You"ll never Want to Get out of Your Car again.

It is rare to find people in this industry for 20, 30 or even 50 years. Recaro takes the cake on lasting power. They have been providing seating solutions since 1906.  How has this company continued to strive in an ever-changing and increasingly competitive market? Through innovation and enthusiasm.  They don’t approach the business to make money, although I’m sure that’s a benefit. They approach their business as problem solvers, solution finders. It is through that mentality that they now offer one of the most world renown seats in the industry.

We just updated our new products gallery with the latest from Recaro. They have everything from seats for comfort to racing seats, to seats for your airplane or boat if you want. The Recaro Ergomed ES Right Seat Balck Leather and Vinyl/Black Artista Grey Logo is one of their most luxurious seats. It offers the latest in comfort control.

• Seat cushion extensions: adjustable thigh support relieves muscle tension, this is a great feature for the driver over 6′ tall. It will support your legs making a the seat a lot more comfortable, especially on long trips.
• Adjustable headrest: adjustable for height and tilt for excellent head protection

• Recaro airmatic system for effective lumbar support: comfortable, individual spinal support (electronically adjustable) – the air chambers can be adjusted separately to adapt to the height and curves of your back

The Recaro Pro Racer Hans Spa Carbon Kevlar Seat Black Velour/Black Velour is a great seat for the more experienced racer. It offer what most are looking for when it comes to comfort and safety of a racing seat. Here are a few of the features of the Recaro Pro Racer.

Stay Comfortable at 200mph

This customer is more than just a car enthusiast. When he purchased his FR-S he had big plans for this project car. After a lot of time and collaboration, he’s made his race car dreams come true. He wanted us to help him outfit the interior of his ride. So we helped him pick out and purchase a set of Sparco Pro 2000 Competition Racing Seats, the Sparco Universal Seat Slider and Sparco side mounts. The seats were installed on planted base, seat brackets. What’s a racing seat with out a racing harness? He chose the Sparco Tuner 4 pt harness and a Agency Power Harness Bar. To top of his interior he chose a MoMo Steering Wheel and a NRG Steering Quick Release Kit.

His Sparco’s setup is FIA approved and will give him the confidence and comfort he needs at 200 mph and 120 degrees. Sparco seats were designed for race car drivers, by race car drivers. They take the necessary steps to not only get their seats FIA approved but also offer protection and comfort for the driver. Check out the Agency Power blog for instructions and pictures of how to install their harness bar in 15 minutes or less.

Boost Logic Pumps Up the VR Nissan GT-R

Vivid Racing’s Nissan GT-R project is going on slowly, but we can’t say the same for the horsepower.  Already equipped with the VR700HP kit featuring the AP titanium exhaust, catless downpipes, Cobb Pro Tune, we have also further upgraded the injectors and intercooler kit.  But the latest upgrade comes from our friends at Boost Logic.  The masters of GTR tuning have been on a hot streak of releasing new parts for Godzilla.  Their latest creation is this upgraded intake plenum used on their 1000+ horsepower kits.  Including new intercooler piping with Tial blow off valves, under the hood is now a work of art.  The intake plenum is designed to flow much more air through the heads and adding up to a very strong and legitimate 40+ horsepower.

The GT-R is one of the most desired tuner vehicles available today.  There is no shortage of bolt-on parts available that make this race-ready vehicle faster on the street or track.  The Boost Logic Intake Manifold on our GT-R project car is just an example of the ingenuity and engineering that tuners are doing to make the Nissan 1 step faster than its nemesis, the Porsche 911 Turbo. Here are some pictures from our installation on our Project Nissan GT-R.  Check out other Nissan GTR Race Parts here.

See Sexy Wheels on Your Car, before You buy

One of the biggest adrenaline rushes of buying new products is the feeling of seeing it on your car. We know people are ready to throw down some dough when it comes to parts. But to buy something like wheels before seeing them on your car, is a leap of faith. The wheels set the tone for the car. Given the chance between a stock BMW, or one with wheels? The one with the wheels is going to kill the stock. We know there are a ton of companies out there that have the computerized version of the wheel configurator. We wanted to take it a step further and have you be able to see the wheels on your YOUR car. When we were initially creating the app, we were questioning if people would be down to upload pictures. Then we realized that any true car junky has a few “selfie pics” of their car on their phone or computer. We sealed the deal and released the app.

Here’s how it works:

1. Go to our site
2. Click the Wheel App
3. Upload your picture
4. Shop around
5. Buy the perfect wheels for your ride.

We know, it’s so simple lit hurts. That’s what we’re about, simplicity and getting the perfect wheels and parts on your car. If you have used our wheel app before we want to know what you thought. If you haven’t, go try it out and come back to let us know what you think. If you’re looking for a certain brand, you can probably find it here. You can also tell us on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram @vividracing.

Make Your GT-R stop on a Dime with Alcon Brake Kit

When the first version of the Nissan GT-R launched in 2007, it made Nissan a sought after name in the industry. The look is something of an aspiring super car. The ability to use aftermarket parts gives the GT-R to be able to compete with the super cars of the world. The GT-R started out strong and through the years has only gotten better. They released the 2012 version with 530hp, which was an increase from the previous 473hp it launched the previous year. With more horsepower comes the need for better brakes.

Alcon put together the perfect brake kit for your street or track GT-R. Alcon has been providing the most elite vehicles with premium brakes for years. Their commitment to produce the best product, for the best cars, shows in this brake kit.The Alcon CCX Carbon Ceramic Super Kit gives two major benefits that you’ll be able to notice immediately. The first is the lightweight material that helps shed some of that unwanted weight. The second is the ability to not have to apply so much pressure when braking. This is due to the quality in not only the materials but the technology. Other added benefits are, that the pads and rotors have a low wear-rate, so they will have to be replaced less often. If you want your GT-R to run/ look like a super car, then give it the parts that super cars have.
