Customer"s Modded Honda Civic Type R with Weds Sport Wheels

Our customer, Robert M. from Jamaica, recently purchased a set of Weds Sport TC105N wheels (18×8.0 5×114.3 +42mm) in titanium finish for his Honda Civic Type R. The TC-105N wheel is Weds’ flagship racing wheel in the WedsSport series. This wheel has proven its worthiness in the motor sport racing community in Japan, the U.S. and Australia, by setting record after record. The TC-105N is quickly gaining a reputation as being one of the fastest mass produced wheels on the market. As an added bonus, it also has an excellent price and performance ratio.

The design of the Weds Sport TC105N wheel is derived directly from their Super GT-Racing program. The 10-spoke design with Weds innovative and exclusive “N-Frame” reinforced engineering makes it a lightweight, yet rigid and strong wheel. According to Weds, this can only be achieved by combinations of design, high quality material and our AMF (Advance Metal Forming) manufacturing process. Wide range of sizes and offset are available. Note that the TC-105N is designed to accommodate many big brake kits on the market.

Robert was kind enough to send in photos of the finished product with these wheels mounted on his car. Check out the pictures below, as well as his full mod list! You can also browse through our entire selection of Weds Sport wheels here.

Subaru BRZ Brembo Kit Modified to a Honda Fit with BBS Wheels

We had a customer go for the ultimate stopping power on his Honda Fit with a modified Brembo brake kit from a Subaru BRZ.  The 6piston big brake kit features 2 piece drilled rotors in 355x32mm.  This is not a normal fitment for the Honda Fit and neither are these 1 piece forged BBS Wheels from Japan.  This is an entire custom project from start to finish.  New hats were made, he changed the wheel studs, different wheel knuckles, and more.  This is probably one of the most intense retro fits we have ever seen.  Check out his full DIY on FitFreak.net here.

Fidanza Releases New Short Shifters for 2016

Fidanza has been around for a long time and known as the Flywheel and Cam Gear company.  Making some of the best lightweight flywheels in aluminum and steel, Fidanza has expanded its product offerings to now include short shifters.  The 3rd pedal cars are disappearing fast with the performance of dual clutch transmissions, but for those still clutching, a short shifter is a must in your car.  A short throw effectively decreases the amount of lever travel you have to go between gears by not reducing the height of the lever, but by elongating the lower part to the pivot point.  The distance traveled of the lever is less as the shifter is is able to move the linkage between gears with less effort up top.  Typical short shifters are made from treated steel.  Aluminum parts can be used on short shifter components, but it is not optimum for the pressure the lever is put through as you slam through the gears.  Fidanza has released short shifters for the following vehicles, all which are available from Vivid Racing!

WP Pro EX6 360 Clubsport Big Brakes Shown Off

WP Pro Brakes has some pretty amazing engineering for the big brake industry.  We recently showed off their new EX8 caliper here, but have these brand new photos of the EX6 360 clubsport kit now to share!  This is the same kit we are running on our Project Mercedes CLA45 that features the very unique carbon fiber cooling duct cover.  The kit also features the very unique saw blade style rotor which is a 2 piece floating design.  Similar to what is used in Grand Prix Street Bike racing, the saw blade rotor is extremely light weight and when combined with a race pad, gives unbeatable stopping power.  These calipers do come in standard colors or can be custom done in any finish.  Check out more of the WP Pro Big Brakes Here.

Acura RSX with Work Wheels, Fortune Auto, APR, and More!

Our customer Melanie has a nice and clean Acura RSX with tasteful modifications.  The Front Wheel Drive machine can definitely benefit from some good suspension to help with the understeer that is common on these high revving engines.  A set of Fortune Auto Coilovers was added along with a set of SPC rear camber arms.  The highly engineered 500 Series coilovers feature new valving that provide 40% less drag in their shock seals.  The front coilovers include new camber plates while the rear use the stock mounts.  The front adjustable plates allow you to get maximum camber needed for best traction on the track.  The car sits nice on a set of JDM Work CR Ultimate Wheels which are square at 17×9 +28mm.  Attention to quality is recognized with these Michelin Pilot Sport Tires in a 245/40/17 to really hook up with the pavement.  Aero parts including the APR GTC-200 rear spoiler and performance parts from Skunk2 round out the mods.  Overall its a work in progress and a well fitted car.  We appreciate the Vivid Racing love too!

Braille Battery Did You Know and Hot Sellers

One of the most overlooked parts in your vehicles is the battery.  Better cranking amperage and lighter weight are things that can be accomplished from a Braille Battery.  The hot seller right now for the performance street & track vehicles is the GreenLite G20 (upgrade for PC680 in 4 & 6 cylinder cars) and GU1R (upgrade for PC925 up to small block V8) lithium batteries.  In addition, the Intensity I34X and I35X full-size replacement battery for something similar to an Optima but at only 11 lbs, with more power and much longer life, not to mention the performance benefits.

The lightweight AGM batteries have up to double the cranking power (pound for pound) compared to the competition, as well.  As a dedicated, performance starting battery, there is no compromise on cranking power and are the only smaller lightweight AGM batteries that are designed and warrantied for automotive street & race car use, where the others are designed for powersports (motorcycles) and NOT for automotive applications.  In many cases, use in Automotive applications voids the warranty of other small AGM batteries (most don’t know that).

Here are the key advantages of Braille lithium over lead or other “consumer grade” (low cost, low quality) lithium batteries the other sell, as the only American Made “OEM/race grade” product on the market based on the professional race series and more OEM factory race cars than all the other battery companies combined!!

Braille Lithium delivers a higher, cleaner voltage which improves the performance of every electrical component and has shown to provide:

• Quicker starting (a full volt higher than lead and less voltage drop during cranking)


• Improved engine management & data logging performance (more stable voltage)


• Less horsepower draw from the alternator due to efficient charging (5 times faster than lead),


• Lasts 3-5 times longer (especially under the harshest environments),


• Much more reliable (less than 1% failure rate)


• Significant weight savings. (up to 1/4 the weight)


• Don’t self-discharge, so if the battery is disconnected (no draw or via power disconnect switch), they can sit for over a year and still have over 13 volts to start the vehicle.

It is due to these reasons that Braille Lithium is currently being used in every Indycar & new Indy Lights car, every car in the DTM (Audi/BMW/Mercedes), SuperGT (Nissan/Honda/Lexus/Subaru) and Australian V8 Supercar (Volvo, Nissan, Mercedes, Holden, Ford) series, nearly every car in the IMSA TUDOR series (factory Corvettes, Vipers, Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, Ford, Mazda, etc.), Formula 1 and top teams in NASCAR, drag racing, Pro 2 & 4 off-road trucks, Rally (all Olsbergs cars) and many more.

Now you are dialed in on why and what a Braille Battery can do for you.  Shop all Braille Battery Products Here.
