Saab Aero-S Super Sports Car Concept

What if...Saab made a return and introduced this masterpiece of a supercar? If Saab made a return, it would only be a matter of time before they dabbled back to the drawing board of the Aero-X concept and made an Aero-S supercar coupe. Equipped with an aircraft inspired motor, that would produce insane numbers with a manumatic transmission and all wheel drive with the primary power being pushed to the rear wheels. Also, goign back to their well known market of aviation, it would be designed with a aerodynamic style to make sure it is planted to the ground; and having not one but two retractable spoilers that raise and lower according to the downforce needed for the rear with active aerodynamics in the front for those wheels as well.

BUYER'S MEMO

Market price rises due to popularity of drifting

Due to the popularity of drifting and the so-called "oni camp", the used car market price for the A31 Cefiro, which has become popular as a base car with such specifications, seems to have gone up. Of these, the most popular is the twin-cam turbo sports cruising model. As far as this grade is concerned, 1.2 million yen is still a ridiculous amount. Additionally, unfortunately, there are fewer cars in normal state.

The Autech version, which is the vehicle we photographed this time, is produced in extremely low numbers, so even if you can find a good one, it will definitely be quite expensive.

PIC CAPTIONS

By adding a large turbine to the RB20DET and changing the cam and port shapes, it produces 225PS, an increase of 20PS.

The genuine leather-wrapped steering wheel that fits comfortably in your hand is made by Italvolante, Italy. This is also an equipment exclusive to Autech.

Aluminum wheels made by PIAA exclusively for the Autech version Cefiro

The size is 6JJ x 15, which is the same as the normal one.

Autech version exclusive emblems attached to the left and right sides of the front fender.

Carefully tanned Connolly leather

The seat is fully equipped with adjustment mechanisms such as dual lifters and lumbar support.

Exclusive seat and door trim made from genuine leather made by British company Connolly, which has a luxurious feel and has been used on many famous European cars and luxury cruise ships.

A trunk with a mechanism that turns into a tray and armrest when folded down. Also trunk hood

A special rear spoiler is installed.

The same rear multi-link suspension as the Silvia is made up of multiple links and ideally controls tire movement according to road conditions. The basic movements of running, turning, and stopping exhibit extremely high levels of grip.

Demonstrate your ability to move.

Early type sports touring. After MC in 1992, all cars were 2.5 liters with 3 number plates.

Since the Autech version was also slightly changed after the first MC, there are two types: an early type and a mid-term type.

Our Standard Neo Historic Jays

Anti-high-soccer cars that bring a new sensation

Cefiro is a car that is often seen in towns and mountain passes with a strong negative camber and is considered to be a representative example of a demon-camber spec car. Nowadays, we have a strong image of such a drift machine, but when it was first announced, it had a very different impression. Under the catchphrase ``Kuneru Asobu,'' the product was sold with a strong personality and a unique coordination system that appealed to the new sensibilities of urban comfort enthusiasts. Eventually, as this new sensation wore off, another side began to attract attention. Well-made suspension with multi-link + HICAS-II, high-power engine, and FR...

Text: Yoshio Ishikawa Photography: Hiroyuki Matsuoka Vehicle cooperation: Kenichiro Takashima

A new sensation sedan introduced during the Mark II's heyday.

Today's sedans are said to be ``sluggish'' due to being pushed around by buskers and the like, but 10 years ago it was often said that sedans were enjoying the spring of the world in the mid to late 1980s. I was in a situation where I was.

Among these, the upper middle class has seen particularly rapid growth. This must have been an expression of the consciousness that all 100 million people are middle class. Under the name High Society, the popularity of the white Mark II continues to grow.

He was showing great strength.

It has a sense of class that will make you look good wherever you go, and the equipment is full of Toyota's hospitality. Armed with this feeling of ``I can feel safe with this,'' the Mark II is my father's favorite. It received a lot of support not only from users of different generations, but also from young male users who wanted to be popular with girls. No. 2 Nissan was the one most anxious about the Mark II's dominance. The R31, which debuted in 1985, shifted the Skyline, which had gained a fixed fan base due to its sports orientation, to a luxury route. We carried out major reforms.

However, this makeover ended up being a failure.

Waru. Therefore, Nissan came up with the next step, which was to create a clear model compared to the Mark II/Chaser/Cresta, which differed only in design taste.

The method was to pit three cars with different personalities against each other. The first stage of this was its debut in September 1988.

This is the first generation Cefiro that was visible. Incidentally, Nissan would later launch the Laurel in December and the R32 Skyline in May of the following year, completing the upper middle three-car alliance.

What is difficult here is the character of each car.

That's it. As for the existing models Skyline and Laurel, the former is a return to and evolution of a sports saloon, while the latter is a re-proposal of the luxury sedan model with a slightly defective essence sprinkled on it. The problem is the new model Cefiro, which is a new model whose core users are relatively young people in their early 30s.

It was positioned as a sensational sedan.

The focus is on style and packaging.

What's new about Cefiro?

Multi-link suspension adopted at the rear,

DUETIS S with integrated control of supersonic suspension and electronically controlled power steering, HICAS-II 4WS with maximum turning angle of 1 degree.

The focus is on style and packaging.

What's new about Cefiro?

Multi-link suspension adopted at the rear,

DUET-S S with integrated control of supersonic suspension and electronically controlled power steering, refinement of HICAS-II 4WS mechanism with maximum turning angle of 1 degree. There were many points of interest in terms of mechanics, such as the straight-six RB engine that achieved sharp response due to its improved performance but what stood out most of all were the styling and packaging. Although it was a sedan, its rounded design, which resembled a monoform rather than a three-box design, was innovative and seemed to be a direct commercialization of the direction Nissan had proposed at the motor show with its concept cars CUE-X and ARC-X. The basic packaging is long and low nose/short and high deck, which is typical of European cars, but what was new about Cefiro was that it didn't emphasize this too much and unified the whole car with a softer image.

Details such as projector headlamps being adopted as standard for the first time, this collection of lights, and rear combination lamps placed in continuous black garnishes on the left and right sides emphasize a new sense of style. In any case, the Cefiro had an exterior that made you think, ``Wow, this is a sedan with a shape that has never been seen before.''

Also, the grade is “Cefiro Coordination "

He developed a unique method called "coordination." All engines are 2-liter inline 6-cylinder, but cars equipped with SOHC RB20E are used for town riding, cars equipped with DOHC RB20DE are used for touring, and DOHC+ turbo RB20DET specifications are used for sports driving.

Three types are available under the name Lusing. There are two types of suspension: DUET-S S is comfort and HICAS-II is sports. Additionally, three interior styles are available: dandy, elegant, and modern, and you can choose any combination of these.

It had become a system.

9 body colors and 2 types interior

If you include the interior base colors that have been set, there are over 900 combinations, which is amazing. The Cefiro Coordination, a ready-made choice system, is said to be a great weapon for people in their 30s who are particular about comfort in their lives and are particular about food, clothing, and housing.

The production team must have calculated this.

Yosui Inoue's TV commercial ``How are you all?'' and the catchphrase ``Kuneru Asobu,'' which seems obvious but is not very clear, also helped to attract attention, and Cefiro quickly became a popular model immediately after it's appearance. The Cefiro was certainly groundbreaking at the time, offering a new design and the natural beauty of its styling as the antithesis of the upwardly mobile, high-speed car line . However, because its freshness was its selling point, there was a strong tendency for it to become a trendy product, and although at one point the three-car alliance was steadily increasing the number of units sold, it gradually became less popular.

Cefiro slows down. In 1992 in addition to widening the body with moldings and installing a 2.5L engine, minor changes were made to the the design in the direction of diluting its characteristics, and although it ended up being a car with a long lifespan of 6 years, it fell into a rather obscure state in its final years.

The second generation, which appeared in 1994, was integrated with the Maxima and transformed into a full-fledged three-number FF saloon.

Although it lacks the strong individuality and new proposals of the first generation, it continues to exist today as a popular model that maintains the basics.

However, the interesting thing about the first-generation Cefiro is that in recent years it has suddenly come into the spotlight as a handling machine for the mountain passers. Touring manual transmissions, which were an overwhelming minority at the time, fetched unusually high prices, and people finally replaced ATs with manual transmissions.

It even created a movement to convert. The most important factor behind its popularity is the affordable price of a used car, but I think that behind its popularity is the freshness and youthfulness that the original Cefiro still has.

It is analyzed that the effect is small.

A sporty saloon where you can seriously enjoy FR

Now, it's been a long time since I've faced Cefiro.

faced. Secretly “oni campaign”

I was scared that someone would come.

However, the test car was the Autech version that was released in January 1990. This is a special Cefiro based on the sports cruising model of RB20DET+HICAS-II, which has a +20PS power increase using a ball bearing turbo, harder suspension, full aero parts, and a Connolly leather seat.

The price is nearly 800,000 yen higher than the normal model, which is why the initial monthly sales target was 30 of them, so how rare is this model?

I know it's Del.

I have no recollection of test driving this Autech version when it was new, so this will be my first experience. Compared to normal sports cruising, the engine power is clearly superior, and although it seems that the effective boost rises at a slightly higher rpm, it is truly powerful from around 350O rpm to the rev limit of 7500 rpm. This time it was an AT specification, and this one is also set to take advantage of the engine's characteristics to pull the car to its limit. As you might expect, the shift shock is quite large, and if you drive like this all the time, the load on the AT will be considerable.

I'm worried that this will happen, but anyway...

The speed of a modern 2-liter sports sedan

There is no big difference when compared to.

As a high power FR with great driving abilityit is quite stable. So that's why you can attack to the fullest.

Drift machine with demon camp specifications

This image may make the Cefiro seem frivolous, but the true nature of this car is that it is a sporty FR saloon that was built with great seriousness. Therefore, I seriously want to master the movement of FR without making any strange modifications.

This is the perfect machine for those who

want do this.

Brynjolf being a lieutenant for the Thieves Guild was the best worst-kept secret in Riften. A handful of the city’s wealthiest and most influential citizens knew all about his identity, as did its poorest and most unscrupulous inhabitants. Yet as far as Jarl Laila Law-Giver was concerned, he was just another merchant plying his trade in the city marketplace, and most everyday citizens thought he was nothing more than a peddler of, charitably, eccentric wares. 

This dichotomy was perfectly illustrated by the members of the town guard, half of whom were on his payroll and half of whom had no idea who he was. 

Of course, with their helmets obscuring their faces and muffling their voices, it was difficult to tell at a glance which guards were in on Brynjolf’s various schemes around town, so he had to keep a tight lid on communications.

“I didn’t know you lads could shop while on duty,” Brynjolf remarked casually to a guard who approached his stand in the market. 

The guard paused, and Brynjolf waited. Either the man would ignore him, bristle about being told how to behave by a citizen, or…

“If there’s a guards’ discount, I could be persuaded to buy,” he replied, and Brynjolf smiled. 

“Aye, it so happens there is,” he said, reaching beneath his counter to pull out a bottle. 

The guard dropped ten septims into Brynjolf’s hand, and Brynjolf passed the bottle to him. 

On the outside, the bottle was identical to all the others that Brynjolf sold. On the inside though, it was anything but. A rolled up scrap of paper was stuffed into the neck, and the guard would take it out later to find his instructions for the week scrawled on one side and a dead drop location that contained his next payment on the other. 

Brynjolf didn’t put too much stock in the other guards’ investigation skills, especially with Maven’s agent Anuriel keeping the other palace officials from spending any serious time hunting down the Guild, but it never hurt to be careful. Anuriel couldn’t be everywhere at once, and the last thing anybody needed was some rookie guard trying to prove himself and ratting on his fellow officers. 

Brynjolf passed instructions to two more guards throughout the rest of the afternoon, and sold a half dozen or so elixirs while he was at it. When the sun began to dip behind the roof of Mistveil Keep, he packed up his stall for the day and took the opportunity to visit some of the other local establishments. 

He dropped by the Pawned Prawn first, smirking when he saw the cracks in the Dwarven urn on display by the window. Once his business there was concluded he took a “delivery” to Haelga’s Bunkhouse. To an outside observer, he appeared to simply be doing regular errands at the end of the work day, but Bersi and Haelga were perfectly aware of his intentions. They each handed over that month’s protection money without a word of complaint, though if looks could kill, he’d be bleeding out on the bunkhouse floor.

Still, he couldn’t help but smile as he stepped back out into the cool evening air. A part of him had been worried that their newfound cooperation would be temporary, but for now at least, everything was back on track. And if they did ever lax in their payments again, he knew just who to send their way. 

Brynjolf rounded the corner of the Bee and Barb and there, standing at the edge of the market as though summoned by his thoughts, was Ariene. 

She’d traded her usual attire of Guild Armor and a quiver full of arrows for a short-sleeved blue dress and a belt lined with leather pouches. She’d even let some of her hair down from its ponytail, and she looked for all the world like any other townsperson running their errands for the day. She didn’t look quite like herself without her bow over her shoulder, but her orcish dagger still hung on her belt, the hilt of the weapon glinting in the last few rays of sunset.

She had a notebook in her hand and was talking to Marise, nodding and scribbling down something in response to what the dark elf said. She closed the book and slipped it into the pocket of her dress, then caught Brynjolf’s eye as she looked up. She smiled, bid Marise farewell and headed down the walkway towards him. 

“Fancy meeting you here, lass,” Brynjolf said as she approached. “I must say, you make a very convincing citizen.” 

Ariene looked down at herself, as though scrutinizing her own attire. 

“Do I? I admit, I’m not the most familiar with Skyrim’s fashion. It’s not too much, is it?” 

 Brynjolf tried to look at her as though she were a stranger to him, another mark out of dozens to be carefully scrutinized. 

The dress she wore wasn’t particularly ornate, but it was far from the plainest garment he’d seen the women of Riften wear. Delicate embroidery lined the dress’s hem, collar, and sleeve cuffs, telling Brynjolf that the wearer was someone who could afford more than simple necessities. However, the boots paired with the dress were well worn and caked in a layer of dirt and grime, she wore no jewelry, and her hairstyle was something she could accomplish easily on her own, without the help of a maid. All this told him that this was not a rich or noble woman in her day or travel ware, but a commoner wearing what was probably her best dress to market. 

Of course, Brynjolf had a pretty good idea of how much money Ariene had made with the Guild over the past month or so, and knew that she could have afforded even nicer clothing if she wished to have it. The fact that she wasn’t wearing more expensive clothes or her Guild armor told him that she wanted to be discreet, to blend into the crowd and not draw attention to herself. 

“It’s perfect,” Brynjolf said, nodding in approval. “Blue is your color, lass. Brings out your eyes.”  

Ariene’s cheeks flushed slightly, and Brynjolf grinned. 

“So,” he said. “What brings you out to the market at this hour? Most of the stalls are getting closed up for the evening.” 

“Actually, I was looking for you,” she said. “I thought we might have a drink at the Bee and Barb.” 

“A drink, eh?” Brynjolf repeated, raising an eyebrow playfully. “We could have a drink in the Flagon.”

“True,” Ariene acknowledged. She glanced around, then took a step closer.  “But I thought it’d be nice to have a little…privacy.” 

“Well then lass, by all means–” 

“Stop! Thief!”  

The marketplace exploded into pandemonium. Vendors shouted, shoppers screamed, and guards materialized seemingly out of nowhere, swarming towards the commotion like moths to a flame. Ariene had spun around to see where the shout had come from, and so she and Brynjolf both saw the exact moment that a figure wearing Guild armor burst into the center of the market, a guard hot on their heels. 

“Stop him!” the guard shouted again. 

The thief had a sword drawn, and Brynjolf’s stomach dropped when he realized that there was blood on the tip of the blade. Guards all around them drew their own weapons, and even as the thief raised his sword, Brynjolf knew it was over.

He glanced at Ariene, just in time to see her hand drift towards her dagger, but he caught her by the wrist. She looked up at him, frowning, but he just gave a small shake of his head. He didn’t need to speak. Looking back towards the fray, she knew as well as he did that there was nothing they could do. 

As soon as it had begun, the chaos was over, and guards were directing people away from the scene. Brynjolf took a breath and forced himself forward, Ariene falling into step behind him without a word. 

“Let me see him,” he said to the guard who tried to stop him as he stepped forward. He watched the man closely for a reaction to his presence, but there was no recognition in his posture. 

“We have this under control sir, please move along,” the guard said. 

“My father’s amulet was stolen last night,” Brynjolf insisted, the lie falling easily from his tongue. “At least let me see if it’s on the scoundrel.” 

The guard hesitated, but then he nodded and stepped back, allowing Brynjolf to kneel beside the dead man. He did his best to ignore the blood already pooling beneath the body and made a show of checking the man’s pockets, while discreetly checking under his hood as well. He caught sight of a pointed nose and a scraggly beard, and he bit back the sigh that welled in his chest. 

“Damn,” he said, getting to his feet. “The bastard doesn’t have it. This city is getting ridiculous, I tell you. Thieves in broad daylight now? Why can’t you lot do your jobs properly?”

“We have things handled here, sir,” the guard said, barely hiding his frustration. “You can move along now.”

“Come on dear,” Ariene said, pitching her voice a little higher than normal and tugging on Brynjolf’s arm. “We should go.”

“I have half a mind to complain to the jarl,” he called over his shoulder as he and Ariene walked away. 

“Very good, sir,” the guard said tiredly, and Brynjolf would have chuckled had the circumstances not been so grim. 

He tilted his head in the direction of the Temple of Mara, and Ariene nodded silently. They headed through the temple courtyard into the cemetery, ducking into the mausoleum when they were sure no one was there to see them. Brynjolf paused in front of the stone coffin, letting the haughtiness drop from his posture.

“Who was it?” Ariene asked quietly, and Brynjolf sighed. 

“No one that you know, lass. His name was Girrolf.”  

“Girrolf?” she repeated, and he nodded.

“Technically he’s not even one of us, not anymore. He was a new recruit a while back, before you joined up. He got caught on his first job and was sent to prison in Falkreath. Mercer didn’t think he was worth the risk to break out.” 

“So what, he broke out on his own?” Ariene asked, but Brynjolf shook his head. 

“I doubt it. The lad didn’t have that kind of skill. To be honest, he wasn’t as well suited to our line of work as he thought he was, but I’d hoped with some training, he’d improve.” 

Mercer had not shared that opinion, and Brynjolf had endured weeks of not so subtle digs about his recruiting tactics once Girrolf had ended up in jail. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

“If I had to guess, the lad’s sentence was up and he was released. He must have thought that if he came back to us with a good haul, he’d be brought back into the fold.” 

“But he got caught again,” Ariene mused. “And instead of running, he tried to fight his way out.” 

“Which is a surefire way to just create more trouble,” Brynjolf said. He raised an eyebrow at her. “Something I’d have thought you’d know, lass.” 

Ariene folded her arms, raising her own eyebrow right back. 

“You didn’t need to hold me back, you know,” she said. “My brain would have caught up with my body before I did something drastic. It was just…” she trailed off, a thoughtful expression crossing her face. 

“Just what?” Brynjolf prompted. 

“Instinct.” She shook her head. “And look, I did know better than to get involved back there. In my father’s crew, if someone ever had any trouble with the guard, it was their problem and their problem alone. Why risk your entire organization over one fool who can’t even handle a minor scuffle with the law?”

“It sounds like your father and Mercer would get along,” Brynjolf observed, and Ariene chuckled ruefully. 

“You’re probably right. Gods know they’ve both got a mean streak, not to mention an ego that could fill a room.” 

She fell silent, but the thoughtful expression didn’t leave her face, and Brynjolf decided to press his luck. 

“What’s bothering you, lass?” he asked softly.

“It’s just…my father’s rule didn’t always stop people from jumping to their friends’ defense if things got ugly. For some, personal loyalty ran deeper than any adherence to my father’s rules.” 

Brynjolf nodded, eventually prompting her to continue with a quiet “And?” 

“And…I was never one of those people,” Ariene said, her voice uncharacteristically soft. “Every man for himself; it was the one rule my father had that I didn’t have trouble following. Even after I got away from him, I just…lived my life like that. Looking out for myself and only myself, and running whenever the heat got to be too much.”

Brynjolf thought back to that day he’d confronted her in the training room, to the distant look in her eyes and the slump in her shoulders when she’d said: 

“It seems no matter where I run to, I find something else to add to the long list of things I’m running from.” 

“But back there?” Ariene said, pulling him back to the present. “I didn’t even know who it was, but I saw the Guild armor, and my instinct was to draw my blade.” She pulled her dagger out of its sheath, looking down at it curiously. “I don’t even have my bow with me, but my first thought was to fight, not run.”  

“I wanted to fight too, you know,” Brynjolf said quietly. “Every part of me wanted to rush into the fray and pull that fool out. Despite Mercer’s cold streak, we try to have each other’s backs whenever we can.” 

“I know,” Ariene said. “And I know why tonight, we couldn’t. It’s just…never mind.” She shook herself, and gave him what was probably meant to be a smile, though it came out more like a grimace. “Let’s go downstairs. Probably best to let everyone know what happened.”

Brynjolf nodded.

“It’s not a good night to be hitting the streets wearing Guild armor, that’s for sure.” 

He activated the secret entrance, then stepped back to let Ariene descend the ladder first. He followed her down, and his boots barely touched the stone below before an angry and all too familiar voice rang out across the room. 

“There you are!” 

Brynjolf turned to see Mercer stalking towards him, a look of death in his eyes. 

“Mercer,” he said. “Something happened–” 

“We have a lead on the Goldenglow buyer.” 

Brynjolf immediately straightened, pushing what happened in the market aside in his mind for later. 

“Someone identified the symbol?” he asked. 

“No,” Mercer growled, clearly put out by the failure. “But the contact I spoke with did identify something else. The name on the Goldenglow bill of sale, Gajul-Lei? It’s one of Gulum-Ei’s old aliases.” 

Brynjolf’s eyes widened. 

“Gulum-Ei’s mixed up in all this? That Argonian couldn't find his tail with both hands.” 

“Who’s Gulum-Ei?” Ariene asked, and Brynjolf jumped. The lass had been so still that he hadn’t realized she was still in the entryway. 

“Gulum-Ei is our inside man at the East Empire Company in Solitude,” Mercer explained. “I'm betting he acted as a go-between for the sale of Goldenglow Estate and that he can finger our buyer. I want you to get out there, shake him down and see what you come up with.” 

Ariene frowned.

“Just so we’re clear, you’re asking me to do that?” she said. 

“Who else would I be asking?” Mercer snapped. “You leave tonight. I’ve already arranged a wagon for you; it’s waiting at the stables.” 

He turned and stalked away without another word, and Ariene glanced back at Brynjolf.

“He’s in a good mood,” she muttered. 

“Just this once, I can’t blame him,” Brynjolf admitted. “We’ve been trying to get a lead on this for weeks.” 

“Well, I guess I need to pack a bag,” she said with a sigh.

She flashed him a small smile, then she turned and headed off towards the Ragged Flagon. Brynjolf watched her go for a moment, then turned his attention back to the matter at hand. 

“Mercer,” he called, stepping up to the Guildmaster’s desk. 

Mercer looked up at him as he approached, and his frown deepened into an outright scowl. 

“I won’t have my methods questioned, Brynjolf. You were the one who was so determined to convince me that the girl would be a good investment; now that she’s proven her worth I see no reason not to make use of her skills. Besides, she’s already tangled up in this mess. She may as well be the one to dig us out.”

Brynjolf blinked. 

“Eh, I actually wanted to give you a report on something that happened in the market tonight,” he said, folding his arms. “I’ve got no problem with you giving the lass the assignment.” 

Not strictly a lie; he was glad that Mercer seemed to finally consider Ariene a trustworthy operative. The insistence that she leave immediately when it could take anywhere between three days to a whole week just to get to Solitude was frustrating, and in his mind, a bit unnecessary. But Mercer was in one of his moods, so the last thing Brynjolf wanted to do was point that out to him and start another argument.

Mercer grunted, but didn’t say anything else, gesturing instead for Brynjolf to continue. 

“There was an…incident,” he began, then he went on to describe Girrolf’s failed attempt at burglary and subsequent death. 

“You’re supposed to have the guards under control, Brynjolf,” Mercer snapped when his story was finished, and Brynjolf grimaced. 

“We don’t have the funds to buy off all of them,” he replied. “And besides, Girrolf fought back, in the middle of the street surrounded by witnesses. Even the guards we do have sway over would have to defend themselves in a situation like that.” 

“I knew that lout wasn’t cut out for this,” Mercer muttered.

Brynjolf wisely chose to keep his mouth shut. Even if he thought Mercer was being overly harsh, he couldn’t deny that the lad had brought his fate down on himself. 

“I’ll speak with Maven,” Mercer continued. “Maybe she can use her resources to redirect the Jarl’s attention. Let everyone know to keep off the streets in the meantime. Hopefully the heat will die down in a few days and we can get back to work.” 

Brynjolf nodded and turned, but Mercer spoke up before he could make his exit. 

“Remember what I told you about attachments, Brynjolf.” 

Brynjolf frowned, looking back at him. 

“Excuse me?”

Mercer just raised an eyebrow. 

“Do you honestly think the rumors about the two of you somehow wouldn’t reach me?”

Brynjolf fought the urge to roll his eyes. 

“Last I checked, we were running a Guild, not a gossip chain,” he said, and Mercer scoffed.

“Last I checked, the Guild’s first lieutenant needed to keep himself free from distractions.” 

“Why is everyone suddenly so interested in how I spend my spare time?” Brynjolf demanded. “I don’t need your permission any more than I need Vekel’s, Guildmaster or no.” 

“True, and as far as I’m concerned, you can bed whoever you damn well please when you’re off the job,” Mercer growled. “As long as you’re able to keep your priorities in line.” 

“That’s what you’re worried about?” Brynjolf asked, crossing his arms. “The Guild will always come first, Mercer. I shouldn’t need to tell you that.”  

The two glared at each other for a moment, but then, to Brynjolf’s surprise, Mercer sighed and nodded his head. 

“You’re right, of course. And you’ve done nothing that gives me any real reason to think otherwise.” 

“Damn right I haven’t,” Brynjolf said with a huff. “So why the sudden scrutiny?”

Mercer glanced around the room, then leaned forward and lowered his voice. 

“It’s just that the last time a member of Guild leadership got involved with a subordinate? It didn’t exactly go well. That’s not something I’m eager to revisit anytime soon.”

Brynjolf winced. He had to admit, the comparison wasn’t entirely without merit. He could imagine how a strong willed, quick witted, and highly skilled thief like Ariene, who used a bow as her main weapon on top of it all, would give Mercer some bad memories.

He hadn’t known Karliah as well as he’d known Gallus; if he was honest, he’d felt a bit intimidated by the Dunmer when he was a young footpad. Still, it’d been plain even to him how much both Gallus and Mercer had admired and cared for her, which only made her betrayal sting all the more in the end. 

“This won’t end like that,” he said quietly, but Mercer just raised an eyebrow.

“And you can guarantee that, can you? Listen, like I said. Bed whoever you want, I can’t stop you. Just keep what I’ve said in mind. Men like us, we aren’t meant for the softer things in life.” 

“Whatever you say,” Brynjolf muttered, turning away. 

He scanned the cistern, and he knew from the way every Guildmember in the room became very absorbed in what they were doing the moment he laid eyes on them that this conversation would be all over the Guild by morning. 

Fine, let the footpads talk. It didn’t make any difference to him, as long as everyone still did their jobs. 

He approached Rune, who in his estimation would be least likely to indulge in any gossipping. 

“The streets are hot tonight, and probably will be for a few days,” he told the lad. “Everyone should lay low down here until things calm down a bit topside. Spread the word, and if anyone has work in other holds, they shouldn't wear guild armor until they leave the city.”

Rune nodded, and Brynjolf cast another glance around the cistern.

“Ariene went through towards the Flagon,” Rune offered in an overly casual voice. “Just in case you were wondering.”

Brynjolf looked back at him, raising an eyebrow, and Rune blinked a few times, holding his eyes wide open. They stood frozen for a moment, staring at each other, then Brynjolf finally laughed. 

“The innocent look doesn’t suit you lad,” he said, shaking his head. “Play to your strengths and stick to picking pockets.” 

“Whatever you say, boss,” Rune called after him, and Brynjolf chuckled as he walked away. 

Sure, the other Guildmembers could be a pain in the ass sometimes, but in their own strange way, they were all a family. He knew Mercer had his reasons for keeping things close to the chest, but that didn’t mean the rest of them had to live like that.

True to Rune’s word, he found Ariene sitting at a table in the Ragged Flagon, a new quiver of arrows and a pack of supplies at her feet. She was still in civilian clothes, though she’d pulled a thick travel cloak over her dress, and her bow was once again strapped across her body. 

She looked up as he approached, and nodded to the empty chair across from her. There was a drink and a small plate of bread and cheese sitting there for him, and Brynjolf smiled. 

“Sorry it’s not the meal that I’d hoped we’d have tonight,” she said as Brynjolf sat down and took a grateful sip of the ale.

“Don’t worry about it, lass,” he said, waving off her concern. “Vekel’s cooking hasn’t killed me yet.” 

“Don’t tempt me!” Vekel called from across the room, and Ariene snorted. 

“Have everything you need, lass?” Brynjolf asked, gesturing to her supplies, and she nodded.

“I think so. I have to say, I’d planned on avoiding Solitude, what with it being the site of the Imperial headquarters in Skyrim and all. But I doubt anyone that far north will be concerned about a border runner, what with the war in full swing after Ulfric’s escape.” 

Brynjolf frowned. 

“If you really want, we can assign someone else to this–” he began, but Ariene shook her head.

“I’ll be fine. I know how to blend in in a big city like Solitude. What about Gulum-Ei, any tips on how to handle him?” 

“He’s one of the most stubborn lizards I’ve ever met, I’ll tell you that much,” Brynjolf said with a snort. “You’re probably going to have to buy him off; coin is just about the only way to get his attention.” 

He tapped his chin thoughtfully. 

“Now that I think about it, I’ve not heard of him dealing with property before. Smuggling goods is his usual scheme. But then again, he hasn’t done business with us in the last year or so. I’ll bet you my last septim that whatever he’s up to now, he’s in way over his head.”

“Hmmm…maybe I can use that as leverage,” Ariene mused. “Thanks for the insight.” 

She rolled her neck and shoulders, letting out a sigh before getting to her feet and grabbing her knapsack. 

“I should probably get going, before Mercer comes in here and sees me ignoring his orders.”

“Stay sharp out there, lass,” Brynjolf said. He took a breath, then added: “and I’m sorry too. About tonight, I mean.”

“It’s not your fault,” Ariene said, shrugging. “Hopefully I won’t be gone too long, and we can pick things up where we left off.” 

“Come back with good intel, and I’ll buy you one of those fancy concoctions Talen-Jei makes at the Bee and Barb,” Brynjolf promised. 

“Deal,” she said, smiling. 

She started to move past him, to leave through the cistern’s back door, but Brynjolf caught her by the hand before she could exit. 

“Good luck, lass,” he said. 

A phrase he’d heard Gallus use years ago flitted through his mind, and he found himself repeating it. 

“Walk with the shadows.”

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes: Not a bad film, but it wasted a lot of time to get to the villain. Proximus; not the mc but the real star of the movie. *spoilers

The best trait about the film is how it honors Caesar and Proximus' argument against humans and how Mae proved his point multiple times- and yet despite him being right, he was not better for Apekind neither.

He wanted those weapons to prevent apes from being put back in cages (namely himself) but seeing how he treated his own before the weapons, he'd be no better after he got them.

Proximus is likely the reason why most people are going to see it, the guy calls himself "Proximus Caesar" with a crown on his head was definitely my reason to watch.

He's in maybe 30% of the film, PAST the halfway mark. I shit you not, he's barely in it.

That's good for Noa because it gives him time to flesh out & develop, but an otherwise total waste of a good actor and antagonist character with so much potential who literally CARRIED the marketing.

We don't even find out where he came from.

The clips in the trailer, screencaps, and clips are the majority of his content. VERY VERY bad decision.

The one thing they got right beside how he's portrayed, mannerisms and the fact that he's right "Humans can't be trusted", is the fact that they did NOT blatantly kill him, it was very vague, we didn't see him die. He fell in the ocean, he's not dead.

How he was taken out was a little corny (Very Disney) especially when NONE of his goons made it or followed the rest to the top. but ONLY the Eagle Clan & somehow the kids too (convenient)

If they wanted to impress? Proximus would've won as far as getting the weapons but Mae, Noa & the clan still get away. Mae can still do what she was appointed to do but Proximus is now a bigger threat.

Mae was the weakest part of the movie for me, she impressed me at times (that rear chokehold being one example) but she was meh. Should've gotten an older, experienced actress with some more career mileage, some more charisma. Something.

The ending is a bit confusing as well, that virus was clearly not as potent as originally thought if what happened was truly the case for some humans. AND on top of that the Sat-coms still work? Sheesh that is mad convenient for a timeskip of SEVERAL GENERATIONS later, lmfao.

Felt like a tame hybrid of "Dawn" & "War" in one movie.

Compared to Proximus, we got a lot more of The Colonel in "War" & way earlier, the earliest we got of him was hearing his voice over a radio-com. If Proximus got more screen-time than Colonel AND he won?? The movie would've been goat status Day 1. Guaranteed.

This was a missed opportunity to hit the ground running out the gate with something risky, especially for a 4th installment in this new run. This needed something different.

Well made movie, well acted but we did not get enough time with the King of the “Kingdom” of the Planet of the Apes.

Bugatti Chiron Profilée

This one-off car is a pre-production model not included in the planned 500-unit run of Chirons.

It was developed in response to customer demand for a tamer, more elegant version of the hardcore, track-focused Chiron Pur Sport launched in early 2020. However, higher than expected demand for the Chiron in general meant all 500 build slots for the hypercar were already accounted for before the Chiron Profilée could be brought to market.

The Profilée benefits from the upgraded chassis and shorter gear ratios of the Pur Sport, including the modified camber angles of the wheels. However, noticeably missing is the Pur Sport's 6-foot-wide rear wing. In its place is a smaller ducktail spoiler, which together with a revised front lip spoiler helps to generate sufficient downforce for the Profilée.

The name of the car is derived from its rear wing. It's a nod to one of Jean Bugatti’s first creations, the Type 46, which was nicknamed the Superprofilée and featured a rear section with its own flick in the tail.

The wheels are also a design unique to the Profilée.

Venturi 111 Cup 

MVS – standing for Manufacture de Voitures de Sport or "sports car maker" - was founded in 1984 by French engineers Claude Poiraud and Gérard Godfroy to compete with fast, luxurious GT offerings from Porsche, Aston Martin, and Ferrari. Introduced at the 1986 Paris Motor Show, the company's first production model was the Venturi, a stylish mid-engine sports car utilizing a tubular steel backbone chassis with box section reinforcement and low-slung, aerodynamic bodywork manufactured from weight-saving fiberglass. Underpinnings included an independent double-wishbone front suspension and a multi-link rear.

While essentially retaining the same layout, underlying structure, and fiberglass body shell throughout production, the model was continuously refined and updated including a revised suspension system and the availability of new engines with varying levels of power. For 1990, the model received a mild facelift primarily consisting of a deeper front spoiler and new side sills, while the MVS name was discarded in favor of Venturi and a new company logo.

This 1991 Venturi 111 Cup is believed to be one of just three built for the Italian market to cleverly circumvent the then-punitive thirty-eight percent tax on cars with more than 2.0-liters of engine displacement. Derived from the contemporary Renault 21 Turbo, this example is powered by a turbocharged, fuel-injected 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine developing a claimed 185 horsepower. Placed amidship ahead of the rear axle and delivering power to the rear wheels through a five-speed transmission, the motor was more compact and weighed less than the six-cylinder units in other Venturi models, benefiting the car with sharper handling and slightly better fuel economy.

STAR WARS — The Acolyte

EP 1 — Lost / Found

MAIN THOUGHTS:

Very interesting case of a mistaken identity in a murder accusation

The Jedi are at their most powerful and believe they are not in danger, but this is proven false, though they do not know it yet.

It is also curious how three months ago, when SW.com released the official character descriptions, they tell us “Mae gets swept up into a sinister mystery—one that puts her into the center of a conflict in unexpected ways”, but it’s not Mae, because there is a plot twist.

All in all, amazing first episode.

Also, clever marketing gimmick about Mae.

(spoilers in my notes below!)

- Opens with ominous music and summary text in blue, signaling this takes place in the distant past.

- Jedi are at their best; something is stirring.

- The classic pan down… on a location named UEDA (interestingly, that’s also a Japanese surname, pronounced you-ey-dah.)

- A hooded character, Mae, walks into town; does the classic ask-pay-and-search for person of interest.

- Mae finds Master Indara and requests combat. Mae is turned down but that’s not stopping her, so she attacks the patrons at India’s table with impressive unarmed combat skill.

- Indara rises to Mae’s challenge; Mae has a knife, but Indara bests Mae, who lets up the stairs and holds a young woman at knifepoint before disappearing. Mae is mysterious, an “unidentified Force-user”, according to Indara.

- Mae is swift, but Indara is faster at dodging. Mae wants to kill Indara - for as-of-yet unknown reasons, and Indara issues the younger woman a warning. Mae distracts Indara and Force-throws a dagger, which pierces Indara’s chest. She bleeds, and falls.

- Mae collects her other dagger, and leaves.

- TITLE CARD.

- Something beeps, and Mae awakens in a room. (Short sleeves and shorts also exist in SW, who knew.)

- She greets Pip, her droid. An alarm blares. Later, dressed, Mae walks out and is addressed as Osha, a pseudonym. After a short conversation with Fillik, she heads out to make some repairs.

- There is a small explosion, resulting in an equally small fire; it triggers one of Mae’s memories of pleading for her mother’s help.

- A ship flies past, carrying two Jedi - Knight Yord Fandar, and Padawan Tasi Lowa. They seek a former Jedi named “Osha Aniseya”. (Seems like Mae is a pseudonym (no) and Osha is the real name (yes). (Side note, I am half wrong, but at this point, I do not know this.) Yord is given Osha’s bunk number on the bigger vessel.

- Osha returns to her room, and Yord is within. They may have been friends previously. Osha reveals she’s been a “meknek” (mechanic?) since she “left the Order” about 6 years ago, having joined aged 8.

- Tasi notes that age and emotional state was a concerning factor during Osha’s admittance; much like Anakin in the future. She had mourned the loss of her mothers and her sister; Master Sol had brought her to the Order.

- Yord and Tasi have sought Osha because of Indara’s murder on Ueda. Osha tries to bluff, but it does not work; she is brought back to Coruscant.

- In the Temple, Sol is carrying out a lesson to a room half full of younglings when Master Vernestra “Vern” walks in. Sol greets her, and in more words, says that he knows Indara was slain.

- On the prison ship, other convicts cause the ship to exit hyperspace, and jettison into space. The ship careens, the last prisoner escapes in a pod, leaving Osha alone. It’s become dangerous.

- The ship crash lands on an icy and rocky outcrop, on a planet called Carlac.

- Back at the temple, Jecki informs Sol that Vern requests him to be “at the detainment level”.

- Jecki and Sol exchange a version of the old saying that goes, if you don’t learn from history you’re doomed to repeat it.

- Sol tells Vern, “If she is guilty, it is my failure.” The vibe is like a parent taking all responsibility for the child they did not succeed in rearing.

- On Carlac, Osha wakes up. There is a figure at the door; said figure walks away, Osha is intrigued and follows.

- Sol is bringing Jecki to Carlac to find Osha. Sol also wants to bring Yord along too.

- Back on Carlac, Osha follows the figure, only for said figure to turn around and reveal herself as Mae, Osha’s sister. Her twin sister.

- Suddenly the scenery around her changes, Osha is on Brendok. Turns out Osha is going through a memory, an old memory. Mae had stated, “You’re with me. I’m with you. Always one, but born as two.” This is interesting…

- Mae continues, “As above sits the stars, and below lies the sea, I give you you…” and Osha finishes, “…and you give me me.”

- For this part of the memory, Osha “reverts” to being her younger self to communicate with her sister Mae, who admits to killing Indara.

- For the second time, Osha awakes, but this time for real. She must have experienced either a clear memory or a very powerful Force vision.

- On the ship carrying Sol, Yord, and Jecki, Sol recounts how Osha’s twin sister murdered her who family, leaving Osha alive. (This means the conclusion Osha came to, was half the information Sol knows. Osha knows Mae killed Indara, Yord believes Osha killed Indara, Sol does not want to believe this but needs to bring Osha in.)

- Yord admits to not knowing Osha was a twin, or even had a twin. Sol believes Mae is dead, saying “I saw her die”, which may be the case. Just because Osha communicated with Mae in the vision, does not necessarily mean Mae is alive. But Sol is about to be proved wrong.

- The three Jedi arrive at Osha’s downed ship; she has gone off somewhere. They track her to a cliff edge and beckon her. Osha trips and falls off the ledge but Sol saves her from falling.

- Osha tells Sol, “Mae is alive”. Sol says he believes her. For him, it makes sense - he had brought her in, taught her, and therefore, knows her enough to know Osha must not have killed Indara, and that it confirms for him that since Mae is identical to Osha, and Osha wasn’t even in the right place to have killed Indara to begin with, it begs more than enough reason for Sol to believe her. But that will not be enough.

- Elsewhere, a stranger speaks to Mae, who walks across a rocky beach. She reaches a hooded figure standing on a ledge, who ignites a red lightsaber.

Hulloooo!

For the ask game: 🥞🙊🌈🌠👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 and Purshee?

all the Purshee love! (i already answered the pancakes one previously, but i'll gladly take the other ones :D)

SPEAK-NO-EVIL - what is something your oc will refuse to stay quiet about?

Any sort of mistreatment of Archive material (╬▔皿▔)╯

perps are gonna catch these very tiny yellow fists so fast!!!

 RAINBOW - what advice would they give to their younger self?

Do not eat that fried vegetable of unidentifiable origin from that random moon's night market stall. You are incredibly allergic to something in it and it derails the entire mission.

SHOOTING STAR - if they could make any wish with no repercussions, what wish would they make?

Canon timeline? That the Sith never resurfaced and the Jedi Order wasn't destroyed.

The AU in my mind where all is well and nothing hurts? That she didn't ever have to sleep again so she had double the time to read new and fascinating sources on random and obscure Force-user lore from across the galaxy

FAMILY - what is their family like? what is your ocs relationship to them? does your oc have any siblings?

lol okay, so I am going to put this under the cut because it's theoretically mild mud fic spoilers, but...

regarding her bio family:

her mother was a shili immigrant to Serenno. Purshee inherited her latent and underdeveloped Force-Sensitivity. Her mother realized what her daughter was quite early on and secretly requested the Jedi to take her to the Temple because her father, born and bred on Serenno itself, was all aboard the old Counts' witchunt against anything Force-sensitive. He didn't know about his wife's abilities until he died.

Her mother, whose name is Nebre btw, eventually leaves him after the birth of Purshee's younger siblings, a pair of Force-null twins. Purshee herself in the canon timeline has had zero contact to her family for her whole life. The only thing she has is a small copper amulet of the serennian Kika'lekki faith, which Nebre gave with her as a good luck charm.

regarding her lineage:

She's the first Padawan of Vima-Da-Boda and as such a member of Nomi Sunrider's extended lineage. She absolutely adores her Master and her Master loved her and when Vima's daughter was born, Purshee practically helped raise the baby.

Sadly, Neema (Vima's daugther) eventually developed a one-sided rivalry with Purshee over the affection of her mother and Master. In 'canon' Purshee never managed to rectify that situation and eventually distanced herself from her lineage after Neema's fall and death and Vima's mental breakdown over the loss.

In my mind where canon is but a vague suggestion tho none of that happens and hey are a happy family forever and ever.

Though Purshee never takes a Padawan of her own, she's always there as a helping hand for any fellow Archivists or Masters during their child-rearing adventures.

1986 Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2

It is often said that racing improves the breed, and the move by Formula One to a hybrid drivetrain has seen the equivalent technology in road cars evolve at an unprecedented pace. Manufacturers will always seek what is commonly called “an unfair advantage,” exploiting the rule book to its outer limits to extract greater speed from their racing models. It was against this backdrop that Pontiac released its 1986 Grand Prix 2+2. It was developed as a homologation special for NASCAR competition and only graced showrooms for one year.

NASCAR competition has evolved into a sport featuring control underpinnings and exterior panels that are almost identical across all participating brands. Today’s cars share little with their predecessors, and the term “stock car” has a reasonably loose meaning. Earlier generations were based upon showroom models, and it was against this backdrop that cars like the Chevrolet Monte Carlo Aerocoupe and the Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2 emerged. General Motors sought aerodynamic and downforce improvements for their participating models, and smoothing the airflow across the body and rear spoiler achieved this without introducing additional drag. Wholesale sheetmetal changes weren’t warranted, but adding a fastback-style back window achieved the goal at a reasonable cost. The cars weren’t the most elegant on the planet, and the reduced trunk opening to accommodate the changes reduced practicality. Still, the Aerocoupe and 2+2 proved effective on superspeedways like Daytona and Talladega. Pontiac released 1,118 examples of the Grand Prix 2+2 to qualify for NASCAR competition, with all finished in a combination of Silver and Gray. The history of this car is unclear, but it presents exceptionally well for its age. The paint retains a healthy shine, while the plastic and graphics are excellent. Dealers sold the 2+2 at a premium price, but the extra cost didn’t guarantee that these classics would lead an easy life. Many owners drove them hard and fast, and it is common to see dilapidated and rusty examples appearing in the classic market. This car has avoided that fate and would turn more heads today than in 1986.

Pontiac considered the Grand Prix 2+2 to be a muscle car, although the 165hp and 245 ft/lbs of torque produced by its 305ci V8 doesn’t hint at anything special. Buyers received a four-speed 200-4R automatic transmission and a 3.08 rear end as standard fare, with no manual option to improve performance. The ¼-mile ET of 17 seconds perfectly demonstrates the depths of The Malaise Era. While that figure looks modest by modern standards, it was what buyers expected during that period. The situation would improve in the future, but it is sobering to consider that you can drive a four-cylinder family sedan or hatchback off the showroom floor today that could show this Grand Prix a clean set of heels.

The Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2 was a one-year-only model sold in limited numbers. I don’t find these the most attractive cars on the planet, with Chevrolet achieving better aesthetic results with its Aerocoupe. However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and you might find yourself irresistibly drawn to this classic. I respect that if it is the case because it is a car that would still draw crowds thirty-eight years after it rolled off the line. Evolving racing rules mean we will probably never see similar vehicles in the future, and owning this Grand Prix would be a link to the company’s motorsport heritage.

New Post has been published on https://www.vividracing.com/blog/the-best-bmw-g87-m2-aero-kit-has-arrived/

The Best BMW G87 M2 Aero Kit Has Arrived

The BMW G87 M2 may be the most controversial performance car to hit the market, at least in my lifetime. Not from a performance standpoint either, but controversy surrounding the unique and somewhat blind-sided body language from the M Performance team. BMW has taken us through the wringer with many big changes to their design language in recent updates. The G87 seems to ruffle the most feathers with its square and bulky bodylines that don’t follow much from its older sibling, the F87.

Well, whether you’ve loved the most recent M2 from its 2022 release or have grown to appreciate BMW’s take on the chassis, Vorstiener has entered the conversation with a reimagined carbon fiber aero program that has us wanting to acquire a Toronto Red M2, stat! This is the VRS Carbon Fiber Aero Program. Vorsteiner has always been a staple for creating some of the most stunning aftermarket upgrades primarily focused in the German manufacturing category. Vorsteiner develops outstanding kits for BMW M line with a massive and recent success with reimaging the M3/M4 G8X generation. So much that it’s difficult to see a properly finished G8X that isn’t fitted with a piece from the Vorstiner M3 / M4 Aero Program. While we love the finish of the G8X program, there is something evolving about the new M2 release. If you aren’t aware, the Vorsteiner brand is also the same as Gunther Works; the brilliance behind reimagining the Porsche 911 into what Gunther Werks is. From what I see, this program carries a lot of inspiration from those design concepts for the refinished Porsche 911s. The kit is composed of the following five features:

  VRS Carbon Fiber Front Lip Spoiler – Check It Out at Vivid Racing

  VRS Carbon Fiber Hood – Check It Out at Vivid Racing

  VRS Carbon Fiber Vented Fenders w/ Slated Carbon Side Skirts – Check It Out at Vivid Racing

  VRS Carbon Fiber Bootlid – Check It Out at Vivid Racing

  VRS Carbon Fiber Diffuser – Check It Out at Vivid Racing

This aero program is sold à la carte and can be creatively acquired one by one or all five pieces to activate the program entirely. If you have any questions that aren’t covered in this article, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at sales@vividracing.com or by giving us a call at (480) 966-3040 Vivid Racing is a premium Vorsteiner dealer with the best options and pricing on the market!

1.) Vorsteiner VRS Aero Bootlid Carbon Fiber PP 2×2 Glossy BMW G87 M2 2023+

A testament to precision engineering and cutting-edge materials. Crafted with Vorsteiner’s signature carbon fiber, each piece is meticulously manufactured using state-of-the-art aerospace autoclave technology.

This bootlid is a full replacement for your OEM trunk. With the seamless duck-lip style spoiler that has carbon exposed on the inverted backside of the lip, we can’t deny the Gunther Werks aesthetics cross-pollinating with the Vorsteiner design concepts. This extended duck lip compliments the rear end of the G87 very well. The OEM fitment of this bootlid also appears to be spot-on, maintaining proper spacing.

This advanced process ensures unparalleled rigidity, strength, and flawless finish in every aerodynamic component. What sets Vorsteiner apart is their utilization of resin pre-impregnated, vacuum-formed carbon fiber, resulting in a product 20% – 30% stiffer and stronger compared to traditional wet-lay-up methods.

Not only does this technique elevate performance, but it also significantly reduces rejection rates, leading to faster delivery times. Vorsteiner employs a strategic combination of unidirectional, 1×1, and 2×2 weave carbon fiber to achieve the perfect balance between weight reduction and structural integrity.

Thanks to their innovative vacuum-formed technology, excess resin is drawn out during production, effectively shedding unnecessary weight without compromising strength. This meticulous process ensures a precise fit and finish, seamlessly integrating with the factory shut lines and contours for a flawless aesthetic.

With Vorsteiner, you can trust that each carbon fiber component is engineered to elevate both the performance and aesthetics, in this case, with the BMW G87 M2, setting new standards in aftermarket excellence.

Tying this whole kit together is a gorgeous 1-piece front lip spoiler that is breathtaking! If you are running a snug fitment on your G87, on man, this is going to make your car’s stance LOW! It appears to extend the front lip about 2-3 inches closer to the ground, tightening up the clearance for an incredible stance. Appearance aside, I really like what Vorsteiner has done with this front spoiler design. There are tons of thoughtful lines that I would imagine are contributing to some serious additional downforce on this front end. This front spoiler is a must-have.

Featured Wheels: Vorsteiner VFX 002 Gloss Black Concave Wheels BMW M3 G8X | M4 G87 2023+

This mid-split five-spoke design is absolutely stunning on the G8X and G87 chassis’. With an aggressive, bespoke fitment, these wheels provide a flush finish that is perfect. While the spoke design isn’t something that we haven’t seen before, the slotted, aero-disc style is an excellent touch. Vorsteiner designed this with functionality in mind. The machined slots provide cool air to be propelled into the brakes to assist with managing high temps from the brakes. From an aesthetic perspective, we are getting some futurist motorsports vibes. the glossy black finish gives the tires the appearance of some big ol’ sidewall. Personally, I love it. Remember, we can send this out to you, mounted and balanced, with your tire of choice. Swap those old ones out in the driveway and be onto your next cars and coffee with a new fit.

Powerful S13 Silvia armed with stylish full aero

Liberty Cars 847 Kurami, Samukawa-cho, Koza-gun, Kanagawa 253-01 0467-73-1496

The S13 Silvia has grown into a standard tuning car, replacing the AE86, which was the mainstream for drifting. Its popularity has reached a stable period and it is quite easy to buy.

I've settled on the price.

Even in the used car market, the mainstream is shifting from CA to SR, but CA still seems to be very popular. Since there are so many Silvias out there, it would be a good idea to not only tune up your ride, but also dress up to make yourself a little different from the crowd.

For such people, we recommend the Silvia wearing full aero. The Silvia, which is based on a tuned car and has aero parts installed at Liberty Cars, has an attractive stylish form. The front spoiler is also unique, but the veil side rear spoiler also has a distinctive form. It's not just the appearance that is different. contents

It's also well tuned. Since it has been changed to a larger turbine, supercharging takes effect later than in the normal model, but the power it produces is intense. Still, it doesn't give the impression that it's difficult to handle, and since it's a 4-cylinder engine, even with a larger turbine, there's little deterioration in response. The effect of increasing power will be greater than that, and you should be able to drive comfortably.

Large intercooler, blow-off valve

Most of the basic tuning items such as fuel valves and HKS mufflers are installed. The suspension area where GAB is installed has a hard setting, but it's not just hard, it's also flexible.

PIC CAPTIONS

●HKS EVC is stored in the glove box, so it is not normally visible. The interior is kept in almost normal condition, so you don't get the impression that it's a tuned car.

●It is dressed up with full aerodynamics, and the large Veilside rear spoiler is the main accent. A mesh wheel is attached to the front.

Changed the CA 18DET's stock turbine to a large-capacity Garrett turbine. Equipped with HKS power flow and blow-off valve, it takes advantage of the good response of the 4-cylinder engine to increase power.
