315/30 18 Nitto NT01 for the track.

315/30 18 Falken RT615 for the street.

Why a missing NT01? It’s at DTM with one wedsSport wheel, for rear wide body fitment.

My 12 month old son Noah seems to like the new Cobra seats. I would have to agree with him. FIA certified, kevlar construction, made in jolly old England, and they fit like a glove. Can’t wait to install them.

So why the bloody hell did I just buy a pocket PC, and more importantly why am I posting it on my HK evo build blog? I will tell you why. This little pocket PC I bought off craigslist for really cheap is going to do a whole lot. First a pocket PC is basically a computer, just smaller. Haha now you know, and knowing is half the battle. Anyway you can surf the internet via wifi, watch videos, play mp3’s, etc, etc. Everything a computer can do, it can pretty much do. Including emulators, to play any game, from any system. It also has blueteeth (I like to call it that because it annoys people), so it can communicate with my wireless 10 Hz GPS receiver pictured below. So now I just need to add a navigation software, and will I will have a portable GPS device also. What I really bought this pocket PC for though, is to run MaxQData.

With MaxQData I will be able to data log and read:

- Lateral and Longitudinal acceleration up to 4g
- Speed and Distance
- Horsepower
- In car lap and segment times
- Altitude
- Satellite count
- Turn radius
- 1/4 mile timeslips
- Track maps
- Friction circle plots
- Coastdown and braking measurements

All logged with up to 10 Hz sampling.

I know there are other data loggers and in car lap timers, but A) they cost more B) most don’t offer 10 Hz sampling and C) you can’t play super mario on them while you are waiting at the bus stop.

CyberEvo going through the esses!

No light and no flash.

Two more and I can buy a snickers. I’m dead serious too.

Picture on TougeHero.com of me viewing TougeHero.com on my pocket PC. Sorry that was lame.

Finally some pictures of the weds! Pictures from my crappy camera, don’t do them justice. They look awesome in person. Could have went with a nice set of Rays, but to be honest the te37’s and other Rays wheels have become really, really played out. Plus the Rays +15 and +18 are pretty much homosexual compared to the pure sex that the weds +12 brings. I mean I just opened one box, and within minutes out of nowhere a car full of hot college girls show up in my driveway asking when I was free to go out. No joke! Anyway, Rays are still great wheels, and te37’s are still one of my favorite, especially in takata green, but I just wanted something different. Can’t wait to hit the track with these! Also another big thanks goes to Rishie at AutoRnDfor getting me these bad boys!! Two sets no less… Hahaaaa

Bought off ebay.

Wheels showed up straight from Japan. Was a long LONG wait, but damn was it worth it. July 1st I will reveal pictures.

I spy a blue s30…

Little sneak peak of the wheel specs. Yes that says +12 offset. ^_^

The W version has an 18mm larger eye port which is cool. This is now my second ARAI helmet and you just can’t beat the fit of these helmets. Maybe I just have an ARAI shaped head or something, but every other helmet I have tried doesn’t come close to the “fit like a glove” feel of an ARAI. You can also get different cheek size pads to really make sure it fit’s like a glove. They look dope also!

Got the final two AEM serial datastream gauges in to make a grand total of six. Will be running three in the Gruppe-S triple HVAC gauge panel and three in the dash mount Rexpeed gauge pod.

Big thanks to Rishie at AutoRnD!! Rishie is the man, with the best customer service and price hands down. I have ordered tons of stuff from him in the past, and he never fails to deliver. He had the rails in stock, and at my door in 5 days!!
