Who is Purolator? Purolator invented the oil filter and they were so kind that they offered free air filters for Farmofminds readers! I already mention this on FOM facebook page and the filters were gone in an instant!

Bad news from Best Motoring

Today came another shocking news from Japan that Best Motoring together with tuned version Hot Version is canceled! I wonder when will this wave of bad news stop. While there is a reason to be moody, set up this Rauh Welt Porsche for your desktop to chill a little!

28km of Gotland Ring!

Nordshleife will soon be the second longest race track in the world! Wait what? It looks like Swedes are crazy enough to build "multipurpose race & test circuit network expansion, total of 28 km with six major separate circuits that can be utilized simultaneously"! Moreover Gotland Ring will also have the longest modern standard race track by 2011 (7.4km).

Check out their website for time schedule:

SAVE THE RING!

If you are true petrol-head then the word Nordschleife must mean something to you, if not, it is the world longest race track as one-way, public toll-road for nearly 80 years. It appears that the Ring complex is half a billion euros in debt, "things are happening you can't imagine, its really, really strange...". So if you want to SAVE THE RING, watch Sabine Schmitz and spread the word!

New FR-S scoop

Here is new illustration from BestCar for the upcoming Toyota's highly anticipated sports coupe.

Updated TE37 wheel

This is a general announcement concerning one of our strongest model in the VOLK RACING line-up: TE37.

Our 17/18inch models will now have an updated revision on the wheel, just like our 19inch model.

Please see drawing:
Updated version will have engraved stampings:
VOLK RACING, MADE IN JAPAN, RAYS ENG., VIA/JWL, FORGED, MONOBLOCK

*ALL MODELS WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SERIAL NUMBER/PRODUCTION LOT SEAL ON THE INSIDE WHEEL.

This is another step for precaution to show the difference between the original and copy wheels.
RAYS have taken many steps for R&D to produce this wheel: everything from the mold to the raw material is special.
It is widely accepted in the real racing world, and proof that it is an actual performance function wheel.
It is very unfortunate that we see several imitations which are mistaken for the real thing.
Please make sure to purchase your products through an authorized RAD agent.

And as always, thank you for your continuous support of RAYS products and services.

Thank you,

Management
