Ings has come out with a new body kit for the Honda Fit. The kit doesn’t make the car look too aggressive, just that nice clean look. We like it and with monthly payments of around $200 for a new Fit; you can definitely afford to buy this kit.

SAN DIEGO, CA. For over a decade, drifting fans worldwide have awed and groveled over a particular Drift Machine on the D1 circuit. The machine with red paint and gold wheels that graced racetracks all over the world will soon retire from the sport of drifting. Takahiro Ueno’s Vertex Soarer, will burn its last set of tires following the final round of the D1GP Japan October 2008. According to Pete Ulatan (Marketing Executive, Vertex USA), “It’s with great sadness to see an invaluable icon in the sport of drifting say goodbye. It will be indeed the end of an era and a beginning of a new one.”

Vertex USA (www.vertex-usa.com) is proud to announce with the exit of the Vertex Soarer, Takahiro Ueno will continue drifting in a new platform set to turn the drifting world on its head. Dat Nguyen (Vertex USA President) states, “Takahiro will return to the circuit with a platform you will least expect. It will be a BMW 335i Coupe with a Toyota 2JZ-GTE Implant” Currently’ Suivax/T&E Japan is diligently preparing Mr. Ueno’s new 335i for the 2009 season.

“We can’t wait for the debut. It will expose T&E and the Vertex brand to a whole new demographic and bring freshness to the sport of drifting”, stated Ulatan.

Bosch Spark Plugs a sponsor for Jr’s Ford/Falken mustang in Formula D. pulled some strings and filmed a commercial where Gittin drifts the corner of 3rd st and Grand in Downtown LA. We can’t wait to see the piece.

Just saw a post over on GT Channel that Trust filed for bankruptcy in Japan. The company operates under the Greddy brand here in the US is reportedly $60M USD in debt. Yikes! What does this mean to the average consumer? Probably nothing; so far no plans have been announced whether or how the company will be restructuring. In the meantime, it’s probably just business as usual. It sucks to see one of the old guards that jump started the import industry here in the US fall. However, in the current global economy, this is not really that much of a shock.
