14 year old crashes brand new Mustang in garage

2009-02-08T13:10:34-08:00

Here we see the family gathering around a ‘tricked out’ brand new Ford Mustang. While everyone admires the 14 year old son gets behind the wheel and fires it up with some serious consequences.

From the more info at YouTube :

I “(JJ) Jeremiah Rainier” shot this video clip.* My friend’s dad just got a brand new “Mustang ‘07 Eleanor”....ofcourse his son who is 14 is way to excited and well lets just say the car must have only been in the driveway for 5 mins lol, dont wanna ruin the surprise.

Though the best part is when (hopefully another child) asks whether he will get a new bike, as his was apparently smashed in the accident.

Bugatti Veyron...supercar or super parts?

2008-06-06T23:19:41-07:00

I don’t know much about cars, but this video shows James May, co-presenter of the BBC television show Top Gear and journalist for the magazine of the same name, taking the Bugatti Veyron over 253 mph. Seems pretty impressive to me. Some of the folks over at YouTube were saying in the comments thought this was an unimpressive supercar, but an amazing engineering feat for the parts separately. I was hoping someone with more knowledge about cars could explain it to me better.

When worlds collide...A McWebGuy speaks out about Dali Racing

2008-05-30T17:50:23-07:00

In my other life doing design work for other companies I have had the opportunity to work on many fun projects. One that still brings me great joy to this day is one for Mark Johnson of Dali Racing . Dali Racing is a leading manufacturer of aftermarket race parts for the Acura NSX.

While some big name companies certain make specialty parts for the NSX there are only a handful who are (nearly) completely focused on the NSX. Two of the big boys are Science of Speed and Dali Racing.

In fact, among NSX owners, like many niche clubs and groups of people tend to, there are a lot of factions within the NSX circle(s) over all manner of topics, many of which have nothing to do with the car. These divisions of interest and belief include such topics as Microsoft , how you dress , and where, why, and how much to pay for Oakley sunglasses .

But in the minds of the DaliMcWebGuys, whose understanding and vision of the NSX community comes from skewed interpretations of the stories of our beloved slave driver Mark Johnson, there is no rivalry or contention in the NSX community bigger than that of whose service sucks more, Science of Speed or Dali Racing!

While it is hard to tell, I must admit that upon doing some “quick” research (i.e. random searches for words like sucks, bad service, good service) searching the NSX Prime forums it is impossible to say who might suck more. Unfortunately this article is not a scientific inquiry so no answer to the question will be put to rest here. Though it was clear that Mark has pissed more people off, and this article is about that and why I would have it no other way.

Having worked with Mark for nearly 10 years, I can personally say he is a crazy man, knows that he thinks he knows, knows what he believes to be true, and makes no bones about speaking his mind. While at times I have winced as he describes his customer relations, the fact is I have no doubt he treats everyone, including himself, by the same code. He doesn’t offer club discounts because he sells his stuff at the lowest possible price in the first place to everybody. He does his best to run his one man show and will not apologize for how he conducts business unless he has patently screwed up. He is both a hard and fun loving man who is constantly on the go and extremely passionate about anything he endeavors.

And it is his unique style and attitude that makes him so endearing, and would tend to piss people off who are utterly lacking a sense of humor. That and he nearly always pays us for our work :)

But it is Mark’s extreme and sometimes kitschy sense of humor that is his most endearing quality. As web designers and developers though this has translated into ongoing battles over best practices, interface design, and design in general. Where some people might be more concerned about how to navigate their website, Mark has always been more interested in what you might find along the way. Thus his site is a myriad maze of jokes, public and private, to amuse the masses while they get a fair deal on the largest collection of aftermarket parts for the NSX.

While all this may be anathema to some business owners, Mark didn’t start Dali Racing to get rich. Dali Racing (whose name is it’s own joke taken from Dolly the sheep who was in the news at the time as the first cloned adult mammal ) began after Mark got into the NSX community and found himself disgusted by the outrageous overpricing that he saw in the NSX aftermarket parts market. This alone did not translate to creating some kind of egalitarian solution. On the contrary, Mark figured that he could make parts for himself at an affordable price so long as he made and sold X number of the part to the community. Through the years while this may appear to have blossomed into a huge business, this biased insider would say nothing has changed except that Mark really enjoyed designing parts and having a website. And it worked.

So to those individuals who would turn to Dali Racing expecting any of the traditional free market trappings of the customer-is-always-right were in for a big shock. This do-it-my-way attitude has nothing to do with a lack of concern for whether people are being treated fairly or getting the best possible service. It is about Mark and friends having a good time. Not to describe it as a private club, but quite frankly, if you don’t get the joke and you aren’t having any fun, fuck it. Dali Racing isn’t going to stop having fun because of you.

And the McWebGuys have never been an exception in this way of doing business. While always given a libertine dose of free reign on how to accomplish his goals of having the biggest, funniest, most informative NSX network of sites on the internet, we have been very clear directives on what the end goal was intended to be.

For example, given the directive to build an online catalog of parts, we design a fully functional database driven system, and then Mark says, now put the Gay Dancing spiderman flashing full screen every tenth time someone views this ONE part. We create categories based on standard and universal categorization of automotive parts, and Mark says, make categories called Boy Racer and Go Faster (which embody 90% of all parts he sells). Funny as hell sometimes, but if you are looking for a traditional shopping experience don’t come to Dali.

Browsing the Dali Racing catalog is quite the adventure. While browsing a list of superchargers, brake its, or shiny bits to satisfy your chromatosis you might find such things as Leather spanking belts , Buggy Balls , Corpses , Custom Hand Painted NSX Rock and the The whole company

One of our favorite stunts in the past few years was the “Easter Egg” hunt. On the welcome page of Dali’s main site, we announced that there was an easter egg hunt. Find the easter egg on a site with well over a 1000 pages of content. Right. Except that the industrious might actually do a search for easter egg in the Dali Search engine (famous for it’s please wait message, Hal is looking shit up…). To this searcher they would be returned a list of results ranging in length from 10 to 30 pages that were all titled “Easter Egg.” Now we could have stopped there but it wasn’t quite enough. So when you find the right “Easter Egg” page you were merely given a hint as to the location on the site of the infamous easter egg. That hint being, “What is the least read page on Dali Racing?” But if you did manage to find the carton of colored eggs partially filled with shiny shift knobs, then you would have been treated to $25 off shipping on any order placed on Easter Sunday.

In order to pull this stunt off we had to modify the search engine to usurp the results if the term easter egg was searched for and all the programmatic necessities to make it happen. Mark is not a rich guy and Dali Racing is not a wealthy multi-national corporation. Maybe we meet and work on the site four hours a week if lucky, and while getting new parts listed and useful tips and articles posted is the highest priority, humor and visitor interaction come a close second (sometimes first). It becomes plainly obvious that having a good time is more important than whether sales can be increased by 20% next year.

Even I will admit that some of these fun and games, and the limited time and money that can go into expanding the online Dali empire comes at the cost of usability and even to my chagrin, style and design. But there just isn’t enough money or time to both make Gay Spiderman defy the entire flow of the website and design the most cutting edge user interace and system schema. Every attempt to redesign and introduce a “typical” visitor experience ends up in yawns of disinterest or is utterly thwarted halfway through implemenation by the next hilarious stunt.

This has always posed a conflict for me. In my personal life I have always been a contrary thinker, more inclined to performance art and satire. But in my professional life I had taken on a very status quo attitude of meeting the professional needs of my clients. And I would have never sat down to consult with a client said, you know, making the entire screen flash with gay spiderman will really increase sales. That would have been assanine.

And yet, I sit here with the biggest grin on my face thinking about gay spiderman. Over the years I have come to admire Mark Johnson in ways that no other client has come close. But not just as a client, but as a human being. I don’t always agree with him, sometimes he pisses me off too. But that is part of what it means to be human. Mark is a true patriot representing the best and worst of the free market system. If you don’t like it take your money elsewhere. If you do, welcome aboard, the ride will be bumpy and you’re going to like it.

But one of our crowning achievements that inspired me to write this article was the battle between Science of Speed and Dali Racing. When the folks who don’t get Dali Racing start complaining about the usability of his site, they often refer in comparison, to the more common and sleek style of interface and no-nonsense information presentation found at Science of Speed. When confronted with this comparison you are likely to get the yawn from Mark Johnson.

Through the years, the McWebguys have attempted to infuse a certain amount of sensibility to the madness that is Dali Racing. Instead of replacing standardized category schemes with “aribitrary fun names”, we added the ability to sort the catalog by both. We added an in-depth highly functional search engine . We provided a master list view of all parts . We created an icon/image browse view , a text-only list view , and even created the ANYBROWSER 1.0 no-frills option in an effort to balance the humor with the usability.

But after hearing the Science of Speed and Dali Racing ease of use comparison one too many times, we happened on the best idea yet.

Say what you want about the Dali Racing website, it’s usability, design, or technology being used, but some of the Dali Racing site is still running code and programming from 1999 back when the McWebGuys were still figuring out the heck they were doing with this new eCommerce (and sometimes it shows :). While Mark has never permitted a complete overhaul to the look of the Dali Racing site design, the database driven functionality has meant we could have done it at any time (excepting the hundreds and hundreds of static web pages that were created prior). But faced with the Science of Speed comparison and how much people seemed to love that site, we decided to make our own.

Meet the Physics of Dali .

We recreated the entire Science of Speed site…Dali style! This we still believe today is the greatest homage in the entire NSX community. Every page, every screen, every feature matched one for one, but with more content and more parts!

Nefarious? Sure. Hilarious? You bet. And yet this is the greatest honor we could bestow. We admitted that if you wanted a straight ahead interface for finding your part without the danger of laughing or wasting a few minutes, Science of Speed had the superior site design.

It was all in good fun, and to the credit of Science of Speed, they have never said anything about the site. While I personally was sad they didn’t either yell or give us a quiet nod of acknowledgment, I will confess that I respect their behaving as gentlemen about the whole thing. As far as I can tell they are good folks with a fine service and the same level of perceived superiority and incompetence as Dali Racing from the same supporters and detractors, akin to the ongoing MAC VS PC maniacs.

For the record I have never heard Mark Johnson utter a disparaging comment about Science of Speed. Even the site parody itself was directed at the complainers in the forums, not Science of Speed. In fact Mark rarely complains about much, except when his McWebGuys break his site, or his machinists deliver unusable parts.

It is my opinion of suffering Dali Racing for so many years that I only wish I had the balls and self confidence to run a business as honest and true to myself as Mark has with his.

Wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen this post on the Coast to Coast website. ;)

This truck actually runs on wood.

Apparently this is a concept that was engineered back in WWII when there were fuel supply shortages. I have never heard of it.

Got Mods? Post your cool Pelican case mods

2008-04-21T12:17:33-07:00

I started a page in our resource library a while back to show off some interesting and unique Pelican case mods and uses.

http://cotradeco.com/pages/58-creative-and-unique-pelican-case-modifications

I was inspired to re-announce the Pelican mod page after talking with one of our trading post customers about their recent Pelican 1450 case order. Apparently he is mounting it as a top box on his motorcycle in a similar manner to a picture Hoots Magoon had posted at Adventure Rider- Ride the world forums .

Hopefully we can get new pics of the 1450 on another bike soon. (hint hint :)

In the meantime, why not get your own SPOT at CoTradeCo and post some cool Pelican Case mods. If you don’t have time to sign up just email them in. We’ll be happy to post them for you. See some interesting mods at our Creative and Unique Pelican Case Modifications resource page

This little light works perfect especially when you need both hands. It puts out a real bright white light to help light up all those little cracks and crevices. I use it all the time when working on my Harley and you if you own one you know what I’m talking about, there’s one thing that will frustrate me more is not enough light in the places where you need it the most. Out of the 4 flashlights I own this one helps the most.

Own an NSX and need OEM parts?

2007-12-01T00:08:51-08:00

Daliracing (that’s me—but it did say shameless promotion) has a handy web tool for locating the OEM parts for your Acura NSX.

nsxpartsdb.com

Built to resemble the crazy old dos programs that dealers still seem to use half the time when looking up OEM parts, we replicated the entire database for OEM NSX parts, and you can look them up, better than the dealer here.

You can’t buy em from there, but it is a handy way of finding what you need.

But then (the shameless promotion part…) you can buy them from daliracing.com

Thanks for listening, now get shopping or get racing.

Introduction to the BOOSTZILLA Supercharger System

The BOOSTZILLA Supercharger System (BZILLA) was developed with Dali Racing by an eccentric local San Diego performance FI tuner.

Our BZILLA system was developed after some beers Beer Chuggin and at least a week of R&D, our primary aim being to overcome as many of the shortcomings of the currently existing forced induction products for the NSX as possible; and still have a kit that was as affordable and as easy to maintain/fun to drive as the car it was designed for.

Performance

A common complaint from NSX owners (especially in the Forums Banging head against wall smiley) is for more and more power. The BZILLA was designed to offer a linear power curve consistently delivered across the entire usable RPM band, and it does. The BZILLA delivers consistent peak power gains of over 90-170 rear wheel horsepower depending upon the configuration you choose.

Reliability

The most important aspect of the developmental process for this system was NOT winning the peak HP number game; but reliability. Keeping the KISS* method firmly in mind, a track testing program was initiated BEFORE bringing the BZILLA kit to market to subject the kit to more use than any street driver would normally attempt. All systems have been subjected to real world use testing for reliability of both structural and fuel delivery systems. The 7075 aluminum structural components were tested by computer stress analysis programs for maximum structural rigidity and went through 4 design refinements prior to the final piece. Simple yet effective fuel systems are utilized for maximum performance with reliability and safety in the base kit. Stage 2-3-4 kits use more sophisticated piggyback and standalone computers..

Design

The BZILLA incorporates several design features that take into consideration the unique application packaging challenges posed by the NSX. The BZILLA was designed to be as non invasive addition to your car as possible with a primary design principle of balancing performance WITH reliability.

One design consideration was to develop a supercharger kit that fits under the factory engine cover & shock tower braces for lower cost and to enable “stealth installs”. The BZILLA fits properly under both the coupe and T-Top engine covers without modification to any parts. We are currently looking at the T-Top strutbar issue to see what we can do about that.

As all superchargers are belt driven, the BZILLA is driven by a simple but well wrapped belt drive system using hard anodized billet 6061 idler pulleys and the OEM 5 rib A/C, alternator and main crank pulley. Some of the other kits on the market use non OEM main crank pulleys – we feel that Acura put the harmonic balancer design Main Crank pulley on the NSX for a good reason – so we have retained the OEM crank pulley in ALL kits.

This allows the BZILLA to be placed optimally for tidy packaging and efficient performance resulting in maximum RWHP at the lowest cost per HP on the market. Our design also allows the factory alternator, coolant tank and fuse box to remain in their factory positions unmodified. Unlike other supercharger systems for the NSX, cars equipped with the BZILLA can also change their oil without burned fingers and impossible to recover when dropped oil filler caps.

The BZILLA can also be installed without drilling holes in your firewall for the overflow tank attachment, and the BZILLA also comes with a “free” (because we designed it that way) “cold air” intake – no aftermarket or home made “Home Depot Intake” mods are needed to get outside the engine compartment air to the SC. This lowers intake temps = more HP. The BZILLA has the lowest intake temps of any non intercooled kit on the market today – we measured them.

All 4 BOOSTZILLA Supercharger Systems are complete including: Vortech supercharger , belt, 7075 bracket assembly & grade 10.9 mounting hardware, and fuel system management; which can include; (depending upon the kit selected) larger fuel pump, fuel regulator, larger fuel injectors, intercooler, FMU computer etc. All BZILLA kits will currently be installed at our shop only.

At some point in the future we may release the kits to certain approved shops for local installs in your area. While we think about how we want to implement that, feel free to come out and have it done here – the weather has to be better here than where you are.

Keep It Simple & Safe.

Trophy Nielson

2007-11-11T01:25:08-08:00

The “Nielson” car as we call it was built by Seikel Motorsports in Germany for the Honda backed
factory race efforts in Europe in 1993-4 and raced by a Danish guy, John Nielson .
This car raced at the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1993 and lived to tell about it.

It was retired at the end of 1994. See article
for some details and fun English flavored commentary.
I picked up the car in 1999 from Herr Josting, an NSX fanatic in Germany who bought two of the original three cars made from Seikel or from someone at Honda Germany that wanted to clean out the unwanted “junk” in their storage garages. Build details and the cars exact history are unclear since Herr Josting died of leukemia right before we completed the sale. This car is currently at AREA 51.5 being restored and improved upon here and there. Pix were taken at NSXPO 2003. Expect some of the factory race parts to come to market soon.

The “Hahne” car as we call it was built by Seikel Motorsports in Germany for the Honda backed factory race efforts in Europe
in 1993-4 and raced by a German guy, Armin Hahne .
This car raced at the 24 hours of Le Mans in 1993 and lived to tell about it which is amazing considering that Armin is known worldwide for breaking shit.

It was retired at the end of 1994. See article

Unfortunately, Herr Josting sold the STAC Dash and original motor and replaced
them with OEM parts from his collection of Autobahn specials . This car is currently in Germany at Ecker Honda being restored and improved upon here and there. Pix were taken at SPA in 2003. We will return there in 2004. Expect some of the factory race parts to come to market soon.

when I found it inside the trailer he had for sale.
It became my trailer and the car came home with it too.
I decided to take it to NSXPO 2002 when Mark Basch made the decision that fixing the 3.2L motor
in the Candy Cane that one of his test BBSC installs blew up in 2/2/02 was not that important to do.
(he had 7 months in 2002 to do it prior to NSXPO, and it still is blown up in
2004 ).

Back to the good stuff – this car rocks and is great fun to drive. I
added some (ok … lots) of rice decals, 16” CE28N wheels, DC Sports
Titanium Race headers, and an Exedy single disc race clutch with lite
fly. UMP fabricated a custom intake with Apexi filter, front splitter
and some neat brake
ducting. On the motor side we disassembled, cryo treated and rebuilt
the motor & tranny. While that was happening we extrudehone’d the
head and intake manifold for 10% better flow. It runs a SPOON
computer. A track favorite unless you’re the NSX being passed!
