I thought this song was pretty cool, drumming with scratching/mixing. RIP DJ AM.

BME STI Build Update

I thought that many of you may be interested in seeing the latest progress made on our STI. Pat has been feverishly working on the car to get it ready for once the engine is complete. The engine is ready for assembly at the Turn In Concepts shop and the turbo system is being finalized at Nameless Performance. Pat got to work on the fuel system this past weekend, installing his custom BME false floor along with mounting up many fuel goodies and the Braille Battery Kit.

Additional pictures and information on the fuel system progress can be found here.

Song of the Day

Well I guess the internet guy was asleep yesterday, sorry for missing a day. We will try our best to not miss again, Monday was a holiday for us by the way. I will post two today to make up for it. Hopefully everyone enjoyed the long weekend if you had one.

I though we would change it up a bit from the last few posts. The STI is finally making progress towards completion so I am a better mood now.

First up, some Mt. Eden Dubstep ... classic song. After that I picked Avicii, another classic track of his. This kind of stuff helps to get through the day job sometimes lol!

In honor of our pending and hopeful move from Cincinnati I though I would post something from a band I like that is from the city we are considering relocating to. We hope to be able finalize the plans soon so that we can get things with he company off the ground and running at full speed.

In the mean time we have a long weekend and work will continue on the STI. The goal is to have the car ready to accept the engine and be ready to run wiring and fuel lines by the end of the weekend.

 The band for today's song is Chevelle, the video is of their performance in they home town at the Metro in Chicago.

Song of the Day


So... It has been a busy couple of days! I have been traveling for the day job, and am now back at the airport. Got to hang out with Pat for a few hours last night, and discuss more about BME which is always good. I'm not headed back to Greenville, SC for the long weekend. The fiance is flying out tonight from Chicago, it's always nice to get to spend time with her.

The band for today's song is a side project of Daryl Palumbo; better known for Head Automatica and Glassjaw. While the project never really materialized into its full potential, I think that this song is really cool. It mixes the hardness of Glassjaw with the smooth beats of a club mix, or style of Head Automatica. I hope you enjoy!

A Long 6 Months

It has been a long 6 months but a large step in completing the STI build has occurred. Exactly 6 months to the day (not even planned) from when the STI first went up in the air and the project began the car was finally put back on the ground. The suspension setup that we will be running for this phase of the build is finally completed and fully installed. The full list of suspension and drivetrain components we are using can be found on the "Team Cars" page.

We would like to thank the following sponsors who helped us with the suspension and drivetrain package:





Sorry about the mess and dont mind the old wheels, they are temporary, but here it is back on dry land where it belongs.Obviously the final ride height will be set once the engine is in and it will be taken to TiC for the corner balance and alignment.



Today we picked up some parts from the water jet that we will be installing soon. We can now move forward with the fuel setup and interior of the car. The engine is waiting on the crank to come in from Subaru and once it does it should go together quickly. The turbo has also finally arrived and is at Nameless Performance being used to fabricate our intercooler and exhaust.

We think that progress will pick up quickly and we can get moving now that we have worked out all the problems that we ran into so please check back regularly for updates!

Sorry about the late post today, but it has been a busy day getting caught up on some work on the STI now that we have parts finally coming off back order. Mark was also traveling for the day job so he has not had computer access. We couldn't miss a day though so here is a little taste of what we have playing as were working on the cars ... classic Killswitch.

Song of the Day

This is a song by one of the bands that played at the Thrice concert on Saturday (yes, it was effing awesome!). The band is made up of two 8-string guitarists and a drummer. The level of complexity is unreal, and it was really cool to see them play live. Their execution was flawless, and the amount of notes that are played in each song is insane.
