The new Voltex wing for the X… Cool or no?
It would definitely look better with a full kit or a lip. Kinda looks like the Varis wing only shorter but for me tho my favorite wing for this car is the Esprit wing seen here on the dunlop / blitz Evo X. Love it. That shit don’t fuck around.
… Only, in bite size form. Apparently Steve Jobs call it the Dragon Nano. Haha it’s real tho found in a forest reserve in Buton, Indonesia. Wait a few years and you’ll see British people slaying these things to save the princess… Perhaps having babies with a donkey too? I don’t know. Let’s just say that if evolution is taking it’s course, the flies and mosquitoes of the future are gonna be a bitch.
I always say that “the best camera to have is the one with you.” See to me it doesn’t matter if you have an SLR, a point and shoot or a camera phone. If an opportunity arises, whatever you have with you will be the best medium to capture the moment. Of course one will be better than the other but what’s the use of having the best damn camera ever if you don’t have it with you to capture that right shot.
Want an example? Well I don’t mean that this is the best damn picture ever but it’s pretty decent in my taste. Here’s a shot I took of JB’s car while rolling out of Las Vegas Convention Center last SEMA. While waiting for the trailer to come in, I just took the time to shoot this pic. Cool thing about my point and shoot is that it has manual functions. Not as good as a SLR but it works for the most part. Like I always say, “something is better than nothing” so check it out and let me know what you guys think.
Here’s another Auto Stitch Photo from the iphone. Cool stuff. Once again no photoshop or anything just straight from the phone. Pretty decent considering it’s made up of multiple cell phone photos.
Most next gen cell phones have camera now and some are definitely better than others. Actually some now can range up to 8mp but the quality is yet to be desired. Some have auto focus, flash and crazy filters that’ll make a camera a run for it’s money. Samsung for example has a camera with a phone (Samsung Memoir), unlike the usual phone with a camera. Since I live and breathe photography I do have an SLR Camera with the range of lenses you really can’t bring that anywhere especially on spur of the moment type of events. I do have a point and shoot camera but I can’t help but use my camera phone more often than both of those.
Now we all know that Evo’s are fatasticly fast and some of the best handing cars out there. And all Evo lovers has probably seen that one episode of Top Gear where a Evo IX chases down and out performs a Murci. Well as we all know that Evo is known as an FQ-400. Sadly it is only available in the British Isles. With the new X we’ve all been anticipating when the new FQ-400 is coming out…
Finally Here it is… There hasn’t been a HQ pic of the FQ (hehe), and after a night of hunting for it I finally tracked one down. Holy hell it’s gorgeous. I want one. Aside from the new, very aggressive body that the car has, the UK engineers achieved on cranking out a total of 405bhp from this 2 liter 4B11 that all Xs have. A higher flowing exhaust system and a heavy modified ECU is the source of this power and I’m pretty sure a much larger turbo is also under the hood. Brembo brakes was tossed out and replaced by much more aggressive Alcon stoppers. Bad news for the Flappy paddle lovers tho since those, like the Brembos, are tossed out in place to a much more traditional 5 speed transmission which I much rather have. Even tho the the Dual SST is a major leap in automotive technology, I do not think it can handle the power and torque this car produces. Mitsu still is tight lipped about the suspension setup but expect this car to make circles around any OE STI out there and chasing raging bulls on the road. Can’t wait for another road test by the Top Gear crew. I’m sure they have something exciting up their sleves.
Here’s a couple more shots but unfortunately they’re not as high quality as the last one but nonetheless, enjoy
