, which is a 900 degree, force feedback, clutch pedaled H pattern shifter! The design of the frame is entirely laid out after the 350Z. Shifter location, pedal spacing, everything…

Picture_1

Here is the beginning of the frame!

Picture_2 

Test fitting the seat, wheel, and shifter location to the frame. See the steering wheel??? That’s right! We swapped the Logitech wheel with a Momo suede wheel!

Picture_3 

Everything felt good so I took the pieces off and started lining up the last few braces.

Picture_4 

Ready to get all welded up!

Picture_5 

Hanging the pedals, that’s right… I took the pedal assembly apart and I am hanging the pedals upside down so they are more realistic.

Picture_6

Will post the final pics when its all finished.
