Product Spotlight - Tein USA
Majority of the time when you see a lowered ride, many times you see a green decal on a window or body panel that reads "Tein" (unless you see the green damper dude.....). These suspension products have proven themselves to be quality products and give a qualtiy ride whether riding on their springs or coilovers.
Here is a vague look into a few of the many products Tein offers.
It is always recommended to upgrade your shocks when installing lowering springs, but a lot of times this may not be necessary for awhile on Tein H-Techs (High Tech). Tein S-techs (Style Tech) on the other hand lower the vehicle much lower than H-techs therefore needing the shock upgrade much sooner.
The main street coilovers Tein offers go from their Tein Basics kit all the way to their SS-P (Super Street with Pillowball mounts) kit. Tein basics are great for the street and occassional race tuner, giving the height adjustability while greatly reducing body roll but not in a way that normal driving is annoyingly bouncy. On the top end you have their SS-P kit which has height adjustability, along with dampening adjustments. Only thing missing from this kit is camber adjustment but one toy that makes up for it is Tein's EDFC (Electronic Dampening Force Module) module. This EDFC can be installed on the SS-P kit and basically allows the user to adjust the dampening force from inside the cabin.
You can find Scion, Toyota, and Lexus Tein products on our site - www.noicsgarage.com
For more information on Tein products you can check their site too - www.tein.com
Background on Tein:
TEIN was born in rally. TEIN's technological advancements go hand in hand with motorsports activities. Motorsports is crucial for TEIN to elevate its engineering and to refine its ideal suspension. TEIN embodies the famous "Laboratory on Wheels". Utmost technology comes from the competition fields where winning requires competing for every tenth of a second. All the valuable data obtained from competitions are refined and poured into all TEIN products built for the street.
TEIN keeps challenging to competitions held all over the world. There are races that compete for one thousandth of a second, have big jumps at 170km/h and/or run on extremely cold icy road or on scorching hot desert. Technology and know-how cultivated in worldwide competitions under such severe conditions is poured into each and every TEIN shock absorber. Superior performance and superior quality for your shock absorbers. TEIN keeps evolving, forever and ever.

Nov/Dec Ride of the Month
The Mazda RX-7, loved/wanted by many, but owned by few. Known for its sporty styling, rear wheel drive layout it is one of the vehicles Mazda will always be known for. How about the Toyota 'JZ' motor, most known for its Hp capabilities, and its characteristic of being just about "bulletproof." Now why not take both and combine them, making a 1JZ powered RX-7, which this combination makes it as our first ever ride of the month.
We met up with owner Alain Otero at the recent Mazda meet to check out his 1989 Icy Red Pearl FC RX-7 and here is a quick low down:
Engine:
1JZ-GTE
GReddy Twin 18g Turbo Kit
264 HKS cams

10.10.10 SoFla Bimmer Meet
When Pauly D mentions "the shirt before the shirt," people may laugh and think its a retarded phrase. On the contrary when you basically have "a meet BEFORE the meet," you know you are about to attend another great Florida Bimmer event.
With over 180 BMW vehicles attending, and a lonely GT3RS, the parking lot was full and then some. It was an amazing turnout and meet to say the least between catered food, mobile dyno runs, and raffle prizes including full sets of wheels. The guys at Florida Bimmer aim to bring the BMW game back to the southeast and looks like they are definitely on the right track.
Here are a few pics, the full album should be on our site noicsgarage.com/gallery very soon!

BMW SoFlo Meet
Damn, we haven't been to a big car meet in awhile. So when e90post.com and soflobmw.com started posting about a BMW meet up in our area, we thought it would be a good idea to go and check out our first BMW meet.
Time was set for 11-4pm at Matheson Hammock Park, interestingly enough when we show up at 11am there are cars already parked and getting cleaned. Luckily the big time modded Bimmers hadn't shown up yet so our stock e90 didn't look too out of place....yet. As some time passes the waves of caravans roll in and get situated. The SLRs are beeping and snapping, as friends reunite and check out everyones rides. More and more cars keep showing up and the parking lot of the park keeps getting more and more lively.
Needless to say it was a great turnout, one of the biggest turnouts we have seen for just a car meet in awhile now. Best part about it....not one burnout....no excessive revving (you could heard the occasional BOV).....nobody talking trash or starting fights. Basically what a car meet is all about, hanging out with friends, meeting new people, checking out the personal rides and having an overall great time. In the end a stock height e90 DID stick out almost being the 4x4 of the group, but its not about what mods you have, more of the love for the scene.....
