Low Riding Riggs

The photos of the 11:11 are pretty cool. The colour, lighting location. A modern classic.

First the truck is insane.  low riding low profile truck! yes it's a TRUCK!

It's not the only one, if you have to transport something. why not in something cool.

Human rebuilding

Stems cells and the human genome. Where does this DNA research lead?

Current DNA experiments include mice with double strength, organ regrowth and many other directions. It's pretty easy to conceive that within the decade there will be big changes in this area.

As governments with less morality experiment with the human genome, experimental human enhancement WILL be commonplace. Transplants with grown body parts and replicated human structures reminds us of Blade Runner and a possible reality.

We can already enhance the body with "banned" substances like growth hormone and cross bred injected substances from many sources. The policing of these experiments is vastly voluntary and it doesn't happen until the "secret is out".

It's probably just as easy to conceive that secret research is already well underway and could be brought to market quickly.

So we shall wait for the super oxygenated blood drinks in a can. The lung capacity nano drug and the rejuvenation ointment.

How much they will cost is unknown,  but they will come.

NB NOPRO GT

Following my previous post. I couldn't get te37V to look good on the stock body. Problem solved. Thanks to Nogami-san.

For those who don't know. NOPRO is Nogami Project. Nogami-san has raced in many kinds of motorsport in Japan but specialized his tuning company on the MX5. This NB Coupe was the final NB bodykit version. Front is +40mm and rear is +50mm per side as GT/N2 regulations allow. This particular car ran a 1.8 with NOS for that extra kick. Filling those guards, some deep 16" te37V LL face wheels would be perfect.

 I have started a new blog called .RSG. (.resonant simple graphics.) for my new and customer projects. Race car livery design is the main purpose.

If deep RS Watanabe in about -31 offset don't get enough attention.

Don't add msg. Add some .RSG. for a bit of spice.

The GT fenders are also available with skirts and extra bits as shown on the 2 Nopro demo cars.

The convertible / later a hardtop is awesome in itself, but the coupe is on another level!

Cosmagician

F1, Daniel Simon, HRT, Kamui and more.

Where to start? One post or many... we shall see. Sometimes worlds collide.

Let's start with Daniel Simon. I'll call him the cosmic magician.

A long time ago, I saw his design book called Cosmic Motors. Unlike Syd Mead's concepts, Daniel's use of very modern tools creates a totally different image thats's finished and incredible.

While I dable with design on paper and basic photo manipulation, the time to turn my designs to art doesn't eventuate. Maybe one day.
My scrap book is large.

Anyway. Somehow he has managed to carve a design career with cars. Recently he was linked to HRT f1 team to design Kamui and co's F1 Livery

The result is something very cool! I'm recently designing a few more vehicle liveries myself so I'm always interested in this kind of merging of artists and mechanics.

Maybe I'll post some sketches of the Bently LM I've been working on.

F1 recently has a lot of changes. Some I like, some I don't Some are useless. Maybe thats another post.

Russ.

NBC = No Bull Crap

I love my FD3s Rx7s but if you are after a car thats fun and has way more bang for the buck then you can't really go past a tuned NB Roadster. And they don't look bad either.

Hairdressers No. Your hair will be messed up in no time. That's one thing I never understood about that myth of open top cars. I'm bald, I don't care but I love convertibles.

Keyword is Tuned

From the factory these cars have some interesting things including a 6 speed manual gearbox. Turbo cars are fun but complicated and that means money and reliability is compromised.

This NA demo car from Tomei has most of my favourite components and would definately be a wonderful car to drive to and at the track.

Doesn't need much.

TEIN　Dampers　HR
TOMEI　Computer
TOMEI　Camshaft
TOMEI　technical trax LSD
OS Giken Super Racing Clutch
5ZIGEN　FIREBALL　Muffler

Maxim Works Manifold
K&N filter
and some brake pads.
 
Thats pretty much it. But add some ITBs and you have a car that screams.
 
Add a BRIDE VIOS3 Bucket and youre ready. Maybe a cage if you get more serious.

Advan RGII (7J-16-+35) +Neova in size 205-55-16 means that replacements are really cheap. 16" tyres are consumables for track days and this is a great alternative. Even 15 inch rims are a viable option.

Garage Vary TYPE-N Aero on the Tomei Demo car is cool, but the front bar is controversial. Garage Vary's Demo Coupe is another No Bullshit car. Pure NA screamer with smaller rims for low cost racing.

The Roadster Cup races at Fuji Speedway in Japan and other Spec Miata races are very popular for a reason. These cars are great affordable sport.


I'd like the widebody effect of the Nopro demo car, but it's not necessary. that forces more expense, but the front bumper (re-amemiya) style looks great.

Hmmm. Street / Track. Can It be done in a Roadster.
