Where are all the updates after SEMA? Normally there are a bunch of threads of new products and announcements? I know a lot of people did not go this year and I sat it out myself. I thought I read a few threads saying there was going to be a big announcement at SEMA about a new import drag association starting up this year.

 

Good Question, Im also looking forward to seen some pictures and new product information

 

It was boring! Not much new to see and about 25% smaller than last year!

25% smaller than last year

wow

 

No outside tents except for Registration. About 30% of the wheel and tire upstair section was empty.

Empty booths here and there all around the show.

 

You probably already know this, but Hondata just released ems for the s2000. You can send your box in and they will install it for you. Fully tunable with datalogging.

Stay tuned for Exospeeds new 3 piece front end and some other things in the works for the first of the year from them.

We Mfactory will be debuting the new dog engagement trans with some sick ratios for the turbo class. K-series will follow soon after.

We heard of rumors on NHRA coming back to Sport compact. But obviously that went into the hole. Gotta love rumors.

 

We've had Hondata on our s2000 since march using RSX ecu and parts..kind of a pain and expensive...is it something plug and play or is this what you are reffering to?

I kinda expected the show to be smaller than it was with the economy...i didn't think it was too bad. I had a fun time, bachelor party for the manager of Hard Rock was insane

 

Anyone know who won the Castrol Top Shop Engine build? I thought it was supposed to be announced at SEMA but I can't find anything about results....

 

Not sure, but Bisi seemed in good spirits at Asia.

I didn't have time to go through the new product section. Went by and talked to Larry about the B and K heads he helped developed. Very impressive on both of them. Torco has some new fuel coming out as well as (don't know the correct name" fuel upgrader. It turns xx octane into xx octane and is not an octane booster. Some cool stuff will be coming from Torco but it isn't public yet. We (MFactory) have out B dog engagement, Pro straight cut FD's, axles, and trans cooler coming out. Gathered interest on an NSX PRO gearset after talking to a lot of guys that came by the booth as well as when I stopped by AEM. Brembo has some really nice new brake kits for the road race guys. Wil's new line of wheels looked extremely good, he is also coming out with road race wheels and his 3 piece front end. Other than talking to some of my suppliers I didn't have much time to go around other than the places I already mentioned. I'll get all my pics up sometime tonight but they're just general show and model pics. I didn't carry my camera with me when I went by a lot of booths.

 

Thanks Steve.

Ya we have a few things in the works from Exospeed Racing Products.
1. 3 pcs front end by January.
2. Our new Sleeves with Darton Sleeves by December for the B and K series.
3. Exospeed Racing Wheels: 1 pcs Forged racing wheels for the Sport Compact market. PLUS OPTIONAL BEAD LOCK!!!! that'll come a bit after we release the forged wheel.

 

I believe AMS won the Castrol Shootout...

 

AMS / Modified Magazine

 

remember this is a true bead lock with bead lock rings and bead lock bolts instead of the typical "screw through" method that is common amongst us.

 

First Beadlock ring specifically for Sport compact drag wheels!

Was there 3 days and must say I was disappointed to see how much smaller its was than last. Perfectly said above a lot of vendors didn't even attend. Let alone the outside of the show was only registration and picnic area.

Bosch had some nice new pumps in design and in release stages. that was prolly the most interesting thing i seen. Couple nice cars too, but nothing like previous years..

 

Exospeed will be doing big things in 09..

 

HUGE THINGS!!!

 

ExospeedAMcrx

any pictures of what they wheels may look alike ?

 

I'm wondering the same

 

We're still in R&D phase right now with certain designs, so I cant really show anything right now. We've been in the works with this for several months. We were just waiting for certain catalysts in the industry to happen so we can continue with certain projects. I've witnessed a few things the last couple months that made me feel good about SC drag racing. Thats why we're moving on to the next step.

 

Pics now or I post our drunk pic in Prive.

 

post it up!

 

better do it will!

 

now thats [freak]ed up. LOL. What happens in vegas stays in vegas sucka. haha.
