SCENE AND HEARD

A

t a time when mainstream media is bombarding us all with economic fears and nothing but endless negativity, the automotive industry needs to recognize our scene is not built on business, it’s built on community. Everyone at PAS Magazine understand our publication is an escape from the everyday and each issue is a true celebration of the automotive passion inside all of us.

Regardless of financial times, the show must go on and we’ll continue to bring you the events, projects and installs by the enthusiasts and brands supporting the scene and pushing the performance and audio limits to the edge.

With another successful year nearly in the record books and the eve of our last 2008 print deadline just hours away this seems like the perfect time to look back and reflect on the events that bring us tuners together.

CATCH THE DRIFT This past year was considered a make or break for the many automotive events and it seems the sport of drifting was targeted by critics right out of the gate. Many called for a popularity crash of the ‘fastest growing new form of Motorsports’ citing the D1 Grand Prix series retreating from US soil was a clear sign of things to come. And when NOPI ended up cancelling the remainder of their event season (including the NOPI Drift series) things weren’t exactly looking up.

But while D1GP continued to concentrate their efforts overseas and the questionable future of NOPI Drift stayed open for debate, the red hot Formula D series stepped up to the plate swinging. Formula D solidified itself as a true force in Motorsports in 2008 with and exciting line-up of competitive driver’s, impressive venues and great action and the fans (us included) enjoyed every minute of it. In fact, the recent Redbull Drifting World Championships has lifted

18

the profile of the growing sport to new heights, with top drivers from all over the globe going head-to-head for the ultimate bragging rights.

Our friends at the Redline Time Attack series also had a banner year, with more participants and more support from fans and industry alike.

Redline’s Time Attack continues to be an action packed series that’s fun to follow, watch and participate in. Keep an eye out for more from the Redline team in 2009 as I expect to see some serious competition hit the track.

SHOWS THAT SHINE When it comes to entertainment and representing the tuner lifestyle, few can match the atmosphere, the high caliber of cars and hot models / entertainment of Hot Import Nights.

These guys have earned their reputation as OGs of import scene and while the successful ‘nightclub meets car show’ experience has crept up at other events over the years, HIN is still going strong across the nation and continues to lead the way, introducing new elements that can only make our community stronger. HINs younger sibling, Night Shift has also been greeted with equally as solid response, bringing a Motorsports-like twist with extreme action, stunts and drift demos. It’s all about the evolution of the automotive tuning scene and HIN has always been there, through thick and thin.

Events like the DUB car show and concert series have created a new breed of tuning enthusiasts and helped spread the passion of our enthusiast lifestyle to the very valuable and very large urban market. The high profile celebrity rides, ultra expensive sound systems and block rockin’ live concert performances make DUB events a huge hit among consumers.

On the audio side of things, dB Drag, USACi, MECA and IASCA all continue to be there, setting records and taking car audio competition to the loudest of levels! These hardcore grassroots

audio events have an important role in the tuning community, as the dedication and hardcore automotive infatuation you see is literally inspiring. Just like the gearhead who spends every moment wrenching and tuning to hit that elusive 11 second quarter mile, car audio competitors put it all on the line to hit the highest dB or mind-blowing sound quality scores.

The crazy installs and ground-shaking bass must be passed on to future enthusiasts in order to ensure the scene moves on in the right direction without taking any steps back. If you’ve never been to a local sound off or audio event, I encourage you to do so as the action, passion and level of competition is a memorable experience in itself.

DON’T CALL IT A COMEBACK The trend I’ve noticed lately is the return many OG enthusiasts, as some of the pioneers and well respected tuners who helped pioneer our community are making LL Cool J-like comebacks to the scene they were once such important parts of. It seems the guidance and excitement from veteran tuners can play a vital part in stirring up the next wave of tuners anxiously waiting to explode on the scene.

Our enthusiast scene is built on diversity, as tuners from various backgrounds and cultures all share the same common automotive bond and that’s what keeps us together and ensures the longevity of our amazing community. Once an enthusiast, always an enthusiast and the love we all have for tuning is more than just a hobby, it’s a lifestyle and obsession that never dies.

As much as things change in life, some things are certain and chances are I’ll still be driving a fully custom import years from now, how about you?

he unique flavor of HIN roll ed into Chandler, AZ in all its Nightshift glory. As you know NightShift is really an amped up HIN com plete with everything you come to expect from the legendary show along with a blend of drifting, motoX and street bike stunting. And for the second straight year, NightS hift made it out to Firebird Inte rnational Raceway in Arizona to set it off for local diehard fans.

Aside for the local scene, ma ny teams made the trek from California to hold it down and try and scoop some points.

Members from TWC, Hybrid, Ar-Can and more made the trek out to the desert to rep resent. Team TWC came thro ugh proper with over 20 show car s and scooped the Team Rep resentation award they also scored Best Team Overall and Team Participation in a land slide victory for the nationw ide crew. Then many of the poin ts leaders were out in force to clinch the season. Robert Wa ng was again out with his stu nning widebody Golf and his efforts scored him Best of Sho w Radical. Then local hero Han Wong scored Best of Show Performance with his G35 twin turbo which was on the cover of PAS earlier this year. Wo ng’s car churns out over 100 0hp at the wheels and is capable of running sub-10 second pas ses in its current street trim, a complete example of show and go.

All in all there were over 250 show cars baking in the des ert heat, hungry for some trop hies.

Beyond the show cars, the NightShift highlights always include many lovely ladies.

Some of the A-listers on the scene were in attendance to keep the teens boys occupi ed, alright, every boy occupied.

The list included: Ashley Sar to, Melissa Paradise and the Gog o girls Jenny Chu and Helen Su in addition to the lovely Corrissa Furr and Ashley Wh itten representing Team Naughty NOS girls. Another refreshing face was that of Courtney Day representing Valvoline in the ir elaborate display.

Dallas Convention Center - Dallas, TX

T

he Hot Import Nights tour continues to take the country by storm, as they recently invaded the Dallas Convention Center. Proving things are always bigger in Texas, the high octane HIN atmosphere brought out an endless roster of top import models including Erin McKinnon, Tauni-Jo Collins, Jenny Chu, Chelsie Lynn, Helen Su, Jessica Barton, Paoula Garcia, Carolina Spidel, Melissa Paradise, Michelle Zen, Leigh Nguyen, Jae Angel and Naughty NOS girls Corissa Furr and Alicia Whitten.

As for the rides, it was a real Wild Weststyle shootout among the best builders and car clubs in the nation with heavyweights TWC, New Image Motorsports, Team Emotion, Europrojektz and hometown favorite Team 16Niss locked and loaded for battle. These car clubs had dedicated members flock from all over the country for this showdown, ensuring everyone in attendance got to see the hottest cars under one roof.

The competition was as tough as we’ve seen all year, but in the end TWC beat out New Image Motorsports for hottest overall team. Team participation honors went to Team 16Niss who had over 20 members post up with their clean custom rides. A number of other up and coming teams and competitors made some noise too, and much respect goes out to all of them for a job well done as we hope to see much more from them in the near future.

ROCKS STATUS Text by Dave Pankew // Photos by Josh Mackey

I

t is no mystery that as Editors, we often live the high life.

Vipers, Vettes, Porsches, Lambos, Ferraris and more can be found in our driveways when we feel like reviewing one. We’re often found rolling in cars that aren’t even on sale yet. Imagine the shock of neighbors, when we rolled up in a GT-R or Viper ACR or R8 a few months before their release. People lose their minds, girlies throw us their numbers and we’ve actually had scrubs run after us for blocks just to take a picture.

It is definitely reminiscent of the rockstar life, with some [minor] celebrity status attached to it. That aspect of the job coupled with traveling around the world to various shows makes one very jaded. Bottom line, it is hard to impress the staff here. But now we are impressed.

BODY MOVIN’

The CNC Evolution package consists of front and rear bumpers with carbon fiber diffusers and LED light strips. Both front and rear fenders are oversized with active vents for proper cooling.

The carbon fiber roof panel accents matches the CF grill insert in addition to some black chrome found on the shell.

This big body Benz stopped us dead in tracks at SEMA last year. We had never seen this kit before and maybe one or two CLs before this one. And this wasn’t just any lip kit but major surgery on a $150,000 automobile, leaving us stunned and curious to know more. After a bit of investigating, we found out this CL600 creation was the work of our old associates Jim Pan and Scott Bingham. Pan is the proprietor of P-Factor Automotive and now General Manager of Car Nutz Customz (CNC) out of Bellevue, WA owned by Bingham. At this point, Bellevue is the place to be with plenty of Microsoft millionaires and their wealthy subcontractors running the streets looking to out-do the executive in the lane beside him.

Dubbed the ‘CNC Evolution V12’ this particular build left nothing untouched. We were expecting to find some elements of the car still stock but were totally proven contrary. Pan and Bingham went to great efforts (and expense) to drop the proverbial hammer on some of the other high end marques at SEMA and did so not being a household name like the rest of them. At the core of the project are some serious Kleeman upgrades on the already potent 6.0L V12 twin turbo mill. The Kleeman package the car has been blessed with ramps up 36

the horsepower to 650 at the crank and a staggering 792lb-ft of pavement-shifting torque. The air is pulled in through CNC Evolution intakes and the resulting spent gases now flow though a less restrictive CNC Evolution dual exhausts.

Topping off the Kleeman parts are the requisite LSD and the electronic lowering module to make it dramatically sleeker than stock.

Another high point to the project was the wheel and tire package. The Zenetti wheels are as expected a one-off custom design by Bingham specifically for this project. A 3-piece forged construction, the centers are a carbon fiber overlay with a color-matched outer lip – and lots of it. The front lip measures 3.5-inches

while the rear is almost 7-inches deep. Up front, these massive wheels are 22x9.5-inches with a rear dimension that would be equally as home on a drag car at 11.5-inches. Pirelli PZero Nero tires were selected in 265/30R22 and 315/25R22 putting the almost 800lb-ft of twist to the ground.

Yet, the big Benz is still able to light up the tires with ease but the Brembos will bring the ride to a full and complete stop if things get outta hand. The front binders are 6-piston monoblocks clamping 405mm (16-inch) 2-piece rotors. To provide a bit of brake balance, rear 380mm rotors with 4-piston Brembos amount to enough brake force to stop a dump truck.

The headliner, pillars and visors have been recovered in Alacantara with the same stitching. Both upper and lower dash assemblies have been removed and recovered with the same duo-tone treatment.

On to the aesthetic treatment where CNC flexed some of their design and fabrication talents on the CL. The CNC Evolution package consists of front and rear bumpers with carbon fiber diffusers and LED light strips. Both front and rear fenders are oversized with active vents for proper cooling. The carbon fiber roof panel accents matches the CF grill insert in addition to some black chrome found on the shell. The tails are smoked and some LED courtesy lighting has been installed on the sills. The entire project was drenched in several coats of Maserati MC12 Bianco Fuji white with matching dish on the wheels. To cap it all off all off the emblems have been shaved and airbrushed by hot rod legend Michel Lavalle removing any of its previous identity.

With the windows rolled down on this true pillar-less coupe, one gets a glimpse of the upgrades made to the inside. An already finely hewn interior has made way for something that Mercedes designers would pay respect to.

Both upper and lower dash assemblies have been removed and recovered with the same duo-tone treatment. The dash features several panels replaced with titanium carbon fiber pieces and the ‘Car Nutz Customz’ logo in a conspicuous place. The steering wheel wrap is also off the same titanium carbon fiber around the rim and spokes. The accelerator, brake and dead pedal are all CNC brushed aluminum pieces to match the illuminated scuff panels. A few items round out the interior treatment with color matched deep-pile mats, Recaro Young Sport child seat and ambient LED lighting throughout.

True to Pan’s show car roots, he realizes that no build is complete without a slamming audio

install. Pan was heavily involved with putting premier car crew TWCompetition on the map since back in the day. Belting out tracks from the factory system, the signals are amped with the Zapco hardware residing in the trunk. Driving the bass-line is a Zapco DC1100.1 mono amp hooked up to a trio of Image Dynamics iDQ v3 10-inch subs. The Zapco DC1100.4 4-channel drives the Image Dynamics CD-2 HLCD drivers, and XS69 mid-bass drivers. The entire system is orchestrated through a Zapco DRC-SL controller mounted in stealth location.

Rolling through the streets of Seattle, scratch that rollin’ anywhere … CNC’s creation gets noticed. There is nothing like it but for the right price, CNC will build it. Or if you have fallen for this particular one, it is for sale. The Car Nutz Customz motto is “We Build it, we show it, we sell it.” Whether it is hot rods, resto mods, to concourse or all out crazy exotics like what have here, the CNC crew will build it.

The squarean shape also allows e installer to manag ore space better, and m er woofers will fit closler together, in a smalible space than is poss l with a conventiona round design or some reason, I have very good recollection of specific days in my childhood. One day I clearly remember was the day my mind clicked, and I finally “got” geometry. It was back in grade school, and while I don’t recall specifically how he did it, my teacher must have presented something in a way that finally brought the whole picture into focus. Bang, just like that, it all made sense.

Since then, I’ve actually enjoyed a somewhat close relationship with mathematics, geometry, and subsequently physics, in particular. On that day, I remember learning (and actually understanding for the first time) the concept of area. And I still clearly remember learning that squaring the radius of a circle and multiplying by Pi, was only one way to calculate the area of a circle. It was also on this day that I really understood how a square shape of any size will always be exactly 21.5% larger than a circle with the same diameter. We also learned that you can fit more squares than circles in any given area, because the squares can fit tightly together, thereby minimizing “wasted space”.

mtx rFL600D D” that is claimed to reduce the amount of radiated interference caused by the amps operation, and thereby reduce radio reception interference problems.

In terms of features, the RFL600D easily meets all the usual expectations. On the front edge of the amplifier, between the flush mounted power and speaker connections, reside the gain, bass boost, variable frequency subsonic filter, and crossover controls. Ready for any application, the amp has a special feature called “Smart Engage” that allows the amplified output of an OEM headunit or amplifier to be connected to the RCA inputs, and when the amplifier senses signal there, it automatically turns itself on without the need for a separate remote wire.

This turn-on is accomplished by sensing the usual DC voltage that is found on the outputs of OEM amplifiers, and therefore does not require a specific amount of volume to get the amp fired up. Of course you can turn the feature off, and use a traditional remote on wire if you prefer. Also included in the box is a wired remote level control, so you can adjust the volume of the bass from the driver seat. A couple of other nice touches, solidly mounted nickel plated panel mount style RCA’s are there for the signal connections, and on the top of the amplifier are status indicators for Power On, Thermal, and Short protection.

But one of the coolest features I found were the included “Jackstands” that quickly and securely lock into place, allowing up to 3 of the RFL series amplifiers to be stacked on top of each other, while main-

perFormAnCe/BenCH meAsurements On the test bench, the MTX amplifier met or outperformed all of its published specifications, and generally performed exceptionally well. The amplifier was obviously designed by someone who understands car audio and the challenges we face getting good and reliable sound in our vehicles. With the amp delivering over 100 watts, I ruthlessly dead shorted the outputs to test the protection circuitry, and the amp protected instantly, and then recovered when I removed the short. On the sonic side, all of the filters and bass boost controls worked precisely as specified, with very accurate frequency response curves, and the proper slopes. Signal to noise measured about average for this type of amplifier at -71dBA at 1 watt of output. Efficiency was also about average, at a bit over 75% at full 2 ohm power. My thermal testing of the amp proved the design works very well, the amplifier has similar thermal performance to competitive amplifiers that use many times the heatsink mass.

knukonceptz power wire Text and Photos by Dave MacKinnon (www.osmlabs.com)

I

have been asked over the past decade to do some ‘different’ outside-the-box type test reports . Products like portable music players, radar detectors and the like – all things that would appear to be commonplace in a car audio magazine like PAS. Recently, Bill Greenberg from KnuKon ceptz asked about a way to do a test report on the power wire they offered. I quickly formulated a testing plan and asked Bill to send up equal lengths of the power cable he wanted tested and some cab les from a few competitors.

A heavy UPS box arrived at the door of my lab, and it was game on!

concept Before I started this report, I contacted fellow PAS Tech Editor Garry Springgay. Garry was instrumental in the creation of the CEA2015 Mobile Electronics Cabling Standard. This standard describes the criteria a cable must meet to be allowed to bear the CEA marking on its jacket.

CEA-2015 is interesting reading, but certa inly not intended for consumers. What you can take away from it is faith that if a cable is sold as 4 Gauge and bears the label “4 AWG (CEA )” then you know you have the real stuff. Garry and I agreed on my testing methodology and gave me a few hints as to what to expect from the different conductor materials.

What do I mean by ‘real stuff’. It doesn’t take long for someone with any reasonable amou nt of experience in the car audio industry to realize that not all power cables sold are actually as large as they claim, even if the outside jacke t diameter appears consistent. If you look at Images 1 through 6, I have done my best to take a picture of the ends of the conductors. You can see that cables 4 and 6 clearly stand out as being smaller than the rest, and cable 2 is noticeably large r.

56

The KnuKoncept concept was to provide consumers with two cable offerings to hit spec ific price and performance goals. Cable 1 is called Kolossus Fleks Kable and is their flagship cable.

It features a very soft flexible silicone-li ke jacket and most importantly, Oxygen Free Copp er construction. Greenberg let me know that the cable is formed from 2058 strands of 36 Gauge conductors for extreme flexibility. Havin g just completed the installed of the 0 Gauge version of this cable in my friends Nissan Skyline, I can attest to its awesome flexibility.

The second conductor is called KLMX. It features a very cool pearlescent silver jacke t and is constructed of 1666 strands of 34 gauge Copper Clad Aluminum conductors. The concept with this wire was to use more strands of a less expensive conductor to offer a great balan ce of performance and cost. The KLMX cable uses a large gauge strand compared to the other cables tested. It may have less strands then the Kolossus, but by using the larger gauge strand the overall area of the conductor is incre ased I am not going to name the brands of the other four conductors in the test grou p,

ConClusion So what have we revealed in this report. There is no doubt that KnuKonceptz products offer excellent performance. Once you compare the price of their cables to some of the other common offerings, I am sure you can see just what good value they offer. Interestingly, at a retail level, cable 5 was the most expensive, coming in a close to the cost of KnuKonceptz’ 0 Gauge cable. When shopping – look for the CEA marking on your cables (only available on OFC cables at this point) or understand the cable manufacturer’s logic in offering a CCA value cable.

I

n the world of car audio there is ballin’ and then there’s BALLIN’! When it comes to MTX they wrote the book on big ballin’. Now here is a new chapter in that book, it’s called sinister ballin’ without the bling. Every year MTX rolls out with some unbelievable rides and this one is no exception. The vehicle of choice this time was a 2004 Escalade EXT and of course at the helm of this anti-bling project was none other than MTX install master Jason Planck and his trusted and talented crew of Craig Marsh and John Wilson. The install took place at Mitek’s Show Vehicle Operations Facility in Monroe, Wisconsin where countless other Mitek showpieces have been created.

First on the list of things to do was deliver the vehicle to Kreative Kustoms in Ashland City, TN where Tim Armstrong and his team would begin by completely stripping down the exterior of the vehicle. They started by shaving the roof rack, swapping out the stock grill and in its place an E&G Classics Grille was installed. Next was the addition of a Lexani body kit and rounding things off was the crazy decision to suicide the rear doors. With the modifications and additions completed the painting began, when it was all said and done the end result was a totally anti-bling custom flat charcoal with the MTX logo and graphics airbrushed on both sides and along the rear of the vehicle.

Anyone will tell you that if you roll in an Escalade it’s mandatory to be sporting some big wheels. Check that off the list thanks to a set of 24-inch Yaffa Series rollers from ZOE Wheels wrapped in 295/30 Toyo Proxes S/T rubber. The wheels were also modified so that the face of the wheel matches the body color of the EXT and the lip has a brushed satin aluminum finish.

In place of the stock suspension an adjustable air spring kit was installed giving the EXT that needed drop to compliment the big, bad 24s. Wrapping things up was the addition of a SSBC brake kit and custom made calipers with the MTX logo machined into them. Never one to leave well enough alone a Corsa Perfomance cat back exhaust system was also installed for that extra street growl when rolling down the block.

Upon its return to Monroe Wisconsin and into the hand of Planck and crew the EXT began its transformation into the ground pounder you see before you. The interior was stripped and Hushmat sound deadening was applied in preparation for the system that was in store. With the interior out it received generous amounts of attention in the form of two tone suede, leather and billet accents from the seats to dash and A-pillars.

The first thing that grabs your attention in the install is the fact that there are a total of eighteen 12-inch subwoofers where the rear seats used to be. They pretty much unloaded an entire pallet of the new MTX Thunder Square woofers (TS5512-44) into the custom built wall enclosure which is braced with additional aluminum supports. The wall along with its base is wrapped in charcoal leather and vinyl to match the exterior and interior components of the vehicle.

SHOW N’ Tell They started by shaving the roof rack, swapping out the stock grill and in its place an e&G Classics Grille was installed. Next was the addition of a lexani body kit and rounding things off was the crazy decision to suicide the rear doors. With the modifications and additions completed the painting began, when it was all said and done the end result was a totally anti-bling custom flat charcoal with the MTX logo and graphics airbrushed on both sides and along the rear of the vehicle.

On the multimedia front those duties are handled in part by a pair 20-inch SOYO flat panel screens that have been massaged into the rear suicide doors. In addition to the 20s the driver and passenger seat respectively are home to a Kenwood 7-inch LCD headrest monitor. Control of all these units is done so by a Kenwood KVT-819DVD in-dash monitor with the additional KCA-iP300V Ipod direct connect cable and KCA-BT100 Bluetooth Hands Free Adapter. Who says you can’t have you multimedia cake and eat it to.

To keep up with the ground pounding bass of all eighteen 12s they turned to the Thunder Axe component speakers. A total of two TXC5.1 5 ¼ component sets were installed in each door alongside a single TT6512-04 Thunder Thin 12-inch driver for mid bass. The ultra shallow speaker is the perfect fit considering the goal was to maintain complete functionality of the doors without compromising any space or depth of the original door. Instead of flush mounting the corresponding tweeters in each door a custom milled flat billet aluminum trim piece was created that the tweeters mount to and in turn it attaches to the door panel while also playing double duty as a grill for the mids. For added measure an additional TXC.1 tweeter was added to the front stage and found its home in the custom wrapped A-pillars with billet accents that had been mentioned previously.

Providing ample wattage supply to all this is no easy task; a total of four Thunder Elite amplifiers were called upon for this duty. The Thunder Elite amplifiers are probably the only portion of this install which display and luster and shine. A combination of a sleek piano black finish with brilliant chrome intakes makes these amplifiers a feast for the eyes. Of course it’s one thing to look good; these amplifiers have muscle to back themselves up as well. Three out of the four amplifiers are TE4001; a single amplifier for every six subwoofers. The fourth and final amplifier a TE1004 is used to power the component speakers, tweeters and the Thunder Thin woofers in the doors respectively. Looking to maximize the space available the team turned to the center console to house the amplifiers. The quartet of amplifiers where mounted into a custom made fiberglass center console tucked between the passenger and driver 64

The first thing that grabs your attention in the install is the fact that there are a total of eighteen 12-inch subwoofers where the rear seats used to be. They pretty much unloaded an entire pallet of the new MTX Thunder Square woofers (TS5512-44) into the custom built wall enclosure which is braced with additional aluminum supports. seats. The center console was painted and wrapped along with the arm rest to match the other panels and trim of the interior.

With all that power there is obviously a need for control and that is done with the help of a Precision Power DEQ-230 30 band equalizer. Making sure the signals and power are distributed accordingly is handled with the use of Streetwires product. From their Zero Noise RCA’s and Video Cables to the use of their translucent power and ground wiring.

Making sure there is constant voltage on tap is done with the help of Powermaster alternators and XS Power batteries. First thing to catch your eye when popping the hood is the trio of Powermaster 220amp alternators that were powder coated flat black to match the exterior of the vehicle. Since the EXT doesn’t come with three alternators the folks over at P&K Customs were given the task

of creating a custom bracket mount for the three new alternators. With alternators in place and ready to provide the charging power a single XS Power D2400 battery was installed under the hood for the day to day operation of the vehicle while a bank of four XS Power D3100 powerhouse batteries were installed in a custom stainless steel case mounted to the undercarriage of the bed in the rear. The combination makes sure that the Thunder Elite amplifiers have a constant supply off food.

With this much gear in the Escalade Planck figured that it’s better to be safe than sorry and opted to install a Audiovox Prestige 998 2-way alarm and remote start. Afterall you never know when someone might try and make off with this Ballin’ Anti-bling Caddy. After seeing what they did to this Escalade I’m almost afraid to ask what they have in store for their next vehicle; did someone say fourty 10s?

I never could get me asure from sp eaker output amp or at the s on speaker lead s??? Help plea Mary – via em se... ail A:Hi Mary, A rudim entary way to calculat e amplifier wattage measuring the AC RM is by S voltage developed at the load, or loudsp er. You measure the eakvoltage, and mathema tically square it, and divide the result by the then load impedance.

For example, lets sa y an amplifier deve loped 20V into a 4 ohm speaker.

20 squared = 400. No w divide by the load impedance, which in this example is 4 oh ms.

400/4 = 100. The am plifier in this examp le produced 100 wa into 4 ohms. tts I strongly suggest you use a load resistor of the same impedanc as the speaker, and e of high enough watta ge to make the measu ment. This will be mu rech less dramatic (an d potentially less co than trying to drive stly) the amp to full powe r into the speaker!

All wattage measurem ents are actually ac complished by measu ing voltage, and the rn applying this math.

This method will ge roughly “in the ballp t you ark”... which is what I assumed you need for real accuracy, the ed... but re are many variables that need to be contr and taken into cons olled ideration, such as fre quency response, ba age, etc. There are alw ttery voltays a few things to keep in mind... the sim method above assum ple es the voltage measu rement is made witho driving the amp into ut clipping, which is be st determined with an loscope, but there are oscilother ways to determi ne clipping as well. this help get you the I hope measurement you ne ed.

For all you audiophiles, USA CI has been involved with this series from its very inception back in 2005 and offers up explosive audio action among the scene’s top competitors. The USACI Outlaw SPL portion of the show is the basis of all bragging rights in car audio and proves their organization’s hardcore “breaking glass and taking names,” motto.

“I have never been an audio guy… but once these guys showed me my first exploding window, I was hooked. As crazy as I am about giving street racing a safe venue, these guys are about their sound systems... it’s all part of the automotive passion and it’s all goo d,” explains O’Neal.

The King of the Street and KOTS Bikes armdrop heads-up showdown is a new name on an old game for the Street Warriorz crew. After running a street race during the Grand Prix of Cleveland, O’Neal realized they could race outside the traditional venues.

“We don’t need a track and we definitely don’t need a timing system ,” O’Neal said.

“I had a tough time concep tualizing running on an airport runway, but finally took it back 88

to basics. Arm-drops and spotters are the only way to go now.”

Unlike most events, Street Warriorz creates their shows based on partici pants, not spectators. “The usual format of putting on a show for people to watch is quickly becoming a theory of those left in the dust… with an exciting 2009 schedule spreading from coast to coast, Street Warriorz will prove to enthusiasts and the underground scene tha t there is a show that understands. Sure, a lot of folks look at us as a circus for the undergrou nd lifestyle,” says O’Neal. “But those who trul y understand what the passion of speed, underg round motorsports and audio competition are all about will see each of these elements com e together in our series. From the ladies and music, venues and cities, sponsors and action , it’s all hand-selected to do nothing more than kee p it real.”

After getting a taste of wh at Street Warriorz has to offer, its safe to say we’re hooked and looking forward to much mo re in 2009. Be sure to visit www.streetwarriorz.c om for more on this exciting show series.

ver since I was a little kid, I have been into pretty much anything with a motor. Growing up in the middle of the Canadian prairie, I didn’t have many chances to actually see much in the way of real racing, but once a year my friend Freddy’s dad would haul a bunch of us down to Brainerd International Raceway in Minnesota to see the top NHRA guys run.

My pal Freddy and I would spend many hours in the pits, gawking at the cars and the stars of the day… people and things that we had previously only known about via the well worn pages of our tattered Hot Rod magazines. Being there in person made it all real, and totally cool, and drag racing quickly became our favorite type of motorsport for many years. Freddy and I grew up, finished school, and oddly enough both found employment in the car audio industry, but in different cities. We kept in touch, and in 1979, he built himself a drag car that his Saskatoon based shop and a few local businesses sponsored. I’d occasionally show up at the track (S.I.R.) with something that inevitably would either break or not run at all, and we’d catch up on old times. One year, I think it was 1983, on his own time, he built a demo car for his regional Kenwood rep. In lieu of payment for his craftsmanship, he asked for a year long sponsorship of his

drag car, and the rep agreed. Well, long story short, that small one-time sponsorship turned into an 8 year deal, and although the cars changed almost annually, and his racing luck changed even more frequently, Freddy always had the Kenwood logo proudly displayed on the rear quarter panel of his racecar.

Fast forward to 2008, I’m attending a local car auction, and totally accidentally I run into my old boyhood pal Freddy. We hadn’t kept in touch much since the early 90’s, and I was amazed to find out that Freddy had long since left the car audio business, went back to university, and has been working here in Arizona for a helicopter manufacturer. Even though his daily duties were now all about classified fly by wire flight control systems, he never lost the enthusiasm for drag racing, and car stereo. When Freddy found out I was still in the audio business, he invited me over to his house to look at a new project he started last year.

We met one hot June evening at Freddy’s house and in no time the years melted away, and it was like we were kids again, talking about cars, drag racing, and stereos. Freddy explained to me that he had always wanted to build a really hot street rod, and because of some smart investments and more recently, a rather large inheritance, he could now finally afford to make it happen. He took me out to his spotlessly clean shop, and there it was… well, almost anyway. The chassis and driveline sat to one side, and a full fendered all steel 1934 Ford 5 window

HeAduNit & ACCeSSORieS Because Freddy is a high tech type of guy, he wanted a headunit with built in navigation, iPod control, Bluetooth, and as he put it, “all the toys”. The Kenwood DNX7120 fit the bill perfectly. The DNX7120 is an extraordinary “everything in one” double DIN in-dash system with audio, video and navigation technologies.

Incorporating a 6.95-inch LCD touchscreen and a very intuitive GUI, it offers one-touch access to full-on Garmin navigation technology, as well as a wide variety of entertainment. Using the KCA-iP300 cable he’ll have super fast control of all his iPod audio and video files, and the KCA-BT200 Bluetooth adapter cable would 90

coupe body sat on several homemade stands beside it. This was going to be a serious hotrod, the suspension was from a 2006 Z06 ‘Vette, and the engine a GM ZZ383 crate motor with a 6-71 blower. After ogling all the cool parts for a while, Freddy told me he wanted me to help him design “a killer Kenwood system” for it. I just grinned, and I wasn’t at all surprised that after all these years, Freddy’s loyalty to the brand had never waivered.

We got into some specifics, and I learned that the car was intended to be a real driver, and Freddy and his wife Jeanne planned to take long trips in it every year to various hot rod meets and drag races all over North America. He wanted a fully modern, but completely bulletproof and easy to use system, which would pound out the tunes, sound great, and fit in the relatively tight confines of the ’34. We talked for a long time about the subwoofers and the enclosure, and he decided to build a box large enough for the woofers that would also serve as the divider between the interior and the trunk. (Freddy had decided to have a trunk instead of a more traditional “rumble seat” early on) Then we talked about exhaust noise, and road noise, and I explained to him the huge benefits of using products like Dynamat and Dynaliner. These products, when applied correctly would greatly reduce the noise in the car, as well as heat and vibration. After a couple of hours of planning, with a max budget of $4,000 to work with, we sat down and went through all the options for Freddy’s new toy.

allow wireless connectivity and hands free operation of his Blackberry while on the road. And because the DNX7120 even includes two relay control outputs, Freddy plans to use it to open and close the powered sunroof he’ll eventually install. Normally, there is no way to put a 2DIN headunit in a ’34 dash, but Freddy explained he was building a custom carbon fiber console to house it, as well as the A/C controls and some cup holders and a storage bin. The cost of the fully tricked out headunit and adapter cables would be around $1,550, making it by far the most expensive component of the system.

RX-8 REVi Intake Kit - improved performance, modest sound increase, genuine K&N Filter Element

Racing Beat exhaust systems are known for their deep, throaty sound.

Ideally suited for your daily driven car!

The speaker system we had decided on was going to be simple and really straightforward, a single pair of high performance component speakers would get mounted in custom made leather wrapped door panels, and would be totally hidden behind color matched grille cloth. The systems bottom end would come from a pair of 12-inch woofers in a custom built sealed enclosure, that would also serve as the amplifier rack. With only one pair of mid/tweets to drive, and a pair of 4 ohm subs, the obvious amp choices were the KAC-7204 and the KAC-9104D. Both of these amplifiers are compact for the power they develop, and that was important as space was at a premium inside the ’34. The mids and tweeters would get plenty of power from the KAC-7204, ($199.95) which is CEA-2006 rated at 170 watts per channel into 4 ohms. The amp also has internal crossovers, so we could provide a 50Hz high pass signal to the mids. Removing the really low frequency information

to your door speakers will improve their mechanical power handling as well as reducing distortion, which is always a good thing.

The subwoofers would be wired in parallel for a 2 ohm load, and that load would be driven by the KAC9104D. ($299.95) The fan cooled Class D mono amplifier is rated to 900 watts into 2 ohms, so it would be a perfect match for the 12-inch Kenwood woofers.

Again using the built in features like the -24dB low pass filtering and the available bass EQ at 40Hz, the big Kenwood amp could be adjusted for the best sounding crossover frequency, and EQ’d to suit Freddy’s taste.

SubwooferS KFC-W3011 - $100 USD EACH The bottom end for Freddy’s hotrod was going to come from a pair of Kenwood’s KFC-W3011 subwoofers. ($99.95ea) These ruggedly built and good looking woofers are rated to handle 400 watts continuous, and up to 1,200 watt peaks, so a pair of them on the 900 watt amp would be about perfect. Using poly cones coated with a very thin layer of stainless steel, as well as a high excursion design with a special heavy duty rubber surround, the Kenwood KFC-W3011’s are truly high performance subwoofers. The 12-inch woofers would be mounted in a sealed enclosure that would be just over 2 cubic feet, and lined with DynaXorb panels for the best possible performance.

We spent a bunch of time on the Dynamat website, and having used many of these products in my own vehicles, we decided on a variety of products for the 5 window coupe.

For the floor and firewall, we decided on Extremeliner which is a four-part composite barrier consisting of 1/8 inch layer of neoprene, 15 mils of acoustic lead barrier, 1/4 inch layer of high efficiency acoustic foam and a 3 mil urethane top facing.

Extremeliner in these areas would reduce both the noise and the heat from the engine, exhaust and driveline.

For the interior panels and the roof, we chose Dynamat Xtreme, which would do a great job of keeping the car quiet and give it that “luxury

$750 USD

car” feel. To make sure things stayed cool in the car, and that the A/C system could keep up, (this is Arizona, y’know) we also decided to add a ¼ inch thick layer of Dynaliner over top of the Extremeliner, and also on top of the regular Dynamat we’d put on the roof. By the time we included the DynaXorb subwoofer enclosure panels, we figured all the acoustic treatments would come to around $750. If you think that’s a lot of money to spend on something you’ll never see, I strongly encourage you to experience the difference this stuff makes. It can transform a noisy, resonant interior into a luxurious quiet space, and it will make your car sound better, and be more comfortable every time you drive it. It’s worth every penny, in my book.

THE VERDICT By the time the plans were done and the costs were tallied, we did manage to stay under the 4K budget, with the whole thing coming in just under $3,400 bucks, not including the ultra trick carbon-fiber subwoofer enclosure, which Freddy is already getting made for him by a friend at the helicopter plant. Freddy’s goal is to have the car built and the bugs worked out in time for next summer, and wants to take it on a trip up through Canada to the east coast and then down to Key West Florida before returning home to Arizona. But regardless of where he goes, he’ll go in style and comfort, with the Kenwood system providing navigation info, and keeping him well entertained and connected, while he enjoys the power, comfort, and performance of his own custom hot rod.

We wanted powerful but compact and effici ent amplification for our high tech system. As it turned out, we needed look no further than the digital amplifiers in the Arsenal line. Accepting the signals from the headunit would be a KS-AR800 1D and a four channel KS-AR8004D. JVC claims these are the worlds smallest ‘True Digital’ and at 10 x 2.5 x 7.25-inch they are diminutive. But in term s of power, don’t let the small size fool you, these amps will rock! Using highly efficient Class D topol ogy and PWM power supplies, utilizing MOSFET devices throughout, these thoroughly high tech ampl ifiers provide high power while minimizing curre nt draw and heat build up. With a rated output powe r of 700 watts into either 4 ohms or 2 ohms, the KSAR8001D monoblock amp is the perfect match for our 12-inch Arsenal woofer. The KS-AR800 4D four channel brings 120 watts per channel to the system, and both amplifiers provide full contr ol of the signal via built-in crossovers, subsonic filters , Bass Boost, and the monoblock amp also has a phase switch Both amplifiers are the same size, and are stackable which has become a popular optio n with many installers.

WIRING / ACCESSORIES

MetrA rAptor pKBl4 - $80 USD

No good system is complete without the proper wiring, and for that we turned to the good folks at Metra for one of their high quality Raptor brand amplifier install kits and distribution block. We chose the PKBL4 wiring kit which is rated for 2000 watts, even though the JVC amplifiers wouldn’t require as much curre nt as a conventional design, wiring is one place where it’s always a good idea to go a bit over the minimum requirements.

VerdiCt With all the high tech JVC Arsenal gear, a subwoofer enclosure, and premium wiring, we did exceed our 2K budget by a few hundred bucks, but after looking at the system long and hard, we decided we had made the right choices, and the results would be worth every penny. And really, when all the shots are fired in this Arsen al, that’s all that mattered.

PREMIUM CONFUSION S

ince the turn of the millennium a lot has transpired from the relatively uneventful ‘90s. The dot-com bubble burst, wars broke out, gas prices shot up and it seems as the decade draws to a close the economy is in for one serious reality check. Everyone and their mother dips deep into credit to live the life – often the life beyond their means.

But as I always say, you only get one ride – so why not? Saving for retirement? Not exactly in my vocabulary ‘cause like the rest of my generation and those after it, we all want it now.

Many manufacturers of luxury goods are more than happy to appease us, and have scrambled to make their products more widely available. Although they will never admit it, they lowered certain standards to make them slightly more affordable and increase their margins.

Louis Vuitton was never available at the mall, and now they are. Stalwarts of the exotic car market such as Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini (might as well add Mercedes too) have all made substantial efforts to come down market and put them in the driveways across America.

Other manufacturers such as Volkswagen and BMW shot upwards with their level of luxury, and pricetag and consumers were more than willing to part with their disposable incomes and credit lines to gather status symbols during the boom. But the boom has left a glut of sorts in the market and the supply of luxury cars far outweighs the sharp decline in demand.

How is this positive for the aftermarket? Now there are tons of hot sports cars, luxury cars and hyper exotics with suddenly lower price tags as the power brokers and bankers of the world take a mega hit to the wallet. The wealth that a few possessed is being distributed to other areas. Those in the trades, those in construction and especially the oil and gas industry are rolling in dough that would make even a decent white collar earner blush with envy. How about 100

the wealth of entrepreneurs, sole proprietorships and contract workers that do extremely well despite the bi-weekly safety net. It has created an opportunity as these cars are either dumped or put off lease for the aftermarket to tool up their operations to cater to their new owners.

So the current twist for some prudent enthusiasts that actually have some cash in hand is to hunt for bargains. They are more than willing to scoop their dream car for pennies on the dollar.

The recent owners are of a generation that is modification crazy and it is becoming more common to see JDM manufacturers or USDM tuners offering parts for say Porsche, Lamborghini and Ferrari. A Quick search on eBay finds completed listings for cars like the Gallardo and F360 dipping below $100,000! As for the 996 Turbos, they are more common than bad drivers and prices have reached as low as the 30s! We are talking monthly payments under $1000 to own some high caliber cars, ones that would stack up to over triple that new. There are lots of exotics to choose from and when the right one comes along, pounce on it.

The caveat here though is that those with no credit or bad credit better have the money in the bank. Banks won’t be too willing to part with their funds on high risk customers and

economists will tell you that very practice is what started this whole mess. The sub-prime mortgage and loan disaster has brought banks to their knees, so don’t expect them to peel you off 50 or a 100 grand without some assets, solid credit and stable income. If you have the funds to play with, the retailers will be more than willing to slash prices. They would much rather bank it all now than month after month with modest interest. Since interest rates are dramatically low, vendors leverage that to sell more. If someone comes along with cash though, they are more than willing to sacrifice some of their margins.

So many enthusiasts out there with the funds have started shopping. It seems that every week now we hear some recount of a crazy new exotic someone has scooped up on the cheap.

Then the modifications start right away on the car they previously only could dream about. If you have been prudent and done well financially during the boom, everything from cars to real estate are going to be suddenly more affordable.

Pereira is possessed with buying a Viper and myself well, I’ve been thinking 2009 might be the year where I trade in two cars and get one solid year-round kinda vehicle. Gallardos are all wheel drive no?

Some of the rare parts, like those from ASM were air shipped directly from Japan at a huge expense too. As the final items trickled in just before its debut, the car emerged from the paint shop only one week before HIN Minneapo lis. The crew scrambled to complete the car in time not only for HIN but for a local Tintmasters show . NZ customs was entrusted with prepping the body and fitting all of the parts to the car. They installed the J’s Racing Type S carbon fiber sideskirts and carbon fiber canards. The front bumper is also a J’s Racing carbon fiber piece while the rear is an INGs urethane piece. The front fenders are a Seibon 10mm over-sized and the rears are a race ASM IS Design from Japan built by Supe r AutoBACS. A Top Secret carbon fiber rear diffus er and APR mirrors are complimented by Seibo n carbon fiber: doors, trunk, hood and hardtop to comp lete the ultra lightweight theme. The paint work was done by a local shop Tri-Color which drenc hed the shell in BASF Hot Pink with Artic Ice. “My wife Sarah picked the color and I had the oppo rtunity to give her the pink car she has always want ed.”

Swartz proudly explained.

Sitting on Volk Racing wheels, the appearanc e of the car is far from girly though. A set of GT-S

gunmetal alloys sized in 18x8 and 18x9-inch es, these forged wheels are cloaked in Yoko hama Advan A048 stickies with 225/40R18 and 265/35R18 dimensions. The A048s are going to provide unreal levels of grip and even stop faster in conjunction with the upgraded Spoo ns onboard. Up front are the Spoon monoblock 4-pistons with slotted and drilled rotors.

Eliminating some of the sponge are Earl’s braided lines filled with Castrol SRF racing brake fluid.

On all four corners are some of the leadi ng coilovers on the market. A set of JIC FLT-A 2s with adjustable dampening and ride-heigh t are onboard for a major step up in handling.

The JICs

are a unique design that allow for full trave l in the tube even on the lower settings to elimi nate the bump. The sway bars are made by Swift and the anti-bumpsteer kit is manufactured by T1R. JIC supplied the strut bar and the pair lowe r arm bars to eliminate flex. To add to the stiffn ess, Swartz added a 3-pece Cusco reinforcem ent bar that was originally finished in the trade mark blue color. But Swartz powered coated all of the suspension goodies in Pink Translucent to match the exterior. The net result is one agile S200 0 with a custom undercarriage that could easily pull off the hot rod trick of slipping a mirro r under there at the show.

Fidanza now offers four different performance clutches for the Scion xA, xB and tC. Selecting a Fidanza clutch is as easy as matching the vehicle’s performance level to driver habits. Daily driven Scions with mild performance upgrades – including a cold air intake, performance exhaust and headers – will benefit from the durable and long lasting 2.1 clutch kit. Meanwhile, more serious Scion performers, like those with an engine management system, might opt for Fidanza’s 3.2 clutch – still mindful of its street manners but with Kevlar buttons for better grip and even longer life. The 4.3 clutch has ceramic buttons attached to the puck that provide quite a grip upon engagement. If you’ve invested in a supercharger and nitrous oxide system, the 4.3 clutch is the right clutch for your Scion. Fidanza’s 5.4 clutch is for only the most race-ready Scions. It has no torsion damper and no marcel and the pads are made from sintered iron to help deliver instantaneous power.

S-Max Intercoolers’ patented integrated aluminum coil design captures the chilling power of expanding CO2 or Nitrous Oxide gases right inside the core for superior cooling. Unlike spray bars, which dissipate cooling power on the surface of the intercooler, all Speed Max Performance systems cool from the inside out, chilling the entire unit. The chilling gases are purged via a hard line, away from the engine bay, leaving no risk of intake contamination. S-Max’s tube and fin design also offers superior air flow and virtually no pressure drop compared to bar and plate models, which means more overall boost. You can cool charge air at a standstill, with no ambient air flow, perfect for drag racers.

Many of today’s latest vehicles call for 0-weight motor oils and Red Line has them available for North America. Long part of its product line around the world, 0W20 (our lightest road car motor oil ever produced), 0W30 (a great product for 5W30 customers looking for the most flow at low temperatures), and 0W40 (the viscosity required

by Porsche and other German manufacturers) now give Red Line the widest selection available.

Red Line’s fully-synthetic Group V motor oils are engineered from polyol-ester base stocks to offer better fuel economy through reduced friction, much less turbo lag, and offer a thicker oil film at operating temperature than petroleum-based oil.

Longer drain intervals are a major benefit, too.

The Secret Weapon Truck Intake was designed, to increase air intake volume to the engine. The concept is to create two different air velocity profiles, one traveling at higher speeds than the other. This technology increases air volume and speed to the engine, which naturally feeds the engine 3-times more air than the conventional air intake system. The intake pipe is bent out of high quality 6061 Aluminum on our Automated CNC mandrel bender. The pipe is then high-polished to a show quality finish. The SW1 8-inch Air filter features a tuned velocity stack to increase velocity and decrease turbulence. 1 Million Mile Limited Warranty Open pore high density re-usable foam with vver 250 applications for cars, trucks and SUVs.

But all eyes we re on Foust and Gittin to det ermine who would take the final rou nd. One thing was for certain , at this point Foust had cement ed his 2008 crown to match the 2007 title already on his ma ntle.

Foust was to lead on the firs t run and was having a bit of difficulty shaking the East Coast hero. Gittin used up so much of the track that he scrapp ed some bumper while hol ding the drift and the judges gav e him style points for doing so.

The capacity crowd were losi ng their minds at this point, up on their feet screaming at full volume.

STAND 21

ST3 000 HSC SUI T

The new line of Stand21 suits are all based on their Heat Stress Control Program. The ST3000 suit which is their most popular is produced with pAIRformance material, exclusive to Stand 21. It is a stretchable and breathable material that has been of great success to many drivers worldwide. The cockpit of a race car can reach temperatures in excess of 150°F. When the body core temperature goes up, reaction time goes down.

Conventional race suits were knitted tightly together to keep fire away from the driver, but the trade off is the heat produced by the driver has nowhere to go causing the core temperature to increase. Stand 21 suits have changed the market forever allowing air to flow throughout the suit and for the sweating process to continue correctly.

“Open the three ram-aire crown vents and it feels like a jet stream of airflow over your head.” States Bill Simpson, Founder of the motorsport safety product company, Impact Racing. Open cockpit helmet designs require a special understanding of the relationship between laminar air flow and turbulence. The Eurosport works that formula to create a stable helmet platform. With the increase of interest and size of race classes such as karting, sportscar, sprint, midget and formula-type cars, the Eurosport is a match for expanding group of open cockpit racers. Although the Eurosport offers features for open cockpit race cars, the triple adjustable crown vents, chinbar vents and wide eyeport design work in any racecar cockpit. It’s an American made, American design solution for the racer who competes in several classes.

In conjunction with their sponsored Drift auto racing team, the Fulmer Companies developed the Fulmer Motorsports A1 Snell Auto Approved helmet to add to their already wide range of powersports helmets. Responding to customer requests, Fulmer is now driven to expand their collection to include more automotive offerings.

Initially only available in a replica Memphis Race Team graphic, Fulmer is pleased to announce the introduction of both a white and a flat black automotive helmet. Both new helmets sport the silver ‘M’ logo atop the crown. The Fulmer A1 helmets are the first ever to be co-branded with Fulmer’s sister company, Memphis Car Audio, and the first product of its kind that can be sold both at performance automotive retailers and through authorized Fulmer powersports dealers. Race out and get yours.

RACE SHOES

All Stand 21 boots can be personally sized and custom designed. Stand 21 boots are FIA 2000 rated, highly functional and are extremely comfortable. The GT3 RS was originally designed them for a wealthy Porsche owner in the US but they were seen by a couple of people at the Monterey Historics event. Due to popular demand, they are now in full production. Stand 21 is unlike any other race wear company in the world. They manufacture everything they sell and control product development from start to finish. Investing all of their efforts in R&D instead of marketing ans sponsorship, Stand21 knows the problems the drivers are faced with because they are trackside with the drivers at over 300 races a year. Stand 21 considers themselves driver engineers, trying to make the sport safer and more enjoyable for all involved.

kaylani lei What’s the best pra nk you ever played on someone?

Oh, there are so ma ny good ones...

Nothing too too crazy though, I guess the most recent one wa s my friend needed a shirt to borrow, so I non chalantly threw her one without her noticing it said “I Love Vagina” in big writing on the front (laughs) It isn’t some thing I’d call it a major prank, but we got a good laugh ou t of it (smiles).

I was walking on a ce ment sidewalk, I tripped and fell on my knees...not only did my hand end up in dog poop, but I scraped my knee so bad that I still have a scar (pouts).

I dont have any. Every situation is a stepping stone through the pathway of life.

Some are rocky, you may trip and fall, bu t you get right back up and step on just the smooth ones.

KAYLANI LEI What can a guy say to make you melt?

“We’re not going ou t clubbing tonight, we’re staying home and I am cooking dinner.”

What is your motto ?

I have many. I guess the one right now (on my myspace lol) is “Don’t make someone a priority wh en they make you an option” What current, past or future projects are you most excit ed about or are the most memorable for you?

Everything has been exciting and memorable. If I had to choo se one, maybe it would be when I fea ture danced in Hawaii. I had such a great time, got to go to the beach, clubbing and to a football (Pro Bowl) game. Me t the most sweetest and coolest fans.

lthough the sport compac t scene is jammed with smoki n’ hot models, every so often we come across one that simply stands out well above the rest of the beautiful crowd.

The hottie before you is the lovely Miss Corissa Furr and her girl-ne xt-door charm and sultry stare instantly ma de her PAS cover-worthy! A true trouble maker at heart, her adorable smile, bangin ’ body and down to earth attitude make her a triple threat and she knows it. After our photo shoot, we got down and dirty in our inte rview with the naughty (but nice) NOS girl .

Desribe yourself in three words.

Passionate, real and indepe ndent

Well, we’re glad you sav ed the best for last and made it onto the cover of PAS Magazine. Have you been in any strange or weird photo shoots?

Well, I did a photo shoot onc e with a 20 foot Albino Boa Constrictor. Her name was ‘Audrey Hepburn’... And she was so heavy. I had to lay on the floor with her and she wrapped herself around my whole body. At the time, I didn’t realize she could have squ eezed me to death if she wanted to...... Scary stuff! But fun!

Where might our readers have seen you before?

I have been on the front cov ers of a few other magazines (Import Tun er, D-Sport, Super Street) I have also bee n featured in The Source, FHM, Utlimate Grappling, and Lowrider Girls. I also have a lifesize poster for NOS Energy Drink - sinc e I am one of the ‘Naughty NOS Girls’ for 2008. You can come by and get an autogr aphed poster at any HIN or Nightshift event!

I have also had many other great oppotuniti es, like HIN TV interviews with Sean Kingst on, Huey and Tera Patrick... As well as modeli ng for brands like Hustler lingerie, Ed Hardy intimates and more.

I honestly have the best job ever! I love it!
