Welcome To An Early Bird Automotive Corner!

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

Ok so before I go to bed this morning(I work 3rd shift) I was browsing around some blogs when I stumbled upon something amazing thats going to debut at SEMA this year!

What do you get when you combine a 2008 F-350 Super Duty with a shelby GT500KR?

You Get Performance West Group’s F-350 “Striker”!

This is a concept drawing of it for now…

This is badass on every level right here!! As you can see its the standard F350(that comes with a 6.4L Powerstroke Diesel) thrown in a blender with the body and paint schemes of the shelby.

The Striker is still being built. PWG says it will be painted “Striker Silver” with “Badass Blue” racing stripes running the length of the truck, from the leading edge of the front air dam to the bottom of the rear bumper cover. Hulst Customs is fabricating and installing the Striker’s custom bodywork as well.

See the rims in that drawing? Those are portrayed as 24-inch lightweight American Force forged dually wheels, mounted with low-profile Pirelli tires designed for a different kind of hauling than what Ford Super Duty’s are used to. Hauling ASS!!

Diesel guru Gale Banks is working hard to come up with ways to tweak the 350-horsepower and 650 pounds-feet of torque PowerStroke engine for optimal street performance and power.

Inside, Katzkin Leather will match the silver and blue exterior colors with custom leather surfaces and seats, equipped with four-point racing harnesses. Katzkin is the leading custom leather seat cover company for most applications, I would recommend them to anyone! The interior will also include matching floor coverings, aluminum racing pedals and auxiliary gauges and Sony is supplying the Striker’s A/V Entertainment system.

The Striker will debut this November in Las Vegas at the annual SEMA show, the largest gathering of aftermarket parts and accessories companies in the world and I cannot wait to see actual photo’s of this beast!!!!

Flytoyz fans, if any of you attend SEMA, send us your photo’s and we will post em up for you as event coverage!!

Well thats all I have for now! I seen this and was blown away, this thing will be a beast!!

Thanks for coming by! I hope you have a great monday! Ill see ya thursday on the Mod shop!!

Hello Everyone, Welcome to the Mod Shop! Spotlight: AEM Power

Thursday, September 18th, 2008

Welcome Everybody to another edition of VizX’s The Mod Shop, I Am VizX coming at you today with something thats a very very important part of your cold air intake. This product is called an air bypass valve. The Air Bypass Valve virtually eliminates the chance of hydro-lock should the filter of your AEM Cold Air intake somehow gets submerged in water. On most systems, the valve installs along the upper portion of the inlet pipe and shuts down induction at the filter when it becomes submerged, rerouting the air to keep water out and air flowing in.

You can get this bypass for your AEM Intake HERE for between $50.00 – $60.00

Well thats it for the mod shop this week! Keepin it short and sweet for you ya know. I hope you enjoyed your time! Don’t forget about getting your hands on Flytoyz decals for your ride! Spread The Word, Flytoyz is the truth!

Ill see you monday on the automotive corner!

Alittle Something For All You Car Guys/Gals out There Before The Corner Today…

Monday, August 11th, 2008

Hey everyone, this is VizX and I found this recently, and it just seems epic to me, Its a simple ford mustang burnout video but what makes it special is the slow-motion magic with Smashing Pumpkins song “The Beginning is the end is the beginning”. Im posting this today not just because I wanted too, but because I will say I found something interesting for The Automotive Corner today but there is VERY little on it for now because its so fresh!

As a car guy, this gets 5 Stars in my eyes. The owner claims its in the 10 second range as well in the 1/4 mi. Clean mustang+raised rear/lowered nose = Perfection
