Sportec - Audi TT RS - 400bhp Performance Upgrade


It was recently announced that the Swiss performance company Sportec has released the 400bhp stage one performance upgrade for Audi TT RS. The aftermarket chip is able to extract more power from the 2.5litre TFSI engine without the need for any internal mods or touching the RS’s engine management system, which is rather convenient. 335bhp at 5400rpm and 328 lb.ft at 1600rpm is the maximum out put for the standard RS which is turbo charged five cylinder and with the chip installed, the vehicle will push 400bhp at 5800 rpm and 401 lb.ft at 2650rpm which is a considerable increase.

What does that mean in real life terms? After the conversion, the RS is hitting 0 - 100km/h in 4.2 seconds compared to 4.6 seconds while standard.

OriginalFake – KAWS Glow In The Dark Dissected COMPANION? - Fake Or Real???

A major downside to the popularity of OriginalFake designs is the overabundance of pirated and imitated goods out there. So there is always a great apprehension when an one-of-one OriginalFake merchandise appears, as in this Glow In The Dark Dissected COMPANION Figure by KAWS. The images originated from a collector in Shanghai, who claimed to have 1 of only 2 produced in the world, with the other in MEDICOM TOY’s headquarter in Tokyo. This Dissected COMPANION underwent a full GITD treatment - the intact side on left emits a green glow while the exposed side on the right produced a eerie blue glow. But the question remains, since there is no way to verify or authenticate this particular figure, is it a real OriginalFake? Or just a superb pirated copy? Feel free to leave your comments below… images via: VTSS

but da latest new its real !! 2006 released, 2 in the world !! 1 in CHina and another 1 its wit mr KAWS !!

Giant Bicycle - Bowery FMX


As tricks on fixed gear bicycles are stemming away from the purists of fixed gear culture, BMX/MTB styled bicycles are making way as a new movement. One of the largest manufacturers of bicycles in US is Giant and they have released the Bowery FMX version which is more in tune with trick riders rather than daily riders and commuters. The aluminum frame is matched with tough chromoly fork making it light but durable. Components are more specifically chosen with 3 piece chromoly cranks. shorter stem, lower saddle position and over all BMX/MTB like geometry. Adding to the BMX flavor is the matching padding that wrap around the top tube and retro Giant logo on the seat tube.
