NEW HRE Vintage Series Wheels

admin — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 04:43:25 +0000

“The process of recreating vintage designs that captured the style and essence of the originals was very exciting and challenging for all of us at HRE,” said HRE Wheels President Alan Peltier. “These designs take us all back to the ‘70’s and ‘80’s when we were kids falling in love with exotics for the first time and truly becoming car lovers. Capturing all the character and magic of these designs, while ensuring they fit modern super cars and met our current engineering standards, made the project tougher than simply creating replicas of the original cast wheels. We found inspiration in those original designs but created wheels that reflect the HRE of today; wheels that are truly inspired.”

All three models available in HRE’s Vintage Line have been reengineered with modern FEA analysis for maximum strength, machined from aerospace-grade forged alloy and hand-finished to every customer’s exact specifications. Models available include the 454 (classic Italian style five-window), the 501 (mesh lace) and the 505 (thick five spoke) in 18 through 20 inch diameters and widths ranging from 7 to 14 inches. Nearly unlimited finish options are available, from classic gold, bronze and polished centers and rims to hand-brushing and custom tinted colors.

This series is specifically designed for customers looking for a classic design backed by modern engineering. Popular applications could include the BMW 1M and M3, Porsche 997 and 991, a variety of current Ferrari and Lamborghini models and other popular European, Japanese and domestic sports and luxury cars.

NEW iPro Lens System for iPhone 4 & 4S

admin — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:10:48 +0000

If you want to take some cool pictures with your iPhone 4 or 4S, you have to check out the iPro Lens System. You can come in and pick one or two up or you can purchase them here;

http://www.darksidemotoring.com/merchandise/add_item.php?id=2406

About the iPro Lens System

All of the components of the iPro Lens System are designed to work together. Both the Wide Angle and the Fisheye Lenses use a bayonet mount to securely fasten onto the iPhone case. The iPhone case gives you the two options of attaching the handle on the left or right side of the iPhone. The handle itself safely stores your lenses and enables you to attach your iPhone to any tripod. The iPro Lens System is specifically designed for the iPhone 4 and 4S.

Individual Components

Fisheye Lens

Captures pictures with a spectacular 165° field of view. Once you start taking photos with the Fisheye Lens, you may not want to stop. It’s distorted in all the right ways. Better than any app you can download, it alters your field of view to a spectacular 165°, making every shot both panoramic and dramatic.

Wide Angle Lens

Provides an impressive 35% wider field of view. Twist on the Wide Angle Lens and change your whole perspective. This lens provides a 35% wider field of view with minimal distortion and edge-to-edge sharpness. It doesn’t matter if you’re at a crowded concert, in a small kitchen, or just trying to get everyone in the family photo, the Wide Angle will capture it.

iPhone Case

Uses a bayonet mount to attach lenses and integrates handle attachment points on both sides.

Handle/Lens Case

Provides steady shots as a handle, stores lenses, and is also a tripod mount adapter.

FOV = field of view. On the iPhone 4/4S the video mode uses less of the sensor than the still image mode so the field of view is less. Therefore we show the FOV for both modes because they are different.

35mm equivalent: Because many people are familiar with what FOV is associated with different focal length lenses on 35mm Still Cameras it is common to equate other cameras and lenses to what focal length lens would give the same picture on your Nikon, Canon, or other full frame 35mm camera.

The iPro Lenses were designed specifically for use on the iPhone 4 and 4S, taking into account the characteristics of the lens and sensor.

Additional lenses, iPhone cases, or replacement parts available for separate purchase.

2011 & 2012 GMC Sierra and Chevy Silverado Duramax Owners Get K&N Lifetime Air Filter

admin — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 23:11:16 +0000

The Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks have been a pillar of American culture since their inception in 1975. Compared to the first truck GMC ever made in 1930, the Sierra and Silverado series are fairly modern. Sierra and Silverado pickup trucks have become household names for work and pleasure in a very short time frame and owners all over America have been enjoying these trucks for their power and comfort. In 2011 these trucks underwent some substantial changes. Although the trucks look similar to earlier models they came with an improved 6.6 liter Duramax diesel engine. This engine packs a huge gain in torque and some gains in horsepower, as well as some improvements in chassis and suspension components. The stiffer ride helps with steering response, handling on rough roads, and the vehicle’s turning radius.

K&N has released part 33-2466, replacement air filter, for 2011 and 2012 Silverado and Sierra 2500 HD and 3500 HD models with 6.6 liter diesel engines. The 33-2466 is designed to increase horsepower and acceleration by replacing the restrictive OE paper filter with a high-flow, washable and reusable K&N oiled cotton gauze air filter. The 33-2466 filter also provides outstanding filtration efficiency and dirt capacity so it can go up to 50,000 miles between servicing depending on driving conditions. When cleaning is required, it can easily be completed by following simple cleaning instructions with K&N’s 99-5000 or 99-5050 Recharger^® Kits. K&N OE replacement air filter 33-2466 is easy to install and backed by K&N’s Million Mile Limited Warranty, so it will be the last air filter you will ever have to purchase. You can purchase it right here!http://www.darksidemotoring.com/merchandise/add_item.php?id=2310
