RC8 Hexacone Titanium Race System

September 3rd, 2010 -- by Alex -- Posted in KTM, Motorcycle | No Comments »

Hi guys, the folks over in Austria finally came out with an exhaust system for the KTM RC8 and RC8R. Check it out.

The system uses their Hexacone end can tip. It is a high performance racing system, which makes it not legal for street use, but who’s telling? It is made of Titanium and the pipe size is 54 mm.

Yes, I admit, it is not the most aesthetically pleasing system for the RC8, but I am sure Remus took into account performance numbers of the cosmetics. Remember their full titanium exhaust system for the Daytona 675?

Take a look at the dyno numbers.

The system will run you around $1290.00 or so, depending on where you are in the world. And as always, Remus backs up their products with 24 months warranty on all EEC approved systems, 12 months warranty on Racing systems. Stay tuned for more updates.


    Chinese BMW M3 Tiger Edition

    August 12th, 2010 -- by Alex -- Posted in Automobile, BMW | No Comments »

    What’s going on guys? Take a good look at the head rest below from a new BMW M3. Tiger power!

    No, this isn’t a joke. For us, we get an understated nine thousand dollar special paint job. China gets a crazy orange M3 Tiger Edition with headrests pulled from the blankets being sold at the local Flea Market.

    Seriously, this is not a joke. In fact, BMW’s confirmed it’s real and shared specs. The Tiger theme is to celebrate the “Year of the Tiger?” Here’s what you get for a little more yuan:

    Hmm, I don’t know about you guys but that orange paintjob actually looks pretty cool. Check it out below. The headrests? Well, we can always change those.

    Stay tuned for more updates.


      LED & Euro Taillights

      June 30th, 2010 -- by Alex -- Posted in Automobile | No Comments »

      What’s up guys? Today the good folks over at CARiD ordered up a review of their site, and we are here to deliver.

      Photobucket

      As you may have noticed in the automobile industry, one of the hottest items currently, are the use of LEDs in headlights, especially in stock Audi cars. Their dual rows of daylight running lights set their cars apart instantly.

      Well, for all you tuners out there, CARiD now offers LED and Euro style taillights for all your vehicles.

      Now I know what you are thinking. Euro taillights, are you kidding me? Trust me, this isn’t the old wannabe Lexus IS chrome cheapy Altezza stuff people used to put on their Civics.

      Sorry if I offended anyone. To each their own I say. And CARiD still does carry Altezza lights for you retro folk.

      But anyways, the taillights they carry are the latest in automotive lighting technology. They contain fiber optics and feature polycarbonate lenses for optimal durability along with distinctive reflectors for both safety and fashion. Very cool looking.

      High tech, huh? The fiber optic strips act as running lights while the LEDs provide for the brake lights and turn signals. The best part? Fiber Optic taillights burn more efficiently and last longer than OEM ones.

      But don’t get me wrong. that’s not the only thing they sell. CARiD sell many other automotive accessories. The company offers custom and OEM car accessories for both interior and exterior custom styling, performance and comfort.

      So, check them out.


        Stone BMW Z4 Coupe

        June 16th, 2010 -- by Alex -- Posted in Automobile, BMW | No Comments »

        Hi guys, check out this Bimmer!

        Photobucket

        Yep, that’s right. It is what you think that is. A BMW Z4 Coupe made out of stone, just hanging out on the street in Beijing, China.

        Photobucket

        You know what’s also cool about the car? It has a full interior as well. Check out the detail on the steering wheel and center console.

        Photobucket

        I wonder what it is made of exactly? Is that real brick-and-mortar work, or is it just cement made to look like something else? Could be styrofoam for all I know I guess.

        Photobucket

        Does it drive? Probably not, but then again, the Chinese are pretty damn ingenious people. All I know is, better have your afer life insurance policy paid up.

        And how did they do the windows?!?

        For our French readers:

        Salut les gars, examiner ce Bimmer !

        Ouais, cela a raison. C’est que vous pensez que cela est. Un BMW Z4 Coupe a fait de la pierre, traînant juste sur la rue à Pékin, Chine.

        Vous savez quel est aussi frais de la voiture ? Il a un intérieur plein aussi. Examiner le détail sur le volant de direction et la console centrale.

        Je me demande qu’il est fait d’exactement ? Cette vraie brique est-elle-et-le travail de mortier, ou est cimente a fait l’avoir juste l’air de quelque chose d’autre ? Pourrait être du polystyrène pour autant que je sache je devine.

        Conduit-il ? Probablement pas, mais d’autre part, le Chinois est des gens ingénieux assez fichus. Tout ce que je sais c’est, mieux a votre afer La politique d’assurance-vie a payé.

        Et comment ont-ils fait les fenêtres ! ?


          Support Our Veterans

          What’s going on guys? I know that in this economy, everyone is scrambling for money and donating anything is the last thing on everyone’s mind.

          Now, I am sure like me, you probably have at least one or more clunkers tucked away in your garage, yard, or storage space. You call it your project car (you’re significant other calls it junk scrape metal). You will get to it soon and restore it to it’s former glory, but one thing happens after another and it just keeps getting pushed further and further back on your listed of priorities.

          Well, here’s a thought: donate a car to one of the charitable organizations out there.

          You know that homeless person you always pass by and want to help? But you are a bit reluctant because you don’t know if he really is a veteran or just dressed like one? Well if you process car donations through a reputable website, they will not only pick up your car, truck, or van, but get you a hefty tax deduction as well.

          Personally, I am inclined to use the good folks over at CarsHelpingVeterans dot Org to donate used cars.

          The process is easy, towing is free, and your car donation is 100% tax deductible. Just use their simple online car donation form, schedule an appointment, and viola! Done!

          All right guys, stay tuned for more updates. Be safe out there. And charitable.


            335i to M3 Conversion

            May 3rd, 2010 -- by Alex -- Posted in Automobile, BMW | 2 Comments »

            What’s going on guys? So, I’m loving the V8 power I’m getting from the twin turbo six in the 335i. The Remus exhaust howls. The rims are bad ass. I haven’t seen anyone else with them. But I want to give the car a more aggressive look. Instead of wasting my time with all those junkie bodykits, I decided to do a M3 conversion; quarter panels and all.

            Here are some pictures of what the car looks like into Day 2:

            Photobucket

            All 335i panels were striped off. No fenders, no roof, and no bumpers. Need to have that carbon fiber roof to look genuine. Love that Remus sticking out.

            Photobucket

            The rear wheel wells have to be replaced but we are going to try to reuse the ones in front. M3 mirrors will also be swapped in for the 335i ones.

            Photobucket

            The bottom of the quarter panels have been cut to receive the wider M3 ones. They will be welded together.

            Stay tuned for more updates folks.


              Lex Racing Adjustable Levers

              January 19th, 2010 -- by Alex -- Posted in Motorcycle | 1 Comment »

              What’s up everyone? These levers have been five years in the making. We were second after CRG to come up with the concept but with Pazzo coming out with mass produced multi colored levers right after them, we decided to hold off and come up with a better product.

              Photobucket

              As you can see above, the first Lex Racing Levers were grooved at the front to conform to a rider’s fingers. We didn’t think this would be enough to kill the competition, so we went back to the drawing board. What we came up with, you can see below.

              Photobucket

              Now, the Lex Racing Lever is fully adjustable to fit all hands (unless you are a giant, or a baby). The clicker controls a roller cam assembly, giving riders the ability to manipulate lever position even while riding. Brake fade and clutch adjustments can be tuned as well.

              Like our competition, they are of 6061-T6 CNC machined aluminum construction. However, not only do they have six clicks of adjustability, and the folding featured, they can be lengthened and shortened with ease.

              Photobucket

              We have definitely come a long way from the design above.

                Automobile Insurance

                January 14th, 2010 -- by Alex -- Posted in Automobile, Motorcycle | 3 Comments »




                Hey guys, I am going shy away from writing about Remus exhausts and talk about a problem we as drivers have been facing. 2009 was a bad year for many of us in the automobile industry. With record low sales, repossessions, and record bankruptcy filings, buying new vehicles was the last thing on everyone’s mind.

                Let’s do a quick recap of 2009, to prove my point. 2009 saw the birth and death of the disastrous Cash for Clunkers fiasco. Yes, dealers were able to move a few new models in the beginning, only to have the irresponsible default again on the new loans. Motorcycle sales were so poor that many Japanese manufacturers decided not to import 2010 models because the 2009 models were still sitting on showroom floors!

                So, this brings me to my concern. What happens to auto insurance companies when no one is buying any new vehicles? Sure, people still have to insure their old cars, but with the economy the way it is, they probably stick with liability coverage only. With less new auto loan companies requiring full coverage, the insurance companies are making less money.

                Enter discount auto insurance offered by online companies. By moving business online, companies cut out many costs associated with traditional offices. No office rent means less supply costs. No office equals less employees to pay. Employees working from home will use their own computers. Etc. etc.

                But with so many of these discount auto insurance boutiques opening up, the quality of service tends to take a downward spiral. No more one-on-one face time with your insurance adjuster, because time is money, and they have many other clients. And with profits being razor thin, companies tend to watch out only for themselves, which in turn hurts the customer.

                My point, and advice? Stick with the larger, more established auto insurance companies, if you can afford it. When and if you should be in an accident, it will pay off. However, if like the rest of the millions of other Americans, you are strapped for cash, and are a relatively safe driver, then by all means, try one of the discount auto insurance companies online.

                If nothing else, they usually have great websites that are chock full of free information. Most of these discount auto insurance websites have different pages on how to apply for discounts, what to do if you need to file a claim, etc, etc.


                  Remus HexaCone for Streetfighter

                  December 21st, 2009 -- by Alex -- Posted in Ducati, Motorcycle | No Comments »

                  What’s up guys? Just wanted to show you the new Remus exhaust for the Ducati Streetfighter. It actually comes in two versions.

                  The first is the dual outlet slip on available in both stainless steel and titanium. The dyno graph is shown below.

                  sf2

                  sf2d

                  The second version is what I think is the cooler one. It’s the HexaCone, High Performance Race System with a stainless steel header (2-1), conical tubes and Titan Race muffler. There is also a titanium racing version as well.

                  sf1

                  Here is the dyno graph below.

                  sf1d

                  The 24-month warranty on all EEC approved systems, and 12-month warranty on racing systems is also in effect.
